Understanding Poetry: Instructor's Manual

Harcourt College Pub.

The fourth edition of UNDERSTANDING POETRY is a re-inspection of poetry. Keeping it teachable and flexible, the material allows for full and innocent immersion as well as raising inductive questions to develop critical and analytical skills. Students will be led to understand poetry as a means of imaginatively extending their own experience and indeed, probing the possibilities of the self. This latest incarnation of the landmark text facilitates a thorough study of poetry.

Warren, Robert Penn.

A shaping joy;: Studies in the writer's craft

Harcourt, Brace. Jovanovich

Educator and critic Cleanth Brooks was born in Kentucky and educated at Vanderbilt, Tulane, and Oxford universities. From 1932 to 1947, he taught English at Louisiana State University and then moved on to Yale. At Yale, Brooks helped to articulate the principles of New Criticism, which dominated literary studies in the 1940s and 1950s. The New Criticism argued that the literary work was an organic, complex whole to be evaluated on its own terms, without reference to extraliterary concerns such as biography, authorial intention, or historical and social context. Brooks claimed that literature's powers are unique. In Brooks's view, what determines the force and specialness of literature is irony, created primarily through paradox and metaphor. While at Yale, Brooks co-edited the journal Southern Review with Robert Penn Warren. An outstanding and revered was his book Modern Rhetoric, a favorite of the writer.

Modern rhetoric

A classic that has been widely used by several generations, this book consists of detailed commentaries on ten famous English poems from the Elizabethan period to the present. Index.

Excerpt from Tragic Themes in Western Literature: Seven Essays by Bernard Knox, Maynard Mack, Chauncey B. Tinker, Henri Peyre, Richard B. Sewall, Konstantin Reichardt, Louis L. Martz; Edited With an IntroductionFor the general audience, this kind of book is certainly the most effective way of doing so. Such an audience can scarcely be expected to see the treatise written for the Specialist. Even the specialist, precisely because he is a specialist, can profit from this means of dramatizing the ultimate oneness of man. The literary specialist nowadays spends so much of his time considering Medieval Man or Renaissance Man or Modern Man, and so much time in viewing him as Greek or Italian or French-man, that it is invigorating for him to be forced outside the departmentalization which is, if the glory, also the weakness of the modern university.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
