{"product_id":"lyric-and-dramatic-poetry-1946-82-9780813912448","title":"Lyric and Dramatic Poetry, 1946-82","description":"Aime Cesaire has been described by the Times Literary Supplement as likely to \"figure alongside the Eliot-Pound-Yeats triumvirate that has dominated official poetic culture for more than fifty years.\" He was a cofounder and exponent of the concept of negritude and is a major spiritual, political, and literary figure.\u003cp\u003eCesaire has been read politically as a poet of revolutionary zeal since the 1960s. This collection, the only one in existence in any language to give a truly comprehensive retrospective of Cesaire's poetic production, demonstrates the narrowness of earlier readings that grew out of the climate of Black Power influenced by the essays of Frantz Fanon, another Martinican, who was largely responsible for the ambient view of Csaire a generation ago. It is the first collection to translate And the Dogs Were Silent and i, laminaria...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLyric and Dramatic Poetry, 1946-82 goes beyond anything else in print (in French or in English) in that it locates the issues of Cesaire's struggle with an emerging postmodern vision. It will place Cesaire in a strategic position in the current debate in the U.S. over emergent literature and will show him to be a major figure in the conflict between tradition and contemporary cultural identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-57821\"\u003eAime Cesaire\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.41w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813912448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081391244X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE005030\"\u003eEuropean | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE012000\"\u003eCaribbean \u0026amp; Latin American\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Virginia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44317919772909,"sku":"9780813912448","price":45.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_0ffc3bb8-160a-4b20-8c96-0a6d2163e651.jpg?v=1697737244","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/lyric-and-dramatic-poetry-1946-82-9780813912448","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
