To demonstrate how this works in practice, the author takes a wide range of poems from the Renaissance to the present day and submits them to brilliantly illuminating close analysis. As one of the world's leading literary theorists, Eagleton also summons the aid of such pioneering critics as the Russian Formalists to raise some provocative general questions: \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is poetry, and how does it differ from prose?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIs there a language peculiar to poetry?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat exactly do we mean by imagery?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eLucid, entertaining and full of insight, \u003ci\u003eHow To Read A Poem\u003c\/i\u003e is designed to banish the intimidation that too often attends the subject of poetry, and in doing so to bring it into the personal possession of the students and the general reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerry Eagleton\u003c\/b\u003e is John Edward Taylor Professor of English Literature at the University of Manchester.
