Books by Edna Longley

Marking the centenary of his death, this critical study explores Edward Thomas's influence on emergent 'modern poetry' as both critic and lyricist.

Edna Longley's latest collection of essays focusses on poetry itself, and in particular how poets are read at different times and in different contexts. Her essays cover poets such as Edward Thomas, MacNeice, Larkin, Auden, Durcan, Paulin, Mahon and Michael Longley.
