Product Description
Product Description
SCENES FROM COMUS is the new sequence of poems from Britain's most original and ferocious modern prophet, Geoffrey Hill. In the words of Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, Hill remains for me the supreme voice of the last few decades The recent work, telegraphic, angry and unconsoled, at once assertive and self-dispossessing, is extraordinary'

Second edition evidently needed...
22 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback
This is one of Hill's most brilliant and beautiful works. Also his language relaxes some, almost in tribute to Milton's language in Comus. Critics love to quote this book, which says something about the accessibility of the work. But philosophically, theologically, linguistically, this book is such a treat. If you have any book from Hill's later work, have this book. If it's too pricey in its current edition, buy Hill's Selected Poems, which contain a hefty portion of Scenes from Comus.
