Product Description
Product Description
How do we read a poem? How is reading a poem different from reading a novel or a newspaper? And in fact, what is a poem? Looking at poetry as a genre rather than at individual authors or periods, this introduction provides a comprehensive approach to studying poems. Beginning with the formal aspects of poetry (metre, rhythm, rhyme), the text proceeds to give an overview of the fundamental critical issues and theoretical approaches to reading poetry, before concluding with an examination of the relation between poetry and other media, for example, poetry as music, poetry and painting, and so on. Taking a hands-on approach, each chapter works through a chosen poem illustrating specific points, before broadening its discussion into wider literary issues. The text refers to a range of poetry - from Blake and Shelley to Larkin and Plath - and provides suggestions for further reading and a glossary of terms.
