Ababbcc : Auden et Byron sans rime ni raison
Declined in seven entries, corresponding to the seven lines (generally in iambic pentameters) of the rhyme royal, the paper deliberately aligns itself with the letter, and hopefully, with the spirit of W.H.

Declined in seven entries, corresponding to the seven lines (generally in iambic pentameters) of the rhyme royal, the paper deliberately aligns itself with the letter, and hopefully, with the spirit of W.H.

The aim of the paper is to delineate the contours of a poetics that is at once conversational, generational, autobiographical and falsely “easy”. Conceived as a “Condition of England” poem, Auden’s text openly flirts with the “universel reportage” denounced by Mallarmé, with a view to rehabilitating light verse, but also to purging poetry from undue hermetism, while appropriating Byron’s legacy.
