 The Civility of Relationships: Charles Tomlinson and the Conversion of American Modernism by Michel Delville is a critical examination of Charles Tomlinson's poetic evolution and his integration of American modernist influences into his work. Originally published in Symbiosis: A Journal of Anglo-American Literary Relations, this micro-ebook explores Tomlinson's rejection of traditional English poetic forms and his adoption of the clarity and precision found in the works of Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, and William Carlos Williams. Delville analyzes Tomlinson's stylistic transformation and his commitment to a phenomenological poetry that emphasizes the relationship between the self and the external world. This essay is essential for literature students, scholars, and enthusiasts of modernist poetry and transatlantic literary studies. |
