Poetry

Stephen Crane

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "Poetry," Stephen Crane presents a profound exploration of the human condition through evocative imagery and innovative verse. This collection, characterized by its modernist tendencies, defies conventional poetic forms, reflecting the tumultuous spirit of the late 19th century. Crane's succinct yet poignant style captures the raw emotions of life amidst the chaos of war, love, and existential despair, demonstrating his exceptional ability to convey complex ideas in deceptively simple language. The poems navigate through themes of nature, mortality, and the search for meaning, resonating deeply with the reader in a socio-political context charged with uncertainty and transformation. Stephen Crane, renowned for his landmark novel "The Red Badge of Courage," utilized his experiences as both a war correspondent and a young author to inform his poetic sensibilities. Born in 1871, Crane's tumultuous life, marked by early success and untimely death, impelled him to explore the depths of human emotion and the realities of his era. His keen observation of society's struggles and nuances positions him as a pivotal figure in transitioning American literature from romanticism to modernism. "Poetry" is a must-read for those fascinated by the evolution of American poetry and the interplay between experience and expression. Crane's work challenges the norms of his time, making it essential reading for anyone who wishes to grasp the profound complexities of human emotion and the literary innovations of the late 19th century.

Valeska Matti

This is a tribute to the work of Emily Dickinson and Sara Teasdale, two of the greatest representatives of -female- American literature.

Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) is, without a doubt, one of the most renowned representatives of American Classic Poetry. Her poems and unique writing style, although largely unknown before her passing, have had a remarkable influence on American literature. 
Sara Teasdale (1884 – 1933), on the other hand, was favored with success and recognition for her writing, having won the first edition of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Nevertheless, in more recent times she hasn’t enjoyed nearly as much recognition as Dickinson.
