Treating the work of Sappho, Goethe, Blake, Holderlin, Verlaine,
George, Morike, and Yeats in detail, Benjamin Bennett makes the
provocative argument that the nature of lyric poetry in the West
has an element of defectiveness. The book sets out to prove that
using the idea of perfection, which is applied routinely as a
criterion of excellence in lyric poems, is fundamentally misguided.
Once poetry in the Western tradition is established as
fundamentally imperfect, Bennett reveals it to be as deeply exposed
to problems in the social and political environment as any other
form of literature.
