Description

Review Ehlers's archives come to life most vividly when the interpretive conclusions she infers from context&8202;--&8202;often the promised payoff of archival scholarship&8202;--&8202; are not just explanatory but open-ended. Her attention to documentary is . . . the most revelatory part of Ehlers's return to interwar American poetry. -GenreGuided by a historical methodology devoted to archival retrieval, Ehlers salvages a Communist contribution to the lyrical form that recovers conceptions of community, meter, and accessibility. This achievement reveals that what scholars today recognize as conventional writing and reading practices are actually informed by a deeply anti-communist trajectory. --Against the CurrentThis impressive, meticulously researched book makes a substantial contribution to the study of the literary left in depression-era American literary history. --Journal of American HistoryCompelling. . . . Ehlers proposes a reconsideration of the way in which we understand the politics of poetic forms. --American Literary History Product Description In this incisive study, Sarah Ehlers returns to the Depression-era United States in order to unsettle longstanding ideas about poetry and emerging approaches to poetics. By bringing to light a range of archival materials and theories about poetry that emerged on the 1930s left, Ehlers reimagines the historical formation of modern poetics. Offering new and challenging readings of prominent figures such as Langston Hughes and Muriel Rukeyser, and uncovering the contributions of lesser-known writers such as Jacques Roumain, Genevieve Taggard, and Martha Millet, Ehlers illuminates an aesthetically and geographically diverse matrix of schools and movements. Resisting the dismissal of thirties left writing as mere propaganda, the book reveals how communist-affiliated poets experimented with poetic modes―such as lyric and documentary―and genres, including songs, ballads, and nursery rhymes in ways that challenged existing frameworks for understanding the relationships among poetic form, political commitment, and historical transformation. As Ehlers shows, Depression left movements and their international connections are crucial for understanding both the history of modern poetry and the role of poetic thought in conceptualizing historical change. About the Author Sarah Ehlers is assistant professor of English at the University of Houston.
