Book Description
Supplement volumes 7-9 (a-fou, fre-poem, and poet-z) contain discussions of 376 poems from the eighth to the late twentieth century. The volumes complement the original six-volume Masterplots II: Poetry Series (1992), continuing its pagination and volume- number sequence. They extend coverage to well-known poems that were not in the original series and to more 20th-century poems--allowing more discussions of work by African Americans, Hispanic, Asian American, and American Indian writers. Entries for each selected poem begin with a description of the poem, then discuss forms and devices and themes and meanings. Quick reference information at the head of each entry includes the author, type of poem, and date of first publication. The cumulative indexes in volume nine include an index by type of poem.

Master Plots
Author: Jared Gardner
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 9780801865381
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
In Master Plots, Jared Gardner examines the tangled intersection of racial and national discourses in early American narrative. While it is well known that the writers of the early national period were preoccupied with differentiating their work from European models, Gardner argues that the national literature of the United States was equally motivated by the desire to differentiate white Americans from blacks and Indians. To achieve these ends, early American writers were drawn to fantasies of an "American race," and an American literature came to be defined not only by its desire for cultural uniqueness but also by its defense of racial purity.
