Book Description
The book is stylish, alert, and lucid. It takes the reader on a journey of discovery into the nature and history of poetry as it looks at poetic form in an array of poems from Old English to the present, including dramatic poetry such as Marlowe, Shakespeare, and Yeats. It has useful suggestions for further reading in endnotes and at the end of its introduction and eight chapters. It is assured and authoritative, even polemical in places, and will appeal to and excite discussion among undergraduates, postgraduates, academics, and lovers of poetry.
About the Author
Michael D. Hurley combines a wide and interdisciplinary record of publishing in poetry and poetics with considerable experience as a teacher of close reading and practical criticism at Cambridge. His work is marked by an ambition to explore the relationship between what literature makes us feel and how it makes us think. His recent book on G. K. Chesterton was praised by one critic for being 'striking in the precision of its formal analysis and the elegance of its prose'.
Michael O'Neill is a well-known critic of poetry whose writings include monographs on Shelley (1989), Romanticism and the self-conscious poem (1997) and the twentieth- and twenty-first century literary legacies of Romantic poetry (2007). He edited the Cambridge History of English Poetry (2010) and a much-praised anthology of Romantic poetry with detailed comments on poetic form (2008). He has published two collections of poems and received a Cholmondeley Award for Poets in 1990. His work has been celebrated by many critics for its sensitivity to poetry and its ability to find an answerable language for poetic effects.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Michael D. Hurley and Michael O'Neill offer a perceptive and illuminating look into poetic form, a topic that has come back into prominence in recent years. Building on this renewed interest in form, Hurley and O'Neill provide an accessible and comprehensive introduction that will be of help to undergraduates and more advanced readers of poetry alike. The book sees form as neither ornamenting nor mimicking content, but as shaping and animating it, encouraging readers to cultivate techniques to read poems as poems. Lively and wide-ranging, engaging with poems as aesthetic experiences, the book includes a long chapter on the elements of form that throws new light on troubling terms such as rhythm and metre, as well as a detailed introduction and accessible, stimulating chapters on lyric, the sonnet, elegy, soliloquy, dramatic monologue and ballad and narrative. This book takes the reader on a journey of discovery into the nature and history of poetry as it looks at poetic form in an array of poems from Old English to the present, including dramatic poetry such as Marlowe, Shakespeare and Yeats.
