From a short lyric to a complex novel, follow Reuben Browers lead through the attentive readers fields of light.In this classic study, Harvard professor Reuben Brower guides the reader from noticing the alluring details of a wellmade poem, novel, or play to attending to the encompassing ways in which the writing achieves its greatness.Part One: THE DISCOVERY OF DESIGNI. The Speaking Voice (Dramatic Design)II. The Aura Around a Bright Clear Centre (Design in Imagery)III. Saying One Thing and Meaning Another (Design in Metaphor and Irony)IV. The Figure of Sound (Design in Sound)V. The Sinewie Thread (Key Designs)Part Two: IN LARGE LETTERSVI. The Mirror of Analogy The TempestVII. Something Central Which Permeated: Virginia Woolf and Mrs. DallowayVIII. The Groves of Eden: Design in a Satire by PopeIX. Light and Bright and Sparkling: Irony and Fiction in Pride and PrejudiceX. The Twilight of the Double Vision: Symbol and Irony in A Passage to IndiaXI. The Flower of Light: Integrity of ImaginationNot only does Brower begin his book with a lyric, but he deliberately chooses a very short one indeed, as if to show how much can be said about the smallest of poetic figures looked at closely. The poem is The Sick Rose, one of William Blakes bestknown songs of experience?Browers task is to show how the poem is imaginatively organized, by which he means that, to read it, we must sense the extraordinary interconnectedness among a relatively large number of different items of experience. From the Foreword by William H. PritchardReuben Arthur Brower (19081975) was a professor of classics and English at Amherst College before he moved to Harvard University, where he became Cabot Professor of English. He is perhaps best (and most fondly) remembered for a course he created at Harvard, Humanites 6: Interpretation of Literature, known familiarly to students as Hum 6.
