 Book Description There have been many books on early modernist poetry, not so many on its various sequels, and still fewer on the currents and cross-currents of poetry since World War II. Until now there has been no single comprehensive history of British and American poetry throughout the half century from the mid-1920s to the recent past. This David Perkins is uniquely equipped to provide; only a critic as well informed as he in the whole range of twentieth-century poetry could offer a lucid, coherent, and structured account of so diverse a body of work. Perkins devotes major discussions to the later careers of the first Modernist poets, such as Eliot, Pound, Stevens, and Williams, and to their immediate followers in the United States, E. E. Cummings, Archibald MacLeish, and Hart Crane; to W. H. Auden, Dylan Thomas, and the period style of the 1930s; to the emergence of the New Criticism and of a poetry reflecting its tenets in......

The Death-Bound-Subject : Richard Wrights Archaeology of Death (Post-Contemporary Interventions) Abdul R. JanMohamed
![The Death-Bound-Subject : Richard Wrights Archaeology of Death (Post-Contemporary Interventions) Abdul R. JanMohamed Book DescriptionDuring the 1940s, in response to the charge that his writing was filled with violence, Richard Wright replied that the manner came from the matter, that the ?relationship of the American Negro to the American scene [was] essentially violent,? and that he could deny neither the violence he had witnessed nor his own existence as a product of racial violence. Abdul R. JanMohamed provides extraordinary insight into Wright’s position in this, the first study to explain the fundamental ideological and political functions of the threat of lynching in Wright’s work and thought. JanMohamed argues that Wright’s oeuvre is a systematic and thorough investigation of what he calls the death-bound-subject, the subject who is formed from infancy onward by the imminent threat of death. He shows that with each successive work, Wright delved deeper into the question of how living under a constant menace of physical violence affected his protagonists and how... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин]( http://www.ozon.ru/multimedia/books_covers/0822334887.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg "The Death-Bound-Subject : Richard Wrights Archaeology of Death (Post-Contemporary Interventions) Abdul R.
