الملخص الإنجليزي

This thesis is a comparative study between Lorca’s depiction of New York City in his Poet in New York and Wordsworth’s portrayal of London City in a few selected poems dealing with London.

It explores the differences and the similarities between the portrayals of the two cities by the two poets Adopting the techniques and methods of comparative literature and drawing upon the Romantic as well as Existentialist and Surrealist theories/Movements, the study explores the related poems of the two well-known poets through emphasizing the image of the city that each one presents.

The different poetic techniques, the societal, political and cultural dimensions each of the two poets explores in his poems are highlighted in an attempt to explain the similarities and the differences between the two poets’ treatment of the city he describes. For Wordsworth, London is a place of cultural, literary, and intellectual exchange. He is both fascinated and disenchanted by the city and so his portrayal reflects positive and negative qualities of what he perceives while wandering in the city at different times.

On the other hand, Lorca shows great aversion to the city he describes.

He is primarily concerned with the negative aspects he pictures about the city.

Nevertheless,the two poets show interest in the regional and universal features of the modern city.

Both writers concentrate on the past to reflect on the contemporary situation of the modem city they are describing.

They seek inspiration from the biblical, literary and cultural traditions in order toshed light on the present and to show how the life in a big city has deteriorated compared with their situation in the past.

While Wordsworth is interested in communal and natural life, Lorca proves to be an isolated and alienated poet away from the daily experiences of New Yorkers for most of the time he lived there.

He is critical and detached rather than participant and involved.
