Folk riddles, emblems, charms, and chants are a few of the
traditional forms examined by Andrew Welsh to discover the means by
which poetic language achieves its powerful effects. His book shows
how the roots of lyric are embodied in primitive verse forms, how
they are raised to higher powers in poetry from the Renaissance to
the twentieth century, and how an awareness of them can illuminate
our reading of the poetry of any age. Andrew Welsh is Associate
Professor of English at Rutgers University. Originally published in
1978. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
