He situates the work of canonical British and American modernist poets - Eliot, Pound, Stevens, Brooke, Kipling, and Flecker - in dialogue with the work of non-Western, colonial, and minority poets - Tagore, Naidu, Violet Nicolson - and brings into the discussion the poets of the Harlem Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on psychological and cultural theory, Marx argues that primitivism and exoticism were the main forms of cross-culturalism in the modern period, and that these forms were organized around repression of the unconscious and irrational. To the psychological scene of the primitive\/exotic poem and its reception, which is explored through substantial archival research, Marx brings an array of approaches including the theories of Freud, Jung, Lacan, Said, Foucault, Bhabha, Fanon, and others. The result is a series of powerful new readings of canonical modernists and a welcome expansion of the field of modern poetry into the age of multiculturalism and postcoloniality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Spell of Far Arabia: James Elroy Flecker's Islamic Near East\u003cbr\u003e2 The Ends of the Earth: Rudyard Kipling's Afghanistan\u003cbr\u003e3 The Exotic Transgressions of'Laurence Hope'\u003cbr\u003e4 Everybody's Anima: Sarojini Naidu as Nightingale and Nationalist\u003cbr\u003e5 The Tagore Era\u003cbr\u003e6 The Childhood That Never Was: Rupert Brooke's Primitive Paradise\u003cbr\u003e7 The Infant Gargantua on the Wet, Black Bough: Ezra Pound's Chinese Object Relations\u003cbr\u003e8 The Red Man in the Drawing Room: T.S.
