By the end of the period covered, Eliot's \u003ci\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/i\u003e, Lawrence's \u003ci\u003eBirds, Beasts and Flowers\u003c\/i\u003e, Stevens's \u003ci\u003eHarmonium\u003c\/i\u003e, and Pound's \u003ci\u003eDraft of XVI Cantos\u003c\/i\u003e had been published, and the first post-Eliot generation of poets was beginning to emerge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore than a hundred poets are treated in this volume, and many more are noticed in passing. David Perkins discusses each poet and type of poetry with keen critical appreciation. He traces opposed and evolving assumptions about poetry, and considers the effects on poetry of its changing audiences, of premises and procedures in literary criticism, of the publishing outlets poets could hope to use, and the interrelations of poetry with developments in the other arts--the novel, painting, film, music--as well as in social, political, and intellectual life. The poetry of the United States and that of the British Isles are seen in interplay rather than separately. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is an important contribution to the understanding of modern literature. At the same time, it throws new light on the cultural history of both America and Britain in the twentieth century.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmbracing an exciting era of poetic ferment, this book traces the modern movement from its beginnings to its vital prime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 640\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.67 x 8.18 x 5.52 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 16, 1979\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45836209094853,"sku":"9780674399457","price":93.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/bGxjbVB4dzgvRTVEbnB3Q2M1OVVzUT09.webp?v=1771263531","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/a-history-of-modern-poetry-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
