  • Poetry

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Bernard O'Donoghue ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Poetry, arguably, has a greater range of conceptual meaning than perhaps any other term in English. At the most basic level everyone can recognise 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 ... Read more
