This topic has been the subject of debate among scholars, poets, and critics for centuries, and continues to be a notoriously thorny issue today. This book traces this subject, for the first time. In an effort to define the mysterious and attractive power of poetic discourse, the author undertakes a comparative evaluative exposition of successive attempts to explain the phenomenon. He presents these attempts chronologically, and then distills crucial and therefore recurrent themes. Underlying them all is the intractable nature of poetry's verbal substance." from the jacket flap. Not Price Clipped. Pristine, no wear.
