The Modernist Human

Modernist poetry, in its fragmented form, continues to intrigue readers. In this sequel to A Flowering Word (Peter Lang, 2000), Noriko Takeda clarifies the modernist schisms meaningful role as a productive furnace for both interpretive humanness and its own solid concretization. The discussed main works are Stphane Mallarms Hrodiade, T. S. Eliots Old Possums Book of Practical Cats, and shorter poems in foregrounded lyricality by these two writers.
