Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is like new. xvi/346 pages. "In her seminal study, first published in 1981, Marjorie Perloff argues that the map of Modernist poetry needs to be redrawn to include a central tradition which cannot properly be situated within the Romantic-Symbolist tradition dominating 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 Danvid Antin and John Cage. What we loosely call Modernism, Perloff says, 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," and free play.".

"Ms. Perloff's case is seductively and persuasively argued; her writing is by turns luminous, impassioned, and instructive. The essays on Rimbaud and John Ashbery are among my favorites in this highly intriguing book."--The Antioch Review. "Her approach pays especially handsome dividends when it comes to such frequently misunderstood writers as Gertrude Stein and John Ashbery."--The American Book Review. "THE POETICS OF INDETERMINACY will help academics revise the canon of modernism. Not only does Perloff rescue important writers from the fringe, but she also reevaluates the work of celebrated writers."--Contemporary Literature. Pristine paperback's cover features the Paul Klee drawing 'Phantom's Oath,' brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Seller Inventory # RUB1928
