Letter Writing Among Poets: From William Wordsworth to Elizabeth Bishop

Dr Jonathan Ellis

Fifteen enlightening chapters by leading international biographers, critics and poets examine letter writing among poets in the last 200 years. Poets discussed include Coleridge, Wordsworth, Keats and Shelley in the nineteenth century and Eliot, Yeats, Bishop and Larkin in the twentieth. Divided into three sections – Contexts and Issues, Romantic and Victorian Letter Writing and Twentieth-Century Letter Writing – the volume demonstrates that real letters still have an allure that virtual post struggles to replicate.
