Autorenporträt
Michael O'Neill is Professor of English and Director of the Institute of Advanced Study at Durham University, UK.

Madeleine Callaghan received her PhD from the University of Durham, UK. Her research interests extend throughout the Romantic period's poetry and prose and twentieth-century and Victorian poetry. She is currently preparing her thesis for publication and working on a new monograph on poetic influence in Wordsworth, Byron and Yeats.
Rezensionen
"This authoritative yet accessible book carries the reader deep into the rewards of modern poetry. O'Neill and Callaghan combine their own subtly informed accounts of the work of leading poets with judiciously chosen extracts from classic critical studies. Broad in scope, deep in insight, clear in historical exposition, and always attentive to the verbal make-up of particular poems and imaginative worlds, /Twentieth-Century British Poetry/ is at once an introduction and a revisitable archive, full of sustaining guidance." -- John Kerrigan, University of Cambridge

"Both formally attuned and contextually alert, the author-editors have here selected passages from the best recent critics and interwoven them with their own informed and illuminating commentary, revealing both the innovation of modern poetry and its implication within a diverse range of literary traditions. Altogether, the book provides an invaluable companion to one of the great ages of poetry in English." -- Seamus Perry, Balliol College, Oxford
"The editors have admirably carried out their self-imposed tasks ... The somewhat complicated arrangement is amply justified if one considers the work as a classroom tool, aimed primarily at giving a student audience food for thought, Helen Goethals." (Cercles, 2012)
