Description: "Reading Peter Reading is the first comprehensive study in English of Reading's oeuvre, illuminating its thematic and formal concerns, paradoxes and development as well as underlining its major status in contemporary literature. The book is based on Isabel Martin's pioneering doctoral dissertation on Reading, awarded the State Prize of Kiel University. Its updated, detailed textual analysis will help readers' understanding of the poetry, and as a whole it provides a thorough and substantial basis for any future critical discussion of Reading's works."--Jacket.
