Poetry has always given rise to interpretation, judgment, and controversy. Indeed, the history of poetry criticism is as rich and varied a journey as the history of poetry itself. But classic writings such as Emerson's essay "The Poet" and Whitman's preface to Leaves of Grass serve as more than a critical "call and response": the works are striking examples of how the finest poets themselves have written on poetics and the works of their peers and...

Avec La Terre vaine (1922), épopée moderniste condensée en 433 vers, T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) suit James Joyce et s'en démarque à la fois.
