A landmark work in Australian literary criticism, The New Cratylus: Notes on the Craft of Poetry presents A. D. Hope's authoritative meditations on the art and discipline of verse-making. Drawing its title from Plato's dialogue on language and meaning, the collection argues with wit and intellectual rigour that poetry is a craft governed by principles that can be studied, understood, and mastered. Hope chronicles his own poetic philosophy through a series of penetrating essays, illuminating the relationship between form, language, and meaning with the confidence of a poet who is also a formidable scholar. Published by Oxford University Press, this volume stands as an essential text for anyone serious about the theory and practice of poetry, cementing Hope's reputation as one of the twentieth century's most incisive voices on the craft.
