English Critical Discourse Through the Ages: the Continued Drive to Aphorism

English Critical Discourse Through the Ages: the Continued Drive to Aphorism

The paper investigates aphorism in English critical writings by poets and critics through the centuries.

At its most successful in its verse form, aphorism can be said to aim at a scriptural felicity which evidences both its success in terms of clarification and failure in so far as such success makes it verge on the ideological. The interest of Howard Barker’s liminal practice is that it lays bare the oxymoronic tensions at work in aphorism, and so enlightens us as to our own use of such types of writing. Cette étude s’intéresse à l’aphorisme tel que l’ont pratiqué les poètes et critiques anglais à travers les siècles. Dans ses formes versifiées les plus réussies, on peut dire que l’idéal que vise l’aphorisme témoigne de son succès en termes de clarification, en même temps que de l’échec d’une réussite menacée par sa propension idéologique. La pratique limite de Howard Barker a pour intérêt de dénuder ces tensions oxymoriques qui travaillent l’aphorisme et de nous éclairer ainsi sur notre propre emploi de telles formes stylistiques.
