Poems Containing History: Twentieth-Century American Poetry's Engagement With The Past

This book argues that twentieth-century American poetry has "contained" and helped its readers to think about history in a variety of provocative and powerful ways. This book shows that even as history evolves into a professional discipline in the late nineteenth century, twentieth-century American poets continue to take history as the subject of their poems.
