S. Graham, Tom Raworth, Denise Riley and Thomas A. Clark - are read alongside theoretical discussions of poetic language.\u003cbr\u003eThe discussions provide a jargon-free 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 post-structuralism).

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.\u003cbr\u003eKey Features: \u003cbr\u003eSurveys a variety of linguistic and philosophical approaches to poetic language: analytical, cognitive, post-structuralist, pragmatic \u003cbr\u003eProvides readings of complete poems and places those readings within the wider context of each poet's work \u003cbr\u003eCombines theory and practice \u003cbr\u003eIncludes a Glossary, Notes on Poets and Suggested Further Reading\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47596865257623,"sku":"9780748656165","price":3742.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780748656165.webp?v=1774995418","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/poetic-language-theory-and-practice-from-the-renaissance-to-the-present-9780748656165","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
