Strange Likeness: The Use of Old English in Twentieth-Century Poetry
Jones, Chris (Lecturer in Poetry, University of St Andrews)
Strange Likeness examines how Old English was rediscovered by twentieth-century poets, and the uses to which they put that discovery in their own writing. Poets discussed include Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden, Edwin Morgan, and Seamus Heaney, whose translation of Beowulf is for the first time fully contextualized within the rest of his work.
