Modernist literature represents a broad plexus of concerns that are variably represented in 120 years of European writing, notably experimentation, anti-realism, individualism and intellectualism. Styles within the movement if movement it was have varied from the dense formalism of Robert Lowell and Hart Crane to conversational looseness in Marianne Moore and William Carlos Williams. Everyone has their favourites, but these may be the better known poets: Wallace Stevens, E E Cummings, W H Auden, William Empson, Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, Sylvia Plath, James Wright, and Ted Hughes.  more
