"The following essays have as their theme the “ translation” of three conventional tropes in ancient and medieval poetry: the long simile of Homer and his imitators, the personified landscape of Roman pastoral, and the nature parallelism of the medieval love lyric. This book describe the uses of natural imagery in a few of the classic loci of each trope and to assess some of the conceptual and rhetorical demands to which these uses answered. Then selected a later version of the trope and considered the ways in which the imagery and its analogical function changed as these demands lost some of their original force or were supplanted by new ones.

"How does a literary text get to have literary form, and what is the relation between literary form and linguistic form? This theoretical study of linguistic structure in literature focuses on verse and narrative from a linguistic perspective. Nigel Fabb provides a simple and realistic linguistic explanation of poetic form in English from 1500–1900, drawing on the English and American verse and oral narrative tradition, as well as contemporary criticism. In recent years literary theory has paid relatively little attention to form; this book argues that form is interesting. Fabb offers a new linguistic approach to how metre and rhythm work in poetry, based on pragmatic theory and provides a pragmatic explanation of formal ambiguity and indeterminacy and their aesthetic effects. He also uses linguistics to examine the experience of poetry. Language and Literary Structure will be welcomed by students and researchers in linguistics, literary theory and stylistics."
