The Continuity of Poetic Language
is an insightful exploration of the evolution of English poetry spanning four centuries, from the 1640s to the 1940s. Authored by Josephine Miles, the book intricately examines the recurring themes, linguistic structures, and stylistic shifts that define each era's poetic expression. Through detailed analysis, Miles reveals how poets navigate the interplay between individual creativity and the collective constraints of their times, demonstrating the enduring influence of social, historical, and literary contexts on poetic language. This seminal work serves as a bridge between scholarly inquiry and poetic appreciation, making it a valuable resource for students, educators, and literary enthusiasts alike.
The volume is particularly noteworthy for its methodical approach to identifying patterns in language use, such as vocabulary, syntax, and rhythm, within distinct decades of English poetry. By dissecting the works of prominent poets and situating them within their cultural milieus, Miles uncovers the dynamic processes that shape poetic innovation and tradition. Whether delving into the metaphysical complexities of the 17th century or the modernist shifts of the 20th, "The Continuity of Poetic Language" invites readers to reflect on the timeless interplay between language, art, and human experience.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1951.
