Modernist poems are some of the twentieth-century's major cultural
achievements, but they are also hard work to read. This
wide-ranging introduction takes readers through modernism's most
famous poems and some of its forgotten highlights to show why
modernists thought difficulty and disorientation essential for
poetry in the modern world. In-depth chapters on Pound, Eliot,
Yeats and the American modernists outline how formal experiments
take on the new world of mass media, democracies, total war and
changing religious belief. Chapters on the avant-gardes and later
modernism examine how their styles shift as they try to re-make the
community of readers. Howarth explains in a clear and enjoyable way
how to approach the forms, politics and cultural strategies of
modernist poetry in English.
