Charlotte Ann Melin Poetic Maneuvers All Books sku-637756385

Charlotte Ann Melin's Poetic Maneuvers is an All Books hardcover, sku-637756385, and the first English-language study of Hans Magnus Enzensberger's poetry. It examines how he connected poetry with ethical questions after the Holocaust and challenged prevailing aesthetic and social values. Melin considers his full poetic program alongside discussions by German writers, translators and theorists, including Jürgen Habermas and Theodor Adorno, rather than focusing solely on his political views or controversial texts. She relates changes in poetic style to questions of representation, identity and ethics in the second half of the twentieth century. Her account of literary trends after 1945 also examines shifting national boundaries and tastes, the relationship of American poets William Carlos Williams and Carolyn Forché to German verse, and American-European literary relations.You may also like Charlotte Ann Melin All Books Paperback sku-845366721.
