Jeffers, the best known poet of California and the American West, particularly valorized the Big Sur region, making it his own as Frost did New England and Faulkner, Mississippi, and connecting it to the wider tradition of the American sublime in Emerson, Thoreau, and John Muir. The book also links Jeffers to a Puritan sublime in early American verse and explores his response to the Darwinian and Freudianrevolutions and his engagement with modern astronomy.Abstract: The most comprehensive study of the American poet Robinson Jeffers (18871962) yet to appear, relating him broadly to the American cultural tradition and situating him as a key figure in the crisis ofmodernism."
