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. 410 0$aJohns Hopkins, poetry and fiction. 606 $aLyrik$zenglische$2idsbb 606 $aLyrik$zamerikanische$2idsbb 606 $aLiteratur$2gnd$3(DE-588)4035964-5 606 $aLyrik$2gnd$3(DE-588)4036774-5 606 $aGedichten$2gtt 606 $aEnglish poetry$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00912278 606 $aAmerican poetry$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00807348 606 $aPo©esie anglaise$xHistoire et critique 606 $aPo©esie am©ericaine$xHistoire et critique 606 $aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism 607 $aEnglisch$2swd 608 $aEssays. 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aEssays. 610 0 $aEnglisch$aLyrik$aAufsatzsammlung 610 0 $aUSA$aLyrik$aAufsatzsammlung 615 0$aLyrik 615 0$aLyrik 615 0$aLiteratur 615 0$aLyrik 615 10$aGedichten. 615 0$aEnglish poetry. 615 0$aAmerican poetry. 615 0$aPo©esie anglaise$xHistoire et critique. 615 0$aPo©esie am©ericaine$xHistoire et critique. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a811.009 700 $aHecht$b Anthony$f1923-2004.$0468745 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524700303321 996 $aMelodies Unheard$92781897 997 $aUNINA
