Poetry and Freedom

<p><span data-sheets-value={ data-sheets-userformat={>This book offers a ground-breaking exploration of the aesthetics of poetic freedom from antiquity to the present and from Europe and the Middle East into the poetry of the English-speaking world. Questions about the elusiveness of poetic freedom are tested vis-à-vis the works of Whitman Dickinson Rilke Dante and Virgil that result in a fresh and well-nigh revolutionary way of seeing literary and modern history or an initiation into the more striking gift of aesthetic freedom.</span></p>
