This book features a collection of essays on some of the key poets
of post-war America, written by leading scholars in the field. All
the essays have been newly commissioned to take account of the
diverse movements in American poetry since 1945, and also to
reflect, retrospectively, on some of the major talents that have
shaped its development. In the aftermath of the Second World War,
American poets took stock of their own tumultuous past but faced
the future with radically new artistic ideals and commitments. More
than ever before, American poetry spoke with its own distinctive
accents and declared its own dreams and desires. This is the era of
confessionalism, beat poetry, protest poetry, and avant-garde
postmodernism. This book explores the work of John Berryman, Robert
Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, Adrienne Rich, and Sylvia Plath, as well
as contemporary African American poets and new poetic voices
emerging in the 21st century. This New Casebook introduces the
major American poets of the post-war generation, evaluates their
achievements in the light of changing critical opinion, and offers
lively, incisive readings of some of the most challenging and
enthralling poetry of the modern era.
