This volume brings together sixteen essays on British, Irish and
American poets from the late nineteenth century to the present day.
It offers a series of entertaining and compelling readings of the
lives and works of Gerard Manley Hopkins, W.B. Yeats, Edward
Thomas, T.S. Eliot, Hart Crane, Elizabeth Bishop, James Schuyler,
Allen Ginsberg, John Ashbery, Ted Hughes and Paul Muldoon among
others. Arranged chronologically, the essays present a wide-ranging
and sophisticated narrative that takes the reader from the first
stirrings of modernism through to the dynamic experiments of the
present day. A number of essays attend to particular artistic
alignments. One explores the relationship between Wallace Stevens
and the unjustly neglected English poet Nicholas Moore, another the
close friendship between James Schuyler and the painter Fairfield
Porter, while a third contends that the lyrics, music and career of
Bob Dylan unwittingly illustrate many of the key tenets of the
great nineteenth-century essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson.
