Revolution in Poetic Consciousness is a considerable and
groundbreaking piece of work. It provides a most substantial, perceptive, and
well-informed account of a neglected body of English poetry from the middle
years of the twentieth century. Starting from the hypothesis that an excessive
concern with movements, schools and literary generations has generated maps of
English poetry from which important and interesting poets – especially women
poets – have been effaced, Revolution in Poetic Consciousness recovers, situates
and re-situates a lost and undeservedly ignored generation of writers in the
poetic landscape between 1938 and 1965: Frances Bellerby, Lilian Bowes Lyon,
Frances Cornford, Phoebe Hesketh, Elizabeth Jennings, Kathleen Nott, Ruth
Pitter, Kathleen Raine, Anne Ridler, E.J. Scovell, Edith Sitwell, Stevie Smith,
Dorothy Wellesley, and Sheila Wingfield. For the purpose of reading these poets,
a new typology of poetic categories (types of ethos, modes, voices) is evolved,
which is disturbingly relevant to both genre theories and current discussions of
the self. |
