Opis

Thinking Through Poetry is a work of and about literary criticism. It offers new readings of poems from the canon of British Romanticism and it narrates, enacts, and theorizes the arc of the scholarship on that field from the 1980s through the present.

Recenzje

It is always a wonder to get to read and think with Marjorie Levinson. And Thinking through Poetry is a big idea book. I was inspired by the ways the forms of the individual chapters increasingly experiment with the field theory of forms the book describes. ...Thinking through Poetry derives a new theoretical model for poetry and offers us a chance to think through poetry anew, with more rigorous attention to fields of differences and the ways poetry still matters.
