The Cambridge Companion to Nineteenth-Century American Poetry Résumé

The Cambridge Companion to Nineteenth-Century American Poetry Kerry Larson (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)

This Companion is the first critical collection of its kind devoted solely to American poetry of the nineteenth century. It covers a wide variety of authors, many of whom are currently being rediscovered. A number of anthologies in the recent past have been devoted to the verse of groups such as Native Americans, African-Americans and women. This volume offers essays covering these groups as well as more familiar figures such as Dickinson, Whitman, Longfellow and Melville. The contents are divided between broad topics of concern such as the poetry of the Civil War or the development of the 'poetess' role and articles featuring specific authors such as Edgar Allan Poe or Sarah Piatt. In the past two decades a growing body of scholarship has been engaged in reconceptualizing and re-evaluating this largely neglected area of study in US literary history - this Companion reflects and advances this spirit of revisionism.

The Cambridge Companion to Nineteenth-Century American Poetry Avis

"This lively collection is the first book of its sort to examine an expanse of 19th-century American poetry, the canon of which postmodern literary studies largely ignores, and to embrace an operant revisionist literary history and scholarship." --Choice
