GENDERS, RACES AND RELIGIOUS
CULTURES IN MODERN AMERICAN POETRY,

Genders, Races, and Religious Cultures in Modern American Poetry
,
Rachel Blau DuPlessis shows how, through poetic language, mod-
ernist writers represented the debates and ideologies concerning
New Woman, New Negro, and New Jew in the early twentieth
century. From the poetic text emerge such social issues of moder-
nity as debates on su
rage, sexuality, manhood, and Afro-
American and Jewish subjectivities. By a reading method she calls
“social philology” – a form of close reading inflected with the
approaches of cultural studies – DuPlessis engages with the work of
such canonical poets as Wallace Stevens, Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot,
William Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein, Marianne Moore, and
H.D., as well as Vachel Lindsay, Mina Loy, Countee Cullen, Alfred
Kreymborg, and Langston Hughes, writers, she claims, still mar-
ginalized by existing constructions of modernism. This book is an
ambitious attempt to remap our understanding of modern poetries
and poetics, and the relationship between early twentieth-century
writing and society.
