{"product_id":"the-poetics-of-unremembered-acts-brian-mcgrath-9780810128491","title":"The Poetics of Unremembered Acts: Reading, Lyric, Pedagogy","description":"Poems--specifically romantic poems, such as those by Thomas Gray, William Wordsworth, and John Keats--link what goes unremembered in our reading to ethics. In \"Tintern Abbey,\" for example, Wordsworth finds in \"little . . . unremembered . . . acts\" the chance to hear the \"still, sad music of humanity.\"In \u003ci\u003eThe Poetics of Unremembered Acts, \u003c\/i\u003eBrian McGrath shows that poetry's capacity to address its reader stages an ethical dilemma of continued importance. Situating romantic poems in relation to Enlightenment debate over how to teach reading, specifically debate about the role of poetry in the process of learning to read, \u003ci\u003eThe Poetics of Unremembered Acts\u003c\/i\u003e develops an alternative understanding of poetry's role in education. McGrath also explores the ways poetry makes ethics possible through its capacity to pass along what we do not remember and cannot know about our reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian McGrath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810128497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810128491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Brian McGrath","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096741159167,"sku":"9780810128491","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poetics-of-unremembered-acts-brian-mcgrath-9780810128491","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
