    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-00336-1 - The Cambridge History of: American Poetry Edited by Alfred Bendixen and Stephen Burt Frontmatter More information The Cambridge History of AMERICAN POETRY The Cambridge History of American Poetry off ers a comprehensive exploration of the development of American poetic traditions from their beginnings until the end of the twentieth century. Bringing together the insights of fi fty distinguished scholars, this literary history emphasizes the complex roles that poetry has played in American cultural and intellectual life, detailing the vari- ety of ways in which both public and private forms of poetry have met the needs of diff erent communities at diff erent times. The Cambridge History of American Poetry recognizes the existence of multiple traditions and a dramatically fl uid canon, providing cur- rent perspectives on both major authors and a number of repre- sentative fi gures whose work embodies the diversity of America’s democratic traditions. A LFRED BENDIXEN teaches American literature at Princeton University and is the founder and Executive Director of the American Literature Association. His earlier scholarship empha- sized the recovery of unjustly neglected literary texts and the exploration of neglected genres, but his current focus is on the role of genre in democratic culture. His most recent books include A Companion to the American Novel (2012); A Companion to the American Short Story (2010), co-edited with James Nagel; and The Cambridge Companion to American Travel Writing (2009), co-edited with Judith Hamera. S TEPHEN BURT is Professor of English at Harvard University. His books of literary criticism and scholarship include The Art of the Sonnet (2010), with David Mikics; Close Calls with Nonsense (2009), a fi nalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award; The Forms of Youth: 20th-Century Poetry and Adolescence (2007); and Randall Jarrell and His Age (2002), winner of the Warren-Brooks Award.

Excerpts will be played from songs by Ruth Brown, the Mello-Kings, Elvis Presley, Richie Valens, the Beatles, Donovan, Cream, the Mothers of Invention and others. Hansen says that the rock audience has grown to include a great many people over 21. "They're the people who heard Presley's music when they were children," he explains. "They've been living with rock all their lives. It's their native tongue. That's one of the reasons, I think, that rock is much better now. The people who are playing and listening to it have grown up in the world of rock. It's not a fad anymore; it's the musical language they know and speak best." Hansen adds, "I believe there is as much musical sophistication, power and intelligence in rock music as in today's classical music or modern jazz. Albums now, in rock music, are increasingly being made to listen to all the way through.

  • Ull History Centre: Papers of Philip Arthur Larkin
    Hull History Centre: Papers of Philip Arthur Larkin U DPL Papers of Philip Arthur Larkin 1816-1992 Biographical Background: The Young Writer, 1922 - 1947 Philip Arthur Larkin was born in the Coventry suburb of Radford on 9 August 1922, the only son and younger child of Sydney and Eva Larkin. His father was City Treasurer of Coventry from 1922 to 1944. When Philip was five the family moved to a large detached house called 'Penvorn' on Manor Road, close to the city centre, and from the age of eight he attended King Henry VIII School. The school reports which survive from this time show that Larkin was a solid rather than an outstanding student with a flair for English Literature and a loathing of rugby [DPL2/3/63c]. Equally intriguing are the reading lists which shaped his study and prepared him for the first class English Literature degree he was to receive from Oxford University in 1943. Of more importance to him at this time were his friendships with fellow pupils including James Sutton, Ernie Roe, Frank Smith and Colin Gunner. In his introduction to Colin Gunner's book Adventures with the Irish Brigade (1975) Larkin describes the pleasure he and his schoolfriend had in investing schoolboy reality with the glamour of fiction. He recalled 'the grins exchanged when the master in charge innocently made some remark that chimed with the Dickensian, or Rowlandsonian, lifestyle we had devised for him'. Similarly, the evidence of the Larkin/Sutton letters, held elsewhere in the Library's archives, suggests that modern writers, such as Woolf, Mansfield, D.H.
