Grace After Meat

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Grace After Meat' is a foundational collection of verse by John Crowe Ransom, one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century American literature and a primary architect of the New Criticism movement. This volume captures Ransom's shift toward the precise, ironic, and highly structured style that became his hallmark. The poems contained within investigate the tensions between traditional belief and modern skepticism, often utilizing the rural landscapes of the American South as a canvas for broader philosophical inquiries.Ransom's work is distinguished by its intellectual depth and its meticulous attention to formal constraints, blending a sophisticated vocabulary with themes of domestic life, mortality, and the complexities of human morality. By employing a detached, almost courtly tone, the poet examines the contradictions of the soul with both wit and solemnity. 'Grace After Meat' serves as a vital document of the Fugitive poets' contribution to the literary landscape, reflecting the aesthetic and cultural concerns that defined the Southern Renaissance. For scholars and lovers of poetry alike, this collection offers an evocative look at the development of a master craftsman whose work continues to resonate for its rhythmic beauty and insightful observations on the human experience.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
