A Spirit of Two Ages: The Romantic Modernism of Carl Sandburg’s Chicago Poems

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

This chapter explores the influence of British Romanticism - its emphasis on the splendors of nature, the wonder of the sublime, the rehabilitation of outcasts, and, above all, the lure of revolutionary change - on Carl Sandburg’s 1916 collection, Chicago Poems. The chapter concludes that Chicago Poems, a book many associate with the advent of modernism, looks instead like the vestiges of Romanticism.
