Review
Peter Robinson has done wonderful things with Searle's narrow categories. Modern Language Review Robinson's reading of poems...show subtlety, a wide and always appropriate range of reference, and an understated persuasiveness that makes this book a valuable contribution to the 'conflictual culture of negotiation and evolution'(p.108) that the author himself describes criticism to be. Modern Language Review Robinson's critical senses are fine-tuned ... this results in some bracing analyses of poems, and the ways of happening they embody ... His criticism insists on the really important questions to which only the best poety is equal. This is to reclaim for poetry the seriousness and centrality it demands.
