The first study of poetic language from a historical and philosophical perspectiveIn 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 jargonfree 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 poststructuralism). 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, poststructuralist, pragmaticProvides readings of complete poems and places those readings within the wider context of each poet's workCombines theory and practiceIncludes a Glossary, Notes on Poets and Suggested Further Reading
