T1 Mercian Hymns: mito, historia y lengua
A1 Acosta Aide, Santiago
AB Geoffrey Hill's concern with history has to do with myth and language.Mercian Hymns, the most compressed and enigmatic book by Hill, showsthe three elements working in their mutual implications. Should thiscorrelation be neglected, the Hymns become baffling to the reader. On suchgrounds, this essay analyzes the hymns in their historical dimension andreveals subsequently how hystory is fused with myth. The fusion of bothfactors conceals biographical implications, and language —by way ofanachronisms, etymological puns, allusiveness, juxtaposition, and fusion oflevels— contributes to stress the fluctuation among history, myth, andbiography.
