{"product_id":"seven-types-of-ambiguity-william-empson-9780811200370","title":"Seven Types of Ambiguity","description":"Revised twice since it first appeared, it has remained one of the most widely read and quoted works of literary analysis. Ambiguity, according to Empson, includes \"any verbal nuance, however slight, which gives room for alternative reactions to the same piece of language.\" From this definition, broad enough by his own admission sometimes to see \"stretched absurdly far,\" he launches into a brilliant discussion, under seven classifications of differing complexity and depth, of such works, among others, as Shakespeare's plays and the poetry of Chaucer, Donne, Marvell, Pope, Wordsworth, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and T. S. Eliot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Empson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081120037X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811200370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/1966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.89h x 5.21w x 0.75d","brand":"William Empson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048092987647,"sku":"9780811200370","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8ce8bfd-cdc0-4b45-86bc-47f71f5e049d.jpg?v=1684993844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seven-types-of-ambiguity-william-empson-9780811200370","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
