Tracing its origins back to Walt Whitman, the Modernist tradition
in American poetry is driven by the same concern to engage with the
world in revolutionary terms, inspired by the concept of democracy
vital to the American dream. But this tradition is not confined to
a few writers at the beginning of the century: instead it has been
an enduring force, extending from coast to coast and of varying
hues: Imagist, Objectivist, Beat. International in flavour but
shaped by the language and conditions of America, this poetry
continues to speak to us today. This collection of specially
commissioned essays brings together leading scholars and critics to
define the American Modernist canon, providing a range of
perspectives helpful to all those interested in this fascinating
poetry.
