First published in 1947, Poetry and the People presents a survey of
English poetry from the earliest times till 1940s, viewed from an
unusual angle. It is the author's thesis that English Poetry is
unpopular, in the sense that it is not loved by the people, because
the sources of its inspiration, which were originally drawn from
the soil, were diverted during the Renaissance into aristocratic
and academic channels. Nevertheless, the emerging traditions,
though driven underground, survived in the work of such men as
Burns, Hogg and Clare and in folk song. This book is a must read
for scholars and researchers of English poetry and English
literature.
