O Primo Bazilio has a far deeper tragedy than Madame Bovary wrote Roy Campbell, because the girl involved is . . . a most loveable character. One of the most tragic novels of the nineteenth century.

A collection of Trakl's essential poetry, this title contains the two books published in his lifetime, "Gedichte" ('Poems', 1913) and "Sebastian im Traum" ('Sebastian in a Dream', 1914), together with the later poems published in the magazine "Der Brenner".

Five years in the making, this is an anthology of poetry from every country in the world.

A unique opportunity to examine the apprenticeship of a great writer, this selection of poems composed between 1785 and 1790 reveals a precocious and remarkably accomplished early talent and shows that even in his earliest work, Wordsworth was already preoccupied with the themes that would later be explored fully in "The Prelude,

Echoes the vigour, good humour and skill of Paul Verlaine's poems about carnal love.

Tracing a lifelong and at times against-the-grain engagement with some of the most challenging and rewarding works of the 20th century, this collection maps some of the most dependable critical routes in the heart of modernism--American, English, Irish, and continental. Starting with an exemplary definition of modernism in "The Poet in the Imaginary Museum" and following with essays from a five-decade period about Eliot, Yeats, and Pound and a...

The first collection of Tom Raworth's poetry available in one volume, this work will change the way British poetry, in particular the modernist tradition, is seen. Part tragedy, part comedy, these poems reflect Raworth's view of life's fated inevitabilities. His sense of modern urgency plays against a similar sense of readiness in the spirit of Shelley and Byron. His eager verse will both challenge and fascinate those who wish to understand th...

These writings by David Wright collect his written conversations with friends, most of them fellow poets. Norman Nicolson, C.H. Sisson, George Barker and Charles Causley are among those included. The elegies, written in informal and direct language, strike a note of celebration and bear witness to what survives loss. The clarity and nuanced rhythms of the poetry are all the more remarkable as Wright has been deaf since childhood.

A collection of both secular and devotional poems. It covers various literary genres and religious modes on which the author drew.

This selection, drawing on a wide range of subject matter, emphasizes Blunden's gift for precise, delicate observation and his mastery of diverse poetic form. His first poem appeared in 1914, The Shepherd in 1922 made his reputation. We can now see him as one of the best Georgians, a man deeply acquainted with that tradition of English poetry which includes Clare-of whose work he was a pioneering editor-and Hardy, and advancing it in his work....

Irish literature exists in two languages. A dual approach is necessary if the tradition, with its historical, political and semantic tensions, is to be understood-indeed, if some of its features are to be appreciated at all.Separate Gaelic and Anglo-Irish anthologies and commentaries have long been readily available, but commentaries dealing with the total Irish literary response are rare. In "The Dual Tradition" Thomas Kinsella presents a vie...

Presented here are translations of the works of six of the most able contemporary Welsh-language poets, writing in styles varying from vers libre to the ancient strict metres. These poets include Bobi Jones, Menna Elfyn, Emyr Lewis, Iwan Llwyd, Gwyneth Lewis, and Elin ap Hywel. In an introductory essay, Minhinnick questions whether modern writers working in an imperiled language might consider English translation of their poems as a form of ad...

A selection from 300 recently discovered poems by Hugh MacDiarmid, who 25 years after his death is still a dissenting voice, are presented in this collection. The power of derisive laughter and the poetic imagination to combat ignorance, prejudice, and stupidity are celebrated by MacDiarmid in these provocative poems on sexuality and marriage. Many of the poems satirize the hypocrisy of the church and bourgeois complacency and powerfully indic...

Best-selling poet Sophie Hannah returns with a wonderful collection of poems that explore and celebrate strong feelings: love, hate, anger, hope - and which strip away the veils of hypocrisy and pretence from all aspects of everyday life. From relationships to the world of work, motherhood and marriage, Sophie Hannah tells it how it is in her own inimitable style. Funny and moving, these poems combine traditional form and rhyme with a contempo...

In October 1879, Mallarme's eight year-old son Anatole died after months of illness. Malarme wrote 210 sheets of pencilled notes towards a poem about this death, and they did not appear in his lifetime. When first published in 1961, they revealed an unknown side of Mallarme.

A selection from the work of one of modern Greece's poets. It is drawn from various periods of his career and traces his development from early surrealism, in which he transforms French influence into a distinct personal voice and mythology, through the dramatic style of "The Axion Esti" with its blend of spirituality and earthiness.
