Opis

Modernist poetry, in its fragmented form, continues to intrigue readers. In this sequel to A Flowering Word (Peter Lang, 2000), Noriko Takeda clarifies the modernist schism s meaningful role as a productive furnace for both interpretive humanness and its own solid concretization. The discussed main works are Stephane Mallarme s Herodiade, T. S. Eliot s Old Possum s Book of Practical Cats, and shorter poems in foregrounded lyricality by these two writers."
