Preview
In an award winning book of literary scholarship, Sacks explores the functions as well as forms of convention and provides an interpretive study of the elegy as a genre. ''The English Elegy'' is an ambitious and humane book, an eloquent work on the poetry of mourning. (Poetry)

""Sacks's careful readings, full of suggestive and learned observations ranging from the lexical to the mythic, give this booka cumulative effect that is almost as moving as the elegies themselves.""
