British Poetry, 1900-50, focuses on British poetry from the Georgians to the Second World War. The introduction provides a framework for the articles which follow by looking at the question of the relation between poetry and society as it appears in the work of F.R. Leavis, T.W. Adorno and Antony Easthope. The essays cover both neglected as well as established writers and traditions.
