Cinematic Modernism

"Susan McCabe juxtaposes the work of four American modernist poets with the techniques and themes of early twentieth-century avant-garde films. The historical experience of the First World War and its aftermath of broken and shocked bodies shaped a preoccupation with fragmentation in both film and literature. Film, montage, and camera work provided poets with a vocabulary through which to explore and refashion modern physical and metaphoric categories of the body, including the hysteric, automaton, bisexual, and femme fatale. This study explores the impact of new cinematic modes of representation on the poetry of Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, H.D., and Marianne Moore. Cinematic Modernism links the study of literary forms with film studies, visual culture, gender studies, and psychoanalysis to expand the usual parameters of literary modernism."--Jacket.
