The presentation of poetry to auditor and reader involves a complex
interaction of rhetorical, orthographical and visual mediating
skills. At issue are the nature of 'authority', the creation of a
readership attuned to the writer's poetic resonances, and a
delicate negotiation between literary tradition and individual
talent. In a series of detailed readings leading scholars focus on
the presentation of work by Spenser, Herbert, Milton, Dryden, Pope,
Smart, Blake, Wordsworth, Browning, Newman, Yeats, Lawrence and
David Jones. The wide chronological range enables unusually
extensive comparison across the boundaries of generic form, and
between the varying emotional, aesthetic and rhetorical emphases of
specific periods: from the creation of fictitious personae to the
construction of autobiographical 'self', from the interaction of
printed word and visual image to the arrangements and
rearrangements of structure and sequence.
