The Failure of Conservatism in Modern British Poetry

This volumestarts from the key misrepresentation of orthodox poetry criticism, that the conservative is also the new, and sets out to define the whole British complex of refusing to innovate. In the attempt to set up criteria for what counts as new, it covers the period from the 50s to the 90s, identifying the stylistic innovations at each point."
