American Modernist Poets

The American modernist poets created a rich legacy in their verse explorations of a world touched by war, rapid industrialization, and the growing perceived alienation of the individual. The innovators featured in this volume include Elizabeth Bishop, e.e. cummings, T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost, Marianne Moore, Ezra Pound, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Carl Sandburg, Wallace Stevens, and William Carlos Williams. Critical essays examine these poets and their works, with a chronology, bibliography, index, and an introductory essay by master scholar Harold Bloom completing the title.
