This text examines both "English" poetry through the events of the
20th century and British history through its representations in
recent poetry. It builds a narrative not of poetry in the 20th
century but of the 20th century in poetry. A high proportion of
literature courses include an exploration of the issues of gender,
ethnicity, theory, nationality, politics and social class. But
until now most teaching has focused on the novel as the most useful
way of raising these issues. Peter Childs demonstrates that all
poetry is historically produced and consumed and is part of our
understanding of society and identity. This student-friendly
critical survey includes chapters on: the Georgians; First World
War poetry; Eliot; Yeats; the thirties; post-war poetry;
contemporary anthologies; women's poetry; and Northern Irish and
black British poets. Placing literature in a wider social context,
this book examines the way in which recent theory has questioned
divisions between "history" and literature, between "text" and
"event", between society and the individual.
