The first study of poetic language from a historical and philosophical perspective In a series of 12 chapters, exemplary poems – by Walter Ralegh, John Milton, William Cowper, William Wordsworth, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Wallace Stevens, Ezra Pound, Frank O’Hara, Robert Creeley, W. S. Graham, Tom Raworth, Denise Riley and Thomas A. Clark – are read alongside theoretical discussions of poetic language.The discussions provide a jargon-free account of a wide range of historical and contemporary schools of thought about poetic language, and an organised, coherent critique of those schools (including analytical philosophy, cognitive poetics, structuralism and post-structuralism). Via close readings of poems from 1600 to the present readers are taken through a wide range of styles including modernist, experimental and innovative poetries. Paired chapters within a chronological structure allow lecturers and students to approach the material in a variety of ways (by individual chapters, paired historical periods) that are appropriate to different courses.Key Features: Surveys a variety of linguistic and philosophical approaches to poetic language: analytical, cognitive, post-structuralist, pragmatic Provides readings of complete poems and places those readings within the wider context of each poet’s work Combines theory and practice Includes a Glossary, Notes on Poets and Suggested Further Reading
