The Twentieth Century in Poetry Book

The Twentieth Century in Poetry examines Britain's poetry through the events of the twentieth century, as well as British history through its representation in poetry. Peter Childs demonstrates that all poetry is historically produced and consumed and is part of our understanding of society and identity. Accessible and informative, his work covers the Georgians, First World War poetry, Eliot, Yeats, the thirties, post-war poetry, contemporary anthologies, women's poetry, and Northern Irish and black British poets and places literature in a wider social context. This book is a fascinating examination of the way in which recent thinking has questioned divisions between 'history' and literature, between 'text' and 'event', between society and the individual.Read More
