Review # 1 was written on 2017-10-04 00:00:00 James Bradley 'Georgian' poetry has two meanings: poetry of Britain and Ireland written in the period 1910-1929; and poetry of a movement free of anxiety, self-doubt, self-hate, a movement that values "natural simplicity, emotional warmth, and moral innocence" as the introduction by James Reeves phrases it, and is set more in the countryside than in cities. So although Eliot, Pound and so on were increasingly influential in this period, they are not Georgian poets. 'Georgian' includes the period and the poetry of the First World War. The twenty poets included in this volume were born between 1859 (A.E. Housman) and 1896 (Edmund Blunden); five of them (Edward Thomas, James Elroy Flecker, Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen and Charles Sorley) died between 1915 and 1918; the others lived on for decades afterwards, some having survived the war, some having been too old for it. Their poetry continued to evolve for the most part, but their later work is not included in this book. So the wide range of tone and theme includes all these: Housman's 'Her strong enchantments failing': The Queen of air and darkness Begins to shrill and cry, 'O young man, O my slayer, Tomorrow you will die.' Davies 'The Inquest': For as I looked at that one eye, It seemed to laugh, and say with glee: 'What caused my death you'll never know - Perhaps my mother murdered me.' Stephens' 'A Glass of Beer': May she marry a ghost and bear him a kitten, and may The High King of Glory permit her to get the mange. Sassoon's 'Prelude: The Troops': Dim, gradual thinning of the shapeless gloom Shudders to drizzling daybreak that reveals Disconsolate men who stamp their sodden boots And turn dulled, sunken faces to the sky Haggard and hopeless. Owen's 'Anthem for Doomed Youth': What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? Only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle Can patter out their hasty orizons. and Graves' 'Outlaws': Owls - they whinny down the night; Bats go zigzag by. Ambushed in shadow beyond sight The outlaws lie. Pastoral in peace or war, calm or charm or outrage, the Georgian movement was dismissed as outdated and second-rate throughout most of the rest of the century as poetry turned to formless introspection - turned away, in my mind, from the word-for-word memorableness that is a requirement of poetry. The Georgians, as represented in this book, are highly memorable and excellent poets.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-07 00:00:00 Peter Crawford An important note that this collection regards the period when George V reigned (1910-1936), not the 18th century Georgian period. Otherwise, this was a nice selection of wartime and modernist poetry, though I wish more women poets were included, given how this was the period of the Suffragette movement and the roaring 20s.
