Opis

Two literary criticism pieces that have shaped approaches to teaching poetry since the 1950s are now available in one volume with a new foreword. Providing a brilliantly detailed analysis of the workings of English poetry, this collection focuses on the technical workings of poetic language, examining devices such as meter and diction. These explorations use examples from poets including Wordsworth, Coleridge, Eliot, and Yeats.
