The Bible in American Poetic Culture: Community, Conflict, War

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

Although the Bible is the foundation of American poetic tradition, there is no study of the Bible as an ongoing force in American poetry.Not only a source of imagery, allusion, rhythm and style, the Bible is central to how poetry has both shaped and been shaped by American civic, political, and social history, including issues of ethnicity, race.
