Part of the pleasure of poetry is unravelling the mysteries and difficulties it contains and solving the puzzles that lie within. Who, for instance, is Ozymandias? What is the Snark? Who is the Emperor of Ice-Cream? Or indeed, who is 'you' in a poem? In this perceptive and playful new book, acclaimed poet John Fuller looks at some of our greatest poems and considers the number of individual puzzles at their heart, casting light on how we should approach these conundrums as readers. From riddling to double entendres, mysterious titles to red herrings, Fuller unpicks the puzzles in works that range from Browning to Bishop, Empson to Eliot, Shelley to Stevens, to help us reach the rewards and revelations that lie at the centre of some of our best-loved poems.

First published in 1977, this book was the first to map extensively the ideological typography of the Anglo-American tradition of literary theory. It interrogates, comprehensively and in detail, the assumptions and categorical development within critical ideas from I. A. Richards and T. S. Eliot, through John Crowe Ransom and the New Criticism, to Northrop Frye and Marshall NcLuhan. This analysis reveals the Anglo-American tradition of literary-cultural theory is most properly intelligible within the overall field of social consciousness as an ideology of progressive cultural rationalization. Against a background of ideological development since nineteenth-century Romanticism, John Fekete illuminates the boundaries of literary ideology in relation to the shapes and changes of modern culture and society.

"This book gathers theoretical propositions about space into a conception of dynamic space - space that is complex, interrelated, transcendent, and multi-centered. The polyvalent quality of space that we desire is anticipated and envisioned by American writers, writing out of a pervasive, transcendentalist mode. Works by three authors - Henry David Theoreau, E. E. Cummings, and John Barth - serve as case studies for the consideration of the influence and adaptation of a dynamic strain of transcendentalism in American literature. The envisioning of space as dynamic, as changeable, as mobile, challenges common conceptions of built space as static."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
