If Modernist poetry dominated the early twentieth century, what did it mean for British poets like Thomas Hardy, Edward Thomas and Wilfred Owen not to be Modernist? Peter Howarth uncovers the origins of the battles over poetic style still being fought today, and connects these controversies with contemporary social and political developments and the trauma of the First World War. Scholars and students of twentieth-century poetry will find this an informative and inspiring account of the themes and debates that have shaped British poetry of the last hundred years.
