This book examines Donald M. Allen's crucially influential poetry
anthology The New American Poetry, 1945-1960 from the perspectives
of American Cold War nationalism and literary transnationalism,
considering how the anthology expresses and challenges Cold War
norms, claiming post-war Anglophone poetic innovation for the
United States and reflecting the conservative American society of
the 1950s. Examining the crossroads of politics, social life, and
literature during the Cold War, this book puts Allen's anthology
into its historical context and reveals how the editor was
influenced by the volatile climate of nationalism and politics that
pervaded every aspect of American life during the Cold War.
Reconsidering the dramatic influence that Allen's anthology has had
on the way we think about and anthologize American poetry, and
recontextualizing The New American Poetry as a document of the Cold
War, this study not only helps us come to a more accurate
understanding of how the anthology came into being, but also
encourages new ways of thinking about all of Anglophone poetry,
from the twentieth century and today.
