Product Description Modernist Quartet is a study of the four major American modernist poets--Frost, Stevens, Pound, Eliot--in various historical environments (literary, philosophical, gender relations, the business of capitalist economics) with special attention given to their central poetic texts as they simultaneously reflect and shape our understanding of those environments. Frank Lentricchia presents the poems as stories of the poets seeking to sustain a life in noncommercial writing, in a culture that is only hospitable, for the most part, to commercial art. | ||

A Modernist Must Have If you are interested in Modernism, which is probably the only way that you heard about this wonderful book, you need to have access to this book. It focuses on the Harvard Philosophers--Josiah Royce, William James, and George Santayana--at its beginning. Then it moves on to study Robert Frost, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, and T. S. Eliot. Even if you are not interested in any of the people specifically mentioned in the book, you will attain a better understanding of what exactly Modernism entails by reading it. | ||
