Serious Poetry

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on six influential poets who are also critics, Peter McDonald presents a provocative analysis of twentieth-century British and Irish poetry. He examines W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice, Seamus Heaney, and Geoffrey Hill, arguing that their work is rooted in complexity and cultural discord. By revisiting these elements, McDonald challenges conventional interpretations and highlights the significance of difficulty in their poetry.
