Agitated equally by politics and the possibilities of artistic experimentation, Barry MacSweeney was ridiculed in the press, his literary reputation only recovering towards the end of his life which was cut short by alcoholism. With close readings of MacSweeney alongside his contemporaries, precursors, and influences, including J.H. Prynne, Shelley, Jack Spicer, and Sylvia Plath, Luke Roberts offers a fresh introduction to the field of modern poetry. Richly detailed with archival and bibliographic research, this book recovers the social and political context of MacSweeney's exciting, challenging, and controversial impact on modern and contemporary poetry.Modern and Contemporary Poetry and Poetics,2634-6060European literaturePoetryLiterature, Modern20th centuryEuropean LiteraturePoetry and PoeticsTwentieth-Century LiteratureEuropean literature.Poetry.Literature, ModernEuropean Literature.Poetry and Poetics.Twentieth-Century Literature.809.41Roberts Lukeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut926829BOOK9910255064803321Barry MacSweeney and the Politics of Post-War British Poetry2081505UNINA
