The Degenerate Muse by Robin G Schulze

The Degenerate Muse by Robin G Schulze

The early twentieth century marked a dramatic shift in the American conception of nature. This book analyzes the ways in which the scientific recasting of American nature as an antidote for degeneration influenced work of important modernist writers Harriet Monroe, Ezra Pound, and Marianne Moore.

Ultimately, by redefining nature's role in American literature as one of intellectual fertility rather than stagnation, Robin Schulze constructs a convincing case for the idea that American literary modernism succeeded in making nature itself modern* Serena Gosden, The Times Literary Supplement *
Cultural, intellectual, and environmental historians with a strong interest in the literature and poetry of period will find this book useful. * Gregory Dehler, Environmental History *
