Author Description
Two of Oxford's most comprehensive collections, Anthology of Modern American Poetry, edited by Cary Nelson, and Anthology of Twentieth-Century British and Irish Poetry, edited by Keith Tuma, are now available as an economical two-volume package. Ideal for Modern Poetry, Twentieth-Century Literature, and Introduction to Poetry courses, these two books provide a very extensive selection of vital twentieth-century poetry. Each volume presents both canonical and lesser-known selections, including the work of many poets who have not been anthologized before.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This two-volume collection investigates the breadth and evolution of twentieth-century poetic expression across American, British, and Irish traditions. Editors Cary Nelson and Keith Tuma curate an extensive selection of verse designed to serve as a foundational resource for academic study. By combining canonical works with previously unanthologized pieces, the collection provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing the stylistic shifts and thematic concerns of the modern era.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- A dual-volume survey covering American, British, and Irish poetry from the twentieth century.
- A pedagogical framework suitable for introductory and advanced literature courses.
- A mix of established canonical texts and recovered works from lesser-known poets.
- Editorial commentary providing historical and cultural context for the selected poems.
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts and educators frequently cite this set as a primary resource for university-level literature curricula due to its wide-ranging scope. Readers note that the inclusion of non-canonical poets provides a more nuanced view of the century than standard single-volume anthologies.
