Eliot, Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Robert Frost, H.D., Wallace Stevens, and Marianne Moore broke with their predecessors to create the premises for literary innovation.

How new modern poetry really is, what legacy it carried over from the past and which innovations it bestowed upon everything that followed will be discussed in this seminar.
