This essential guide to modernist poetry enables readers to make sense of a literary movement often regarded as difficult and intimidating. * Provides close examinations of key poems by T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, W. B. Yeats, and others * Considers key techniques employed to orient and disorient the reader, such as diction, rhythm, and allusion * Explores the ideological implications of subject matter and the literary forms and structures of modernist poetry * Places modernist poetry in relation to its Victorian and Romantic predecessors * Encourages readers to engage with the texts and make their own interpretations, moving away from the question of what the poem says in favour of considering the effect of the poem on its reader

"It is well structured, well researched, clearly written, and fullof innovative insights." (M/C Reviews, September2010)
"The impressive achievement of Reading Modernist Poetryisthat it so accessibly explains the poetry (including Yeats, Eliot,Pound and William Carlos Williams) and the very wide range oftheories that have been invoked to account for its complexity. Itsmethod is to start from the basics and then proceed in acommon-sense manner, and yet it uses that mode to explain why thepoetry rejects common sense and insists on the necessity ofdifficulty. The end result is not only a book that students will beable to use very fruitfully (and its comprehensive section on'Further Reading' will also help in this respect) but also agenuine contribution to the criticism of modernistliterature."
