This book explores the relationships between four modernist poets
and the museums that helped shape their writing. During the early
twentieth century, museums were trying to reach a wider audience
and used displayed objects to teach that audience about art,
culture, and ecology. Writers such as Yeats, Pound, Moore, and
Stein borrowed strategies and techniques from museums in order to
create literary modernism. "Poetry in the Museums of Modernism"
places these writers' poetry and prose within the context of
specific gallery spaces, curatorial practices, displayed objects,
and exhibition objectives of the museums that inspired them,
exposing the ways in which literary modernism is linked to museums.
Although critics have attested to the importance of the visual arts
to literary modernists and have begun to explore the relationships
between literary production and social institutions, before now no
one has examined the particular institutions in which modernist
poets found the artworks, specimens, and other artifacts that
inspired their literary innovations. Catherine Paul's book offers
the reader a fresh encounter with modernism that will interest
literary and art historians, literary theorists, critics, and
scholars in cultural studies and museum studies.
Catherine Paul is Associate Professor of English, Clemson
University.
