The Other Orpheus: A Poetics of Modern Homosexuality / Edition 1

by Merrill Cole

Overview

First published in 2003. This volume aims to re-establish an interest in poetry by integrating questions of prosody and aesthetics with political literary inquiry. The broader theoretical goal is nothing less than a rehabilitation of the concepts of affect and imagination, though the study also argues against anti-formalist approaches to literature.
