The Craft of Poetry: Dialogues on Minimal Interpretation
ISBN: 9781138850071 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book presents an innovative format for poetry criticism that its authors call "dialogical poetics." This approach shows that readings of poems, which in academic literary criticism often look like a product of settled knowledge, are in reality a continual negotiation between readers. But Derek Attridge and Henry Staten agree to rein in their own interpretive ingenuity and "minimally interpret" poems - reading them with careful regard for what the poem can be shown to actually say, in detail and as a whole, from opening to closure. Based on a series of emails, the book explores a... This book presents an innovative format for poetry criticism that its authors call "dialogical poetics."

The Rhythms of English Poetry
ISBN: 9780582551053 / Angielski / Miękka / 1982 / 410 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Examines the way in which poetry in English makes use of rhythm. The author argues that there are three major influences which determine the verse-forms used in any language: the natural rhythm of the spoken language itself; the properties of rhythmic form; and the metrical conventions which have grown up within the literary tradition. He investigates these in order to explain the forms of English verse, and to show how rhythm and metre work as an essential part of the reader's experience of poetry.
