      abstract = {"Modernist poems are some of the twentieth-century's major  cultural achievements, but they are also hard work to read.  This wide-ranging introduction takes readers through  modernism's most famous poems and some of its forgotten  highlights to show why modernists thought difficulty and  disorientation essential for poetry in the modern world.  In-depth chapters on Pound, Eliot, Yeats and the American  modernists outline how formal experiments take on the new  world of mass media, democracies, total war and changing  religious belief. Chapters on the avant-gardes and later  modernism examine how their styles shift as they try to  re-make the community of readers. Howarth explains in a  clear and enjoyable way how to approach the forms, politics  and cultural strategies of modernist poetry in English"--},
