Analyzing both theory and practice, and taking in a broad swathe of writers and thinkers from Wordsworth to Rousseau to Hegel to Proust, Brodsky is at pains to draw out the transformative, active, and effective power of literature. Poetry, she says, is only worthy of the name when it is not the property of the poet but of society, when it is valued for what it \u003ci\u003edoes\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWords' Worth\u003c\/i\u003eis a bold new work, by a leading scholar of literature, which demands a response from all students and scholars of modern poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claudia Brodsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501364537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501364532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Claudia Brodsky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942818545919,"sku":"9781501364532","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_acc13937-915f-499a-8bec-40f4f7e3eea7.jpg?v=1681494536","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/words-worth-claudia-brodsky-9781501364532","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
