A propos de cet article

xxiv, 906 p. Der Einband ist berieben, die Seiten sind papierbedingt leicht nachgedunkelt, ansonsten ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen. / The binding is rubbed, the pages are slightly darkened due to the paper, otherwise a very good and clean copy without markings. -- (Extract:) PREFACE The ENCYCLOPEDIA OF POETRY AND POETICS is the most comprehen-sive treatment of its field yet attempted. It consists of about 1,000 individual entries ranging from twenty to more than 20,000 words, dealing with the history, theory, technique, and criticism of poetry from earliest times to the present. The entries are designed to be useful to the general reader, the student, and the professional scholar. They are supplemented by substantial bibliographies and generous cross-references. Articles on individual authors, poems, and allusions have been excluded from the encyclopedia as readily available in other refer-ence works. Otherwise, the policy of the editors has been to avoid arbitrary limitations. The danger of too narrow a definition of "poetry" has been recognized, and the reader will find numerous articles dealing with the area between prose and poetry (e.g., VERSE AND PROSE, PROSE POEM, PROSE RHYTHM, FREE VERSE), and topics equally relevant to prose and poetry (e.g., PLOT, MYTH, SYMBOL, IMAGERY). Of particular interest in view of the renaissance of liter-ary criticism in the twentieth century are the numerous articles dealing with poetic theory, schools of criticism, and critical terms. Current interest in poetics also informs many of the entries dealing with the history and forms of poetry. The entries in the ENCYCLOPEDIA are arranged in alphabetical order. However, they may be grouped under four general headings: (I) History of Poetry; (II) Techniques of Poetry; (III) Poetics and Criticism; (IV) Poetry and its Relationship to Other Fields of In-terest. (I). The history of poetry is treated in terms of languages, move-ments, and schools. The reader will find entries on the history of each of the major bodies of world poetry-English, American, French, Indian, Arabic, Japanese, etc. as well as shorter entries on such minor bodies of poetry as Korean poetry, Yiddish poetry, American Indian poetry, and Eskimo poetry. Movements which cut across linguistic or national boundaries are treated in articles such as RENAISSANCE POETRY, ROMANTICISM, and SYMBOLISM. Shorter ar-ticles deal with movements or schools peculiar to one country (e.g., DOLCE STIL NUOVO, PRE-RAPHAELITE BROTHERHOOD, PLÉIAde). In every case the aim has been to provide a coherent summary of the impor-tant facts illustrated by frequent citations, together with the critical evaluation necessary to an intelligent understanding of the subject. (II). Technique is covered in articles on STYLE, POETIC DICTION, IMAGERY, RHYME, and the like. There is a general article on FIGURES OF SPEECH, as well as articles on specific figures like METAPHOR, SIMILE, and CONCEIT. The more important terms of traditional rhetoric are included along with terms which have become current through the influence of modern criticism. The sound values of poetry are treated in SOUND IN POETRY, and in shorter entries on TONE COLOR, ONOMATOPOEIA, ALLITERATION, ASSONANCE, and the like. The major genres, such as tragedy, epic, and lyric, receive extended treatment in terms of both history and theory. More general forms (e.g., DRAMATIC POETRY, NARRATIVE POETRY) are discussed in sep-arate articles, as are such rarely treated subjects as EROTIC POETRY and ORAL POETRY. Prosody is treated in a general article as well as in more specific entries on CLASSICAL PROSODY, ENGLISH PROSODY, ROMANCE PROSODY, SLAVIC PROSODY, and CELTIC PROSODY, to name only a few. A general article on METER is supplemented by entries on such conventional "types" as HEXAMETER, HEROIC COUPLET, and ELEGIAC DISTICH. Spe-cial care has been taken to provide adequate representation for techniques and prosodic forms common in non-Wester.…
