• W87769337 abstract "As Elizabeth Madox Roberts' novel, The Time of Man, nears its conclusion, the outer appearance of the heroine, Ellen Chesser Kent, reflects her inner wholeness. Indeed, the jubilant words of young Luke Wimble capture the aura of her full self-awareness when he exclaims, You're a bright shiny woman, Ellen Kent ... You got the very honey of life in your heart. (1) Despite the fact that Ellen, her husband Jasper, and their five children are again journeying into the unknown, her spiritual pilgrimage flows securely toward completion. The common areas of space and the o'nary objects of home (p. 12)--as Ellen would describe them in her backcountry way--have nourished this inner growth. Ellen's steady movement toward spiritual unity rests on her total willingness to allow her psyche to encounter and absorb whatever lies closest at hand; she is always open to a direct experience of things in themselves. By imagining actual events and places in the life of a struggling Kentucky tenant farmer, Miss Roberts is able to depict a psychological drama unfolding under the humblest of circumstances. Thus, Ellen Chesser lives with her parents Henry and Nellie in three homes before her marriage to Jasper Kent, and these simple homes, particularly her own bedroom in each house, firmly establish the wholesome pattern of Ellen's interior development. As protective spaces, these houses also have corresponding implications for the creative activity of the artist. The works of French phenomenologist Gaston Bachelard express most effectively the importance of such an openness to the ordinary elements of life. A pioneer in the field of phenomenological studies, Bachelard regards the immediate receptivity to images as the key both to the nurturing of the creative imagination and to the understanding of how the imagination produces poetic works. In particular, his observations in The Poetics of can suggest to us how Ellen's innate ability to respond to the spaces and objects in her life has guided her way and enlivened her At the same time, they can aid in discovering the poetry with which Miss Roberts narrates Ellen's experiences as a young girl in a one-room house or a bedroom in the loft or beside the kitchen. Illustrating his remarks with examples from such poets as Rainer Maria Rilke, Arthur Rimbaud, and Charles Baudelaire, Bachelard conveys forcefully the significance of that interaction between the sensitive mind and the common areas of space it encounters: Space that has been seized upon by the imagination cannot remain indifferent space ... It has been lived in ... with all the particularity of the imagination. (2) His comments and poetic samples also enable us to see how Miss Roberts' novel demonstrates a keen perception of the workings of the human mind. The author, as well as the heroine of The Time of Man, displays a rich imagination through her receptivity to the nuances of space. As an artist, Miss Roberts' foremost concern in all her fiction is the dramatic portrayal of the inner psychic journey. For her, ultimate reality exists in the realm of the spirit; the outer physical world reflects and symbolizes the real absolutes, which originate in the human mind. The landscape of the soul is then made concrete by events and things that confront the mind in the world. She phrases her philosophical convictions this way: Somewhere there is a connection between the world of the mind and the outer order. It is the secret of the contact that we are after, the point, the moment of union. We faintly sense the one and we know as faintly the other, but there is a point at which they come together and we can never know the whole of reality until we know these two completely. (3) Although all human beings attempt to make these connections, the writer is compelled to fashion the process into literary form. In The Time of Man, Ellen's acute consciousness of the variety of spaces in her homes--their inner rooms, corners, stairways, and even their outer appearances--become, for her, moments of union between the two orders, and because as an artist Miss Roberts perceives the secret of these contacts, she is able to shape them into poetic form. …" @default.
