A magisterial exploration of poetry's place in the fine
arts by one of the twentieth century's leading poets In
this book, eminent poet Anthony Hecht explores the art of poetry
and its relationship to the other fine arts. While the problems he
treats entail both philosophic and theoretical discussion, he never
allows abstract speculation to overshadow his delight in the
written texts that he introduces, or in the specific examples of
painting and music to which he refers. After discussing
literature's links with painting and music, Hecht investigates the
theme of paradise and wilderness, especially in Shakespeare's
The Tempest. He then turns to the question of public and
private art, exploring the ways in which all the arts participate
in balances between private and public modes of discourse, and
between an exclusive or elitist role and the openly political.
Beginning with a discussion of architecture as an illustration of a
more general theme of discord and balance, the penultimate lecture
probes the inner contradictions of works of art and our reactions
to them, while the final piece concerns art and morality.
