Description
The Invention of Evening Perception and Time in Romantic Poetry by Christopher R. Miller Romantic poets were fascinated by one time above all others: evening, the threshold between day and night. This fascination is the subject of a fresh and insightful study by Christopher R. Miller, which explores the cultural background of this development. Miller examines the tradition of evening poetry, tracing its roots from ancient to modern times, and shows how poets used evening settings to represent the passage of time and associate it with subtle movements of thought and perception. This book offers new ways of reading canonical Romantic poems and thinking about the kinds of themes the lyric can express.
