摘要
Ralph Waldo Emerson described the poet Jones Very as a telescope, the kind of intensely focused idealist who challenges the commitments of those he encounters. Very can be compared to Herman Melville's Bartleby as a test case that reveals the limits of nineteenth-century individualism and late romanticism.
