[New-Poetry] American Modernism

[Alan C Golding]

Jeff,

The potential list is awfully long, as I'm sure you can imagine, but one place to start for your purposes might be the recent essay collection edited by Walter Kalaidjian, Cambridge Guide to American Modernism.  Part of what's useful in this gathering is that it reflects all the changes in thinking about and definitions of modernism since Kenner organized *his* version of modernism around 4-5 male authors.  I still think *The Pound Era* is a great book, but I also think it belongs to the history of modernist criticism rather than offering a perspective that's still viable in 2007.

All best,

Alan
