Hearing Things is a meditation on sound's work in literature. Although her focus is largely on poets--Alfred Tennyson, W. B. Drawing on critical works and the commentaries of many poets and novelists who have paid close attention to the role of the ear in writing and reading, Angela Leighton offers a reconsideration of literature itself as an exercise in hearing.An established critic and poet, Leighton explains how we listen to the printed word, while showing how writers use the expressivity of sound on the silent page.
Her argument is grounded in the specificity of the text under discussion, but one important message emerges from the whole: literature by its very nature commands Yeats, Robert Frost, Walter de la Mare, Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Bishop, Jorie Graham, and Alice Oswald--Leighton's scope includes novels, letters, and philosophical writings as well.
