Recenzii
Angela Leighton's carefully argued defence of form and aestheticism is an extremely useful account of the debates surrounding these terms and the uses to which they have been put - by critics and poets - from 19th century France onwards, while also offering a resource for poets and teachers
...lovely and important new book...
...absorbing study... beautifully written and richly rewarding book-replete with this sense of hope, surprise, and intrigue.
...Leighton handles language so elegantly. ...this remarkable book instructs us throughits own practice how the dynamic expression of idea may itself be a form of literary pleasure.
With a Paterian surrender to the beautiful and a Jamesian reverence for the critical proprieties of tact and attentiveness, On Form goes about its work of inspecting the unfixing of meaning without wanting to fix or finalise.
