By John Harvey

The Poetics of Sight analyses the role of sight in memory, dream and popular culture and demonstrates the structure of a complex sight within literary and visual metaphors. The book explores the topic across the twentieth century, in art from Picasso to Kapoor, in poetry from Eliot to Hughes, in aesthetics from Pound to Derrida.
