Description
The appeal of poetry lies in its relationship with public space. In 19th-century France, poets navigated the tension between their private intentions and the public nature of their material inscriptions. Poetry's Appeal explores how this disjunction allows poets to critique symbols used in ideological warfare. By naturalizing linguistic structures through lyric form, poems can reveal the artificiality of these structures as inscriptions, subverting the ideologies they supposedly support. This book examines the productive power of poetry in its use of marks, letters, and pages to posit meaning and challenge dominant discourses.
