Never Again Would Birds' Song Be the Same: Essays on Early Modern and Modern Poetry in Honor of John Hollander

Yale University Press, 2002.

Jennifer Lewin, ed.

Presenting seventeen new essays written by both established and new scholars, this collection investigates the affective, formal, and historical dimensions of English and American poetry during the last four centuries. The essays approach the meaning-making arguments that poetry figures forth from disparate angles that are almost always indebted to, but often quarrel with, recent developments in the field of literary study such as new historicism, genre studies, deconstruction, textual criticism, philosophy, and reception history.
