Summary:

A monograph devoted to critical study of the acclaimed poet, scholar, translator, Anne Carson. The book covers a wide range of Carson's writing and performance work, combining close critical analysis with wider-angle commentary on the contemporary significance and originality of Carson's project. The book will be of interest to academics and postgraduate students of contemporary literature, poetics, literary theory, performance, and classics, and to educated lay readers interested in getting to grips with the complex interplay of original composition and critical response - playing with the limits of poetry, narrative, translation, and academic essays - in the work of this extraordinary contemporary author.
