    Landscape as a Benchmark: Poetics of Place as a Critical Tool in W.H. Auden’s Prose

    No full text
    W.H. Auden had a profound and clearly defined spatial awareness. As an editor of anthologies, Professor of Poetry at Oxford and author of essays, reviews, forewords and introductions, he was also prolific in the profession of a literary critic judging the work of others. This paper traces the connections between these two facets, with a special emphasis on Auden’s readiness to use other writers’ topophilic responsiveness to the physical environment and landscape as a benchmark for assessing their qualities. Focusing on Auden’s critical assessment of Wordsworth, Frost, Betjeman and Rilke on the basis of their poetics of place, the present study examines Auden’s implementation of this criterion in his critical method.

Auden měl hlubokou, jasně definovanou a opakovaně deklarovanou prostorovou vnímavost. Krom toho se na základě zkušeností nasbíraných v roli editora antologií, profesora poezie v Oxfordu a autora esejů, recenzí, předmluv a úvodů, stal erudovaným a uznávaným literárním kritikem. Tento článek hledá spojnice mezi těmito dvěma aspekty jeho života a tvorby. Klade důraz na Audenovu tendenci kriticky využívat vnímavost hodnocených autorů vůči prostoru, krajině a místům či jejich topofilickou citlivost. Konkrétně je článek zaměřen na Audenovo chápání díla W. Wordswortha, R. Frosta, J. Betjemana a E.M. Rilkeho na základě jejich rozdílné poetiky místa a využití tohoto aspektu jejich poezie pro účely literární kritiky

    Single frequency erbium fiber external cavity semiconductor laser

    A novel external cavity configuration for stable single frequency operation of the semiconductor laser is demonstrated. By using an erbium doped fiber as the external cavity, longitudinal mode-hopping is suppressed, ensuring single frequency operation. Employing a 3m long fiber cavity, resolution-limited optical linewidths of a kHz are obtained.[This article may be downloaded for personal use only.
