Description

Book Synopsis
A unique piece of practical criticism, a comprehensive ""poetics"" of a genre that has not attracted a great deal of attention, at least not on this level. It is a reader's and student's guide that reaches beyond issues of individual texts and historical traditions to essential features of the form.

Trade Review
It will surely encourage readers to develop their ability to appreciate literary texts and to practice analytical and systematic reading. This is a valuable addition to literary studies." — Journal of Irish Studies
