Description

Poetry as Discourse explores language and its role in shaping our understanding of poetry. This study examines key concepts in literary theory and applies them to various forms of English poetry, including iambic pentameter, ballads, and the works of major poets such as Shakespeare, Pope, and Wordsworth.

Through a detailed analysis of specific poems, including Shakespeare's Sonnet 73, Pope's The Rape of the Lock, and Wordworth's Tintern Abbey, Easthope sheds light on the ways in which poetry reflects and shapes our understanding of the world. The book also considers the impact of modernism on poetry, with a focus on the works of T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound.

This volume is part of a series that seeks to encourage new perspectives on literature and its study, rather than resisting change. As such, it offers a thought-provoking exploration of the role of poetry in contemporary society.
