Abstract
It’s difficult to conclude this thesis without having that annoying felling of not writing every thing that should be written about a great poet like Robert Lowell. This study traces the development of Robert Lowell’s poetry from his first volume in poetry, Land of Unlikeness, to his last one Day by Day, discussing the works in order as they have appeared chronologically, focusing on theme and technique. This thesis strives to present an acceptable critical study of Lowell’s work, for Lowell has a very distinguished position in American literature as well as modern poetry. This thesis gets help from a great deal of books, reviews and essays, which discuss Lowell as a poet as well as a man because he breaks the boundaries between both private and public life in his poetry, he puts his personal life into his poems in an amazing candor.
This thesis puts an emphasis on those works, which in my view are central to Lowell’s meaning and from. The division of the thesis into chapters depends on the period in which Lowell’s poetical volumes appear chronologically; the early age from the publication of his juvenilia, Land of Unlikeness (1944), the middle age and the appearance of his masterpiece Life Studies, then the last days and his last poems in Day by Day (1977). Almost, the study doesn’t ignore any of Lowell’s work in poetry, yet it sheds more light on some works while other works and particular poems receive less concern according to the themes and techniques they present and confirm. Moving from particular volumes and their key poems depends mainly on the thematic and the technical concern of the chapter and the whole thesis.
