Items related to Poets in Their Time
Widely regarded as one of England's most sensitive readers of poetry, Barbara Everett here examines the poetry of Donne, Milton, Marvell, Rochester, Pope, Keats, Browning, Eliot, Auden, and Philip Larkin. The implicit argument of these essays is designed to show the way each poet remains an individual-idiosyncratic, odd, rich-while interacting with the conditions of a particular historical context. To this difficult task Everett brings an extraordinary ability to read closely and an intimate knowledge of the period.

Review:
quite exceptionally good ... one of the finest collections of criticism for years ... It blends historical insight and critical perception with real originality (Frank Kermode, London Review of Books)
She has an acute ear for a poet's voice, both in the individual life and in the work as a whole ... But an ear without a brain is not enough. Barbara Everett also shows a developed and fastidious historical imagination. (Times Higher Education Supplement)
