SUMMARY:Lecture by Tara Guissin-Stubbs
DESCRIPTION:Scholar Tara Guissin-Stubbs\, Associate Professor in English Literature and Director of Studies in English Literature and Creative Writing at Oxford University\, lectures on “Symbols from Within\, and Symbols from Without: The Celtic Revival and the Harlem Renaissance” as part of Princeton University’s 2020-21 Fund for Irish Studies series. \nThis talk considers James Weldon Johnson’s assertion in his Preface to The Book of American Negro Poetry (1922) that the black poet needs to find ‘symbols from within rather than symbols from without’ in order to find a suitable form; in so doing\, Johnson contends\, the poet will be doing ‘something like what Synge did for the Irish’. It will discuss overlaps between the Celtic Revival and the Harlem Renaissance\, to try to understand just what Johnson meant\, and what this means for us now. \nPhoto courtesy Tara Guissin-Stubbs\nGuissin-Stubbs is an associate professor in English literature\, and director of studies in English literature and creative writing at Oxford University’s Department for Continuing Education\, and dean of Kellogg College\, Oxford. She is the author of a range of publications on Irish and American literature\, poetry\, and transatlantic culture\, including American Literature and Irish Culture\, 1910–1955: The Politics of Enchantment (2012); Navigating the Transnational in Modern American Literature and Culture with Doug Haynes (2017); and her most recent monograph\, The Modern Irish Sonnet: Revision and Rebellion (2020). She is also the book reviews editor for the open access journal International Yeats Studies and a senior fellow of the Rothermere American Institute\, Oxford. Her next book project will build on her public engagement work on poetry and structure\, which discovers analogies for poetry within nature and visual art to find new ways of thinking about poetry\, and to break down some of its mystique. \nJOIN THE EVENT\nThis virtual event is free and open to the public.
