초록

John Keats, throughout his short poetic career used the sonnet form. The sonnet, to Keats, is an appropriate form which, with its unresolved juxtaposition of contraries, questions the adequacy of symbols, and repudiates the fetishistic formalism which considers art-product as self-sufficient, sacrosanct object. In the sonnet “Bright Star,” which is considered as Keats’s last sonnet, life and death are equally valid and thus ambivalent alternatives. Instead of making an organized whole in which the form is symbolically reconciled with the content and the poem transcend history, Keats’s use of the sonnet form fashions the poetic self as liminal space and allegorically reflects his career-thinking in the context of the contemporary cultural milieus. His restless self-fashioning and experimenting with the limits of the identity on the sonnets made him thoroughly a poet of his own age.

Abstract

John Keats, throughout his short poetic career used the sonnet form. The sonnet, to Keats, is an appropriate form which, with its unresolved juxtaposition of contraries, questions the adequacy of symbols, and repudiates the fetishistic formalism which considers art-product as self-sufficient, sacrosanct object. In the sonnet “Bright Star,” which is considered as Keats’s last sonnet, life and death are equally valid and thus ambivalent alternatives. Instead of making an organized whole in which the form is symbolically reconciled with the content and the poem transcend history, Keats’s use of the sonnet form fashions the poetic self as liminal space and allegorically reflects his career-thinking in the context of the contemporary cultural milieus. His restless self-fashioning and experimenting with the limits of the identity on the sonnets made him thoroughly a poet of his own age.
