In this book, Jerome McGann argues that contemporary language-oriented writing implies a marked change in the way we think about our poetic tradition on one hand and in the future of criticism on the other. He focuses on Walter Benjamin and Gertrude Stein as important intellectual resources because both see the history of poetry as a crisis of the present rather than as a legacy of the past. The crisis appears as a poetic deficit in contemporary culture, where values of politics and morality are judged pri 410 0$aModern and contemporary poetics. 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aExperimental poetry, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature) 606 $aPoetics 606 $aCriticism 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aExperimental poetry, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aPoetics. 615 0$aCriticism. 676 $a811/.509112 700 $aMcGann$b Jerome J$0156716 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778237703321 996 $aThe point is to change it$93796318 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04298nam 2200637 a 450 001 9910960776103321 005 20230725031412.0 010 $a9786613239280 010 $a9781283239288 010 $a1283239280 010 $a9781572337947 010 $a157233794X 035 $a(CKB)2670000000092544 035 $a(OCoLC)729256142 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10471908 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000520892 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11337639 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000520892 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10514909 035 $a(PQKB)10941862 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC692529 035 $a(OCoLC)726734871 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse14662 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL692529 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10471908 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL323928 035 $a(Perlego)4876282 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000092544 100 $a20101029d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAndrew Johnson's Civil War and reconstruction /$fPaul H.

Taking office after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, he clashed constantly with Congress during the tumultuous early years of Reconstruction. He opposed federally-mandated black suffrage and the Fourteenth Amendment and vetoed the Freedmen's Bureau and Civil Rights bills. In this new book, Paul H. Bergeron, a respected Johnson scholar, brings a new perspective on this often vilified figure. Previous books have judged Johnson out of the context of his times or through a partisan lens. But this volume-based on Bergeron's work as the editor of The Papers of Andrew Johnson-takes a more balanced approach to Johnson and his career. Admiring Johnson's unswerving devotion to the Union, Lincoln appointed him as military governor of Tennessee, a post, Bergeron argues, that enhanced Johnson's executive experience and his national stature. While governor, Johnson implemented the emancipation of slaves in the state and laid the foundation for a new civilian government. Bergeron also notes that Johnson developed a close connection with the president which eventually resulted in his vice-presidential candidacy. In many respects, therefore, Johnson's Civil War years served as preparation for his presidency. Bergeron moves beyond simplistic arguments based on Johnson's racism to place his presidency within the politics of the day. Putting aside earlier analyses of the conflict between Johnson and the Republican Radicals as ideological disputes, Bergeron discusses these battles as a political power struggle. In doing so, he does not deny Johnson's racism but provides a more nuanced and effective perspective on the issues as Johnson tried to pursue the "politics of the possible." Bergeron interprets Johnson as a strong-willed, decisive, fearless, authoritarian leader in the tradition of Andrew Jackson. While never excusing Johnson's inflexibility and extreme racism, Bergeron makes the case that, in proper context, Johnson can be seen at times as a surprisingly effective commander-in-chief-one whose approach to the problems of reestablishing the Union was defensible and consistent. With its fresh insight on the man and his times, Andrew Johnson's Civil War and Reconstruction is indispensable reading for students and scholars of the U.S. presidency and the Civil War and Reconstruction periods. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1849-1877 615 0$aPresidents 676 $a973.8/1092 676 $aB 700 $aBergeron$b Paul H.$f1938-$01699284 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960776103321 996 $aAndrew Johnson's Civil War and reconstruction$94353367 997 $aUNINA
