Professor Gelpi traces the emergence of American Modernist poetry as a reaction to, and outgrowth of, the Romantic ideology of the nineteenth century. He focuses on the generation of poets who came to maturity in the years of the First World War and whose works constitute the principal body of poetic modernism in English.
