the art of twentieth-century american poetry: modernism and after
charles altieri
Synopsis "the art of twentieth-century american poetry: modernism and after"
written by a leading critic, this invigorating introduction to modernist american poetry conveys the excitement that can be generated by a careful reading of modernist poems. it encourages readers to confront the difficulties involved in tackling this literature and to identify with the modernists sense of the revolutionary possibilities of their art. altieris account embraces four generations of american poets, tracing the ambitions, the disillusionments and the continuities of modernist poetry through to the 1980s. he describes how the sense of liberation created by early modernist formal experiments was followed by disappointment as the limitations of these discoveries emerged. he contends that, in response, poets such as wallace stevens and w. h. auden reformulated modernist strategies to develop new ways for poetry to take social responsibility. finally, he shows how these transformations were carried through by later poets such as elizabeth bishop, robert lowell, adrienne rich, and robert creeley.
