Produktinformationen zu „A Companion to Twentieth-Century Poetry (PDF)“
In the twentieth century more people spoke English and more people
wrote poetry than in the whole of previous history, and this
Companion strives to make sense of this crowded poetical
era. The original contributions by leading international scholars
and practising poets were written as the contributors adjusted to
the idea that the possibilities of twentieth-century poetry were
exhausted and finite. However, the volume also looks forward to the
poetry and readings that the new century will bring.
The Companion embraces the extraordinary development of
poetry over the century in twenty English-speaking countries; a
century which began with a bipolar transatlantic connection in
modernism and ended with the decentred heterogeneity of
post-colonialism. Representation of the 'canonical' and the
'marginal' is therefore balanced, including the full integration of
women poets and feminist approaches and the in-depth treatment of
post-colonial poets from various national traditions. Discussion of
context, intertextualities and formal approaches illustrates the
increasing self-consciousness and self-reflexivity of the period,
whilst a 'Readings' section offers new readings of key selected
texts. The volume as a whole offers critical and contextual
coverage of the full range of English-language poetry in the last
century.
