This is a book about the conflict between history and poetry - and
historians and poets - in Atlantic World society from the end of
the seventeenth century to the present day. Blending historiography
and theory, it proceeds by asking: what is the point of poetry as
far as historians are concerned? The focus is on W. H. Auden's Cold
War-era history poems, but the book also looks at other poets from
the seventeenth century onwards, providing original accounts of
their poetic and historical educations. An important resource for
those teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses in
historiography and history and theory, Poetry for historians will
also be of relevance to courses on literature in society and the
history of education. General readers will relate it to Steedman's
Landscape for a Good Woman (1987) and Dust (2001), on account of
its biographical and autobiographical insights into the way history
operates in modern society. -- .
