Klappentext zu „The Case for Cummings “
'The Case for Cummings' shows how E.E. Cummings hasbecome fixed in criticism due to a misreading of his work bycritics. Many critics in the 1920s were hostile to Cummings,forcing Cummings' supporters to either defend or apologise for him. Thus, in the 1920s pro-Cummingsian critics defined and fixed the 'battleground' - collectively collating Cummings''themes' - love, spring, satire, individualism, and transcendence -yet these areas became the very source of attack fromanti-Cummingsian critics. This investigation, utilizing the literary theoriesof Derrida, Bakhtin, Foucault, Bloom, and Cixous, among others, aims toshow how both sides have misread Cummings' work and in doing sosees a 'new' Cummings emerge, a Cummings who appears less fixed incriticism, who is more complex and richer in scope than firstthought, and whose work demands major re-evaluation.
