Why should a poet feel the need to be original? What is the
relationship between genius and apprenticeship? James Fenton
examines some of the most intriguing questions behind the making of
the art - issues of creativity and the 'earning' of success, of
judgement, tutorage, rivalry, and ambition. He goes on to consider
the juvenilia of Wilfred Owen, the 'scarred' lines of Philip
Larkin, the inheritance of imperialism, and issues of
'constituency' in Seamus Heaney. He looks too at Marianne Moore,
Elizabeth Bishop, Sylvia Plath, and their contrasting 'feminisms',
at D. H. Lawrence, 'welcoming the dark'. The climax of the book is
his superb and extensive discussion of Auden.
