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.

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.
