Yu, Jie-Ae. “Unfolding Perceptions of Exile, Loss, and Spiritual Reinforcement in The Seafarer.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 37.1 (2011): 89-105. The main purpose of this paper is to examine how The Seafarer, an Old English elegiac poem, embodies the speaker’s contemplations on the repercussion of his mournful experiences caused by exile and bereavement during his sea journey. The article also investigates how he turns to procreate a vibrant reaction to these morbid occurrences at the present time. Numerous textual evidences reveal his unswerving eagerness for overcoming the grief-stricken circumstances with wise acceptance. In this sense, the poem features a symbolic journey of the Seafarer, which connects with a mental procedure of undertaking his hardships taken from the separation from his comrades and the loss of his previous rest and glory. In spite of this distinctive elegiac motif, other textual instances, simultaneously, demonstrate the speaker’s vigorous response to such depressing mood. He expands his distressful view of the vicissitudes of the world into a dynamic, firm belief in the religious realm of permanence, hence regenerating his spiritual vitality and reinforcement.
