Making and Seeing Modern Texts explores the poetics of texts
through a close reading and analysis across the genres of poetry,
drama, fiction, non-fiction travel literature and theory. This
volume demonstrates that prose, as much as poetry, share the making
and seeing of language, literary practice, and theory. Genre, then,
is presented as a guide that crosses multiple boundaries. This
volume selects different ways to examine texts, discussing Michael
Ondaatje's early poetry and examining narrative in Philip Roth's
The Human Stain. The book examines images in poetry, narrative in
fiction, prefaces in non-fiction, metatheatre in drama, and
attempts to see the modern and postmodern in theory, all of which
show us the complexities of modernity or later modernity. One of
the innovations is that the author, a literary critic/theorist,
poet and historian, takes his training in practice and theory and
shows, through examples of each, how language operates across
genres.
