Klappentext "This volume argues very powerfully that nineteenth-century American poetry encompasses much more than Whitman and Dickinson. This is an indispensable book . . . ." -- Camille Roman Zusammenfassung This marks a milestone in the resurgence of the study of the rest. It features poets! like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Lydia Huntley Sigourney! who were famous in their day! as well as poets who were marginalised on the basis of their race or their sociopolitical agenda. It also takes a fresh look at poets whose work has been dismissed as sentimental! genteel! or didactic.
