Özet:
The Introduction to A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle puts forward the view that the poem should be seen both in the Scottish context and as an important European poem of the 1920s period. In the Scottish context, the Introduction suggests that MacDiarmid's affinities lie with Henryson rather than Dunbar, It emphasises that in A Drunk Man the poet uses his Scottish past and contemporary influences to produce a poem that is both independent and of its time. The Introduction then discusses the conceptual and stylistic background of the poem in more detail and contrasts A Drunk Man with Bums's 'Tam O'Shanter' and Dunbar's 'Seven Deidly Sins'. It discusses the rhetorical machinery of the poem. The discussion of the poem is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the poem as far as 'The Ballad of the Crucified Rose'. It points out that the impulse of the poem is a philosophical one and demonstrates the connectedness of its parts through a discussion of the opening exposition of the Scottish theme. The discussion in this first part deals also with the imagery of the poem and in addition points to the connection between the ideas of MacDiarmid and Lawrence. It concludes with a discussion of the 'Ballad of the Crucified Rose'. The second section draws attention to the change in the poet's method which becomes more exploratory. It concludes with a discussion of the Drunk Man's vision of the Great Wheel, in which begins his retreat from Scots and Scotland, To Circumjack Cencrastus is in many ways a sequel to A Drunk Man, and takes up the exploration of material and metaphysical reality where the Drunk Man left it. The Introduction discusses the failure of the poem to achieve the stylistic and conceptual unity of A Drunk Man and suggests reasons for this. 'The Cencrastus Theme' compares MacDiarmid's pursuit of Cencras-tus to Eliot's similar search in Four Quartets. It analyses the imagery of the poem and the part it plays in realising the poet's themes. It concludes with a discussion of MacDiarmid's use of the 'Great Sea-Serpent' essay, which points forward stylistically to In Memoriam James Joyce . 'The Scottish Theme' is itself discussed in two parts. The first deals with the Gaelic-theme poems and links MacDiarmid's problems in this part of Cencrastus with the cultural insecurity of Bums and the eighteenth century. The second part of the 'Scottish Theme' discussion deals with the poet's more general depiction of his Scottish cultural environment. In the discussion of the 'Thrums' satire, it again draws a parallel with the eighteenth century, this time with the English Pope. The Cencrastus discussion closes with an exploration of the poem's pivotal nature. The Introduction to In Memoriam James Joyce discusses the conceptual background of the poem in its relationship to the thirties and to the poet's own artistic needs. It points to what the author considers to be a misunderstanding of the poem's argument in the criticism which it has received, and discusses the continuity in vision and theme between this poem and the two earlier long poems. It considers the musical structure of the poem and other features of stylistic method. The discussion of the poem is divided into six parts to correspond with its six movements. The first part considers the poet's conception of language-use and the questions it raises, in particular the bridging of the gap between literature and linguistics and that between science and art. The social theme is explored in this 3 movement principally through the quotation on the work of Karl Kraus. The second movement continues the exploration of the language theme, this time in relation to the workings of the mind. It then opens out into a wider consideration of man and society. The third movement probes the social theme more deeply, while the fourth points to the poet's somewhat unsatisfactory attempts to link East and West imaginatively. The fifth section demonstrates how the poet's apparently Anglophobic satire on English attitudes to art is in fact part of the theme of the artist's relationship to his society. The final movement discusses the various themes of the poem as they are woven together in the poet's 'braid-binding'. It contrasts the poet's expression of his vision of mankind in this poem with A Drunk Man and Cencrastus and discusses the problems which the mainly unrhetorical method of In Memoriam James Joyce raises.
