Abstract

Margaret Anderson was born 24 November 1886, and like her contemporaries Ezra Pound and Marianne Moore, came of age in a time sympathetic to Mathew Arnold's expression of the plight of the sensitive Victorian caught— between "two worlds, one dead/the other powerless to be born." Death, power and birth would become important themes in the era known as "Modernist" for, while Romantic sensibilities were far from dead, they were rapidly suffering the consumption of a growing industrial age.
