Book
Romanticism and Contemporary Poetry and Poetics Public Deposited
- Abstract
This volume of Romantic Circles Praxis Series includes an editor's introduction by Lisa M. Steinman, essays by Charles Altieri, Robert Kaufman, and Ellen Keck Stauder.
In this volume, three divergent critics--representing Romanticism, contemporary poetry, and more formal concerns, such as prosody and rhythm--present analyses of five contemporary poets viewed in relationship to several different strains of Romantic poetry or theory.
Charles Altieri reflects on Wordsworth, Arnold, Williams, and the contemporary poetry of Lyn Hejinian and Leslie Scalapino. Robert Kaufman discusses the problematics and uses of Romantic difficulty from Kant through Benjamin, Adorno and the Frankfurt School, to the work of Barbara Guest and Michael Palmer. Finally, Ellen Stauder explores how Mark Doty, through his use fo description and affect, construes and reconstructs the poetry of Keats. All three essays make creative conjectures as to what Romanticism looks like to actively producing poets right now, as well as what constitutes the most compelling contemporary poetic practices.
Romantic poetry, these essays show, has in one way or another set the agenda for contemporary poetics, bequething multiple, and somewhat conflicting, legacies to twentieth-(and twenty-first) century poetry. These essays show that the often disharmonous conversation in which they are engaged is Romanticism's chief legacy to contemporary poetics.
