Walpert argues that contemporary poetry offers a palimpsest of resistance, using as case studies the poets Alison Hawthorne Deming, Pattiann Rogers, Albert Goldbarth, and Joan Retallack to trace the recapitulation of romantic arguments (inherited from Keats, Shelly, and Coleridge, which in turn were produced in part in response to Newtonian physics), moderniRoutledge interdisciplinary perspectives on literature ;3.American poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismScience in literatureLiterature and scienceUnited StatesHistory20th centuryElectronic books.American poetryHistory and criticism.Science in literature.Literature and scienceHistory811/.540936Walpert Bryan.965126MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461493203321Resistance to science in contemporary American poetry2189586UNINA
