Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies of Contemporary Poets In issuing a new edition of this book a word may be said which perhaps should have been said at first. It is a study of Contemporary Poetry using the word contemporary in its full sense - that is to say, poetry which is of our time not alone in the mere date of its appearance, but in its spirit and form; poetry which, for good or evil, draws its breath from the more vital forces of its age. That is not to make any absolute claim for the poets in this group, either as to their art or thought; nor to try to enthrone mere modernity. Still less would one attempt to appraise the poets relatively to each other or to the poets of earlier times. One sees simply that, despite faults, their work has much beauty and deep significance. It follows from the plan of the work that a good deal of poetry which is being written contemporaneously is necessarily excluded, as, for one example only, that of Sir William Watson. The plan also explains why, in 1914, when the first edition was written, the greater figures of the group which is now added (and which is placed, for convenience, at the end of this volume) were not then included.
