By bringing together the emphases and techniques of modern
linguistics and literary criticism and applying them to a range of
poetry, from Shakespeare to the present day, "A Linguistic History
of English Poetry" argues that poetry is uniquely and intrinsically
different from other linguistic discourses and non-linguistic sign
systems. A variety of approaches, including New Criticism,
Formalism, Structuralism and Poststructuralism, are used to show
how poetic structure and poetic signification have changed since
the sixteenth century and interpretive models and methods are
offered for criticizing poetry. Particular emphasis is placed on
the texts' contexts, both in relation to literary history, and
social, cultural and aesthetic considerations.
The book contains detailed readings of individual texts, including
poems by Donne, Herbert, Marvell, Milton, Pope, Wordsworth,
Coleridge, Blake, Keats, Shelly, Tennyson, Browning, Arnold,
Hopkins, Pound, Eliot, WilliamCarlos Williams, Dylan Thomas, Auden,
e. e. cummings, Larken and E. J. Thribb, as well as a full
glossary.
