Modern American Poetry by Louis Untermeyer

Book Cover
"Modern American Poetry" by Louis Untermeyer is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. This anthology reflects the evolution of American poetry from the late 19th century onward, showcasing the diverse voices and styles that emerged in response to significant cultural shifts. The collection is likely centered around the works of notable poets like Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, who represent foundational influences on the subsequent generation of Americanwriters. At the start of this anthology, the preface sets the stage for the exploration of modern American poetry, highlighting the transition from the pre-Civil War literary tradition to a more vigorous expression reflecting the realities of post-war America. Untermeyer discusses the impact of poets such as Whitman, who broke away from traditional forms and embraced a more democratic and accessible style, as he critiques the earlier literary establishment for its detachment from the evolving American spirit. This opening lays the groundwork for understanding the breadth and significance of the works included in the anthology, which promises a rich tapestry of themes and styles that redefine American poetry.
