{ Imagism and Modernism in The Wasteland We wanna be different and new!

No more sentimentality! No subjective emotionalism! No conventional versification (meter and rhyme)! No Romanticism! (rejection of Wordsworth’s style) Imagist Movement 1910

 Any subject (no sense that something isn’t worthy of poetry)  Common speech/free verse  Hard, clear, concentrated images without comment  Shows writer’s response to visual object through metaphor or juxtaposition Imagist Movement

Poets: Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, HD (Hilda Doolittle), Marianne Moore, Amy Lowell “poetic vogue”, died quickly because it was restrictive, but has influenced poets since. Imagist Movement

“Deliberate and radical break with traditional bases of Western culture and art.” Revolt against traditional literary forms and subjects as a response to the war Modernism (post WWI)

 T.S. Eliot and James Joyce (Ulysses, 1922) led the way.  Related art movements: Cubism, Futurism, Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism  Concept of avant-garde: small self- conscious group of artists who aim to “make it new.” Often feel alienated from the established order and aim to shock the conventional reader and change the norms. Modernism (post WWI)

 Post WWII, response to the war.  Break from modernism which was now seen as conventional (ha!)  Themes: meaninglessness of existence, the void/nothingness on which our security is based  Absurd, Beat, deconstructionism, reader-response, anxiety of influence Postmodernism
