Many prejudices have arisen against him since the period of his popularity in the late nineteenth century.  In this book, the reader is given an opportunity to reassess this comparatively little-known personality and to see the range of his art.  He was not just a pupil of Rossetti, nor just a painter of palely loitering knights and wan sexless girls: he was a discoverer of the depth of the imagination, and he utilised his anguish to create an art of dramatic tensions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49513784148241,"sku":"GOR004003237","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49647157084433,"sku":"GOR004038664","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51863986110737,"sku":"GOR009418244","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0852631995.jpg?v=1751139409"},{"product_id":"stained-glass-from-shrigley-and-hunt-of-lancaster-and-london-book-william-waters-9781862201408","title":"Stained Glass from Shrigley and Hunt of Lancaster and London","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49589432451345,"sku":"GOR006090726","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50156945473809,"sku":"GOR010643835","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1862201404.jpg?v=1751379866"},{"product_id":"saints-and-symbols-pre-raphaelite-stained-glass-book-william-waters-9780993404528","title":"Saints and Symbols, Pre-Raphaelite Stained Glass","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50259101253905,"sku":"GOR013900991","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0993404529.jpg?v=1751013369"},{"product_id":"unwatered-seeds-book-william-waters-9781625494627","title":"Unwatered Seeds","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51180466471185,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51180467814673,"sku":"NIN9781625494627","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1625494629.jpg?v=1750831164"},{"product_id":"poetry-s-touch-book-william-waters-9780801441202","title":"Poetry's Touch","description":"To whom does a poem speak? Do poems really communicate with those they address? Is reading poems like overhearing? Like intimate conversation? Like performing a script? William Waters pursues these questions by closely reading a selection of poems that say \"you\" to a human being: to the reader, to the beloved, or to the dead. In any account of reading lyric poetry, Waters argues, there will be places where the participant roles of speaker, intended hearer, and bystander melt together or away; these are moments of wonder.   Looking both at poetry's \"you\" and at how readers encounter it, Waters asserts that poetic address shows literature pressing for a close relation with those into whose hands it may fall. What is at stake for us as readers and critics is our ability to acknowledge the claims made on us by the works of art with which we engage. In second-person poems, in a poem's touch, we may come to see why poetry matters to us, and how we, in turn, come to feel answerable to it.    Poetry's Touch takes as a central thread the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, a writer whose work is unusually self-conscious about poetic address. The book also draws examples from a gamut of European and American poems, ranging from archaic Greek inscriptions to Keats, Dickinson, and Ashbery.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51357503127825,"sku":"CIN080144120XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/080144120X.jpg?v=1761390172"},{"product_id":"angels-icons-pre-raphaelite-stained-glass-1850-1870-book-william-waters-9780953280131","title":"Angels \u0026 Icons Pre-Raphaelite Stained Glass 1850-1870","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51430098862353,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51430098927889,"sku":"GOR010253730","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0953280136.jpg?v=1751363616"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-william-waters.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
