Introduction to modernist poetry Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2012. 264 p. Cambridge introductions to literature HKBU Library "Modernist poems are some of the twentieth-century's major cultural achievements, but they are also hard work to read. This wide-ranging introduction takes readers through modernism's most famous poems and some of its forgotten highlights to show why modernists thought difficulty and disorientation essential for poetry in the modern world. In-depth chapters on Pound, Eliot, Yeats and the American modernists outline how formal experiments take on the new world of mass media, democracies, total war and changing religious belief. Chapters on the avant-gardes and later modernism examine how their styles shift as they try to re-make the community of readers. Howarth explains in a clear and enjoyable way how to approach the forms, politics and cultural strategies of modernist poetry in English"-- Poetry, Modern 20th century History and criticism. 198728 Modernism (Literature) = C.1 SDU GBE lcc 105531 105531 0 0 lcc 0 PN1271 H853 C2012 0 CGB 279222 SDU SDU GEN3 2025-08-26 2 0 PN1271 H853 C 2012 1000374366 2025-08-26 00:00:00 C.1 2025-08-26 GBE
