This essential guide to modernist poetry enables readers to make
sense of a literary movement often regarded as difficult and
intimidating.
* Provides close examinations of key poems by T. S. Eliot, Ezra
Pound, W. B. Yeats, and others
* Considers key techniques employed to orient and disorient the
reader, such as diction, rhythm, and allusion
* Explores the ideological implications of subject matter and the
literary forms and structures of modernist poetry
* Places modernist poetry in relation to its Victorian and
Romantic predecessors
* Encourages readers to engage with the texts and make their own
interpretations, moving away from the question of what the poem
says in favour of considering the effect of the poem on its
reader
