Rereading intra-war modernist poetics through war poetry This study examines the work of the principle architects of Anglo-American modernist poetics - T.S. Eliot, H.D., Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, Edward Thomas and Wallace Stevens - and their response to the challenge of combatant war poetries. It argues that these civilian poets sought to negotiate directly with the combatant's gnosticism, specifically with the combatant's assertion that only those present at a catastrophe could properly represent its horrors. The modernists rightly identified that gnosticism was a threat to their own representational claims on an increasingly traumatic modernity. How was the imagination to be salvaged in order that it could still feel into the wounded experience of others? In response to this challenge, the modernists drafted their own imagined war poems, developing in the process several different and contradictory poetic systems. Whereas scholarship ordinarily tells the story of intra-war modern poetry as a series of different schools - the trench lyric, the home front elegy and the modernist long poem - each moving in a different direction, this study brings those traditions back together into one history by treating them as idiosyncratic responses to the same aesthetic problem. Dr Jamie Wood is an independent scholar of Anglo-American literary modernism between 1910 and 1950. He is the author of several essays published in Biography (2018), College Literature (2018), Modernist Cultures (2015) and Modernism/modernity (2010).

After a consideration of the best lyric poetry of the Second World War the writer examines those poems which responded more fully to the challenge of the war. These are the long poems of Eliot, Pound, Bunting and MacDiarmid. Through a close reading of the poems the writer demonstrates that what these radically different poets have in common in their war poems is their use of modernist techniques to transcend the particulars of the war and to assert the resilience of the human spirit and civilisation when confronted with such an unprecedented threat.

Primarily a literary history, Women, Modernism and British Poetry, 1910-1939 provides a timely discussion of individual women poets who have become, or are becoming, well-known as their works are reprinted but about whom little has yet been written. This volume recognizes the contributions, overlooked previously, of such British poets as Anna Wickham, Nancy Cunard, Edith Sitwell, Mina Loy, Charlotte Mew, May Sinclair, Vita Sackville-West and Sylvia Townsend Warner; and the impact of such American poets as H.D., Amy Lowell, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Marianne Moore and Laura Riding on literary practice in Britain. This book primarily maps the poetry scene in Britain but identifies the significance of the network of writers between London, New York and Paris. It assesses women's participation in the diversity of modernist developments which include avant-garde experiments, quiet, but subtly challenging, formalism and assertive 'new woman' voices. It not only chronicles women's poetry but also their publications and involvement in running presses, bookshops and writing criticism. Although historically situated, it is written from the perspective of contemporary debates concerning the interface of gender and modernism. The author argues that a cohering aesthetic of the poetry is a denial of femininity through various evasions of gendered identity such as masking, male and female impersonations and the rupturing of realist modes.

With the expressions "Lost Generation" and "The Men of 1914," the major authors of modernism designated the overwhelming effect the First World War exerted on their era. Literary critics have long employed the same phrases in an attempt to place a radically experimental, specifically modernist writing in its formative, historical setting. What real basis did that Great War provide for the verbal inventiveness of modernist poetry and fiction? Does the literature we bring under this heading respond directly to that provocation, and, if so, what historical memories or revelations can be heard to stir in these words? Vincent Sherry reopens these long unanswered questions by focusing attention on the public culture of the English war. He reads the discourses through which the Liberal party constructed its cause, its Great Campaign. A breakdown in the established language of liberal modernity--the idioms of public reason and civic rationality--marked the sizable crisis this event represents in the mainstream traditions of post-Reformation Europe. If modernist writing characteristically attempts to challenge the standard values of Enlightenment rationalism, this study recovers the historical cultural setting of its most substantial and daring opportunity. And this moment was the occasion for great artistic innovations in the work of Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. Combining the records of political journalism and popular intellectual culture with abundant visual illustration, Vincent Sherry provides the framework for new interpretations of the major texts of Woolf, Eliot, and Pound. With its relocation of the verbal imagination of modernism in the context of the English war, The Great War and the Language of Modernism restores the historical content and depth of this literature, revealing its most daunting import.

In "Poems by Isaac Rosenberg," the reader is invited into a profound exploration of the human condition, war, and the nature of existence, all articulated through Rosenberg's strikingly modernist style. His poetry reflects a unique confluence of expressionism and imagery, framing the harsh realities of World War I against a backdrop of deep philosophical inquiry. Themes of displacement, despair, and beauty resonate through intricate imagery and innovative forms, revealing the tension between the personal and the broader human experience in a time of chaos. Isaac Rosenberg was an artist-poet born into a Jewish family in London, whose diverse cultural background and early influences shaped his creative expression. His experiences as a soldier during the Great War deeply informed his work, as he faced the grotesque realities of trench warfare while reflecting on his Jewish identity and the struggle for meaning in a fragmented world. His tragic death in the war only amplified the poignant and prophetic voice present in his poetry. This collection is a vital read for those interested in modernist literature, war poetry, and the intersection of art and personal identity. Rosenberg's poignant verses challenge readers to confront the intense emotions of sorrow, beauty, and resilience, making it an essential addition to any literary canon.
