Description

In The Twentieth Century in Poetry, Peter Childs moves beyond the traditional focus on the novel to explore how poetry reflects social issues. This critical survey examines literature within a wide social context, demonstrating how poetry is produced and consumed as part of our understanding of identity and society. Designed as a student-friendly resource, this Routledge publication covers essential movements and figures. It explores the Georgians, First World War poetry, Eliot, and Yeats, while also addressing the thirties and post-war poetry. The text provides a comprehensive look at contemporary anthologies, women's poetry, and Northern Irish poetry to give readers a complete view of the century's poetic landscape.
