Close Reading Thomas Gray's Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard | A Lecture

Since its first publication on February 15, 1751, Thomas Gray's "Elegy written in a Country Churchyard" has been endeared by readers. What's to account for the poem's enduring popularity? Partly its rootedness in literary tradition. I’ll begin this video lecture with an introduction to the poet’s life and times. Then, I’ll turn to a close reading of the poem itself, to reveal how Gray’s poem fuses an expansive breadth of literary knowledge with a highly sensitive lyrical intuition.
