| Summary | This course examines the relationship between aesthetic innovation (loosely codified as modernism and postmodernism) and cultural politics through a reading of ten twentieth-century poets. Particular attention will be paid to the poetic reconfiguration of landscape and "place" as a vehicle for the constitution and deconstitution of cultural and political identities. Readings of individual bodies of work will be supplemented by perspectives drawn from modern critical theory. |
