- Kurztext
- Twentieth-Century British and Irish Poetry offers an accessible, imaginative, and highly stimulating guide to the criticism of British and Irish poetry in the twentieth century. Through an insightful narrative - which places each article in context, drawing out the relevant themes, genres, and historical background - Michael O'Neill knits together contributions by major critics, as well as essays by a number of celebrated poet-critics, including Peter McDonald, Andrew Motion, and Tom Paulin. Featured poets include Eliot, Yeats, Owen, Auden, MacDiarmid, Muldoon, Mahon, and many others. An invaluable guide to the ways in which a remarkable and evolving body of poetry has been interpreted, this isa unique and wide ranging collection of important critical reflection on canonical and emerging voices in the British and Irish poetic tradition.
