Abstract

Might convivial form be achieved, simply, with a generous (quantity of) space? Under what conditions, if any, might large volumes be more convivial than small ones? This paper explores the possibilities of spacious conviviality under European modernity. To do so, it considers a few sub-heroic anglophone long poems from the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, drawing on Canadian poet and critic Lisa Roberton’s notion of ‘commodiousness’ to ask: what convivial accommodations might be found or made in works that substitute for sublimity’s powerful absolutes the uneven, unreliable inflations of convivial space?
