Insisting on the value—and even the necessity—of reading poetry for its own distinctive meaning, structure, and verbal design, Brooks argues that a poem should not be reduced to paraphrase, biography, or historical background. Instead, it must be understood as a carefully shaped verbal structure in which language, imagery, irony, paradox, rhythm, tone, and form work together to create meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThrough detailed commentary on celebrated poems in English, Brooks demonstrates the discipline of close reading and shows how poetic meaning emerges from the organic unity of the poem. His famous idea of “the heresy of paraphrase” remains central to literary study, reminding students that the meaning of a poem cannot be separated from the way it is expressed. The book discusses major poets including John Donne, William Shakespeare, John Milton, Robert Herrick, Alexander Pope, Thomas Gray, William Wordsworth, John Keats, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and W. B. Yeats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eWritten with clarity, authority, and scholarly insight, \u003cem\u003eThe Well Wrought Urn\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for students of poetry, literary theory, and textual interpretation. It offers both an introduction to close reading and a powerful argument for the complexity of poetic art. For classroom study, independent reading, or advanced critical discussion, this book continues to provide a lasting foundation for understanding how poems work and why poetic language matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLandmark text in New Criticism and close reading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWritten by influential critic Cleanth Brooks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExplains poetry as an organic verbal structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntroduces the key idea of “heresy of paraphrase.”\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiscusses major English poets and canonical poems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUseful for literary theory and criticism courses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps readers interpret irony, paradox, tone, and form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEssential for advanced poetry and textual analysis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for undergraduate and postgraduate study.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReprint edition for academic and classroom use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doaba Corporation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aumram Publications \/ Doaba Publications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmail:\u003c\/strong\u003e care@doababooks.com\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAddress:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4551-16, Shanti Mohan House, 16 Ansari Road, Daryaganj - 110002\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aumram Publications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor and on behalf of:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doaba Publications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTypeset at:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doaba Graphics, Delhi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinted and Bound in:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:none;\"\u003eThe Well Wrought Urn, Cleanth Brooks, New Criticism, literary criticism, poetry studies, close reading, heresy of paraphrase, English poetry criticism, literary theory, Doaba Publications, Aumram Publications, First Edition 1947, Reprint 2026, academic textbook, poetry interpretation\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doaba Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45604641046804,"sku":"9789391011277","price":350.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2588\/9812\/files\/ZECOM-WellWroughtUrn-258P-01.png?v=1779386273","url":"https:\/\/www.aedhaimprints.com\/products\/the-well-wrought-urn","provider":"Doaba Publications","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
