Claudia Brodsky marshals her equal expertise in literature and
philosophy to redefine the terms and trajectory of the theory and
interpretation of modern poetry. Taking her cue from Wordsworth's
revolutionary understanding of "real language," Brodsky unfolds a
provocative new theory of poetry, a way of looking at poetry that
challenges traditional assumptions. Analyzing both theory and
practice, and taking in a broad swathe of writers and thinkers from
Wordsworth to Rousseau to Hegel to Proust, Brodsky is at pains to
draw out the transformative, active, and effective power of
literature. Poetry, she says, is only worthy of the name when it is
not the property of the poet but of society, when it is valued for
what it does. Words' Worth is a bold new work, by a leading scholar
of literature, which demands a response from all students and
scholars of modern poetry.
