Literary studies: poetry & poets

Paperback. There is something offensive about poetry, judging by the number of attacks on it and defences of it. The author argues that poetry exists to offend - not through its subject matter but through the challenges it presents to the prevailing view of what language is for. He also specifies four poetic offences - gesture, drama, fiction, and trope. Series: Robert B Heilman Books. BIC Classification: DSC. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 154 x 232 x 20. Weight in Grams: 384.
