<p>The term ‘lyric’ has evolved, been revised, redefined and contested over the centuries. In this fascinating introduction, Scott Brewster:</p> <ul> <li>traces the history of the term from its classical origins through the early modern, Romantic and Victorian periods and up to the twenty-first century</li> <li>demonstrates the influence of lyric on poetic practice, literature, music and other popular cultural forms</li> <li>uses three aspects — the lyric ‘self’, love and desire and the relationship between lyric, poetry and performance — as focal points for further discussion</li> <li>not only charts the history of lyric theory and practice but re-examines assumptions about the lyric form in the context of recent theoretical accounts of poetic discourse.</li> </ul> <p>Offering clarity and structure to this often intense and emotive field, <b>Lyric</b> offers essential insights for students of literature, performance, music and cultural studies.</p>
