Amy Lowell, Diva Poet

Download or read book Amy Lowell, Diva Poet written by Melissa Bradshaw and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bradshaw uses theories of the diva and female celebrity to account for Lowell's extraordinary literary influence in the early twentieth century and the dismissal of her work after her death. Drawing on a rich array of letters, memoirs, newspapers and periodicals, but eschewing the biographical interpretations of her poetry that have often characterized criticism on Lowell, Bradshaw restores Lowell to her rightful place as a powerful writer and impresario of modernist verse.
