Look Round for Poetry

Untimely Romanticisms

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Poetry is dead. Poetry is all around us. Both are trite truisms that this book exploits and challenges. By placing tropes and figures common to Romantic and Post-Romantic poems in conjunction with contemporary discourse, Look Round for Poetry identifies poetry's untimely echoes in discourses not always read as poetry or not always read poetically.
