The book is a collection of essays on the historical development of the poetics of Imagism. It discusses various facets, strands and sub-strands of Imagism, as well as its ongoing legacy. Special attention is paid to the concepts of the image, the objective correlative, texture, and generally structure of modernist poetry.
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 Kopcewiczs 80th birthday. 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. Kopcewiczs 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.
