English Poetry of the Eighteenth Century, 1700-1789

Informationen zum Autor David Fairer Zusammenfassung In recent years the canon of eighteenth-century poetry has greatly expanded to include women poets, labouring-class and provincial poets, and many previously unheard voices.This book questions some of the structures, categories, and labels that have given the age its reassuring shape in literary history.
