Contact seller5-star sellerCunningham, James Vincent, 1911-. Tradition and poetic structure: essays in literary history and criticism. Denver: Alan Swallow, 1960, 273pp., quite worn and chipped dust-jacket, tape repairs on reverse, good light blue gray cloth BUT faded by light around edges and a couple of soiled spots. Chapters on Marvell, Dunbar, Nashe,…Canterbury Tales, The Phoenix and the Turtle, Hamlet and King Lear, Wallace Stevens, Shakespearean Tragedy, The Donation tradition. JACKET TEXT: The criticism of J. V. Cunningham is unique in the modern "age of criticism." For one thing, it is distilled instead of prolix, forthright and sharp instead of overwritten and vague. Or, as the author says in his preface to this collection of essays, "I have attempted to be brief, clear, and cold-blooded, to make a number of positive contributions to the field of literary scholarship, and to present a consistent and no doubt unpoetical attitude toward poetry." The materials of Tradition and Poetic Structure fall into three groupings. First is a collection of essays varying from a basic statement upon poetry and tradition, through commanding essays on Statius, Chaucer, the Renaissance, to Wallace Stevens. The second part is a reprinting, entire, of Cunningham's Woe or Wonder: The Emotional Effect of Shakespearean Tragedy. Third is an appendix section of two brief and brilliant essays upon history and poetry and upon tragedy as essence.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of poetry, exploring the very essence of what makes a poem and its connection to the rich tapestry of literary tradition. The author embarks on a journey through different types of poems, examining their structures and how they relate to the hi…storical and literary contexts in which they were created. This exploration spans from classical works like Statius' "On Sleep" to medieval masterpieces like Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales," and even touches upon the works of Shakespeare. The author dissects the concept of "poetic tradition" ââ â not just as a historical progression, but as a living entity that shapes the creation and understanding of poems. Literary conventions, language choices, and even external influences like logic and theology are all examined as formative elements in the construction of a poem. The author further delves into the experience of reading and appreciating poetry, highlighting the role of memory, interpretation, and the "ideal implicit norm" that guides our understanding of a work. Ultimately, this book offers profound insights into the nature of poetry, revealing it as a complex interplay of structure, tradition, and individual creativity, leaving readers with a deeper appreciation for the art form and its enduring legacy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
