Despite the brevity of its run and the diminutive size of its
audience, The English Intelligencer is a key publication in the
history of literary modernism in the British Isles. Emerging in the
mid-1960s from a dissatisfaction with the prevailing norms of
'Betjeman's England', the young writers associated with it were
catalysed by the example of Donald Allen's The New American Poetry
as they sought to establish a revitalised modernist poetics. Late
Modernism and The English Intelligencer gives the first full
account of the extraordinary history of this publication, bringing
to light extensive new archival material to establish an
authoritative contextualisation of its operation and its
relationship with post-war British poetry. This material provides
compelling new insights into the work of the Intelligencer poets
themselves and, more broadly, the continued presence of an
international poetic modernism as a vital force in Britain in the
second half of the twentieth century.
