   What is historical poetics?

   • In this mode, historical poetics aims both to restore poems to their proper historical moment and to show how poems work across history. The history to be valued in such cases is not a ground or world beyond the poem, but the event of the poem itself. If poetics customarily deals with generalities, history seems to insist on particulars.

Or without jettisoning the truth claims of history in favor of poetic invention?

   What is the historical significance of a poem?

   • These methods allow critics to tell histories of poetry and to reveal a history in poetry. The cultural history of poetic forms thus becomes a history of social thought and practice conducted through poetry. For other critics, however, the historical significance of a poem lies instead in the way it challenges the poetics of its time.
