Opis

Twentieth-Century Poetry presents detailed studies of the pressures and processes involved when twentieth-century poets have composed poems. It not only deals with the forces working upon them, but also the aesthetic, political, and human pressures that they may deploy when negotiating with these forces.

Recenzje

Twentieth Century Poetry is a book which dares to tackle the difficult topic of the relationship of poetry and politics; it does so, mostly, with a light touch which lets the poetry speak for itself...Peter Robinson is to be credited with listening attentively and knowledgeably to poetry, and his engagement with lesser-known, even unjustly neglected writers is especially welcome.
