The last century was characterised by an extraordinary flowering of
the art of poetry in Britain. These specially commissioned essays
by some of the most highly regarded poetry critics offer an
up-to-date, stimulating and reliable overview of English poetry of
the twentieth century. The opening section on contexts will both
orientate readers relatively new to the field and provide
provocative syntheses for those already familiar with it. Following
the terms introduced by this section, individual chapters cover
many ways of looking at the 'modern', the 'modernist' and the
'postmodern'. The core of the volume is made up of extensive
discussions of individual poets, from W. B. Yeats and W. H. Auden
to contemporary poets such as Simon Armitage and Carol Ann Duffy.
In its coverage of the development, themes and contexts of modern
poetry, this Companion is the most useful guide available for
students, lecturers and readers.
