Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

A study of English and Anglophone poetry from the end of World War II to the present. After looking at the late work of key Modernists like Eliot and Auden, we will consider the rapidly changing and expanding notions of "British" poetry during the last five decades. Among topics to be examined are: expatriates who made their careers in America and elsewhere; writers who redefined "English" poetry for a new, post-war reality; and increasingly dominant voices from Ireland and the Commonwealth. Authors will include Dylan Thomas, Stevie Smith, Philip Larkin, Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney, Geoffrey Hill, Eavan Boland, Paul Muldoon, and Derek Walcott.
