Robert Lowell. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Robert Lowell Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Il est, de 1940 à 1946, un catholique fervent. Sa foi influence fortement ses deux premiers ouvrages, Land of Unlikeness (1944) et Lord Weary's Castle (1946). Du fait de son opposition aux bombardements des populations civiles par les Alliés, il opte pour le statut d'objecteur de conscience au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Robert Lowell, qui fut hospitalisé environ vingt fois pour des troubles psychiatriques graves, subit régulièrement des électrochocs. Robert Lowell publie ensuite For the Union Dead, qui reçoit également un excellent accueil.

Robert Traill Spence "Cal" Lowell IV (March 1, 1917 – September 12, 1977) was an American poet. He was born into a Boston Brahmin family that could trace its origins back to the Mayflower.

His family, past and present, were important subjects in his poetry. Growing up in Boston also informed his poems, which were frequently set in Boston and the New England region.[1] Lowell stated, "The poets who most directly influenced me ... were Allen Tate, Elizabeth Bishop, and William Carlos Williams. An unlikely combination!..... After the publication of his 1959 book Life Studies, which won the 1960 National Book Award and "featured a new emphasis on intense, uninhibited discussion of personal, family, and psychological struggles," he was considered an important part of the confessional poetry movement.[3][4] However, much of Lowell's work, which often combined the public with the personal, did not conform to a typical "confessional poetry" model.
