Table of ContentsReviews"""Liesl Yamaguchi's beautifully written and carefully argued book investigates the role played by vowel color in nineteenth and early twentieth century theories about language, from Indo-European linguistics, to French Symbolist poetics, to the science of acoustics. The idea that the notion of vowel color is crucial for the development of free verse as a modern poetic category is explosive and exciting. With clarity and precision, Yamaguchi zeroes in on one of the most stubbornly nebulous categories in the linguistic and poetic tradition.""---Sarah Pourciau, Duke University" ""Liesl Yamaguchi's beautifully written and carefully argued book investigates the role played by vowel color in nineteenth and early twentieth century theories about language, from Indo-European linguistics, to French Symbolist poetics, to the science of acoustics.
