Revised twice since it first appeared, it has remained one of the most widely read and quoted works of literary analysis. Ambiguity, according to Empson, includes "any verbal nuance, however slight, which gives room for alternative reactions to the same piece of language." From this definition, broad enough by his own admission sometimes to see "stretched absurdly far," he launches into a brilliant discussion, under seven classifications of differing complexity and depth, of such works, among others, as Shakespeare's plays and the poetry of Chaucer, Donne, Marvell, Pope, Wordsworth, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and T. S. Eliot.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. First New Directions Paperback 204, 1966. 7th printing. Ambiguously bright, clean & tight copy, unread & unmarked, in Very Good condition. "First published in 1930, SEVEN TYPES OF AMBIGUITY has long been recognized as a landmark in the history of English literary criticism. Revised twice since it first appeared, it has remained one of the most widely read and quoted works of literary analysis. Ambiguity, according to Empson, includes 'any verbal nuance, however slight, which gives room for alternative reactions to the same piece of language.' From this definition, broad enough by his own admission sometimes to seem 'stretched absurdly far,' he launches into a brilliant discussion, under seven classifications of differing complexity and depth, of such works, among others, as Shakespeare's plays and the poetry of Chaucer, Donne, Marvell, Pope, Wordsworth, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and T. S. Eliot. His investigations lead the reader not only to further understanding of specific poets and poems but also to a greater grasp of the English language itself and to a deeper appreciation of what is involved in the creative process. The book is indispensable to the student and to the general reader seeking insight into the nature of literature." [publisher's copy] My copy dates from the 70s & shows very slight shelfwear but no tears or blemishes; slightly-yellowed cover & brilliant pages have sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine; all quite presentable.
