 | | Good introductions are: A History of Modern Poetry (1987) by David Perkins, Modernism by Malcolm Bradbury and James McFarlane (1976/1991), A Map of Modern English Verse (1969) by John Press, Modern Poetry and the Tradition by Cleanthe Brooks (1930) and The Pound Era by Hugh Kenner (1971). |
 | | Modernist literature represents a broad plexus of concerns that are variably represented in 120 years of European writing, notably experimentation, anti-realism, individualism and intellectualism. |
 | | Everyone has their favourites, but these may be the better known poets: Wallace Stevens, E E Cummings, W H Auden, William Empson, Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, Sylvia Plath, James Wright, and Ted Hughes. |
