7. Discuss the role of John Crowe Ransom in 20th Century American Poetry.

American poetry during the early 20th century was marked by a dramatic shift away from the traditional forms and structures of poetry that had dominated the previous century. The poets of this era sought to create a new style of poetry that was more experimental, more complex, and more intellectually challenging. John Crowe Ransom played a central role in this movement, both through his work as a poet and his contributions as a critic and mentor. 

Ransom's ideas about poetry were deeply influenced by the cultural and intellectual currents of his time. He was part of a generation of writers and thinkers who were reacting against the conventions of the Victorian era and seeking to create a new, more modern style of literature. Ransom believed that poetry needed to evolve in order to remain relevant and meaningful in the modern world.
