Lyric and Liberalism in the Age of American Empire uses this question to re - examine the work of five major American poets changing our understanding of their writing and the field of post - war American poetry. Through extended readings of the work of Elizabeth Bishop Robert Lowell Amiri Baraka John Ashbery and Jorie Graham Hugh Foley shows how poets have imagined liberalism as a problem for poetry. Foley's book offers a new approach to ongoing debates about the nature of lyric by demonstrating the entanglement of ideas about the lyric poem with the development of twentieth - century liberal discussions of individuality. Arguing that the nature of American empire in this period - - underpinned by the discourse of individual rights - - forced poets to reckon with this entanglement it demonstrates how this reckoning helped to shape poetry in the post - war period. By tracing the ways a lyric poem performs personhood and the ways that this person can be distinguished from the individual envisioned by post - war liberalism Foley shows how each poet stages a critique of liberalism from inside the standpoint of lyric'\u0026gt;. This book demonstrates the capacities of poetry for rethinking its own relation to history and politics providing a new perspective on a vital era of American poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Lyric And Liberalism In The Age Of American Empire\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Foley Hugh (Teaching Fellow In English Queen Mary University Of London)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780192857095\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 256 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 12\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Oxford English Monographs\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Literary Studies: Poetry \u0026amp; Poets","brand":"Foley Hugh (Teaching Fellow In English Queen Mary University Of London)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49591849320753,"sku":"IN-G-9780192857095","price":109.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780192857095.jpg?v=1753221161","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780192857095-lyric-and-liberalism-in-the-age-of-american-empire","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
