The Social Lives of Poems in Nineteenth-Century America - Material Texts
Michael C. Cohen
The Social Lives of Poems in Nineteenth-Century America illuminates the connections between poems and critical ideas about poetic genres, and tracks the emergence and disappearance of poems and poets in American culture by examining how people encountered and made sense of poetry.
Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.; Organised along a careful genealogy of ballads in the Atlantic world, this book demonstrates how the circulation of texts in songs, broadsides, letters and newsprint as well as in books, anthologies and critical essays enabled poetry to perform many different tasks. Considering the media and modes of reading through which people encountered and made sense of poems, Cohen traces the lines of critical interpretations and tracks the emergence and disappearance of poetic genres in American literary culture.
