Poetry by Richard Bradford
Richard Bradford's new introduction to poetry begins with and answers the slippery question, 'what is poetry?'. The book provides a compact history of English poetry from the 16th century to the present day and surveys the major critical and theoretical approaches to verse.
'Bradford has produced a superb, accessible introduction to an impressively sweeping range of poetic techniques and historical contextsImpressive, useful and affordable, this book will be a boon for any newcomer who wishes to grapple with the daunting challenge of interpreting historical and contemporary poetry - it will work as great revision for experienced readers too.' - Kevin De Ornellas, Ulster University, UK
