Neuware -This collection of essays is a tribute to Andrzej Kopcewicz, the first professor ordinarius of American literature in the history of English studies in Poland. It coincides with the centenary of Imagism and what would have been Professor Kopcewicz¿s 80 birthday. The title alludes to his first book which was devoted to the image and the objective correlative in early 20-century Anglo-American poetry. Image in Modern(ist) Verse opens with a revised and abridged version of that publication. Kopcewicz¿s study can be still read as a useful historical, theoretical, and practical introduction to modern poetry. The bulk of the volume is made up of contributions by contemporary academics ¿ Paulina Ambröy, Joseph Kuhn, Pawe¿ Stachura, Jørgen Veisland, and Mi¿osz Wojtyna ¿ who discuss various facets, strands and sub-strands of Imagism, as well as its ongoing legacy. 178 pp. Englisch.

The title alludes to his first book which was devoted to the image and the objective correlative in early 20th-century Anglo-American poetry. Image in Modern(ist) Verse opens with a revised and abridged version of that publication. Kopcewicz’s study can be still read as a useful historical, theoretical, and practical introduction to modern poetry. The bulk of the volume is made up of contributions by contemporary academics – Paulina Ambrozy, Joseph Kuhn, Pawel Stachura, Jørgen Veisland, and Milosz Wojtyna – who discuss various facets, strands and sub-strands of Imagism, as well as its ongoing legacy.
