This is a comprehensive study of Darwin's Legacy for relegion,
ecology and the arts. In Darwin's Bards John Holmes argues that
poetry can have a profound impact on how we think and feel about
the human condition in a Darwinian world. Including over 50
complete poems and substantial extracts from several more, Holmes
shows how poets from Tennyson and Browning, through Hardy and
Frost, to Ted Hughes, Pattiann Rogers and Edwin Morgan have
responded to the discovery of evolution. Written for scientists,
philosophers and ecologists, as well as poets, critics and students
of literature, Darwin's Bards is a timely intervention into the
heated debates over Darwin's legacy for religion, ecology and the
arts. The book will appeal to readers for its discussion of the
existential implications of Darwinism, for its close readings of
poetry, and for the reprinted poems themselves.
