Insect or affect? : John Ashbery's ‘Daffy Duck in Hollywood’, the dramatic monologue, and lyric theory

Powell, Eric Tyler (avtor)

This article reads John Ashbery’s poem ‘Daffy Duck in Hollywood’ in relation to theories of the dramatic monologue and the lyric genre. I argue that the poem is meant to make the New Critical model of lyric reading, in which all lyric poems are read as dramatic monologues, self-destruct. I then use the poem to reconsider recent attempts, prominently that of Jonathan Culler, to define lyric poetry in opposition to narrative and the dramatic monologue.
