Sobre aquest llibre

In "Flame and Shadow," Sara Teasdale crafts a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the human spirit, delving into themes of emotional intensity and existential reflection. Written in a lyrical style, her poetry intertwines vivid imagery with delicate sound patterns, fostering a sensuous experience that resonates with the reader. This collection, published in the early 20th century during the height of the modernist movement, serves as a bridge between romantic idealism and the stark truths of contemporary life, capturing the duality of joy and sorrow inherent in the human experience. Sara Teasdale, an influential poet of the early 1900s, embodied the struggles and triumphs of a woman in a predominantly male literary landscape. Her personal experiences with love, heartbreak, and mental health profoundly informed her work, as evidenced in this collection. Teasdale's dedication to expressing her innermost feelings reveals her quest for authenticity, and the societal challenges she faced as a female poet elevated her voice in literature. "Flame and Shadow" is a must-read for those who appreciate profoundly emotional and beautifully crafted poetry. Teasdale's rich explorations of the complexities of love and identity will captivate readers and invite them to reflect on their own experiences of passion and vulnerability.

Sobre l'autor

Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) was an American lyrical poet born in St. Louis, Missouri. Known for her simple and classical style, she explored themes of love, beauty, and death, capturing the delicate nuances of emotions in her verse. A pivotal work in her literary career is 'Flame and Shadow' (1920), a collection that exemplifies her poetic maturation and stands out for its intensity and depth. Teasdale's poetry is characterized by its clarity, perceptiveness, and the musicality of its language, which often carries a melancholic undertone. Her distinct voice emerged in the early 20th century, a period rich with innovation in American poetry. Teasdale's sensitive articulation of inner experiences earned her acclaim, including the Columbia University Poetry Society Prize (the precursor to the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry) for her earlier volume 'Love Songs' in 1918. Her work has been studied for its feminist undertones, articulating a woman's perspective in a predominantly male literary landscape. Despite her ultimate tragic end, Teasdale left behind a legacy that continues to resonate with readers for its emotional honesty and lyrical beauty.
