ISBN: 0810117649 ISBN-13: 9780810117648 Publisher: Northwestern University Press OUR PRICE: $24.70 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: December 1999 Annotation: In her seminal study, first published in 1981, Marjorie Perloff argues that the map of Modernist poetry needs to be redrawn to include a central tradition that cannot properly be located within the Romantic-Symbolist tradition that dominated the early twentieth century. She traces this tradition from its early "French connection" in the poetry of Rimbaud and Apollinaire as well as in Cubist, Dada, and early Surrealist painting; through its various manifestations in the work of Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, and Ezra Pound; to such postmodern "landscapes without depth" as the French/English language constructions of Samuel Beckett, the elusive dreamscapes of John Ashbery, and the performance works of David Antin and John Cage. |
