Review

"[T]his book opens intellectual borders, as his DEVOLVING ENGLISH LITERATURE (1992) did... It is refreshing to have the modern period extended, to approach the modern poet from the contrived clarities of 18th-century Edinburgh, and to find world poetry taken into account."

Publisher's note

Addressed to all readers of poetry, this is a wide-ranging book about the poet's role throughout the last three centuries. It argues that a conception of the poets as both primitive and sophisticated emerged in the 1750s. Whether considering Ossian and the Romantics, Victorian scholar-gipsies, Modernist poetries of knowledge, or contemporary poetry in Britian, Ireland, and America, THE MODERN POET shows how many successive generations of poets have needed to collaborate and to battle with academia.
