Book excerpt: 'Georgian Poetry' is an anthology of works by the eponymous school of poets that emerged during King George V's early reign. This book showcases the talent of the Georgian poets who are best known for their poetry's rich and descriptive language, their focus on everyday life, and their rejection of Victorian sentimentality. The anthology, edited by Edward Marsh and published by Harold Monro, contains poems from 1911 and 1912, and features works by Lascelles Abercrombie, Rupert Brooke, and D. H. Lawrence, among others. Here's an excerpt from D. H. Lawrence's 'Snapdragon': "She bade me follow to her garden where / The mellow sunlight stood as in a cup / Between the old grey walls; I did not dare / To raise my face, I did not dare look up."

Download or read book The Georgian Poets written by Lynn Parker and published by Northcote House Pub Limited. This book was released on 1999 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Georgian movement in literature began as a reaction against late Victorian sensibilities, but world events soon turned this nascent movement upside down, killing two of its most famous members and dispersing the rest amidst a harsher intellectual climate. This introductory study helps to set the Georgians in their original context, and revises the critical balance in favour of three lesser known writers whose contribution to early twentieth-century letters was viewed as significant before the 1930s. The author makes use of archive sources and reviews as wellas recent historicist accounts, bringing these engaging, mysterious and humane writers into focus for the present time.

This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Costa Biography Award, a fascinating exploration of one of the twentieth century’s most influential poets. Edward Thomas was perhaps the most beguiling and influential of the war poets. This haunting account of his final five years follows him from his beloved English countryside to the battlefield in France where he lost his life. When he met the American poet Robert Frost in 1913, Thomas was tormented by feelings of failure in his work and in his marriage. With Frost’s encouragement he began writing poem after poem as he finally found the expression for which he had spent his life searching. But the First World War put an ocean between them: Frost returned to New England while Thomas enlisted and went to fight in France. It is these roads taken—and not taken—that are at the heart of this unforgettable book, which culminates in Thomas’s tragic death on Easter Monday, 1917. Now All Roads Lead to France encompasses an astonishingly creative moment in English literature, when London was a battleground for new, ambitious writing. A generation that included W. B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, Robert Frost, and Rupert Brooke was “making it new”—vehemently and pugnaciously—and this dazzling biography places Thomas firmly in their midst.

Download or read book Edward Thomas written by Jacek Wiśniewski and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Thomas volunteered when he was 37 years old and a father of three and was killed, as an artillery officer, during the first hour of the Arras offensive, on April 9th, 1917. In the two years before his death, he wrote the 144 poems which ensured a place for him among the poets of his generation. Though all his poems had been written â oeunder stormâ (TM)s wingâ , Thomas was not a war poet in the sense that Owen, Sassoon or Rosenberg were war poets. Before he turned to poetry in December 1914, he had written and published about thirty prose books of different kinds: country books and nature studies, literary biographies and travel accounts, several short stories, one autobiographical novel and one autobiographical fragment. He was also a reviewer of contemporary poetry, literary editor and anthologist. There is a popular notion that Thomasâ (TM)s friendship with the American poet Robert Frost â oemade himâ a poet; an equally mistaken view places Thomas among the Georgian poets, while at the same time it fails to mention the powerful impact of the poetry of William Butler Yeats and Thomas Hardy. Edward Thomas: A Mirror of England surveys the whole of Edward Thomasâ (TM)s achievement, not only in verse, explaining the ways in which Thomasâ (TM)s poetry continues to appeal to new generations of readers, while exerting great influence on new generations of poets. WiÅ>niewski discusses Thomasâ (TM)s place in the â oeEnglish lineâ of 20th century poetry, stemming from Thomas Hardy; he sheds new light on the literary friendship between Thomas and Robert Frost; he analyzes his nature books and provides new assessment of his role as critic. WiÅ>niewski argues against those who insist on placing Thomasâ (TM)s poetry in the context of Georgian poetry, and in doing so provides new interpretations of well-known poems by Thomas. The book fully discusses the role the Great War played in making Thomas a poet and in a final chapter focuses on the best known poems by Thomas. Almost thirty years after Andrew Motionâ (TM)s study, The Poetry of Edward Thomas, A Mirror of England offers a fresh and timely reappraisal of one of Englandâ (TM)s major poets. With scholarly thoroughness and lucidity WiÅ>niewski reveals an accessible and complex poet in ways which will bring Edward Thomas once again to whoever is interested in poetry.

Download or read book Conrad Aiken written by Edward Butscher and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of a planned two-volume biography, Conrad Aiken: Poet of White Horse Vale follows Aiken's early life from his birth in 1889 to 1925 when he stood on the threshold of both nervous breakdown and poetic success. It was then that Aiken began to face his paradoxically idyllic and tragic Savannah childhood and to confront the events of February 27, 1901. On that day, the eleven-year-old Aiken heard gunshots punctuate a nightlong argument between his mother and father. Running into the next room, he discovered his mother murdered and his father dead by suicide. Sounding the deep reverberations of those events in Aiken's mind, Edward Butscher follows the poet's life and work as he sought to regain, in some permanent form, the idyll he had lost as a child. Butscher tells of Aiken's determined efforts to gain recognition for his verse in the fevered cultural circuits of the early twentieth century—from his friendship, begun at Harvard, with T. S. Eliot, through frustrating excursions into the literary society of England and repeated trips on the poetic “trade route” from his home in Boston to Chicago and New York, to often sharp encounters with such powerful cultural barons as Ezra Pound, Amy Lowell, and Harriet Monroe. Hoping to build his reputation on a series of detached poetic “symphonies,” to keep depression from boiling over into madness and suicide, Aiken skirted the border of his deepest memories and fears—a border he would cross in the works that lay ahead.
