In her seminal study, first published in 1981, Marjorie Perloff argues that the map of modernist poetry needs to be redrawn so as to include a central tradition that cannot properly be located within the Romantic-Symbolist tradition that dominated the early twentieth century. She traces this tradition from its early "French connection" in the poetry of Rimbaud and Apollinaire as well as in Cubist, Dada, and early Surrealist painting; through its various manifestations in the work of Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, and Ezra Pound; to such postmodern "landscapes without depth" as the French/English language constructions of Samuel Beckett, the elusive dreamscapes of John Ashbery, and the performance works of David Antin and John Cage. What we loosely call "Modernism, " Perloff contends, was itself a time of tension between rival though often interwoven strains: the Symbolist mode that Yeats, Eliot, and Stevens inherited from Baudelaire and Mallarme, and, beyond them, from the great English Romantic poets; and the "anti-Symbolist" or "literalist" poetics of indeterminacy, whose first real exemplar was the Rimbaud of the Illuminations. In the poetry of this "other tradition, " ambiguity and complexity give way to inherent contradiction and undecidability, metaphor and symbol to metonymy and synecdoche, the well-wrought urn to what Ashbery calls "an open field of narrative possibilities, " and the coherent structure of images to "mysteries of construction, " non-sense, and free play.
