Subjectivity and the self-present voice -- Poetic authority and "interpassivity" -- Sounding the "real" -- Power, desire and poetics |
Summary |
Shelley's Music demonstrates that Shelley's desire to merge word, conventionally identified as masculine, with music and voice, conventionally identified as feminine, represents a fantasy designed to ensure the preservation of his authority by making his voice eternally present in his poetry. Recycling throughout his writing and characterized by deadlock and instability, Shelley's fantasy paradoxically supports an even more compelling desire to preserve his subjectivity and maintain his authority as poet |
