American Poet Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) was educated in the
classics from an early age and published his first book of poetry
in 1912. Most of Jeffers' work is distinguished by strong elemental
narratives set in the California Carmel/Big Sur area. His imagery
often puts the rugged beauty of the landscape in opposition to the
degraded and introverted condition of modern humanity. Jeffers'
themes draw on classical and biblical sources from his early
education, and his strong interest in Nietzsche's concept of
individualism. Many of his contemporaries erroneously regarded him
as a nihilist. This collection of essays attempts to illustrate the
art and complexity of Jeffers, while presenting new insights into
his work and its perception among his contemporaries. The essayists
are Robert Brophy, Alex Vardamis, Robert Zaller, Terry Beers, Tim
Hunt, David J. Rothman, Alan Soldofsky, Kirk Glaser, and William
Everson. The essays represent a range of critical points of
entry-some are on the cutting-edge of criticism and break new
ground, others attempt to place Jeffers in the established
perspectives of Western civilization's Christian humanism and
American poetry's landscape-centered mysticism. The collection
constitutes some of the most conversant and active research in the
field of Jeffers studies. The critiques speak to the nature of
Jeffer's poetry- how it challenged both the minds and hearts of its
readers and prompted them to carefully define their own values and
authentically find their own center.
