Covering a range of cultural traditions from Britain, Ireland, North America, Japan and the Caribbean, among others, this valuable collection considers ancient genres such as the elegy, the ode, the ghazal, and the ballad, before moving on to Medieval and Renaissance genres originally invented or codified by the Troubadours or poets who followed in their wake. The book also approaches genres driven by theme, such as the calypso and found poetry. Each chapter begins by defining the genre in its initial stages, charting historical developments and finally assessing its latest mutations, be they structural, thematic, parodic, assimilative, or subversive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Notes on Contributors ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xxiv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 “To Get the News from Poems”: Poetry as Genre 3\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eJahan Ramazani\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 What Was New Formalism? 17\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eDavid Caplan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Meter 34\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeter L.
