This study offers a fresh approach to the theory and practice of
poetry criticism from a narratological perspective. Arguing that
lyric poems share basic constituents of narration with prose
fiction, namely temporal sequentiality of events and verbal
mediation, the authors propose the transgeneric application of
narratology to the poetic genre with the aim of utilizing the
sophisticated framework of narratological categories for a more
precise and complex modeling of the poetic text. On this basis, the
study provides a new impetus to the neglected field of poetic
theory as well as to methodology. The practical value of such an
approach is then demonstrated by detailed model analyses of
canonical English poems from all major periods between the 16th and
the 20th centuries. The comparative discussion of these analyses
draws general conclusions about the specifics of narrative
structures in lyric poetry in contrast to prose fiction.
