Sinopsis
Unlock how poetry moves us: learn the tools writers use to express passion and imagination.
This edition distills Beeching’s exploration of how poets convey feeling and vision through language. It looks at why metre matters, how rhythm shapes mood, and how poets “paint to the imagination” by summoning pictures with a single, powerful image. Drawing on whether Shakespeare, Milton, or Tennyson achieves the moment, the lectures illuminate the craft behind enduring lines and the choices poets make to move readers.
- Understand the link between emotion, form, and meaning in poetry
- See how metre and rhythm elevate speech into art
- Learn how imagery and comparison create quick, vivid pictures
- Explore examples that show revision, precision, and the craft of expression
Ideal for readers seeking a clear, practical look at how poetry works, from its core ideas to its best techniques.

Excerpt from Two Lectures Introductory to the Study of Poetry
That is no doubt an extreme case, but it is all the more useful as an illustration. It helps us to realize how potent a faculty is the endow ment of the dramatist, which can pierce through human appearance to its essential qualities. Can conceive by a sure instinct how, in given circum stances, the given character must act, and can represent it to us, because it is vivid to him, in all the verisimilitude of essential detail. Such imagination is plainly one large and special side of the faculty of seeing things out of their commonplace associations. As a branch of the same head would rank the still rarer power of conceiving types of character, that for certain reasons have no actual existence in the world we know, such types as Shakespeare's Ariel and Caliban and Puck.

Excerpt from Two Lectures Introductory to the Study of Poetry
We may presume that by his first epithet Milton intended that simplicity which is another name for sincerity. 'He meant that a poet must look at the world frankly and with open eyes; with the spirit, though with more than the wisdom, of a child.) We sometimes express another side of the same truth by saying that poetry is "universal," meaning that it cares nothing for superficial and transient fashions, but is interested only "in man, in nature, and in human life," in their permanent elements. This first epithet seems to fix beyond dispute an indispensable quality of all poetry. If a writer is insincere, or if he is conventional and fashionable, we are sure, whatever his airs and graces, that he is no poet. By "sensuous" it is probable that Milton meant what, in more technical language, we should describe as "concrete."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a scholarly examination of poetry from the perspective of two of its defining characteristics: passion and the use of imagination. The author rejects the idea of a definitive definition for poetry, proposing instead that the most helpful definitions are either grounded in the opinions of critics or the insights of poets. The author then embarks on an exploration of how poetry differs from prose and other forms of writing, arguing that its essence lies in its passionate expression delivered through imaginative language. The author further highlights how this imaginative language can take many forms including allegory, simile, and metaphor. Ultimately, the book offers profound insights into what poetry is, how it works, and what its purpose is, equipping any reader -casual or dedicated poetry enthusiast alike- with the tools to appreciate it on a deeper level. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330859773_0
