SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book is based on the thesis that there is a definite link between romanticism and modernism, despite obvious differences. Gelpi considers 11 representative poets, such as Eliot, Pound, Stevens, Williams, and Ransom. He also touches on Robinson and Moore, and provides close readings of a number of poems to illustrate his point. ISBN 0-521-34533-2: $34.50.
