Today the blog at Encyclopaedia Britannica begins a handy series of postings sure to help literary fakers everywhere. "20th-Century Literary Genres in a Nutshell: Part 1" lists movements and key authors. So if you're not clear on Acmeism ("Russian poets who reacted against the mystical, vague, and allusive qualities of symbolism: Anna Akhmatova, Chetki (1914); Osip Mandel’shtam, Kamen’ (1913)") or just want a quick refresher on the Black Mountain Poets ("1950s–1960s. Teachers and students of Black Mountain College (1933–1953) in North Carolina whose poetry was aligned with the rhythms and spontaneity of consciousness: Charles Olson, The Maximus Poems (1960); Robert Creeley, For Love: Poems, 1950–1960 (1962)."), this is the place for you.
This first post goes through D; further posts will come each week.--David E
