Reading the Middle Generation Anew
Author: Eric Haralson
Publisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 1587296675
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Ten original essays by advanced scholars and well-published poets address the middle generation of American poets, including the familiar---Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, Randall Jarrell, and John Berryman---and various important contemporaries: Delmore Schwartz, Theodore Roethke, Robert Hayden, and Lorine Niedecker. This was a famously troubled cohort of writers, for reasons both personal and cultural, and collectively their poems give us powerful, moving insights into American social life in the transforming decades of the 1940s through the 1960s.In addition to having worked during the broad middle of the last century, these poets constitute the center of twentieth-century American poetry in the larger sense, refuting invidious connotations of “middle” as coming after the great moderns and being superseded by a proliferating postmodern experimentation. This middle generation mediates the so-called American century and its prodigious body of poetry, even as it complicates historical and aesthetic categorizations.Taking diverse formal and thematic angles on these poets---biographical-historical, deconstructionist, and more formalist accounts---this book re-examines their between-ness and ambivalence: their various positionings and repositionings in aesthetic, political, and personal matters. The essays study the interplay between these writers and such shifting formations as religious discourse, consumerism, militarism and war, the ideology of America as “nature's nation,” and U.S. race relations and ethnic conflicts. Reading the Middle Generation Anew also shows the legacy of the middle generation, the ways in which their lives and writings continue to be a shaping force in American poetry. This fresh and invigorating collection will be of great interest to literary scholars and poets.

The Neglected Walt Whitman

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
"This volume contains 66 texts which are essential for any serious encounter with Walt Whitman: 49 poems, 11 passages from poems, four prose texts, and one image-text. Some of these are absolutely crucial (and are so recognized by the overwhelming consensus of contemporary critics) for comprehending the radicality, the complexity and the sheer artistry of Whitman's poetic achievement. Others are equally crucial for illuminating the great sexual mystery of Whitman's biography, and, even more importantly for throwing light on the tanGLEd relationship between the "real" Walt Whitman (1819-1892) and the immortal persona he created in LEAves of Grass--"Walt Whitman, a kosmos."--Introduction (p. 2).
