【简介】
■ What is a villanelle?
■ Can poetry still have public function?
■ What is the tension between form and lyric content in Bruce Springsteen's 'Born in the USA'?
Studying Poetry is an intuitive and erudite guide to reading and understanding poetry, illustrated with a diverse range of examples from the great classics, including Milton, Shelley, Yeats and Plath, to contemporary poetry from Paul Muldoon to Bob Dylan.
The book shows how to develop the skills of close reading and develops awareness of the context of poetry. It is divided into three parts. The first provides a lively and acces-sible introduction to form and meaning, illustrated with copious examples. The second explores critical approaches to poetry including a discussion of the relationship between author and poem, and reader and poem. In the third part, the authors examine the context of poetry-how does it reflect the political and cultural milieu in which it is written and what is its social importance?
Studying Poetry is an essential introduction for literature students but it will also be indispensable to lovers of poetry seeking to enrich their appreciation.
