A pioneering work in cognitive versification studies, scrutinizing the rhythmical means of free verse.
Investigating a previously neglected area of study, Rhythm in Modern Poetry establishes a foundation for cognitive versification studies with a focus on the modernist free verse. Following in the tradition of cognitive poetics by Reuven Tsur, Richard Cureton and Derek Attridge, every chapter investigates the rhythms of one modern poem, by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Sylvia Plath and others, and engages each element in the broader interpretation of the poem in question. In her examination of modernist poetry in English and other Germanic languages, Eva Lilja expands her analysis to discuss both the Ancient Greek and Norse origins of rhythm in free verse and the intermedia intersection, comparing poetic rhythm with rhythm in pictures, sculptures and dance. Rhythm in Modern Poetry thus expands the field of cognitive versification studies while also engaging readers writ large interested in how rhythm works in the aesthetic field.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Bloomsbury AcademicISBN-13:9798765100974UPC:9798765100974Book Category:Literary CriticismBook Subcategory:Comparative Literature, Poetry, ModernSize:9.00 x 6.00 x 0.41 inchesWeight:0.268Product ID:SCK5EBYKAY
