Ends of the Lyric: Direction and Consequence in Western Poetry - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explores the formal, structural, and semantic domains of how poems end, the questions of goals and actions, and the direction by which poems get to the end and in which the end leads. Considers poems by Shakespeare, Leopardi, Coleridge, Keats, H÷lderlin, Baudelaire, Wallace Stevens, and Celan. Finds that the most interesting endings direct the reader to language and thought that is necessarily beyond the poem itself and the act of reading it. Most of the non-English excerpts include translations. Earlier versions of some chapters have been published in academic journals. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
