Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 7 AIL 0655 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Keats's Manner
Captions available
The idea
Keats accumulates sensory detail until a scene is nearly tactile, then lets a thought arrive out of it. His figures serve immersion rather than argument. Three poets, three uses for the same devices, which is why the exam can ask about manner as well as about names.
In practice
Detail first, thought after.
Where people slip
Same devices, three different purposes.
