The Modern Poets: A Critical Introduction

Macha Louis Rosenthal

4.9/5 (23388 ratings)

Description:What are the modern poets saying and doing? What makes their work live? What does it reveal about our time? In searching for a definition, Professor Rosenthal leads the reader systematically to the specific poems of important British and American poets. The result is an illuminating introduction to their character, problems, and achievements, to their art, and to the qualities of the modern mind. Considered here are the transitional poets, Hopkins and Hardy; the founders of the modern tradition, Yeats, Pound, and Eliot; the other modern masters of an older generation, Robinson, Frost, Williams, Stevens, MacDiarmid, Muir, Moore, Cummings, Sandburg, and Jeffers; the "prophetic" poets, Lawrence, Crane, Auden, and others; and the poets of "exquisite chaos," Thomas and Lowell, the New Academy, the Black Mountain Poets, and the California Renascents. Professor Rosenthal emphasizes the individual powers and contributions of each poet through extensive quotation. At the same time he examines the relationships of style, feeling, and thought among them all. His book offers an appreciation of our most eloquent expressions of "that crisis of personality the modern mind has had to face for more than a century."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
