He considers the maturation of American poetry as a longitudinal arc, one that roughly followed the rise of the USSR through the Russian Revolution and its subsequent descent into Stalinism, opening up a hitherto underexplored domain in the political history of avant-garde literature. In doing so, Steven amplifies the resonance among the universal idea of communism, the revolutionary socialist state, and the American modernist poem. Focusing on three of the most significant figures in modernist poetry--Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, and Louis Zukofsky--Steven provides a theoretical and historical introduction to modernism's unique sense of communism while revealing how communist ideals and references were deeply embedded in modernist poetry. Moving between these poets and the work of T. S. Eliot, Langston Hughes, Muriel Rukeyser, Gertrude Stein, Wallace Stevens, and many others, the book combines a detailed analysis of technical devices and poetic values with a rich political and economic context. Persuasively charting a history of the avant-garde modernist poem in relation to communism, beginning in the 1910s and reaching into the 1940s, Red Modernism is an audacious examination of the twinned history of politics and poetry"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aHopkins studies in modernism. 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zUnited States 606 $aCommunism and literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aCommunism and literature. 676 $a811/.509112 700 $aSteven$b Mark$01043576 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467403203321 996 $aRed modernism$92468639 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04036nam 22006132c 450 001 9910511750503321 005 20200115203623.0 010 $a1-4725-1132-8 010 $a1-4742-6072-1 010 $a1-4725-9316-2 010 $a1-4725-1137-9 024 7 $a10.5040/9781472593160 035 $a(CKB)3710000000261507 035 $a(EBL)1868780 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001369781 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11758598 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001369781 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11289427 035 $a(PQKB)10179483 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1868780 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6162494 035 $a(OCoLC)1138497803 035 $a(UtOrBLW)bpp09257906 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000261507 100 $a20140829d2014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aImagining Xerxes $eancient perspectives on a Persian king $fEmma Bridges 210 1$aNew York $cBloomsbury Academic $d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (246 p.) 225 0 $aBloomsbury studies in classical reception 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-322-21523-5 311 $a1-4725-1427-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index 327 $aIntroduction: encountering Xerxes -- Staging Xerxes: Aeschylus and beyond -- Historiographical enquiry: the Herodotean Xerxes-narrative -- Xerxes in his own write?

The Greeks' historical encounter with this eastern king - which resulted, against overwhelming odds, in the defeat of the Persian army - has inspired a series of literary responses to Xerxes in which he is variously portrayed as the archetypal destructive and enslaving aggressor, as the epitome of arrogance and impiety, or as a figure synonymous with the exoticism and luxury of the Persian court. Imagining Xerxes is a transhistorical analysis that explores the richness and variety of Xerxes' afterlives within the ancient literary tradition. It examines the earliest representations of the king, in Aeschylus' tragic play Persians and Herodotus' historiographical account of the Persian Wars, before tracing the ways in which the image of Xerxes was revisited and adapted in later Greek and Latin texts. The author also looks beyond the Hellenocentric viewpoint to consider the construction of Xerxes' image in the Persian epigraphic record and the alternative perspectives on the king found in the Jewish written tradition. Analysing these diverse representations of Xerxes, this title explores the reception of a key figure in the ancient world and the reinvention of his image in a remarkable array of cultural and historical contexts 410 0$aBloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception 606 $2Ancient (Classical) Greek 607 $aGreece$xHistory$yPersian Wars, 500-449 B.C$xHistoriography 607 $aIran$xKings and rulers$vBiography 676 $a935/.705092 700 $aBridges$b Emma$01012166 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511750503321 996 $aImagining Xerxes$92550479 997 $aUNINA
