These essays explore Hill's struggle over fifty years with the recalcitrance of language. This book seeks to show how all his work is marked by the quest for the right pitch of utterance whether it is sorrowing, angry, satiric or erotic. It shows how Hill's words are never lightly 'acceptable' but an ethical act, how he seeks out words he can stand by - words that are 'getting it right'.This book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date critical work on Geoffrey Hill so far, covering all his work up to 'Scenes from 606 $aLiterature$2mup 606 $aLiterary Studies: Poetry & Poets$2bicssc 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh$2bisach 606 $aIreland$2thema 610 $aGeoffrey Hill. 610 $aScenes from Comus. 610 $alanguage. 610 $apitch. 610 $apoems. 610 $apoetry. 610 $arecalcitrance. 610 $asatiric. 610 $asorrowing. 610 $autterance. 615 7$aLiterature 615 7$aLiterary Studies: Poetry & Poets 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh 615 7$aIreland 676 $a821.914 700 $aWainwright$b Jeffrey$01645555 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826075303321 996 $aAcceptable words$93992097 997 $aUNINA
