British Poetry Since 1945Edward Lucie-Smith This revised edition contains new sections which recognize the increased influence of the Northern Irish and university poets, and, throughout, the commentaries render each poet - Larkin, Hughes, Porter, Heaney, Fenton, Raine, among others - immediately accessible. From the post-war movement to the post-expressionist movement, the poetic terrain is mapped out since the World War II. |
