In the Shadow of Parnassus: Zoe Akins's Essays on American Poetry - Hardcover
Synopsis
Between 19 February and 13 August 1915, Zoe Akins, still in the early years of a long and varied writing career that included poetry, fiction, Broadway plays, Hollywood screenplays, and a Pulitzer Prize for drama, wrote a series of twenty-three weekly essays on the new American poetry entitled In the Shadow of Parnassus: A Critical Anthology of Contemporary American Poetry for the prestigious urban weekly, Reedy's Mirror. In this lively, distinctive, intelligent, and wonderfully readable series she reviewed the work of over sixty contemporary poets - Robert Frost, Vachel Lindsay, Amy Lowell, Edgar Lee Masters, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Edward Arlington Robinson, Ezra Pound, and Sara Teasdale among them - members of a generation of writers whose innovative experiments continue to shape our poetry.

Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. Between 19 February and 13 August 1915, Zoe Akins, still in the early years of a long and varied writing career that included poetry, fiction, Broadway plays, Hollywood screenplays, and a Pulitzer Prize for drama, wrote a series of twenty-three weekly essays on the new American poetry entitled In the Shadow of Parnassus: A Critical Anthology of Contemporary American Poetry for the prestigious urban weekly, Reedy's Mirror. In this lively, distinctive, intelligent, and wonderfully readable series she revied the work of over sixty contemporary poets - Robert frost, Vachel Lindsay, Amy Lowell, Edgar Lee Masters, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Edward Arlington Robinson, Ezra Pound, and Sara Teasdale among them - members of a generation of writers whose innovative experiments continue to shape our poetry. A career writer for over fifty years Akins epitomizes the self-styled new woman of the early twentieth century who thought of work as the new mode of romance. She is thus not only a fascinating figure in and for herself but also a significant emblem of historical and cultural conditions, changes, and configurations of the modern professional woman writer. 273 pp. We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
