Twentieth–Century British and Irish Poetry cover

Featuring contributions from some of the major critics of contemporary poetry, Twentieth-Century British and Irish Poetry offers an accessible, imaginative, and highly stimulating body of critical work on the evolution of British and Irish poetry in the twentieth-century * Covers all the poets most commonly studied at university level courses * Features criticisms of British and Irish poetry as seen from a wide variety of perspectives, movements, and historical contexts * Explores current debates about contemporary poetry, relating them to the volume's larger themes * Edited by a widely respected poetry critic and award-winning poet

"The editors have admirably carried out their self-imposed tasks ... The somewhat complicated arrangement is amply justified if one considers the work as a classroom tool, aimed primarily at giving a student audience food for thought, Helen Goethals." (Cercles, 2012)
