Many of the most influential and best-known poems in the language--such as Milton's \"Lycidas,\" Shelley's \"Adonais,\" and Auden's \"In Memory of W. B. Yeats\"--are elegies for poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eGrief and Meter, \u003c\/i\u003e Sally Connolly offers the first book to focus on these poems and the role they play as a specific subgenre of elegy, establishing a genealogy of poetry that traces the dynamics of influence and inheritance in twentieth- and twenty-first-century poetry. She identifies a distinctive and significant Anglo-American line of descent that resonates in these poems, with British poets often elegizing American ones, yet rarely the other way around. Further, she reveals how these poems function as a means of mediating, effecting, and tracing transatlantic poetic exchanges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author frames elegies for poets as a chain of commemoration and inheritance, each link independent, but when seen as part of the \"golden chain,\" signifying a larger purpose and having a correspondingly greater strength. \u003ci\u003eGrief and Meter\u003c\/i\u003e provides a compelling account of how and why these poems are imbued with such power and significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sally Connolly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813938643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813938646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.35h x 6.08w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2017","brand":"Sally Connolly","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947306549503,"sku":"9780813938646","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e43575cf-5d38-420c-afab-b6ecf8e9dcba.jpg?v=1681517938","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/grief-and-meter-sally-connolly-9780813938646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
