Bruns does something remarkable: he makes accessible the theoretical issues involved in the discussion of language as discourse versus that used in art. On one side, we have the language of Orpheus that seeks to unite poetry and man's experience in the world; and on the other--what Bruns calls the "hermetic tradition"--we have language used purely for literary and artistic ends, as exemplified in the works of Rabelais, Fl ..." |

 | | Modern Poetry and the Idea of Language A Critical and Historical Study by Gerald L.
