Sommario/riassunto

The four poets taken up in this volume - Alexander Pope, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and William Butler Yeates - come from three centuries and three nations, and their styles of thinking are characteristically ideosyncratic. Helen Vendler traces these poets' lines to find evidence of thought in lyric.
