This collection brings together for the first time select works in
English by the major Swedish modernist poet and critic Göran
Printz-Påhlson. It was Printz-Påhlson who introduced poetic
modernism to Scandinavia, and his essays and poems delve deeply
into English, American, and continental modernist traditions. As
well as "Letters of Blood", the collection includes the full text
of "The Words of the Tribe", a major statement on modern poetics,
in which Printz-Påhlson explores the significance of primitivism in
Romanticism and Modernism, and the nature of metaphor and literary
materialism. The collection also includes essays on style, irony,
realism, and the relationship between historical drama and
historical fiction, as well as studies of American poetry.
Printz-Påhlson's poetry in English continues to explore these
themes by different, often surprisingly innovative, means.
