Addresses the specific question of how particular theories produce certain kinds of readings of poems. This book offers an introduction to literary theory and its relation to the study of poetry, covering a general discussion of poetry and theory, new criticism, structuralism, deconstruction, Russian formalism and poetry and history. There is also a section on poetry and gender, contributions by Barbara Milech. Following an introduction to each of these areas, a poem is considered in the light of each particular critical approach. This book is aimed specifically at undergraduate and postgraduate students, further education and A-level students and tutors.
