This was not, as many assume, the creation of a book of poetry. A book emerged, to be sure?the landmark Lyrical Ballads. But in Murder Ballads, David John Brennan posits that the two poets were in fact pursuing far different ends: to birth from their poems a singular, idealized Poet. Despite their success, such Frankensteinian pursuits proved rife with consequence for the men. Doubts and questions plagued them: What does it mean to be a poet if your work is not your own? Who is best fit to lay claim to a parcel of poetic property that was collaboratively crafted and bequeathed to a fictitious Poet? How does one kill a Poet born of one?s own hand? Blending critical examination with jocular playlets-in-verse featuring the authors of the two books in baffled conversation, Murder Ballads reopens a 200-year-old cold case that never received a proper investigation: Who was the first true Author of Lyrical Ballads, and how exactly did he die? 606 $aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism 610 $apoetry 610 $acriticism 610 $aWordsworth 610 $aplays 610 $aexperimental poetry 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 700 $aBrennan$b David John$0920949 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910229242303321 996 $aMurder ballads$92065630 997 $aUNINA
