RANDALL JARRELL: THE ILLUMINATION OF LONELINESS

Date Issued:
1973
Summary:
This study examines the theme of loneliness in Randall Jarrell's poetry. There seem to be two major sources of loneliness: the loneliness which comes from exterior sources and that which comes from interior sources. The sense of loneliness imposed on men from the outside includes abandonment and dehumanization. These are treated in his early poetry. The sense of loneliness, which originates within the individual, can be aroused by a sense of guilt, by the necessity for separation from people and places we love, and by a sense of psychological fragmentation. These inner causes increasingly become the subject of Jarrell's later poetry.
