13. Disfiguration and Desire: The Erotic Historiography of Hope Mirrlees's Paris: A Poem.

Abstract

This article reads Hope Mirrlees's Paris: A Poem as an epic—that is, as "a poem including history" to use Pound's formulation—that reconfigures the act of including history as a particularly erotic one. Through certain rhetorical figures such as metaphor and pun, Mirrlees stages the most urgent questions of her historical moment in terms of paradox: the drawing together of that which maintains an unresolvable difference. The imagination's attempt to reach across an unbridgeable gap figures the restless reach of desire in the poem. This poetico-historical project has specific socio-political implications. Paradox's force emerges from its ability to keep the mind in motion; Mirrlees wields this power to create an erotic historiography that resists consigning the events of the "just now" to the "stillness" of the past. In this way, Mirrlees's poem offers neither a neat story of Paris's history, nor an easily-consumed portrait of life in Paris in the spring of 1919. Rather, predicated on the rhetorical as opposed to the merely referential, Paris reveals that historical occurrences—including historical tropes of women—are always necessarily constructed figuratively, marking at once the limits of recording history and the poem's means of (and grounds for) historical critique.
