Frederick M. Keener

Implication, Readers' Resources, and Thomas Gray's Pindaric Odes

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

More radically than had any contemporary English author's work, Thomas Gray's two Pindaric odes of 1757, effectively challenged readers' powers of comprehension, posing problems of reference as well as distinctly Pindaric problems of coherence. Solving those problems calls for knowledge not widely had then, now, or in between.
