'The Case for Cummings' shows how E.E. Cummings has§become §fixed in criticism due to a misreading of his work by§critics. Many §critics in the 1920s were hostile to Cummings,§forcing Cummings §supporters to either defend or apologise for him. §Thus, in the §1920s pro-Cummingsian critics defined and fixed the battleground' - collectively collating Cummings themes - love, §spring, satire, individualism, and transcendence §yet these areas §became the very source of attack from§anti-Cummingsian critics. §This investigation, utilizing the literary theories§of Derrida, Bakhtin, §Foucault, Bloom, and Cixous, among others, aims to§show how both §sides have misread Cummings work and in doing so§sees a new §Cummings emerge, a Cummings who appears less fixed in§criticism, §who is more complex and richer in scope than first§thought, and §whose work demands major re-evaluation.
