Book Description

Publication Date: April 1 2000 | Series: Studying...

This accessible and compact guide helps students to understand and appreciate poetry as a genre, to develop an informed and articulate response to individual poems, and to become aware of the larger concerns involved in reading poetry. The first part of the book, "Form and Meaning," deals with the formal characteristics of poetry, such as metaphor, symbol, image, meter, rhythm, and rhyme. The second section, "Critical Approaches," explores the relationship between reading poetry and key concepts in critical theory, focusing on the poem as an object, the idea of the author, and the role of the reader. In part three, "Interpreting Poetry," the discussion explores such issues as political poetry, the poem in history, and the limits of poetry. Studying Poetry refers to a wide range of poetry and poets and offers stimulating readings of individual poems.

Product Description

Review

Its great virtue lies in the amount of questions it raises. (The authors) enthusiasm, engagement and occasional knowingly facetious asides should appeal to, and enlighten, bright sixth-formers. They will also find the glossary of technical and theoretical terms very useful. The Times Educational Supplement Website (tes.co.uk)
