William Carlos Williams is widely acknowledged to be among the most
important American poets of the twentieth century. This collection
includes sixteen new essays from many of the world's leading
authorities on Williams, and is published to commemorate the
fortieth anniversary of his death in 1963. The volume contains
fresh assessments of the nature and extent of Williams's profound
and enduring impact on contemporary American poetic traditions,
while providing a platform for appraising the neglected achievement
of Williams as a writer of fiction and short stories. In doing so
these and other essays highlight the nature and importance of
Williams's relationship to working class life in twentieth-century
America. Additionally, the volume groups together studies focusing
on the enduring legacy of Williams's long poem, Paterson, and
essays which revise Williams's perceived neglect of
African-American and Native-American culture and history.
