This study offers a fresh approach to the theory and practice of poetry criticism from a narratological perspective. Arguing that lyric poems share basic constituents of narration with prose fiction, namely temporal sequentiality of events and verbal mediation, the authors propose the transgeneric application of narratology to the poetic genre with the aim of utilizing the sophisticated framework of narratological categories for a more precise and complex modeling of the poetic text. On this basis, the study provides a new impetus to the neglected field of poetic theory as well as to...

Lyrik wird in der Regel als eigenstandige Gattung betrachtet - in Abgrenzung zu erzahlenden und szenisch vermittelnden Texten. In dieser Publikation soll mit Bezug auf Kategorien der Erzahltheorie herausgearbeitet werden, dass auch Gedichte grundlegende Eigenschaften (insbesondere die perspektivierte Vermittlung sequentiell organisierter Ereignisse) aufweisen, die als Kennzeichen von Narrativitat gelten. Damit ergeben sich zum einen wichtige Revisionen fur die Gattungstheorie, zum anderen werden die Verfahren zur Textanalyse von Gedichten erheblich erweitert und prazisiert - auch unter...

Lyric poetry as a temporal art-form makes pervasive use of narrative elements in organizing the progressive course of the poetic text. This observation justifies the application of the advanced methodology of narratology to the systematic analysis of lyric poems. After a concise presentation of this transgeneric approach to poetry, the study sets out to demonstrate its practical fruitfulness in detailed analyses of a large number of English (and some American) poems from the early modern period to the present. The narratological approach proves particularly suited to focus on the hitherto...
