Description

The Lyric Theory Reader A Critical Anthology by Virginia Jackson and Yopie Prins is a comprehensive collection of essays on modern lyric poetry. Spanning over a century, this anthology represents a wide range of perspectives in Anglo-American literary criticism, offering insights into the diversity and energy of ongoing critical conversations about lyric poetry. Featuring ten sections that explore various approaches to lyric reading, including genre theory, historical models, New Criticism, structuralist and post-structuralist analysis, Frankfurt School approaches, phenomenologies, avant-garde anti-lyricism, and comparative lyric, this book provides a rich intellectual history of the theory of lyric reading. Designed for students, scholars, poets, and readers with an interest in poetics, The Lyric Theory Reader A Critical Anthology presents a valuable resource for understanding the complex and evolving nature of lyric poetry.
