Summary This volume carries out a speculative investigation into how, in some corners of a few of the national traditions of European lyric (namely, the English, Russian, German, and French) from roughly 1730 to 1945, a specific if highly flexible lyric form both shapes and enables responses to and reflection upon the changing historical horizon--conventionally termed ''modernity''--in which the poets lived and worked.
