Opis

Peter McDonald offers a controversial reading of twentieth-century British and Irish poetry centered on six figures, all of whom are critics as well as poets: W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice, Seamus Heaney, and Geoffrey Hill. Serious Poetry provocatively returns these writers to the elements of difficulty and cultural disagreement where they belong.

Recenzje

In Peter McDonald's important, intelligent and provocative book, a principled attention to form yields genuine insights which elude most critics ... McDonald's reading of Hill is, like all his readings, perspicacious and revealing.
