This book examines the evolution of poetry from Yeats to Eliot, arguing that the 'new poetic' sought to restore a unified sensibility, reconciling the poet, audience, and experience. It analyses the shortcomings of late 19th-century poetry, divided between popular discursive verse and aestheticism, and explores how early 20th-century poets attempted to bridge this divide.
The author re-evaluates the Georgian school, Ezra Pound, and the Imagists, highlighting their role in readjusting the relationship between poet, audience and experience. The book culminates in a reappraisal of T. S. Eliot's poetry and criticism, situating him within a continuous tradition stemming from the Romantic era and redefining the 'newness' of modern poetry.
