Publisher's Synopsis
This book concerns several aspects of literary theory: the constraints upon any language at any time; the healing rhythms available to the production of drama; and the omnipresent vigor of Greek drama, in the background of the western dramatic tradition. These themes have moved in and out of the author's sixty-five works of poetry, philosophy and literary argumentation. The dominant conviction pervading all these works is that the imagination has the power to establish new worlds in language, and that such an establishment is a perennial home for constructive thought.
