WiSe 20/21: PS-Surveying English Literatures: Modernism in Poetry
Richard Marklew
Comments
Defining modernism and identifying it in the poetry of the 20th century has always been a particularly difficult and contentious activity. The parameters of modernist poetry as a period vary wildly depending on whether we take a broadly cultural and historicist stance that conceives of modernist poetry as a response to major social upheavals, or one that attempts to reckon with certain formal innovations and resuscitations of traditions. This course aims to balance these two perspectives by reading central poets that have been associated with modernism in English poetry (Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Basil Bunting) and more contended figures (Louis MacNeice, J.H. Prynne, Tom Raworth), keeping open the debate into what constitutes modernism in poetry.
