Abstract

[In the midst of competing agendas aiming at a general reappraisal of twentieth-century literary periodization, some choose to anthologize, others theorize, more will do both—and where this article stands in that respect, let the reader decide. Presentation, exposition, interpretation, and analysis often cannot be distinguished from whatever editorial campaigning is taking place. Modernist impersonality does not apply to critical appraisals. In this light, the connection between English and American poetry may prove a very useful resource to study the legacies of modernism, providing the much-needed context that may help us dispel any notions of literary history’s critical autonomy. For what do we mostly hear or read when we think of British poetry now versus American poetry now?]
