MacDiarmid in Montrose / Robert Crawford -- Bunting and Welsh / Richard Caddel -- Antithesis of place in the poetry and life of David Jones / Thomas Dilworth -- 'Shut, too, in a tower of words': Dylan Thomas' modernism / John Goodby and Cristopher Wigginton -- 'Literally, for this': metonymies of national identity in Edward Thomas, Yeats and Auden / Stan Smith -- Reactions from their burg: Irish modernist poets of the 1930s / Alex Davis -- Pound's places / Peter Nicholls -- Wallace Stevens and America / Lee M. Jenkins -- Locating the lyric: Marianne Moore, Elizabeth Bishop and the Second World War / Fiona Green -- 'In the published city': the New York school of poets / Geoff Ward -- Modernism deferred: Langston Hughes, Harlem and jazz montage / Peter Brooker.

In this 2000 collection, an international team of contributors contest the conventional critical view of modernism as a transnational or supranational entity. They examine relationships between modernist poetry and place, and foreground issues of region and space, nation and location in the work of poets such as Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens and Marianne Moore. The book brings the work of major canonical writers into juxtaposition with more neglected modernists such as Basil Bunting and Dylan Thomas, writers whose investment in the concepts of region and nation, it is argued, contributed to their relative marginalisation. These essays offer a fascinating perspective on contemporary valuations of modernism through their investigation of some of the Anglo-American locations of modernism, and assess the regional and nationalist affiliations of modernist poetry. The Locations of Literary Modernism maps a topography of poetic modernism that is quite different from what had hitherto been accepted as comprehensive.
