Modern Poetry
Langdon Hammer reads the body of modern poetry — Yeats through Eliot to Auden and Bishop — in twenty-five Yale lectures that treat poems as made things: how the lines work, what the difficulty is for, why it mattered. Twentieth-century literature’s high style, taught at full seriousness.
