Hearing the measures : Shakespearean and other inflections : selected essays

When we listen to the words of a poet in the theatre, or read them silently on the page, what is it that we hear? This work is a gathering of perceptive essays written over 25 years, and aims to help us hear the measures poets use to conjure up strangeness, urgency, distance and surprise.
