{"product_id":"edwardian-poetry-kenneth-millard-9780198122258","title":"Edwardian Poetry","description":"The poets writing in the first years of the twentieth century have commonly been discussed in isolation. In \u003cem\u003eEdwardian Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e, Kenneth Millard considers together seven poets--Henry Newbolt, John Masefield, Thomas Hardy, Edward Thomas, A.E. Housman, John Davidson, and Rupert Brooke--and argues that their work is worthy of more serious critical attention than it has previously received. Through an analysis of numerous individual poems, Millard isolates certain common concerns: the changing and perhaps fading value of the idea of England, a distrust of the medium of language itself, and a distrust also of the creative imagination. In its reassessment of these poets, the book provides a literary context for their work, finding in it a kind of pre-war modern British poetry distinct from the Modernism of subsequent decades. In establishing a literary context for the poetry of this century's first decade, the book offers an important revision of modern literary history and points towards an alternative line in twentieth-century British poetry that culminates in the work of Philip Larkin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth Millard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019812225X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198122258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.80d","brand":"Kenneth Millard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056642814207,"sku":"9780198122258","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1340aead-b18c-466f-a511-87324c9fadab.jpg?v=1685042459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/edwardian-poetry-kenneth-millard-9780198122258","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
