Excerpt from Reading Poems: An Introduction to Critical Study
The editors have made no effort to provide a critical text of thepoems, but have proceeded upon the principle of making them as 'available' as possible for the ordinary reader. For this reason Spelling has been modernized and Americanized except in a few cases where old Spelling or dialect forms are required for the full experience of the poem. Thus Milton, Spenser, Drayton, Burns, and the old ballads are based upon standard critical editions.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a guide to the practice of reading poetry, intended for both students and seasoned readers. It takes a unique approach, focusing on the specific poems themselves rather than abstract theories of the poetic form. The author believes that by engaging with poetry directly, readers can cultivate the skills needed for intelligent interpretation and appreciation. The book features a carefully curated selection of poems, ranging from simple lyrics to complex works like T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land." The author's aim is to equip readers with the tools to navigate these diverse forms and understand the rich tapestry of emotions, ideas, and techniques they employ. The poems are grouped into thematic categories, such as lyrical poems, sonnets, and narrative poems, and the author provides detailed notes and commentary to guide readers through the nuances of each work. The book's selection of poems and the author's approach to reading them highlight a crucial shift in literary criticism. During the first half of the twentieth century, a new wave of thinkers, including the author's own influences like I.A. Richards and T.S. Eliot, challenged traditional notions of literary analysis. They emphasized the importance of close reading and the need to understand a poem's internal logic and structure. The book's insights on reading poetry stand as a testament to the enduring power of the written word and the essential skills needed to unlock its mysteries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
