Including applied readings, this book explores the divide between
practical criticism and theory in 20th century criticism to propose
a new way of reading poetry. The history of poetry criticism in the
20th Century is often told as the story of two opposing sides. On
the one hand, practical criticism emphasized close reading and a
concern with authorial intention and technique; by contrast, the
'theory revolution' reacted against this in favour of a concern
with the anonymous ideological forces at play in the text.
Critically exploring this history of 20th Century literary
criticism, "On Modern Poetry" draws on the insights of both
traditions to offer a new way of reading poetry. Taking students
through the work of such critics as T.S. Eliot, William Empson,
Harold Bloom, Jacques Derrida and Martin Heidegger, the book
considers such topics as rhyme, poetic 'voice' and language. The
second part of the book then goes on to apply these critical
insights through close readings of poems by such writers as Matthew
Arnold, Thomas Hardy, Gerard Manley Hopkins and Alfred Lord
Tennyson. A new exploration of poetry criticism in the last hundred
years, "On Modern Poetry" is an essential guide for readers and
students at all levels.
