Robinson Jeffers

Résumé du livre

"The reputation of the author of Roan Stallion, Dear Judas, and other volumes has risen to great heights and fallen to great depths in his own lifetime. Because of the fact that he has been described both as "major poet", and as "beneath critical notice". Robinson Jeffers seems one of the most challenging of contemporary writers. This book interprets Jeffers primarily as a figure in the literary creation of our "American myth". It defines his long poems as modern myths rather than as classical tragedies or as realistic narratives. And it describes Jeffers himself as a figure in our American mythology."-Publisher
