Description

This study of post-war poetry in English looks at how poetry has become more and more like the novel, and the reasons for this change. The text examines the narrative change in poetry through individual studies of 12 major English-language poets from Britain, America, Ireland, Australia and the Caribbean, including Derek Walcott, Ted Hughes and Anne Stevenson. The text uses narrative theory, especially Bakhtin, to provide detailed grounding in the analysis.
