Representing a wide range of perspectives in Anglo-American literary criticism from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the collection as a whole documents the diversity and energy of ongoing critical conversations about lyric poetry.</p><p>Virginia Jackson and Yopie Prins frame these conversations with a general introduction, bibliographies for further reading, and introductions to each of the anthology's ten sections: genre theory, historical models of lyric, New Criticism, structuralist and post-structuralist reading, Frankfurt School approaches, phenomenologies of lyric reading, avant-garde anti-lyricism, lyric and sexual difference, and comparative lyric.</p><p>Designed for students, teachers, scholars, poets, and readers with a general interest in poetics, this book presents an intellectual history of the theory of lyric reading that has circulated both within and beyond the classroom, wherever poetry is taught, read, discussed, and debated today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>The thesis of <i>The Lyric Theory Reader</i>--that the very existence of the genre is more a critical extrapolation than anything solid and real--may seem to be itself a kind of critical conceit, but only because the argument serves the <i>Reader</i> exceptionally well as a cogent frame for taking stock of a diversity of approaches. Accordingly, the <i>Reader</i> would seem especially useful as a primer for up and coming scholars. . . Overall, the <i>Reader</i> should be considered <i>essential</i> in the formation of a thoughtful scholar of poetry and its criticism.</p>--Peter Fields "Rocky Mountain Review"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <b>Virginia Jackson</b> is the UCI Endowed Chair in Rhetoric in the Department of English at the University of California, Irvine, and the author of <i>Dickinson's Misery: A Theory of Lyric Reading</i>. <b>Yopie Prins</b> is a professor of English and comparative literature at the University of Michigan and author of <i>Victorian Sappho</i>.</p>
