Blending historiography and theory, it proceeds by asking: what is the point of poetry as far as historians are concerned? The focus is on W. H. Auden's Cold War-era history poems, but the book also looks at other poets from the seventeenth century onwards, providing original accounts of their poetic and historical educations. An important resource for those teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses in historiography and history and theory, Poetry for historians will also be of relevance to courses on literature in society and the history of education. General readers will relate it to Steedman's Landscape for a Good Woman (1987) and Dust (2001), on account of its biographical and autobiographical insights into the way history operates in modern society. --$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPoetry, Modern$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHistory 606 $aPoetry$xHistory and criticism 610 $aCivil War. 610 $aClio [the Muse of History]. 610 $aHistoria. 610 $aHistoriography. 610 $aHomage to Clio. 610 $aMuse of History. 610 $aPoetry. 610 $aVai people. 610 $aW.
