Description

"Through close readings of a wide range of his poems, prose, letters, and manuscripts, this book shows how Hart Crane created an alternative form of literary modernism, queering modernist experience. It goes beyond representations of sexuality in the texts to show how Crane employs queerness as an intellectual strategy in order to challenge these areas of modernist concern. Whilst the study engages with debates current within modernist studies, such as geography, spatial form, the material world, and the influence of technology, it also shows how recent concepts within queer theory such as the antisocial thesis and debates over temporality can help us to read Crane's work differently. The book challenges existing versions of Crane as a 'difficult' poet, and suggests the means by which other queer modernists might be re-read in light of this discussion of Crane's work. "--
