內容簡介
Poetry, arguably, has a greater range of conceptual meaning than perhaps any other term in English. At the most basic level everyone can recognize it--it is a kind of literature that uses special linguistic devices of organization and expression for aesthetic effect. However, far grander claims have been made for poetry than this -- such as Shelley’s that the poets ＂are the unacknowledged legislators of the world,＂ and that poetry is ＂a higher truth.＂
In this
Very Short Introduction
