{"product_id":"the-point-alma-venus-manuscripts-robinson-jeffers-9781503628083","title":"The Point Alma Venus Manuscripts","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe years 1921 to 1927 were the most productive of Robinson Jeffers's career. During this period, he wrote not only many of his most well-known lyric poems but also \u003ci\u003eTamar\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Tower Beyond Tragedy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRoan Stallion\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Women at Point Sur\u003c\/i\u003e--the long poems that first established his reputation as a major American poet. Including an introduction, chronology, and critical afterword, the \u003ci\u003ePoint Alma Venus\u003c\/i\u003e manuscripts presented here gather Jeffers's four unfinished but substantial preliminary attempts at what became \u003ci\u003eThe Women at Point Sur\u003c\/i\u003e, which Jeffers believed was the \"most inclusive, and poetically the most intense\" of his narrative poems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003ePoint Alma Venus\u003c\/i\u003e fragments and versions shed important light on the composition and themes of \u003ci\u003eThe Women at Point Sur\u003c\/i\u003e. Further, they likely predate other key work from this crucial period, making them a necessary context for those who wish to clarify Jeffers's poetic development and to reinterpret his practice of narrative poetry. Ultimately, they call on general and scholarly readers alike to reconsider Jeffers's place in the canon of modern American poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robinson Jeffers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503628086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503628083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Robinson Jeffers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994544341247,"sku":"9781503628083","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6d7f31b-2dd7-4606-a85f-4e3ec49669a3.jpg?v=1683330784","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-point-alma-venus-manuscripts-robinson-jeffers-9781503628083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
