Unstated meaning has always been a feature of poetry, but it is in
our own century that it has established itself not only as the
prevailing mode of expression but also as the central concern of
analytic criticism. Although a variety of terms, such as Ambiguity,
Irony and Gesture, have been employed to discuss this aspect of
poetry and have gained popularity, Professor Rayan shows that
'Suggestion', occurring as far back as in Edgar Allan Poe's
writings and later in Symbolist theorizing, is a concept of much
longer standing and of equal serviceability. In examining
Suggestion, particularly as the only mode of presentation of
emotion, he makes fruitful use of some central ideas from
ninth-century Sanskrit aesthetics. The contrasted techniques of
Suggestion and Statement are studied in relation to each other and
with reference to many poetic examples, past and present.
