Returning always to this personal experience of poetry, Owen Barfield at the same time seeks objective standards of criticism and a theory of poetic diction in broader philosophical considerations on the relation of world and thought. His profound musings explore concerns fundamental to the understanding and appreciation of poetry, including the nature of metaphor, poetic effect, the difference between verse and prose, and the essence of meaning.<br><br>CONTRIBUTOR: Howard Nemerov. 979286 15 12 1984 Poetic Diction: A Study in Meaning (Wesleyan Paperback) total:26|5:9|4:9|3:7|2:1| 26 104 52 6 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Thu Nov 15 14:01:28 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 15 14:10:02 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Mar 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 16:55:51 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 06:26:27 -0700 2009 ...more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Mar 23 21:20:42 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 23 21:25:07 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Jun 26 07:58:53 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 10:40:16 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2003 Sun Jan 25 21:42:59 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 21:43:40 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Mar 31 03:58:06 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 03:58:23 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Sep 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 11:12:13 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 11:12:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 21 06:28:14 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 06:28:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 16 08:42:49 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 08:42:49 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Sep 27 11:09:33 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 11:09:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 19 15:36:23 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 15:36:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 11 21:06:12 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 21:06:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 11 12:20:47 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 12:21:05 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Aug 08 08:17:12 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 08:17:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 30 22:37:13 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 22:37:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 14 12:06:43 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 12:06:43 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jun 11 22:38:46 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 22:38:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 11 14:30:03 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 14:30:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 07 01:20:39 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 01:20:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 12 18:12:59 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 18:12:59 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=993792
