| REZUMAT: |
This book presents the class, racial and gender conflicts of the United States in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s as they were ideologically inscribed in the poetry of the period. This is possible because literature is connected to social issues like tradition, convention, norms, forms, symbols, myths. It is linked to a certain social, economic and political system. The discourses of literature speak about currents of political and cultural, and social meanings that shaped the American society of those times. The diverse facets of difference, such as class, race, and gender, are reflected in multiple representations of clash and conflict, of power, of anxiety and uncertainty concerning the problem of individual and national identity. |
