Poetic Diction, first published in 1928, begins by asking why we
call a given grouping of words "poetry" and why these arouse
"aesthetic imagination" and produce pleasure in a receptive reader.
Returning always to this personal experience of poetry, Owen
Barfield at the same time seeks objective standards of criticism
and a theory of poetic diction in broader philosophical
considerations on the relation of world and thought. His profound
musings explore concerns fundamental to the understanding and
appreciation of poetry, including the nature of metaphor, poetic
effect, the difference between verse and prose, and the essence of
meaning.
