The sense of loneliness, which originates within the individual, can be aroused by a sense of guilt, by the necessity for separation from people...
Show moreThis 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.

Nature, often seen by the poets as "wounded" and sometimes complementary to war, is important to the poets, who incorporated her as healer, as absorber of the dead,...
Show moreThe war poetry of Randall Jarrell reflects themes found in the war poetry of Walt Whitman and Thomas Hardy. The period represented ranges from the Napoleonic Wars through World War II. Hardy wrote about five wars and experienced four in his lifetime; Whitman experienced the American Civil War; and Jarrell experienced World War II. Nature, often seen by the poets as "wounded" and sometimes complementary to war, is important to the poets, who incorporated her as healer, as absorber of the dead, and as a symbolic background for war. The three poets wrote about people in war. Often the soldiers were helpless child victims who withstood the rigors of the military by establishing camaraderie or escaping through dreams and death. Advancing technology brought war, with its machinery and informational immediacy, close to civilians, affecting them and their soldiers as never before.
