Eliot -- Wallace Stevens -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexBeginning with an essay on the history and theory of poetic argument, he traces its patterns through Romantic and Modernist literature. He divides his subject into three areas: the paradoxes of reason, language, and argument. Poetic Argument surveys the writings of the five poets in light of what has to be "proved" and identifies the characteristic styles of proof for each. For example, in the chapter on Marianne Moore, Kertzer studies two expressions of poetic argument. The first regards poetry as a waking dream, combining the powers of sleep and calculation. The second, derived from Imagism, treats poetry as a special way of seeing. Kertzer suggests that the combination of these two elements produces Moore's characteristically intricate, but inconclusive, forms of argument.American poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismModernism (Literature)United StatesModernism (Literature)Great BritainAmerican poetryHistory and criticism.English poetryHistory and criticism.Modernism (Literature)Modernism (Literature)821/.9109Kertzer Jonathan1946-324610MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782725503321Poetic argument3791421UNINA
