Opis

Making and Seeing Modern Texts explores the poetics of texts through a close reading and analysis across the genres of poetry, drama, fiction, non-fiction travel literature, and theory. This volume demonstrates that prose, as much as poetry, share the making and seeing of language, literary practice, and theory.
