The Languages of Criticism and the Structure of Poetry

By Ronald Salmon Crane and R.S. Crane

Book Overview

These vigorous lectures deal with some of the many ways in which the

question of structure in poetry (here synonymous with the whole range of artistic

creation in words) can be discussed. Criticism has never been, Professor Clare argues, a

single discipline, but a collection of more and less distinct conceptual

"languages," within any one of which a literary problem takes on a special

solution.
