Robinson Jeffers and his poetic reflections of Inhumanism, 1998
Get PDFThis study examined the poetry of Robinson Jeffers and the extent to which his philosophy of Inhumanism impacts his verse. The interpretation was based on the premise that the poet's doctrine of Inhumanism is not a philosophical detestation of man; rather it is an exhortation to mankind to reach its potential - a consciousness Jeffers describes as �transhuman magnificence.� Moreover, the poet implores man to amend his arrogant conception of humanity as separate and superior to nature, to revel in images of the divine in nature, and to accept the truth that his existence is relatively insignificant in the larger cosmic order. Jeffers' oeuvre was divided into three distinct phases; in each one, the poet explores various postures and situations for his theory. The earliest period was analyzed using the narratives �Tamar,� �Roan Stallion,� and �The Women at Point Sur.� The second phase was examined via the longer poems such as �Dear Judas,� and �Such Counsels You Gave to Me.� The final stage was evaluated through interpretations of the shorter lyric poems published in The Double Axe and Other Poems, and The Beginning and the End and Other Poems. The research confirmed that as Jeffers' poetic statements matured and evolved to higher artistic levels, so too did his philosophic tenets become more intellectually sound and resonate at a clearer frequency. The conclusion drawn from the findings suggests that Jeffers' doctrine of Inhumanism is the confluence of several ideological positions and countless personal experiences which suffuse the bulk of his poetic work
