Visionary Philology
This book-length study of the poetry and critical writing of Geoffrey Hill, one of the major post-war writers in English, combines nuanced and incisive close reading with detailed scholarship and fresh archival work. Hill's work is examined in relation to the history of language and of the study of language, with key chapters dedicated to the linguistic ideas of the Oxford English Dictionary and its founder, Richard Chenevix Trench, and of scholar-poets GerardManley Hopkins and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The final two chapters consider the basis for a poetic theology of language founded in the myths of linguistic fallenness and original sin. In the range of itsattention and the depth of its scholarship, this book represents one of the fullest and most authoritative accounts of the work of a living writer in recent years.
Inconsequence
The field of lesbian studies is often framed in terms of the relation between lesbianism and invisibility. Annamarie Jagose here takes a radical new approach, suggesting that the focus on invisibility and visibility is perhaps not the most productive way of looking at lesbian representability. Jagose argues that the theoretical preoccupation with metaphors of visibility is part of the problem it attempts to remedy. In her account, the regulatory difference between heterosexuality and homosexuality relies less on codes of visual recognition than on a cultural adherence to the force of first order, second order sexual sequence. As Jagose points out, sequence does not simply specify what comes ...

Meeting Without Knowing It
Meeting Without Knowing It compares Rudyard Kipling and W.B. Yeats in the formative phase of their careers, from their births in 1865 up to 1903. The argument consists of parallel readings wed to a biographic structure. Reading the two poets in parallel often yields remarkable discursive echoes. For example, both men were similarly preoccupied with the visual arts, with heroism, with folklore, balladry and the demotic voice. Both struck vatic postures, and made bids for public authority premised on an appeal to what they considered the 'mythopoeic' impulse in fin de siècle culture. My methodology consists in identifying these mutual echoes in their poetry and political rhetoric, before char...
