- Synopsis
- Three decades ago, renowned literary expert Robert Alter radically expanded the horizons of biblical scholarship by recasting the Bible as not only a human creation but a work of literary art deserving studied criticism. InThe Art of Biblical Poetry, his companion to the seminalThe Art of Biblical Narrative, Alter takes his analysis beyond narrative craft to investigate the use of Hebrew poetry in the Bible. Updated with a new preface, myriad revisions, and passages from Alter’s own critically acclaimed biblical translations,The Art of Biblical Poetryis an indispensable tool for understanding the Bible and its poetry.
