Abstract

Biçembilim edebi eserleri bazı dilbilimsel araçlar kullanarak analiz etme olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu nedenle, biçembilim ile edebi eleştiri arasında güçlü bir ilişki vardır ve bu ikisini bir araya getirmek edebiyat eleştirmenlerine edebi eserlerin yorumlanması sürecinde daha bilinçli olma imkanı tanır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma 20. yüzyıl İngiliz Edebiyatında iki önemli eseri biçembilim çalışmalarında atıfta bulunulan kavram ve kuramlar ışığında incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma ilk olarak, savaş sonrası İngiltere’de önemli bir yazar olan ve ulusal olarak da oldukça tutulan bir şair olan Philip Larkin tarafından kaleme alınan Ambulances (1961) adlı şiiri ele almaktadır. Şiiri incelerken, çalışmanın ana odak noktası Larkin’in eserlerinde tekrar eden karamsarlık, yazgıcılık ve ölüm gibi tema ve konular olacaktır. Mevcut çalışma, daha sonra Harold Pinter'in Victoria Station (1982) adlı oyununu inceleyecektir. Ödüllü bir İngiliz oyun yazarı ve senarist olan ve modern zamanların önemli bir İngiliz tiyatrocusu olarak kabul edilen Pinter pek çok oyun ve skeç kaleme almıştır. Eserlerinde çoğunlukla karmaşık ikircimler, matemli gizemler ve komik belirsizlikler yer almaktadır. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada da Pinter'in Victoria Station’daki üslup ve metin içi biçemi açık siyasi eleştirilerine odaklanılarak incelenecektir. Her iki analizde de, çalışmanın yöntemi Mick Short tarafından Lancaster Üniversitesinde (2005) çevrimiçi bir ders olarak da okutulan biçembilim araçlarını kullanmak üzere inşa edilecektir.

Stylistic analyses of Philip Larkin's Ambulances and Harold Pinter's Victoria Station

Abstract

Stylistics can be defined as analysing literary texts by employing some linguistic tools. Thus, there is a powerful relationship between stylistics and literary criticism and combining them while doing literary analysis helps literary critics to be more aware of the process of the interpretating literary texts. In this context, this study sets out to examine two significant works in 20th-century English literature within the framework of concepts and theories introduced in the studies of stylistics. The study first analyses Ambulances (1961) by Philip Larkin, a prominent author in post-war England and a nationally favourite poet. While doing so, it focuses on Larkin’s repeating themes and subjects, involving pessimism, death, and fatalism. Then, the present study examines Harold Pinter's Victoria Station (1982). An English playwright and eminent British dramatist who has won many awards, Pinter has written a lot of plays and dramatic sketches. In his plays, one can mostly see complex ambiguities, elegiac mysteries, and comic uncertainties. Therefore, this study is centred on Pinter's authorial and textual styles in Victoria Station by often referring to his explicitly political critiques. In both cases, the study employs Mick Short's stylistics toolkit, a methodology provided as an online course at Lancaster University (2005).
