Kern suggests
that the modernist vision of Chinese as "a script which overcomes
the mediation of alphabetical writing" is part of a larger
Emersonian quest for an Adamic language, for "greater access to the
being of the world [. Turning to poet-physicians, Sorsby shows that while Francois
Beroalde de Verville presents the Creation as an alchemical
transmutation, Joseph du Chesne vilifies the substance of the body by
expounding on its corruption after the Adamic Fall. Ahab and Emerson attempt to transform an otherwise
inscrutable whale o r object into "Moby Dick"--a detached and
bounded projection of the Poet's Adamic art. |
