In the year of his one-hundredth birthday, preeminent literary
critic, scholar, and teacher M. H. Abrams brings us a collection of
nine new and recent essays that challenge the reader to think about
poetry in new ways. In these essays, three of them never before
published, Abrams engages afresh with pivotal figures in
intellectual and literary history, among them Kant, Keats, and
Hazlitt. The centerpiece of the volume is Abrams's eloquent and
incisive essay "The Fourth Dimension of a Poem" on the pleasure of
reading poems aloud, accompanied by online recordings of Abrams's
revelatory readings of poems such as William Wordsworth's
"Surprised by Joy," Alfred Tennyson's "Here Sleeps the Crimson
Petal," and Ernest Dowson's "Cynara." The collection begins with a
foreword by Abrams's former student Harold Bloom.
