Description
In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from EDSITEment, students are prompted to think about a poem's speaker within the larger context of modernist poetry. First, students review the role of the speaker in two poems of the Romanticism and Victorian periods before focusing on the differences in Wallace Stevens' modernist "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird."
