Musing on how zeroone 🔺 might make us rethink the Decadent movement, a la Harold Bloom's Anxiety of Influence & #apophrades (when a precursor is altered by subsequent creation). Pt. 2 on Avant Garde comes out tomorrow in The Brooklyn Rail ... brooklynrail.org/2024/03/art-te…

apophrades

'Apophrades' speaks to the concept of the return of the dead. Authors acknowledge and respect the influence of their predecessors, gracefully accepting it while embarking on their own literary journey. The dead speak in our voices, signalling a belated poet's triumph.

Brendan Hodges In Harold Bloom’s anxiety of influence, art of this kind is the completion of the final revisionary ratio: apophrades where the precursor’s work (or life in this case) seems to be stemming from the later work.

According to Harold Bloom, apophrades, the last of the revisionary ratios, occurs when a later poet opens themselves up to the influence of a precursor, only to have the uncanny effect that the precursor's poem seems to be derivative of the later poet's work.

Goes
With the one
Who risks it
All
To become

Sun.
Only nothing
Is forever
And takes
As long
To unlive
The damage
Built upon.

We're so proud that 'Influence: 50 Years On' is supported by British Association for Romantic Studies, whose promotion of Romantic studies is central to so much of the research we'll be presenting in September.🍂
Our panels 'Clinamen' and 'Apophrades' will be of interest for Romanticists—see our profile!

Cinamen

Tessera

Kenosis

Dehumanization

Ascesis

Apophrades

Jeffrey Gross Bloom called it apophrades.

and our other four panels are as already announced:

📌 'Clinamen: Poetic Misprision in the Long Eighteenth Century', chair Prof Fiona Stafford (Oxford)

📌 'Apophrades: Afterlives of Antiquity', chair Prof Colin Burrow (Oxford)

Apophrades, or the return of the dead, the sixth of Harold Bloom’s revisionary ratios, posits a scenario whereby the work of the precursor seems uncannily derivative of the work of the later poet.

2: 'Apophrades: Classical Afterlives', chaired by Prof Colin Burrow (Oxford)

With papers by Dr Rebecca Menmuir (QMUL) and Ben Nagy (Institute of Polish Language), Rebecca Marks (Cambridge) - and third speaker TBA! Ooh - on (maybe) Ovid's 'Nux', Blake, and the Belvedere Torso

I have a theory that Bloom is envious of God for writing the greatest poem of all time. His anxiety is the anxiety of divine influence. Literary Criticism is his Apophrades, addressed to YHWH. To be a creature is to be a lesser poet standing in the divine shadow.

4.Apophrades: The poet deliberately allows the predecessor's influence in the poem, which creates the impression that the predecessor's work seems derivative of the later poet's work.

Looking at these, it's pretty obvious they apply well beyond poetry.

Sanford May Don Kong One of his 'revisionary ratios' he explores in The Anxiety of Influence, Apophrades, says something similar but would require Milton being superior to Shakespeare, which Bloom would take as apostasy of the highest order.
