| Zusammenfassung: | Hearing Things is a meditation on sound's work in literature. Drawing on the writings of critics and philosophers but especially on the comments of many poets and novelists who have pointed to the role of the ear in writing and reading, it offers a reconsideration of literature itself as an exercise in hearing things. Ranging from Alfred Tennyson to Alice Oswald, Virginia Woolf to Marilynne Robinson, Walter de la Mare to Les Murray, Angela Leighton examines various ways of listening to the printed word, while examining how writers themselves manage the expressivity of sound in their silent writings. Although her focus is on poets from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries--Alfred Tennyson, W. B. Yeats, Walter de la Mare, Robert Frost, Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Bishop, Les Murray, Jorie Graham, and Anne Stevenson--Leighton expands her scope to include letter writing, rhythm, and the difficult relationship between philosophical and literary texts. While her larger argument is always answerable to the specifics of the writer under discussion, one clear message emerges from the whole: literature by its very nature commands listening, and listening is a form of cognitive attention that has often been overlooked.-- |

INDEX 291
HEARING THINGS is a meditation on
sounds work in literature. Drawing on critical
works and the commentaries of many poets and
novelists who have paid close attention to the role
of the ear in writing and reading, Angela Leighton
offers a reconsideration of literature itself as an
exercise in hearing.
An established critic and poet, Leighton
explains how we listen to the printed word, while
showing how writers use the expressivity of
sound on the silent page. Although her focus is
largely on poets—Alfred Tennyson, W. B. Yeats,
Robert Frost, Walter de la Mare, Wallace Stevens,
Elizabeth Bishop, Jorie Graham, and Alice
Oswald—Leightons scope includes novels,
letters, and philosophical writings as well. Her
argument is grounded in the specificity of the
text under discussion, but one important message
emerges from the whole: literature by its very
nature commands listening, and listening is a
form of understanding that has often been over-
looked. Hearing Things offers a renewed call for
the kind of criticism that, avoiding the program-
matic or purely ideological, remains alert to the
work of sound in every literary text.
