'Re-versioning', as Taylor dubs his process, is not so much offering a parallel text or a commentary on the original, but effects a distillation of it, isolating its essence, updating. He resembles Basil Bunting deleting and scribbling his way through Shakespeare's sonnets, as he exchanges Brontë's rhetoric for sculpted lines and deft sound-shapes (the rhymes chiming internally across their precise new line-breaks). Taylor is like an architect decluttering the Brontë Parsonage into a modern minimalist and open plan living space: 'forms refuse the real\/ \u0026amp; unreal to confuse phantom\/ paths of joy'. For all its careful acknowledgement of sources, this is an assured work for our times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Sheppard \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1739721322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781739721329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leafe Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.18d","brand":"Andrew Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080358752511,"sku":"9781739721329","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_618f4661-0a69-4214-93ec-fc08e58c2c06.jpg?v=1685486360","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/northangerland-re-versioning-the-poetry-of-andrew-taylor-9781739721329","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
