{"product_id":"9780192857095","title":"Lyric And Liberalism In The Age Of American Empire (Oxford English Monographs)","description":"What is the difference between the 'I' of a poem--the lyric subject-- and the liberal subject of rights? Lyric and Liberalism in the Age of American Empire uses this question to re-examine the work of five major American poets, changing our understanding of their writing and the field of post-war American poetry. Through extended readings of the work of Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Lowell, Amiri Baraka, John Ashbery, and Jorie Graham, Hugh Foley shows how poets have imagined liberalism as a problem for poetry. Foley's book offers a new approach to ongoing debates about the nature of lyric by demonstrating the entanglement of ideas about the lyric poem with the development of twentieth-century liberal discussions of individuality. Arguing that the nature of American empire in this period--underpinned by the discourse of individual rights--forced poets to reckon with this entanglement, it demonstrates how this reckoning helped to shape poetry in the post-war period. By tracing the ways a lyric poem performs personhood, and the ways that this person can be distinguished from the individual envisioned by post-war liberalism, Foley shows how each poet stages a critique of liberalism from inside the standpoint of 'lyric'\u0026gt;. This book demonstrates the capacities of poetry for rethinking its own relation to history and politics, providing a new perspective on a vital era of American poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eHugh Foley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eOxford University Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eDec 14, 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e256 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0192857096\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780192857095\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49116900262193,"sku":"9780192857095","price":114.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9780192857095.jpg?v=1714635828","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/es\/products\/9780192857095","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
