In an effort to reestablish the tradition of the âintellectual poetâ (âMetaphysicalâ), T. S. Eliot and the members of the imagist and early modernist schools employ a rather direct method: allusions to classic works of poetry. By incorporating references to texts that exemplify the âchaotic, irregular, fragmentaryâ (âMetaphysicalâ) style which mirrors oneâs sensory experience of everyday life, Eliot adds both the historical context of the referenced work and the image conjured by the work itself to his own poetry. Pound,...

Dadaism responded in outcry, and ever since the progression of art has been in doubt as Duchamp inspired artists to explore the bounds of visual culture. Consequently, art has moved in unprecedented directions and created new questions: Why do we use visual means to express ideas? Who dictates taste? Or ultimately, what constitutes art? Considering answers to enquiries...

In the decades following its publication, Said's work has been...
