the difference between author and speaker

There can be important differences between the voice speaking in a poem and the author, at times authors have even used a female voice, though they are male, or they take on various characteristics for the purpose of the poem that are completely outside those of the author. The most difficult thing in intuiting the speaker and the differences between the speaker and the author can be that the author does not always explicitly discuss the speaker in order to give the reader all the information they need. Sometimes it is incumbent on the reader to figure out the speaker.

Poetry

“Poetry,” a poem Marianne Moore reworked several times, states her aesthetic beliefs. The poem is best known for the shocking first line, in which Moore states that she dislikes poetry. The remaining two lines of the 1967 version present some problems because she does not exemplify the word “genuine” after stating that there is “a place for the genuine” in poetry. In the original version, however, Moore illustrates precisely what poetry she repudiates and what poetry she admires.

Genre

Genre is any category of literature, music, or other forms of art or entertainment, whether written or spoken, audio or visual, based on some set of stylistic criteria. Genres form by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones is discontinued. Often, works fit into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions.

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Johan Ibsen was a major 19th-century Norwegian playwright, theatre director, and poet. He is often referred to as "the father of realism" and is one of the founders of Modernism in theatre. His major works include Brand, Peer Gynt, An Enemy of the People, Emperor and Galilean, A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, Ghosts, The Wild Duck, Rosmersholm, and The Master Builder. He is the most frequently performed dramatist in the world after Shakespeare, and A Doll's House became the world's most performed play by the early 20th century.
