The first book to look at poets' letters seriously as an art form
Fifteen enlightening chapters by leading international biographers,
critics and poets examine letter writing among poets in the last
two hundred years. They range from Coleridge, Wordsworth, Keats and
Shelley in the nineteenth-century to Eliot, Yeats, Bishop and
Larkin in the twentieth. In doing so, they respond to the following
questions. Who are the great letter writers of the past? Why is
reading other people's mail so addictive? What is the relationship
between letter writing and other literary genres such as poetry?
Divided into three sections--Contexts and Issues, Romantic and
Victorian Letter Writing, and Twentieth-Century Letter Writing--the
volume demonstrates that real letters still have an allure that
virtual post struggles to replicate. Key Features: A comprehensive
collection of essays on the art and genre of letter writing among
Romantic, Victorian and Twentieth Century poets Contributors are
leading international biographers, critics and poets, including
Hermione Lee, Paul Muldoon, Daniel Karlin, Hugh Haughton, Anne
Fadiman, Edna Longley and Angela Leighton An absorbing history of
literary friendship, literary love, and literary rivalry A
sensitive study of the often close relationship between letter
writing and poetry
