Description: Studies in Poetic Discourse by Hans-Jost Frey, William Whobrey This study of four major poets - Mallarme, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, and Holderlin - examines the self-reflexivity of modern poetry. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This study of four major poets - Mallarme, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, and Holderlin - examines the self-reflexivity of modern poetry, exploring questions concerning what it means for a poem to be "about" its own process of saying. What does it mean to read and understand a text that is focused not on its content but on its saying? What kind of relation does a writer have to the language used in a text? How are we to think about the relation of content to the saying? Back Cover "This is an exceptional and important volume in which close readings of four major European writers daringly eradicate the border between commentary and literature. In precise analyses of particular texts, Frey works through and elucidates the various theories of writing, reading, representation, and memory. The complex line of argumentation is rendered with remarkable clarity, and one learns a great deal not only about the texts studied but also about literary theory in general."-Carol Jacobs, State University of New York, Buffalo Table of Contents Foreword; 1. Mallarme; 2. Baudelaire: imagination and memory; a renunciation of understanding; 3. Rimbaud; 4. Holderlin: Holderlin and Rousseau: the sacred and the word; A note on translations in the English edition; Works cited.
