- Inhalt
- This seminar will guide you through the fascinating variety of poetry that emerged from the post-war period and evolved into the diversity of contemporary poetry. We will begin with a short look back to the poetry of modernism (T.S. Eliot) and the political poetry in the 1930s (Auden, Spender, MacNeice). The seminar then starts with Robert Conquest s New Lines introducing us to poets of the 1950s and beyond. The diversity of British poetry is difficult to categorise. There are individual poets such as Philip Larkin, Ted Hughes, Geoffrey Hill, Peter Porter, Thom Gunn, Tony Harrison, and others. 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, John Burnside 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 (Derek Walcott, George Szirtes, Benjamin Zephaniah) and 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.
