This volume situates the work of American poet Charles Olson
(1910-1970) at the centre of the early post-war American
avant-garde. It shows Olson to have been one of the major advocates
and theorists of American modernism in the late 1940s and early
1950s; a poet who responded fully and variously to the political,
ethical, and aesthetic urgencies driving innovation across
contemporary American art. Reading Olson's work alongside that of
contemporaries associated with the New York Schools of painting and
music (as well as the exiled Frankfurt School), the book draws on
Olson's published and unpublished writings to establish an original
account of early post-war American modernism. The development of
Olson's work is seen to illustrate two primary drivers of formal
innovation in the period: the evolution of a new model of political
action pivoting around the radical individual and, relatedly, a
powerful new critique of instrumental reason and the Enlightenment
tradition. Drawing on extensive archival research and featuring
readings of a wide range of artists including, prominently, Barnett
Newman, Mark Rothko, David Smith, Wolfgang Paalen, and John Cage,
Charles Olson and American Modernism offers a new reading of a
major American poet and an original account of the emergence of
post-war American modernism.
