- This 80,000-word research monograph draws five major poets and their social and critical milieu into a coherent whole. In addition to surveying existing criticism and offering new interpretations and contextualisations, the book draws on original archival research in the Penguin Archive at Bristol University, the Group Papers and Peter Porter Papers at Reading and the Alvarez Archive at the British Library as well as original author interviews. Along with a new c.6,000-word Afterword in the 2020 paperback edition, the book’s pioneering work on Alvarez and Plath has significantly altered our understanding of the contexts and reception of Plath’s writing.
