Victorian Poetry 13: Concluding class on Clough’s ”Amours de Voyage”
Manage episode 357457354 series 2534758
What amours de voyage are. What it means to idealize what Keats calls "The fair creature of an hour," as Claude does. How such idealizations derive from "Juxtapositions." What it means to see through one's own idealization, by understanding its biochemical substrate. What's wrong with seeing through that idealization. With examples from Proust (and his differences from Freud). All relevant tangents, or so I think. With some interesting information about Andrea Aguyor.
