The Cambridge Companion to Twentieth-Century English Poetry

Angebote / Angebote:

This book offers, in seventeen specially commissioned essays by some of the most highly regarded poetry critics, a companion to twentieth-century English poetry. The opening section on contexts will both orientate readers relatively new to the field and provide stimulating overviews for those already familiar with it. Following the terms introduced by this section, individual chapters cover various issues relating to the 'modern', the 'modernist' and the 'postmodern', giving readers a firm grasp of the issues involved in these terms and a view of their relative usefulness and applicability. Poets extensively discussed include Edward Thomas, D. H. Lawrence, Wilfred Owen, W. H. Auden, Keith Douglas, William Empson, Philip Larkin, R. S. Thomas, Stevie Smith, Ted Hughes, Geoffrey Hill, Tony Harrison, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Edwin Morgan, Simon Armitage and Carol Ann Duffy.
