Descripción Paperback. Condición: Gut. 201 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Buchrücken leicht ausgeblichen, Fußschnitt leicht angeschmutzt, sonst ein sehr gutes Exemplar / spine slightly faded, bottom edge slightly soiled, otherwise a very good copy. - Since its original debut, The New Poetic has achieved the status of a classic in its field of scholarship. In this paperback edition, complete with a new preface, C. K. Stead suggests that a poem exists in a triangle, the points of which are the poet, the audience, and that area of experience we call reality. Between these points run lines of tension that "pull" depending on the time, place, poet, and audience. The finest poems in any language are likely to be those that exist in an equilateral triangle, each point pulling to create a moment of perfect tension. By the end of the nineteenth century the Romantic movement was deeply divided between two opposing impulses: popular, discursive poetry in the manner of Kipling and the pure, aesthetic mode of Wilde. Stead suggests that Yeats was the first in a new tradition attempting to re-establish a wholeness of poetic sensibility and a balanced relationship among the points of his metaphorical triangle. Presenting a valuable survey of the state of poetry in England from 1909 to 1916, Stead reassesses the achievements of the Georgians, whose directness of approach marked a crucial break with popular "imperial" poetry, and the work of Pound and the Imagists, which became the foundation for a significant revolution in poetry. Narrowing his focus to another poet, T. S. Eliot, Stead goes on to assert that, with Yeats, Eliot articulates a new poetic which fuses the moral and aesthetic qualities latent in the raw material of poetry into a form intensely expressive of the full human condition. The New Poetic will be valuable to students and scholars of modernism, Yeats, and Eliot, and readers of poetry. / CONTENTS Foreword to the Revised Edition 1 Introduction 2 W. B.
