Book Description
Excerpt from The Book of Modern British Verse This little collection is intended to present to Ameri can readers the character of contemporary British verse. The period has now definitely assumed the name of -georgian. It began with J'ohn Masefield and has grown into the newer blossoming of Seigfried Sassoon, Robert Graves, and Robert Nichols. The late petals of the Victorian ower began to droop under the reign of Edward VII. They dropped to the ground at the first touch of the frosty truth in the sub stance, and the converting concreteness in the expres sion, of The Everlasting Mercy and The Widow in the Bye Street. The new era began with an as sault upon reality and a shock of symbols. And upon it descended the con agration of the world. The sow ing was turned to the surface by a world war. The re-sowing began in the trenches: the first fruits of which are beautiful to the eye but bitter to the taste. What the'full harvest will be no one can say, because the present bad weather of social, economic, and polit ical turmoil is raging over the fields of dream.

Book Description
In Centre and Periphery in Modern British Poetry, Andrew Duncan raises the provocative question of just how accurate—and useful—the concept of a British literary culture is for a nation that stretches over 600 miles and includes four distinct national cultures. He identifies distinct regional poetic traditions in Scotland, Wales, and the north of England, examining writers such as Glyn Jones, Joseph Macleod, and Colin Simms and coming to the startling conclusion that the finest British poets of recent decades have lived not at the heart of "British" literary society, but in the outlands of the British Isles.
