Like no other period in American history, the twentieth century has
produced a great flourishing of critics who not only wrote poetry,
but also published criticism dealing directly with the text and
aesthetics of poems. Beginning with John Crowe Ransom's "Wanted: An
Ontological Critic" and closing with John Ciardi's "How Does a Poem
Mean?", R. S. Gwynn has assembled many of the pivotal essays
written by these poet-critics over the last fifty years, some long
out of print. From the pens of a dozen authors, such as Robert Penn
Warren, Louise Bogan, Allen Tate, Delmore Schwartz, and Randall
Jarrell, the essays were written in an atmosphere of practicality.
It was a time when critical readings of poetry elucidated the poem
rather than the external ideologies and theories of the critic,
when criticism was accessible to the educated, common reader.
