Modernism by Call Number: EbookISBN: 9780300111736Publication Date: 2011-10-25In this wide-ranging and original account of Modernism, Michael Levenson draws on more than twenty years of research and a career-long fascination with the movement, its participants, and the period during which it thrived.

The program features readings and excerpts from his major poems and critical work, including “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” “Sweeney among the Nightingales,” “Gerontion,” “The Hollow Men,” “Ash Wednesday,” The Wasteland, Four Quartets, and The Sacred Wood.
- Katherine Anne PorterLink out to a Research Starter on Katherine Anne Porter.
- Streaming Video: Katherine Anne PorterA strong, delicate, idiosyncratic writer with the power to evoke vast emotions in short words and the wisdom to understand large worlds in small scenes, Katherine Anne Porter wrote some of the best American shortiction of any age. She moves, sometimes plainly, sometimes unseen, throughout her world—a complex person combining the independence of a woman raised as a tomboy, the unconventionality of the artist, and the straitlaced late-Victorian-Texas views of propriety with which she condemned others who lived as she did. This superb production by Calvin Skaggs uses dramatizations of her stories as the narrative of the childhood which provided so much material for her work, counterpointed by the commentaries of Eudora Welty, Robert Penn Warren, Eleanor Clark, and Joan Givner.
