First published in 1982, The Truth of Poetry attempts to answer a
seemingly simple question: What kind of truth does poetry offer in
modern times? Michael Hamburger's answer to this question ranges
over the last century of European and American poetry, and the
result is a phenomenology of modern poetry rather than a history of
appreciations of individual poets. Stressing the tensions and
conflicts in and behind the work of every major poet of the period,
he considers the many different possibilities open to poets since
Baudelaire. This expansive work of analysis will be of interest to
students of English literature, poetry enthusiasts and literary
historians.
