Geoffrey Hill and His Contexts Hardback
Edited by Piers Pennington, Matthew Sperling
Part of the Modern Poetry series
Hardback
Description
Geoffrey Hill is one of the most significant poets currently at work in the English language.
The essays gathered in this book present a number of new contexts in which to explore a wide range of his writings, from the poems he wrote as an undergraduate to the recent volumes A Treatise of Civil Power (2007) and Collected Critical Writings (2008).
Connections are made between the early and the later poetry, and between the poetry and the criticism, and archival materials are considered along with the published texts.
The essays also make comparisons across disciplines, discussing Hill's work in relation to theology, philosophy and intellectual history, to literature from other languages, and to the other arts.
In doing so, they cast fresh light upon Hill's dense, original and sometimes challenging writings, opening them up in new ways for all readers of his work.
