British Poetry Since 1960: A Critical Survey is an indispensable scholarly companion for anyone seeking to understand the rich and often fractious landscape of post-war British verse. Edited by Michael Schmidt and Grevel Lindop, this authoritative volume assembles a wide array of critical essays and surveys that map the contours of an era defined by extraordinary formal experimentation, political upheaval, and a radical reimagining of what poetry could be and do — from the Movement's cool restraint to the raucous energy of the Liverpool Poets and beyond. The collection stands as a landmark work of literary criticism, presenting rigorous, close readings alongside broader cultural assessments that situate each poet within the social and intellectual currents of their time. Schmidt and Lindop, both distinguished poets and editors in their own right, bring a practitioner's eye and a critic's rigour to their selections, illuminating connections and tensions that a less informed editorial hand might miss. Rare, authoritative, and bracingly direct in its judgements, this survey remains essential reading for students, scholars, and lovers of modern British verse — and raises the tantalising question of which voices it champions that time has since chosen to forget.
