TITLE   The Failure of Conservatism in Modern British Poetry
AUTHOR   DUNCAN, Andrew
DESCRIPTION   DARK HORSEY SAYS- A collection of Duncan's often iconoclastic views & reviews giving a history of UK poetry & its disdainful but anxious mainstream & modernist-postmodernist tendencies & genealogies that the mainstream keeps out of the public eye. Why is it, Duncan asks, that no UK poet born after 1914 is considered major anywhere else in the world, huh? Where the establishment in Britain regards all innovation as unnecessary & self-incrimminatin' & pays it no attention, Duncan instead traces the various developments in this unremarked & more vital 'other' counter-tradition within British poetry.
