A flowering word : the modernist expression in Stephane Mallarme, T.S. Eliot, and Yosano Akiko

In an attempt to elucidate the significance of modernism in poetry, Takeda (comparative literature, Hiroshima University) applies Peirce's semiotic theory to the principal works of three contemporary writers. Mallarme's late sonnets, Eliot's Four Quartets, and Akiko's Tangled Hair are examined and understood as attempts to unify language and art. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
