Making extensive use of archival materials by Sylvia Plath, John
Berryman, and Anne Sexton, Amanda Golden reframes the relationship
between modernism and midcentury poetry. While Golden situates her
book among other materialist histories of modernism, she moves
beyond the examination of published works to address poets'
annotations in their personal copies of modernist texts. A
consideration of the dynamics of literary influence, Annotating
Modernism analyzes the teaching strategies of midcentury poets and
the ways they read modernists like T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, Ezra
Pound, Virginia Woolf, and W. B. Yeats. Situated within a larger
rethinking of modernism, Golden's study illustrates the role of
midcentury poets in shaping modernist discourse.

Ted Hughes · New insights from Plath’s previously unpublished
letters and writings · Plath’s broadcasting work for the BBC
Providing new approaches to her life and work, this book is an
indispensable volume for scholars of Sylvia Plath.
One of America's most influential women writers, Anne Sexton has
long been overshadowed by fellow confessional poets Sylvia Plath
and Robert Lowell and is seldom featured in literary criticism.
This volume reassesses Sexton and her poetry for the first time in
two decades and offers directions for future Sexton scholarship.
Mapping Sexton's influence on twenty-first-century cultural
contexts, these essays emphasize her continuing vitality.
Long overshadowed by fellow confessional poets Sylvia Plath and
Robert Lowell, Anne Sexton seldom features in literary criticism,
despite being one of America's most influential women writers. Now
in this much-needed volume Sexton and her poetry are reassessed for
the first time in two decades. With new access to her archives, the
scholars and poets featured here consider Sexton's wide range of
literary production: how it shaped her creative process, informs
readings of her work, and reveals her efforts to build a successful
career without a university education. Notable in presenting Sexton
the educator and public figure, This Business of Words also
considers her relationships with peers and various media and
interprets her strategies for teaching, critiquing poems, and
delivering readings. As they revisit their initial encounters with
Sexton as readers, writers, and teachers, the contributors to this
volume map the influence of her craft on twenty-first-century
culture.

A prolific artist, writer, designer, and political activist, the
work of William Morris remains remarkably powerful and relevant
today. But how do you teach someone like Morris who made
significant contributions to several different fields of study? And
how, within the exigencies of the modern educational system, can
teachers capture the interdisciplinary spirit of this polymath,
whose various contributions hang so curiously together? Teaching
William Morris gathers together the work of nineteen Morris
scholars from a variety of fields, offering a wide array of
perspectives on the challenges and the rewards of teaching William
Morris. Across the book’s five sections – “Art and Design,”
“Literature,” “Political Contexts,” “Pasts and
Presents,” and “Digital Humanities” – readers will learn
the history of Morris’s place in the modern curriculum, the
current state of the field for teaching Morris’s work today, and
how this pedagogical effort is reaching beyond the classroom by way
of books, museums, and digital resources.
