Canon formation: that s been the focus of the largest issues in literary studies of the last decade. Alan Golding s book shows in fine detail how the idea of nationhood has repeatedly fueled our recurrent Culture Wars. In efforts to construct first an American poetry and later a modern poetry the aesthetes and the cultural politicians have been beating each other with stichs and strophes from the beginning. This book s sharp anatomy takes us from the first American anthologies right up to the newest industrial product, The Norton Anthology of Postmodern Poetry (1994). Readers of American poetry can t afford to miss Golding. Robert von Hallberg, University of Chicago " I feel genuinely elated by this important historical study. Its revelations about canon formation and change in American poetry revise our perceptions of an astonishing range of materials from anthologies of the eighteenth century, to little magazines of the 1950s, to the Language poetry of the 1990s. The lively clarity of Golding s style and argument will insure a broad audience.
