This study examines Hart Cranes canonical ambitions in The Bridge and argues for a new species of epic, the modernist epic, which also includes Pounds The Cantos, Eliots The Waste Land, and Williamss Paterson. It offers a close reading of The Bridge as a hybrid of lyric and epic modes. Cranes sublime and history converge in a complex synthesis of form and ideas. The study reconceives Cranes achievement by locating him in an intertextual system of production while also recognizing his poetic making of self. Yet in this work Crane assumes a greater political presence than much commentary has entertained.
