Elizabeth Bishop''s World War II - Cold War View

Informationen zum Autor Camille Roman is Assistant Professor of English at Washington State University, has co-edited nearly a dozen books and is currently co-editing the three volume anthology "American Poetry 1650-2000." Klappentext Elizabeth Bishop's World War II-Cold War View offers the first comprehensive portrayal of the poet in mid-century America. The elusive story of Bishop's national, cultural, and literary politics during the World War II-Cold War period is finally brought into sharp focus as the book traces her life and writing from the war years spent in Key West through her tenure as the 1949-1950 national poet laureate. Our understanding of Bishop is completely reshaped by this study's unique ability to easily move back and forth between a wide-ranging cultural critique of mid-twentieth-century America and a careful, close, and chronological reading of the poet. Roman's study is ideal for students of American poetry, contemporary poetry, and American literature.
