It will help readers to understand and analyze modern and contemporary poems. The first part of the book deals with the transition from the nineteenth-century lyric to the modernist poem, focussing on the work of major modernists such as Robert Frost, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, Marianne Moore, and W. C. Williams. In the second half of the book, the focus is on groups such as the poets of the Harlem Renaissance, the New Critics, the Confessionals, and the Beats. In each chapter, discussions of the most important poems are placed in the larger context of literary, cultural, and social history. 410 0$aCambridge introductions to literature. 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a811/.509 700 $aBeach$b Christopher$0573538 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450317603321 996 $aCambridge introduction to twentieth-century American poetry$91058047 997 $aUNINA
