A Study in the Evolution of Lyric and Narrative Form
By

about it. The extent of their drama tically altered response to the phenomena of
modern warfare is the subject of this study, which explores their range of emo–
tional reaction and poetic technique.

The Long Shadow
Emily Dickinson's Tragic Poetry
By
Clark Griffith
Clark Griffith here seeks to demonstrate that, if we corne to terms with
her true intellectual position, we find that Emily Dickinson is a tragic poet.
He studies her dependence upon irony, and her use of various kinds of ironic
stratagem, showing the transition in her attitude from detachment to tragic
involvement.
