Recenzje

The central thrust of this erudite book is the meaning of words—the use of poetic figures and prosody. Williams's extensive knowledge of languages and how language works in poetry is apparent throughout the book...Valuable for scholars of poetry, philology, critical theory, and linguistics. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
