Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

IN the devastating closing stanza of ‘The Cast-Away’, which compares the poet’s spiritual despair with the plight of a drowning mariner (and to the mariner’s advantage), ‘No voice divine the storm allay’d, | No light propitious shone’. Attention to the poem’s intertextual dimension has focused on Richard Walter’s account of a seaman helplessly ‘canted over-board’ in A Voyage Round the World…by George Anson, Esq. (1748), which Cowper may have read decades earlier.1 For the lines quoted above from the poem’s conclusion, which makes explicit the application to Cowper’s own predicament, more than one commentator has noted an allusion to the stilling of the storm narrated in Matthew 8:23–6, and/or to related biblical texts (Mark 4:39; Psalms 117:29).2 Yet Cowper’s is a storm that nothing stills, and he emphasizes the point with a further allusion, this time to William Falconer’s immensely popular, though now largely forgotten, narrative poem The Shipwreck (1762). As Janet Sorensen has recently observed of The Shipwreck’s international currency well into the nineteenth century, Falconer’s poem ‘went through over 100 editions … and was anthologized alongside poetry of Milton and Pope in collections of “great English poets” ’. It draws on the author’s personal experience of surviving a maritime disaster in which most of his crewmates drowned, and mixes sublime diction with sentimental techniques ‘To wake to sympathy the feeling heart’.3

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
