If Modernist poetry dominated the early twentieth century, what did
it mean for British poets like Thomas Hardy, Edward Thomas and
Wilfred Owen not to be Modernist? This is the first critical
account of how non-Modernist poetry responded to the Modernist
revolution. Peter Howarth uncovers the origins of the battles over
poetic style still being fought today, and connects the early
twentieth-century controversy about poetic form with contemporary
social and political developments and the trauma of the First World
War. Howarth argues that at the heart of the division between
modern and traditional poetic form are different ideas of freedom,
power and individuality. Scholars and students of twentieth-century
poetry will find this an informative and inspiring account of the
themes and debates that have shaped British poetry of the last
hundred years.
