One of its aims is to cast further light on the critically neglected area of Chartist poetry, and to investigate the social, political, and aesthetic implications of poetry whose explicit function is that of propaganda or polemic. Aside from offering close analysis of many poems which have not been studied before, this thesis presents previously unlisted Jones poems and, most importantly, a complete pseudonymous poetry collection. Study of original manuscripts has given significant insight into Jones’s process of poetic revision and some of his German-language poetry has been translated for the first time.\nMy research covers Jones’s first publications in conservative newspapers shortly after his arrival in Great Britain from the German Duchy of Holstein, his early Chartist period, his imprisonment, and his years as the effective leader of Chartism. Although the six chapters are in broadly chronological order, each addresses a conceptual or contextual theme. These are, consecutively: poetic influence; mythopoeia; poet/reader relationships; prison writing; epic poetry; and poetic revision.\nThemes recurring throughout the study include the political and literary implications of republication and revision; the relationship between poetry and politics in the early Victorian period; the figure of the ‘gentleman radical’ and his relationship with his readership; the influence of Romantic legacies on mid-nineteenth-century radical poetics; links between Chartist and Irish Nationalist poetry; and intersections between radical and conservative imaginative conceptions of the past. Close analysis of the poetry is consistently related to its historical, political and cultural circumstances – the declarative and socially-engaged nature of Chartist poetry demands it be studied alongside its extra-literary contexts. What emerges from this study is a new version of Ernest Jones, a political poet whose exceptional complexity is here mapped for the first time in its fullness.\nContents\nAbbreviations .………………………………………………………….8\nIntroduction .…………………………………………………………...9\nA Biographical Sketch ……………………………………………………………...11\nA Brief Survey of Sources ………………………………………………………….16\nChartism and P","cbCaipEljdKY4fic","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipEljdKY4fic","docx",479753,330,"English","# Acknowledgements\n# Abstract\n# Contents\n## Abbreviations\n## Introduction\n## A Biographical Sketch\n## A Brief Survey of Sources\n## Chartism and Poetry\n## Structural Overview\n## Chapter One - Influences and Early Poetry (1840-5)\n## Chapter Two - Jones and Myth (1846-8)\n## Chapter Three - The ‘Mighty Mind’ (1846-8)\n## Chapter Four - Lyrical Prison Poetry (1848-50)\n## Chapter Five - The New World, A Democratic Poem (1851)\n## Chapter Six - Pseudonymity, Revision, Songs of the Low and High (1851-60)","[{\"question\":\"What time period and poet does the thesis focus on?\",\"answer\":\"The thesis focuses on Ernest Charles Jones’s poetry from 1840 to 1860 and studies works by Ernest Charles Jones (1819-69).\"},{\"question\":\"Which aspect of Chartist poetry does the thesis aim to clarify?\",\"answer\":\"It aims to shed further light on the critically neglected area of Chartist poetry and on poetry whose explicit function is propaganda or polemic.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the thesis treat Jones’s manuscripts and German-language material?\",\"answer\":\"Study of original manuscripts provides insight into Jones’s poetic revision process, and some of his German-language poetry is translated for the first time.\"}]","The Poetry of Ernest Jones: Myth, Song, and the ‘Mighty Mind’ | DOCX",1788279666,115]
