- Summary
- Edward Estlin Cummings was an American poet, novelist, playwright and essayist. He was a graduate of Harvard University (B.A. 1915, M.A. 1916). Le Baron Russell Briggs (1855-1934) was a professor, dean, and college president at Harvard University. E.E. Cummings submitted this unpublished academic essay, "Remarks Occassioned [sic] by Poetry" for a course he took at Harvard with Le Baron Russell Briggs, History and Principles of English Versification ("English 16"). Cummings places his literary analysis in the context of an entertaining conversation with a spirit, the discussion ranging from Beowulf to the modernists of his own time. Aside from the notation of a spelling error in the title, emendations appear to be made by Cummings. The designation "1G" after Cummings's name identifies him as a first-year student in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
