{"product_id":"the-new-princeton-encyclopedia-of-poetry-and-poetics","title":"The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics is a comprehensive reference work dealing with all aspects of its subject: history  types  movements  prosody  and critical terminology. Prepared by recognized authorities  its articles treat their topics in sufficient depth and with enough lucidity to satisfy the scholar and the general reader alike. Entries vary in length from relatively brief notices to substantial articles of about 20 000 words.  The Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics  published in 1965  established itself as a standard work in the field. Among the 215 contributors were Northrop Frye writing on allegory  Murray Krieger on belief in poetry  Philip Wheelwright on myth  John Hollander on music  and William Carlos Williams on free verse. In 1974  the Enlarged Edition increased the entries with dozens of new subjects  including rock lyric  computer poetry  and black poetry  to name just a few.  The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics accounts for the extraordinary change and explosion of knowledge within literary and cultural studies since the 1970s. This edition  completely revised  preserves what was most valuable from previous editions  while subjecting each existing entry to revision. Over 90 percent of the entries have been extensively revised and most major ones entirely rewritten. Completely new entries number 162  including those by new contributors Camille Paglia  Barbara Herrnstein Smith  Elaine Showalter  Houston Baker  Andrew Ross  and many more. New entries include those on cultural criticism  discourse  feminist poetics  and Chicano poetry.  Improvements cover several areas: All the recent developments in theory that bear on poetry are included; bibliographies of secondary sources are extended; cross-references among entries and through blind entries have been expanded for greater ease of use; and coverage of emergent and non-Western poetries is dramatically increased. Indeed  a hallmark of the encyclopedia is its world-wide orientation on the poetry of national and cultural groups.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985189793845,"sku":"ByrdShop_0691021236","price":25.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780691021232.jpg?v=1770851274","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-new-princeton-encyclopedia-of-poetry-and-poetics","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
