The Movement Reconsidered: Essays on Larkin, Amis, Gunn, Davie and Their Contemporaries

Beschreibung

The Movement was the preeminent poetical grouping of post-war Britain. This collection of original essays by distinguished poets, critics, and scholars from Britain and America provides new accounts not only of the best-known of Movement writers - Philip Larkin, Kingsley Amis, Thom Gunn, and Donald Davie - but of less-familiar contemporaries.
