Description

This casebook seeks to put in critical perspective the aims and achievements of three leading British poets of the Post-1950 period: Thom Gunn, Ted Hughes and R.S.Thomas. It does not attempt a "definitive" assessment - which would manifestly be a disingenuous approach to poets whose work is continuing to develop in range and technique. By providing a retrospective survey of the critical response to each during the last 30 years or so, it enables the reader to gain a sharper understading of the intrinsic qualities of their poetic art and their relevance to the literary ethos of our own day.

Author Biography:

A E DYSON has a longstanding knowledge and appreciation of the work of Gunn, Hughes and Thomas and this selection of criticism also includes original contributions by him on all three poets. As general editor of the Casebook series and former co-editor of the Critical Quarterly he is well-qualified to provide an authoritative and thought provoking introduction to their poetry. A E Dyson is an Honorary Fellow of the University of East Anglia.
