Many of the most influential and best-known poems in the language--such as Milton's \"Lycidas,\" Shelley's \"Adonais,\" and Auden's \"In Memory of W. B. Yeats\"--are elegies for poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eGrief and Meter, \u003c\/i\u003e Sally Connolly offers the first book to focus on these poems and the role they play as a specific subgenre of elegy, establishing a genealogy of poetry that traces the dynamics of influence and inheritance in twentieth- and twenty-first-century poetry. She identifies a distinctive and significant Anglo-American line of descent that resonates in these poems, with British poets often elegizing American ones, yet rarely the other way around. Further, she reveals how these poems function as a means of mediating, effecting, and tracing transatlantic poetic exchanges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author frames elegies for poets as a chain of commemoration and inheritance, each link independent, but when seen as part of the \"golden chain,\" signifying a larger purpose and having a correspondingly greater strength. \u003ci\u003eGrief and Meter\u003c\/i\u003e provides a compelling account of how and why these poems are imbued with such power and significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSally Connolly is Director of Graduate Studies in English and Associate Professor of Contemporary Poetry at the University of Houston.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.93 x 9.35 x 6.08 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 09, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757802684704,"sku":"9780813938646","price":93.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/198df6911ab672d300d76c75e373851f.webp?v=1780112166","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/grief-and-meter-elegies-for-poets-after-auden-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
