In this overview of twentieth-century American poetry, Jennifer
Ashton examines the relationship between modernist and
postmodernist American poetics. Ashton moves between the iconic
figures of American modernism - Stein, Williams, Pound - and
developments in contemporary American poetry to show how
contemporary poetics, specially the school known as language
poetry, have attempted to redefine the modernist legacy. She
explores the complex currents of poetic and intellectual interest
that connect contemporary poets with their modernist forebears. The
works of poets such as Gertrude Stein and John Ashbery are
explained and analysed in detail. This major account of the key
themes in twentieth-century poetry and poetics develops important
ways to read both modernist and postmodernist poetry through their
similarities as well as their differences. It will be of interest
to all working in American literature, to modernists, and to
scholars of twentieth-century poetry.
