Description: An essay by Albert Gelpi.
Albert Gelpi on postmodern poetry "The Genealogy of Postmodernism: Contemporary American Poetry" Despite the fact that terms embracing large cultural ideologies-- Romanticism, Modernism, Postmodernism--change their protean shape and color in different hands and perspectives, they are necessary in defining and comparing successive periods of cultural history. In fact, the very imprecision of such epithets--the fact that they enfold inconsistencies and rest in contradictions and paradoxes--allows us to identify and trace the volatile play and counterplay of issues and values as a given period defines itself in relation to is antecedents and sets the terms for what will develop from it.
