ELEGY ÖRNEKLERİ

The first page of Dodsley‘s illustrated edition of Gray’s Elegy with illustration by Richard Bentley

In English literature, the more modern and restricted meaning, of a lament for a departed beloved or tragic event, has been current only since the sixteenth century; the broader concept was still employed by John Donne for his elegies, written in the early seventeenth century.

This looser concept is especially evident in the Old English Exeter Book (circa 1000 CE) which contains “serious meditative” and well-known poems such as “The Wanderer”, “The Seafarer”, and “The Wife’s Lament”. In these elegies, the narrators use the lyrical “I” to describe their own personal and mournful experiences.They tell the story of the individual rather than the collective lore of his or her people as epic poetry seeks to tell. For Samuel Taylor Coleridge and others, the term had come to mean “serious meditative poem”

Elegy nedir?

An elegy is a form of poetry natural to the reflective mind. It may treat any subject, but it must treat of no subject for itself, but always and exclusively with reference to the poet. As he will feel regret for the past or desire for the future, so sorrow and love became the principal themes of the elegy. Elegy presents everything as lost and gone or absent and future.
