[edit] AGAINST OBLIVION
Using the model of Samuel Johnson's 'Lives of the Poets', this series of biographical essays looks at 45 20th-century poets from Hardy to Larkin, taking in Eliot, Pound, Yeats, Lowell, Auden, and Plath along the way. Respresentative poems from each poet are included.
Paying homage to Samuel Johnson's Lives of the Poets, Ian Hamilton has written an account of 20th-century English-language poetry through the lives of 45 of its principal exponents. Here are the towering figures (Yeats, Eliot, Lowell, Larkin and so on), the more minor talents (Moore, MacNeice, Stevie Smith), and a few writers who illustrate some interesting aspects of poetry in the century (Allen Ginsberg, Stephen Spender). With a substantial essay on each poet, which combines biography with critical judgement, some representative poems from each poet, and an introduction that discusses the place and function of poetry in the century, Against Oblivion offers a perfect introduction to the subject for student and general reader alike.
