It critically examines the close connection between American lyric poetry and a burgeoning US state surveillance apparatus from 1920 to the 1960s. The book explores the myriad ways that poets-Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, W.H. Auden, Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, Sylvia Plath, Gertrude Stein, Robert Lowell, Allen Ginsberg and others-explored a developing and fraught environment in which the growing power of American investigative agencies, such as the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, imposed new pressures on cultural discourse and personal identity. In analysing twentieth-century American poetry and its various ideas about "the self," Lyric Eye demonstrates the extent to which poetry and surveillance employ similar styles of information-gathering such as observation, overhearing, imitation, abstraction, repurposing of language, subversion, fragmentation and symbolism. Ground-breaking and prescient, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literature, politics, surveillance and intelligence studies, and digital humanities"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 168-179) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: The observed of all observers -- Towards a theory of the lyric eye -- Hoover's optics: Bureau reading and impractical criticism -- Surveillance poetics abroad -- Surveillance poetics at home -- Conclusion: Poetry in the age of data surveillance. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a American poetry $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Lyric poetry $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Privacy in literature. 650 0 $a Literature and state. 650 0 $a Electronic surveillance in literature. 650 7 $a American poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807348 650 7 $a Electronic surveillance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00907477 650 7 $a Police patrol $x Surveillance operations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068642 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sumner, Tyne Daile. $t Lyric eye $d Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003019954 $w (DLC) 2021034266 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D7DAD4DAEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
