A new theory for American poetry : democracy, the environment, and the future of imagination / Angus Fletcher.

Rather than treating American poets as the happy or rebellious children of European romanticism, Fletcher uncovers a distinct lineage for American poetry. His point of departure is the English writer John Clare - he then centres on the radically American vision expressed by Emerson and Walt Whitman.
