Modernist poetry heralded a radical new aesthetic of
experimentation, pioneering new verse forms and subjects, and
changing the very notion of what it meant to be a poet. This volume
examines T.S. Eliot, T.E. Hulme and Ezra Pound, three of the most
influential figures of the modernist movement, and argues that we
cannot dissociate their bold, inventive poetic forms from their
profoundly engaged theories of social and political reform.
Tracing the complex theoretical foundations of modernist
poetics, Rebecca Beasley examines:
- the aesthetic modes and theories that formed a context for
modernism
- the influence of contemporary philosophical movements
- the modernist critique of democracy
- the importance of the First World War
- modernism's programmes for social reform.
This volume offers invaluable insight into the modernist
movement, as well as demonstrating the deep influence of the three
poets onthe shape and values of the discipline of English
Literature itself. Theorists of Modernist Poetry is relevant not
only to students of modernism, but to all those with an interest in
why we study, teach, read and evaluate literature the way we
do.
