Poetic Language : Theory and Practice from the Renaissance to the Present

This monograph presents a thesis about poetic language in English-language poetry from Britain and the US across several long historical periods usually considered as discrete specialisms (from 1600 to the present), and into poetic theory in English and French across the same periods. The book also works with an unusually wide range of distinctive approaches in contemporary poetics, from cognitive poetics to analytical philosophy to post-structuralist theory. Producing a work of synthetic argument across such a wide chronological and methodological range of materials required extensive research over a period of seven years.
