{"product_id":"9781138833302","title":"Unnoticed in the Casual Light of Day : Phillip Larkin and the Plain Style (Studies in Major Literary Authors)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLarkin's poems are often regarded as falling somewhere between the traditional 'plain' and the more contemporary 'postmodern' categories. This study undertakes a comprehensive linguistic and historical study of the plain style tradition in poetry, its relationship with so-called 'difficult' poetry, and its particular realization in the cultural and historical context of 20th-century Britain. The author examines the nature of poetry as a type of discourse, the elements of, and factors in, the development of literary styles, a close rhetorical examination of Larkin's poems within the described poetic frameworks, and his position in the British twentieth-century poetic canon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49640468283640,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":144.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781138833302-1.jpg?v=1783646342","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781138833302","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
