Description

Book Synopsis
Pollard looks to recent Caribbean poetry as a means of reassessing modernism's cosmopolitanism; in particular, his book redefines the cosmopolitan influence of T. S. Eliot's modernism by examining how his ideas have been transformed by the two leading Anglophone Caribbean poets, Derek Walcott and Kamau Brathwaite.

Trade Review
New World Modernisms makes a contribution that is both substantial and significant to scholarship in two spheres: Anglophone Caribbean literature in the larger context of postcolonial theory, and modernism. A stimulating and provocative book. - Laurence Breiner, Professor of English, Boston University, author of An Introduction to West Indian Poetry
