Imaginary Gardens: A Study of Five American Poets

Rosemary Sprague

4.9/5 (11032 ratings)

Description:Five women of genius were all touched by a special fire, a great intensity, a unique sensitivity, and an understanding of beauty--these traits, the underlying currents, the influences which helped mold them and, especially, their ideas concerning poetry and the workings of the creative spirit are the aspects of these poets which Rosemary Sprague considers.Emily Dickinson, alone in Amherst, a genius of whom her family, the townspeople and the world were unaware, was the first real giant in American poetry who also happened to be a woman. The intensity of her great passion for life and to love came to light only after her death.Amy Lowell, the New England rebel, wrote some of the finest imagist poetry of her time. Generations have loved her "A Garden by Moonlight," "Purple Grackles," "Patterns," and "Lilacs." The young Bohemians, reminiscent of Elizabeth Peabody in her independence of spirit, not only broke new ground in experimenting with poetic forms, but later shocked the world with her clothes and unpredictable ways.Sara Teasdale, a gentle shy girl from St. Louis, was to burst briefly on the scene and then tragically disappear, but meteor-like as she may have been in life, the spirit of her poetry has gone on and a new generations is rediscovering her lyrics.In her own time a romantic aura surrounded Edna St. Vincent Millay. The exquisite quality of her poetry has found new admirers in a generation that is anti-romantic. More than fifty years have passed since Miss Millay became a literary sensation with "Renascence," and her impact is as strung today as it was then.Miss Sprague has brought the book to the immediate present in examining the life and work of the beloved Marianne Moore. Probably one of the most widely acclaimed and honored poets in the world today, she is familiar to the man-in-the-street, who may know nothing about her poetry, because of her abiding interest in baseball and all aspects of life around her.Rosemary Sprague has counted the poet's ways and shown how each has expressed her own attitude toward life and poetry, Each is her pictured as a woman of deep and simple perception, each capable of sharing this with her fellow man. A representative selection of the poet's work follows the biographical and critical essay.Imaginary Gardens, which follows Miss Sprague's distinguished books on Robert Browning and George Eliot, is a work of major literary importance.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
