description: Aiming to provide an analysis of J.H. Prynne's poetry for those to whom it is familiar, and also an introduction for the benefit of readers to whom it is new, this book examines Prynne's work in relation to traditions of romanticism and modernism, recent theory, debates about modernism and postmodernism, political questions of discourse and power, and the implications of lyrical uses of scientific and technical material. The impetus for these discussions is provided by detailed, exploratory readings of individual poems and sequences from the mid-1960s to the late 1980s.
