This paper discusses the elusiveness in Percy Bysshe Shelley's "To a Skylark." In many of his works Shelley tends to seem unstable when it comes to poetic structure and thematic consistency. This unstability makes Shelley's poetry difficult to understand, and his poetry has been criticized for its elusiveness. Especially to New Critics Shelley's elusiveness was one of the most critical flaws, and because of this fault New Critics regarded his poetry as even worthless. This paper starts with the question, "Is his elusiveness really a big mistake?" With that question this paper reads "To a Skylark" from non-traditional point of view and seeks significant messages in the text. The aim of this paper is to suggest new perspectives to read Shelley's works.
In the first half of the poem Shelley shows how the speaker fails to describe the skylark properly. The narrator is only able to name many different signifiers to represent the real entity of the skylark, that is the signified. No signifier can completely represent any signified. That's the limit of language, and that's why human being is isolated from his own language. By showing narrator's failure in representing the bird, Shelley proves that the elusiveness is inevitable in any text.
In the second half Shelley entreats the skylark to teach its own language. He needs a new language to cope with the limit of traditional language. Shelley believes that language creates idea(speech creates thought). The fact that he needs a new language means that he needs a new perspective. His elusiveness, as a new perspective, subverts tyrannical authorities based upon traditional binary opposition.
Shelley's elusiveness provides his text with an infinite space where countless new meanings can be created. Shelley's elusiveness means that the text is not the author's any more. By leaving his text elusive Shelley opens it and welcomes readers' free interpretations. His text has not concluded the meaning of the text yet. "To a Skylark" is still in the process of creation and keeps generating new meanings. Shelley's elusiveness is no longer a critical flaw in his text. With the elusiveness in his text Shelley foreshadows the modern scientific perspectives as well as indeterminacy of 20th century literary (and philosophical) theory.
