Skamander. The Poets and Their Poetry 1918 - 1929
Opis
The Skamanders, Jan Lechoń, Julian Tuwim, Kazimierz Wierzyński, Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz and Antomi Słomiński (from left to right), were Poland's most celebrated poets of the inter-war years. In spite of their great fame, the poets maintained a wall of privacy around the nature of their frienship and the literaty influence that each poet had on the other. In this, the first critical study of the Skamander poets in English, Barry Keane assesses the creative dynamic within the group. Containing much that will be of interest to both scholars and poetry enthusiasts, Barry Keane argues convincingly that the mosaic of Europe's Modernist literary tradition is still missing some pieces.
