The Imagist Movement In Poetry_{A Revolution In Words And Verse}

The Imagist movement, a radical departure from traditional poetry, emerged as a
revolutionary literary turning point in the 20th century. Following the principle of economy
and precision of language, the Imagist poets championed poetry devoid of ornament and
emotional excess. The movement’s emphasis on directness, simplicity, and visual intensity
reshaped the spirit of poetry, sparking profound reverberations in literature.
This book comprehensively explores the Imagist movement’s theoretical background and
historical context, as well as the analysis of the poems and contributions of its key figures,
such as T. E. Hulme, Ezra Pound, H.D., and Amy Lowell. It also includes selected poems
from Imagist anthologies, providing readers with concrete examples that highlight the essence
of Imagist poetry.
