Magical Deviation in E.E.Cummings′ Poetry

The thesis focuses on the linguistic and stylistic analysis of language deviation employed in E.E.Cummings' poetry,which shows a sort of unique experiment and eccentric reform of American literature in the 20th century.The author places emphasis on the particular techniques of semantic,grammatical,lexical and graphological deviations skillfully designed by E.E.Cummings,through which his verses are foregrounded and produce strong visual impression upon the reader.The deviated expressions and structure in his poetry reveal strong love,interior happiness,pains,special sense of humor and penetrating satire.As his deviated verses contain various kinds of possible meanings,the reader is given enormous space of imagination so as to excavate out new meaning in the creation of a poetic discourse.In the end the author,while exclaiming Cummings' magical techniques of language deviation with admiration,also expresses disapproval of some extremely odd and playful forms and expressions in his poetry.
