Writing in 1918, the Yale professor surveys the poets who were changing English verse. He contrasts Henley, Francis Thompson, Hardy and Kipling, then turns to Masefield, Gibson, Hodgson, Rupert Brooke, Flecker and de la Mare, the Irish poets around Yeats, and the Americans, among them Robinson, Frost, Lindsay, Amy Lowell, Masters and Sara Teasdale, quoting generously throughout.
An enthusiastic contemporary map of modern poetry, fascinating for what it praised before the canon settled. Download the free EPUB.
