Explore the intricate elements of poetry with Dr. Jane Olmsted's "Introduction to Literature." This text delves into the structure of poems, including stanzas, line breaks, end-stopped lines, and enjambment. It also examines the concept of persona—the voice adopted by the poet—and questions whether the “I” in the poem aligns with the poet's true identity. Additionally, it discusses various forms of irony, including verbal, dramatic, and cosmic irony, offering readers a deeper understanding of poetic expression and meaning.
