Books by Frank Lentricchia

An ideal entrance into the fictional world of the novelist described as "the greatest unknown writer in America." This thrilling selection of Lentricchia's fiction showcases much of his best work, underlining the themes that have preoccupied him and offering readers an astonishing range of set pieces filled with surging lyricism, abrupt violence, and outrageous humor.

A study of the four major American modernist poets (Frost, Stevens, Pound, Eliot) in various historical environments (literary, philosophical, gender relations, the business of capitalist economics) with special attention given to their central poetic texts as they both reflect and shape our understanding of those environments.
