To the enduring question of the human value of poetry, Cook (comparative literature, English, and classics, Brown U.) answers that, even making allowances for the relativity of canons, subjectivity, and expectations, poetry provides a kind of wisdom not available in any other form of human discourse. He calls up Adorno, Heidegger, and Renaissance literature for support. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
