About the Book
• The Well Wrought Urn by Cleanth Brooks is a seminal work in literary criticism that emphasizes the importance of the "organic unity" of a poem.
• Brooks discusses how poetry should be understood on its own terms, focusing on its formal structure and the relationship between the poem's content and form.
• The book contains essays that analyze works by major poets such as John Donne, Andrew Marvell, and others, offering insights into how they use language, metaphor, and symbolism.
• Cleanth Brooks advocates for a close reading approach, where the poem's language is examined in detail to reveal its full meaning.
• This work is foundational for students and scholars of literary theory and criticism, especially for those interested in New Criticism and its methods of analyzing literature.
• A must-have for anyone studying the mechanics of poetry and literary form.
