Books by Albert Gelpi

Presents illuminating reflections on the achievements of poet Denise Levertov.

Enormously well-received when first published, this 1992 re-issue of The Tenth Muse considers the debate between intellect and passion apparent in the work of poets from Bradstreet to Rich.

Professor Gelpi traces the emergence of American Modernist poetry as a reaction to, and outgrowth of, the Romantic ideology of the nineteenth century. He focuses on the generation of poets who came to maturity in the years of the First World War and whose works constitute the principal body of poetic modernism in English.
