Abstract

This study of E. E. Cummings poetry will consist largely of an examination of those qualities of his verse which are peculiar to it, which particularize it as the work of one post. The particularities of Cummings verse are, however, of a dual nature--at once experimental and traditional. Most frequently the experimental aspects are grounded in some tradition, and as a rule his best verse reveals little of the eccentric manifestations of the experimental and reflects an individual yet traditional style.
