„Eminently readable, and thankfully largely free ofsocio-political posturing and theorising, it provides a measuredhistorical overview and a critical introduction, and one can seethat the overall approach aims to be integrative, charting what aredescribed as intricate negotiations between the British and Irishpoetic traditions, and marshalling rival tendencies andpositions.“ (Suite101. com, 17 February 2014)Gives some sense of why poetry provides the sharpest of lenses through which to view the historical and social developments of the second half of the twentieth century, and will serve both as a useful source of reference and a provocative starting point for discussion.„ (English Studies, 1 December 2011)
“Engaging and uncluttered by jargon. The mix of formal and thematic issues with social and cultural contexts doubles the usefulness of this collection as a preparatory tool for students of the period." (CHOICE, December 2009)
