Realism and Form in Hughes's Poetry

As a rubric, realism has been subject to heated debate and casual dismissal in the history of American criticism. “American realism virtually has no school; its most dominating and influential advocate, William Dean Howells, often seems to ride along in a strange vacuum, nearly unheeded in his continual insistence on the proprieties of the everyday, stable characterization, and moral certainty, while almost every other important author of the period simply refused, on these terms, to become a realist.” Whereas in Europe the great period of realism occurred throughout the second half of the nineteenth century, in North America the movement emerged in full force only with Howells's advocacy in the nineties.

Partly in response to Erich Auerbach's Mimesis, theoretical descriptions of realism in modern American fiction have proliferated in recent decades. Yet little sustained, systematic analysis has been done on the formal development of realism in the modern lyric. Such neglect may be explained in part by the fact that the realist movement was long excluded from accounts of twentieth-century American poetry, because it was considered formally without interest—a servile, transparent copying of the world. The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics, for example, defines realism solely in contradistinction to the intensified perception, densely metaphorical style, and artificiality of the lyric and adds that, “in a general sense, realistic poetry may result from any down-to-earth opposition to what seem artificial rules of versification or arbitrary restrictions on matter or diction…. The precepts of realism are often considered inimical to the spirit of lyric poetry.”

Both books deal with the condition of black people living in racist environments and how they maneuver their way through disguises to create spaces for themselves. The title, No Crystal Stair was taken from Langston Hughes' famous poem:

“Life for me ain't been no crystal stair. It had tacks in it and splinters, and boards torn up and places with no carpet on the floor-bare. But all the time I'se been a climbin' on. And reachin' landin' and turnin' corners and sometimes goin' in the dark where there ain't been no light. So don't turn back. Don't you set down on the ...
