Pope’s Poetry Superb, Says Series Lecture By ANNE CRAVEN Dr. Hoyt Trowbridge, profes sor of English in the latest of the University lecture series Tues day evening presented the mod ern type of criticism through a discussion of Pope. Dr. Trowbridge, who lectured on the subject “Pope and Recent Criticisms," told the audience in Chapman hall that “his poetry seems superb. He has something to say and says it simply.” How ever, he said, Pope is for more mature minds who are interested in a thing well done. Two Approacnes Dr. Trowbridge divided ap proach to writing into two class es, scholarship and criticism. Scholarship, he said, is detached, impartial, factual, and concerned with interpretation. Criticism should mediate between the liv ing writer and the public, edu cate the people and prepare them to understand the writer. The combination of these two, he said, present the best interests of poetry. But only extraordinary people can combine the two and most people cannot get above the scholarly approach. Crilie’s Theories Dr. Trowbridge also discussed three assumptions or theories of critics: the imagists who believe the great aim is accurate, pre cise, an'd definite descriptions and dislike abstractions; these inter ested in diction or language; and those interested in wit. He said that critics using these assumptions would not call Pope a true poet but that they seem to admire Pope even against the principles which they have set up. llliriiKtic niiri riuuuu Dr. Trowbridge praised the school of thought which has come out of the University of Chicago recently and which stresses the intrinsic rather than the extrin sic interpretation. The intrinsic treats separate ideas in a writing as part of a whole, and does not isolate or discuss them separate ly.
