American Poetry and the First World War connects American poetry to
the political and economic forces behind American participation in
World War I. Dayton investigates the ways that poetry was used to
imagine the war and studies a wide range of poetry: open and closed
form, formal and colloquial, well-known and unknown. In a chapter
on Edith Wharton, Dayton demonstrates that many of the features of
poetry also found expression in prose about the war. Seeing the war
as the opening bid in American ascent to global hegemony, Dayton
unlocks some of the ways that literature provided a means by which
to accept - and occasionally contest - the price to be paid for
power. American Poetry and the First World War draws on a wide
range of reading in the primary texts of the period, archival
research, historical materialist theory, and work in political and
economic history and international relations.
