Professing Sincerity

Guided by the question of why we expect poetry to be sincere, this work reveals that, in fact, sincerity in the modern lyric was in many ways a product of commercial culture. It shows how through textual claims to sincerity poets addressed moral anxieties about the authenticity, autonomy, and transparency of literature written in and for a market.
