Serious poetry : form and authority from Yeats to Hill

Serious poetry : form and authority from Yeats to Hill / Peter McDonald.

In this history, it is the authority of poetry (and not the media-processed poet) which is at stake in the integrity of poetic form. The book offers a controversial reading of 20th-century British and Irish poetry centred on six figures all of whom are critics as well as poets.
