Poets in their Time by Barbara Everett
Barbara Everett brings her extraordinary ability to read closely and her intimate knowledge of the period to an examination of the work of a range of poets from the sixteenth century to the present day. The 12 essays show the way each poet remains an individual while interacting with a particular historical context.
quite exceptionally good.. one of the finest collections of criticism for years ... It blends historical insight and critical perception with real originality * Frank Kermode, London Review of Books *
She has an acute ear for a poet's voice, both in the individual life and in the work as a whole ... But an ear without a brain is not enough. Barbara Everett also shows a developed and fastidious historical imagination. * Times Higher Education Supplement *
