Description

Elisa New challenges prevailing critical views of American poetry and vision in this compelling scholarly work from Harvard University Press. By examining the American poetic tradition through the lens of pragmatism, New contests the argument that American sight is inherently possessive or imperialistic. Instead, she presents a passionate defence of poetry's power to see more fully and less invasively than dominant interpretations of American literature suggest. This used book in good condition offers readers a fresh perspective on how American poems perceive the world and develop a distinctive mode of national representation. New's work reconceptualises the ethics of perception in poetry and explores the broader possibilities of American sight beyond the framework of national ideology. Essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts of American poetry, literary history, and the philosophy of vision.

This Harvard University Press publication examines how American poems see more fully and less invasively than critical accounts of national ideology allow.

New develops arguments about the distinctive ways American poetry draws on and advances modes of national vision distinct from invasive or possessive sight.
