- New essays on important but hitherto little-addressed poetry by the major modern poet Geoffrey Hill
- Includes pioneering work by Rowan Williams and Christopher Ricks
- Provides insights into the cultural, literary, political, and theological complexities of a figure thought by many to be the finest living English poet
- Contains a comprehensive primary bibliography
A collection of new essays on the remarkable work produced by the poet Geoffrey Hill since the mid-1990s. Hill is widely recognised as the finest living English poet and the quality of his recent publications has been matched by the pace at which he produces quantities of profound and startlingly original verse. This book brings together work on Hill by figures as diverse as Rowan Williams and Christopher Ricks, along with penetrating treatments of these late writings by younger scholars, in order to provide a series of fresh perspectives on some of the finest and most challenging poetry now being written. It explores topics including physicality, death, confession, and
recusancy, and also contains a large-scale bibliography of Hill's writings, which will be invaluable to all those seeking to read more widely in the work of this fascinating and exceptional figure.Readership: Students and scholars of contemporary poetry
