Inscription and Modernity charts the vicissitudes of inscriptive
poetry produced in the midst of the great and catastrophic
political, social, and intellectual upheavals of the late 18th to
mid 20th centuries. Drawing on the ideas of Geoffrey Hartman, Perry
Anderson, Fredric Jameson, and Jacques Ranciere among others, John
MacKay shows how a wide range of Romantic and post-Romantic poets
(including Wordsworth, Clare, Shelley, Holderlin, Lamartine,
Baudelaire, Blok, Khlebnikov, Mandelstam, and Rolf Dieter
Brinkmann) employ the generic resources of inscription both to
justify their writing and to attract a readership, during a complex
historical phase when the rationale for poetry and the identity of
audiences were matters of intense yet productive doubt."
