The Importance of Borgess Early Poetry in His Literary Career

Abstract

Jorge Luis Borges, a worldwide renowned literary master, left a profound legacy in the history of global literature with his brilliantly conceived works, extensive knowledge and advanced literary concepts. The worldwide trend of reading and studying Borges is still flourishing today. Among the vast amount of research, there are few studies on Borgess early poetry. In the process of exploring Borgess literary philosophy and personality, the investigation of his early poetry is crucial. This paper is divided into three main modules. The first section analyzes the uniqueness of early poetry through its temporal definition, preservation of emotion, and multiple purely physical elements. The second section explains that early poetry witnessed the emergence of literary concepts and archetypal imagery. The third section explores the dialecticism of passion and loneliness coexisting in early poetry and the function of early poetry in improving the portrait of the authors personality. In general, this paper analyzes the importance of Borgess early poetry in his entire literary career by sorting out two important clues: the important role of early poetry in the writers professional career and in enriching and completing the writers image and character.
