Langdon Hammer continues his Yale lecture on Hart Crane, part of the Modern Poetry course (ENGL 310). He reads and discusses Crane's poem "Voyages" before turning to The Bridge, Crane's long poem answering T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land with a visionary, distinctly American epic. Hammer traces Crane's use of myth and symbol, his attention to marginal and outsider figures, and his reworking of the American hero, connecting these threads to Crane's larger argument about imagination's power to shape history rather than merely record it. The lecture builds on prior sessions on Crane and assumes some familiarity with his biography and earlier poems. Recorded at Yale in spring 2007 as part of the Open Yale Courses series, it offers close reading grounded in the text alongside broader claims about modernist poetics and American identity.
