Gendered Modernisms: American Women Poets and Their Readers
Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1996. Softcover. 8vo. 352 pp. University of Pennsylvania Press Anniversary Collection. Thirteen [13] original essays on Gertrude Stein, H. D., Marianne Moore, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Laura [Riding] Jackson, Elizabeth Bishop, Muriel Rukeyser and Gwendolyn Brooks demonstrate how these women expanded the social, textual, and political boundaries of modernism. The collection places these poets in the context of their times, examining the conditions that helped shape their vivid and diverse poetic careers and reconsidering some of the assumptions that have led to their exclusion from the main narratives of modernist poetry. An important collection. Fine in wraps. Item #513241
