British poetry from the 1950s to the 1990s
Gary Day, Brian Docherty (eds)
Palgrave Macmillan - Basingstoke
1997
This collection looks at the developments in British poetry from the Movement until the present. The introduction not only provides a context for these changes but also argues that poetry criticism has been debilitated by the quest for political respectability, a trend which can only be reversed by reconsidering the idea of tradition.
