"Modernist poems are some of the twentieth-century's major cultural achievements, but they are also hard work to read. This wide-ranging introduction takes readers through modernism's most famous poems and some of its forgotten highlights to show why modernists thought difficulty and disorientation essential for poetry in the modern world. In-depth chapters on Pound, Eliot, Yeats and the American modernists outline how formal experiments take on the new world of mass media, democracies, total war and changing religious belief. Chapters on the avant-gardes and later modernism examine how their styles shift as they try to re-make the community of readers. Howarth explains in a clear and enjoyable way how to approach the forms, politics and cultural strategies of modernist poetry in English"-- Poetry, Modern 20th century History and criticism. 8535 Modernism (Literature) 58415 Cambridge introductions to literature. 58416 Cover image http://assets.cambridge.org/97805217/64476/cover/9780521764476.jpg 7 cbc orignew 1 ecip 20 y-gencatlg ddc BOOK 40398 310018 0 2017-08-03 0 0 821.91209112 HPC 2017-08-03 CL 00656080 CL 2017-08-03 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2017-08-03 0 0 821.91209112 HPC 2017-08-03 CL 00656081 CL 2017-08-03 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2017-08-03 0 0 821.91209112 HPC 2017-08-03 CL 00656082 CL 2017-08-03 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2017-08-04 0 0 821.91209112 HPC 2017-08-04 SGF 00656471 SGF 2018-02-06 2018-10-08 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 1 0 2017-08-04 0 0 821.91209112 HPC 2017-08-04 SGF 00656472 SGF 2017-08-04 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2017-08-04 0 0 821.91209112 HPC 2017-08-04 IC 00656473 IC 2017-08-04 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0 0 2017-08-04 0 0 821.91209112 HPC 2017-08-04 IC 00656474 IC 2017-08-04 00:00:00 BOOK ddc 0
