Product details


Product Description

Adam Newey, The Guardian
"an immensely valuable and rigorous book"

Review
The strength of the book lies in its close readings of syntax, structure and semantic nuance. (Tears in the Fence )

Stimulating ... uncovers recent developments within English poetry. (Tears in the Fence )

... an immensely valuable and rigorous book.

In Peter McDonald's important, intelligent and provocative book, a principled attention to form yields genuine insights which elude most critics ... McDonald's reading of Hill is, like all his readings, perspicacious and revealing. (Adam Kirsch, Times Literary Supplement )
