Closely analyzing hundreds of reviews and critical essays, Karen L. Kilcup tracks the century's developing aesthetic standards and highlights the different criteria reviewers used to assess poetry based on poets' class, gender, ethnicity, and location. She shows that, as early as the 1820s, critics began to marginalize some kinds of emotional American poetry, a shift many scholars have attributed primarily to the late-century emergence of affectively restrained modernist ideals. Mapping this literary critical history enables us to more readily apprehend poetry's status in American culture-both in the past and present-and encourages us to scrutinize the standards of academic criticism that underwrite contemporary aesthetics and continue to constrain poetry's appeal"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Emotions in literature. 650 0 $a Aesthetics, American $x History. 650 0 $a Criticism $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z United States $x History. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kilcup, Karen L., $t Who killed American poetry? $d Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press, 2019. $z 9780472126019 $w (DLC) 2019032089 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024532.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303021927.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E37D1D50471C11EA8C4E586797128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
