Sharpe (English, Barnard College, Columbia U.) shows how poets from Blake to Williams have constructed "unreal" or archetypal cities from such materials as the biblical accounts of Cain's exile and Babel's confusion, the Whore of Babylon and virginal New Jerusalem. Drawing on Barthes, Benjamin, and Lacan, he offers new readings of the title poets. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
