Language, Music, and the Sign : A Study in Aesthetics, Poetics and Poetic Practice from Collins to Coleridge

Omtale

Originally published in 1987, this book forms a conceptual account of the relationship between music and poetry in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Kevin Barry argues that this relationship is more important than previous scholarship, with its emphasis on the visual analogy (comparing poetry with painting rather than with music), allowed for.
