A grammar of iconism

Anderson systematically discusses onomatopoeia, synaesthesia and other forms of iconism as they appear in poetic texts. The author draws eclectically from anthropological and historical linguistics in his examination of the aesthetic and rhetorical functions of iconism in English poetry from Old English times to the present.
