Semiotics of Poetry

Open Indiana

by Michael Riffaterre

"The theory of poetic semiotics put forward here was first sketched out in a 1971 paper of mine on what makes a literary sentence literary. My previous work had concentrated upon the surface structures of poetic discourse, upon what the reader recognizes and identifies as style...The theoretical aims of this book make it applicable." - from the book's preface

Reviews

[Joe Matson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Intended for scholars of French poetry, the non-specialist will find this volume dense, technical, and jargon heavy. However, Riffaterre offers numerous examples for each of his concepts, which helped me track most of the ideas. Ungrammaticality is the major take away.
