Sitter begins by offering a guide to poetic forms ranging from heroic couplets to blank verse, then demonstrates how skilfully male and female poets of the period used them as vehicles for imaginative experience, feelings and ideas. He then provides detailed analyses of individual works by poets from Finch, Swift and Pope, to Gray, Cowper and Barbauld. An approachable introduction to English poetry and major poets of the eighteenth century, this book provides a grounding in poetic analysis useful to students and general readers of literature. 410 0$aCambridge introductions to literature. 606 $aEnglish poetry$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a821/.509 686 $aLIT004120$2bisacsh 700 $aSitter$b John E.$0193657 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781941603321 996 $aThe Cambridge introduction to eighteenth-century poetry$93724328 997 $aUNINA
