Serious Poetry: Form and Authority from Yeats to Hill
McDonald, Peter (, Christopher Tower Student and Tutor in Poetry in English, Christ Church, Oxford)
Peter McDonald offers a controversial reading of twentieth-century British and Irish poetry centred on six figures, all of whom are critics as well as poets: W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice, Seamus Heaney, and Geoffrey Hill. Serious Poetry provocatively returns these writers to the elements of difficulty and cultural disagreement where they belong.
