The Stock of Available Reality: R.P. Blackmur and John Berryman

by James D. Bloom

This study links two long and troubled modern American literary careers and explores the politics of reading in Anglo-American criticism and poetry. Examining three decades of poetry and prose by both writers, the author documents their partisan affiliations with and disaffections from acknowledged literary masters and prevailing critical conventions.
