Poets in Their Time: Essays on English Poetry from Donne to Larkin (Clarendon Paperbacks) - Softcover
Synopsis
Widely regarded as one of England's most sensitive readers of poetry, Barbara Everett here examines the poetry of Donne, Milton, Marvell, Rochester, Pope, Keats, Browning, Eliot, Auden, and Philip Larkin. The implicit argument of these essays is designed to show the way each poet remains an individual--idiosyncratic, odd, rich--while interacting with the conditions of a particular historical context. To this difficult task Everett brings an extraordinary ability to read closely and an intimate knowledge of the period.

Review
`The book has all the strengths and some of the weaknesses of traditional English poetry criticism, combining a hair-splittingly subtle approach to smaller issues with a resolutely commonsensical and even pedestrian approach to larger ones.'
Sunday Times.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Poets in their Time Barbara Everett brings her extraordinary ability to read closely and her intimate knowledge of the period to an examination of Donne, Milton, Marvell, Rochester, Pope, Keats, Browning, Eliot, Auden, and Philip Larkin. The implicit argument of these twelve essays is designed to show the way each poet remains an individual while interacting with the conditions of 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. She convincingly hears the timbre of the sonnet-sequence in the sounds and silences of Keats' Odes and she catches Donne sounding both like a preacher and "a great frequenter of plays", neatly characterizing his tone as one of "amiable rancour" . But an ear without a brain is not enough. Barbara Everett also shows a developed and fastidious historical imagination.' Tim Deveson, TimesEducational Supplement `it makes me feel like a donkey munching thistles. The prose in these critical studies is knotty but nourishing and each essay emphasises the essentialunfamiliarity of the well known. Jonathan Keats, Independent `the kind of thoughtful appreciation is that Donne, among others, would agree was worth waiting a few hundred years for.' Clive James, Observer 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.
