Literary studies: poetry & poets

Hardback. Argues that the individual in a lyric is only a virtual entity and that lyric poetry takes its power from the public, emotional power of language itself. This work proposes that lyric poetry is a public discourse rooted in the mother tongue. It demonstrates the ways that the lyric "I" speaks, from first to last, as a creation of poetic language. Num Pages: 232 pages, 1 halftone. BIC Classification: DSC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 168 x 235 x 22. Weight in Grams: 470.
