Ranging from Renaissance to contemporary poets, Hecht considers the work of Shakespeare, Sidney, and Noel Housman, Hopkins, Eliot, and Auden Frost, Bishop, and Wilbur Amichai, Simic, and Heaney. Stepping back from individual poets, Hecht muses on rhyme and on meter, and also discusses St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians and Melville's Moby-Dick. Uniting these diverse subjects is Hecht's preoccupation with the careful deployment of words, the richness and versatility of language and of those who use it well.Johns Hopkins, poetry and fiction.LyrikenglischeidsbbLyrikamerikanischeidsbbLiteraturgnd(DE-588)4035964-5Lyrikgnd(DE-588)4036774-5GedichtengttEnglish poetryfast(OCoLC)fst00912278American poetryfast(OCoLC)fst00807348Po©esie anglaiseHistoire et critiquePo©esie am©ericaineHistoire et critiqueEnglish poetryHistory and criticismAmerican poetryHistory and criticismEnglischswdEssays.Criticism, interpretation, etc.Essays.EnglischLyrikAufsatzsammlungUSALyrikAufsatzsammlungLyrikLyrikLiteraturLyrikGedichten.English poetry.American poetry.Po©esie anglaiseHistoire et critique.Po©esie am©ericaineHistoire et critique.English poetryHistory and criticism.American poetryHistory and criticism.811.009Hecht Anthony1923-2004.468745MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910524700303321Melodies Unheard2781897UNINA
