Literary studies: poetry & poets

In a fresh reading of Gulliver's Travels and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Atkins draws parallels between the protagonists: both Lemuel Gulliver and Stephen Dedalus flee from the burdens of life, seeking a transcendent existence.

Hardcover. Here, G. Douglas Atkins offers a fresh new reading of the past century's most famous poem in English, T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land (1922).

Hardcover. By reading T.S. Eliot literally and laterally, and attending to his intra-textuality, G. Douglas Atkins challenges the familiar notion of Eliot as bent on escaping this world for the spiritual. This study culminates in the necessary, but seemingly impossible, union of reading and writing, literature and commentary. Num Pages: 80 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: 2AB; DSBH; DSC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 223 x 163 x 12. Weight in Grams: 248.

Hardback. Though many recent poets insist on their poetry's "musical" qualities, few offer linguistically satisfying explanations of that "music." This book helps to fill that gap. It is a linguistically based study of rhythmic structures, and of the nature of rhythm, in the free verse of T.S. Eliot, Robert Lowell, and James Wright. Num Pages: 256 pages, notes, glossary, bibiography, index. BIC Classification: 2AB; CFG; DSC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate.

Hardback. More radically than had any contemporary English author's work, Thomas Gray's two Pindaric odes of 1757, effectively challenged readers' powers of comprehension, posing problems of reference as well as distinctly Pindaric problems of coherence.
