In this 2000 collection, an international team of contributors
contest the conventional critical view of modernism as a
transnational or supranational entity. They examine relationships
between modernist poetry and place, and foreground issues of region
and space, nation and location in the work of poets such as Ezra
Pound, Wallace Stevens and Marianne Moore. The book brings the work
of major canonical writers into juxtaposition with more neglected
modernists such as Basil Bunting and Dylan Thomas, writers whose
investment in the concepts of region and nation, it is argued,
contributed to their relative marginalisation. These essays offer a
fascinating perspective on contemporary valuations of modernism
through their investigation of some of the Anglo-American locations
of modernism, and assess the regional and nationalist affiliations
of modernist poetry. The Locations of Literary Modernism maps a
topography of poetic modernism that is quite different from what
had hitherto been accepted as comprehensive.
