In American Poetic Materialism from Whitman to Stevens, Mark Noble
examines writers who rethink the human in material terms. Do our
experiences correlate to our material elements? Do visions of a
common physical ground imply a common purpose? Noble proposes new
readings of Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, William James,
George Santayana and Wallace Stevens that explore a literary
history wrestling with the consequences of its own materialism. At
a moment when several new models of the relationship between human
experience and its physical ground circulate among critical
theorists and philosophers of science, this book turns to poets who
have long asked what our shared materiality can tell us about our
prospects for new models of our material selves.
