| Sumario: | "Despite the crucial role played by Scottish poetry in the move towards self-definition and autonomy during the latter half of the twentieth century, there has been no specific study dedicated to its evolution. Modern Scottish Poetry is a groundbreaking survey of the field, notionally framed by the outbreak of the Second World War and the (re)-opening of the Scottish Parliament in 1999. Careful attention is given to this poetry's roots in the preceding period, as well as to the broader European context and to the influence of English and North American writers." "Adopting a decade by decade approach, Christopher Whyte takes a collection by each of twenty significant poets writing in English, Scots and Gaelic as the starting point for an examination of their whole career and of the connections linking them."--Jacket |
