- Inhalt
- This seminar will guide you through the fascinating variety of poetry in the 20th century. We will begin with T.S. Eliot and modernism, talk about the political poetry in the 1930s (Auden, Spender, MacNeice), and continue with Robert Conquest’s New Lines introducing us to poets of the 1950s. The diversity of British poetry is difficult to categorise. There are individual poets such as Philip Larkin, Ted Hughes, and Geoffrey Hill. Some poets gained a reputation as representatives of the bygone rural England (John Betjeman). Others might be read as poets of a particular region such as Edwin Morgan, Hugh MacDiarmid or Jackie Kay for Scotland or Dylan Thomas and R.S Thomas for Wales, and John Harris and D.M. Thomas for Cornwall. Recent poets include ethnic minorities and immigrants, i.e. diasporic poetry or women poets such as Emily Berry, Alice Oswald or Clare Pollard.
Reading these poets in class, you will learn a lot about the changing poetic language in the twentieth century, but also about history and politics, society and culture in the United Kingdom throughout a troubled century.
