This book provides a thorough analysis of the prolific twenty-year period between 1996 and 2016, from The Triumph of Love to Al Tempo de Tremuoti. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume provides exegetical and interpretive readings of Hall's later work, including the four previously-unpublished collections and substantial expansions and revisions of existing works included in his 2013 collected poems, Broken Hierarchies: Poems 1952-2012, and sets it within its literary, cultural, intellectual and historical contexts. It also considers Hill's later criticism in depth, including the two collections of essays first published in 2008's Collected Critical Writings (Alienated Majesty and Inventions of Value), as well as the Oxford Professor of Poetry lectures, illuminating archival materials from the Hill archive at the University of Leeds, and uncollected critical pieces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlex Wylie explores the poetry and prose thematically, chapter by chapter, providing the reader with a key to the underlying concerns of Hill's later work, and to its influences and exemplars. This book brings a valuable and underappreciated body of work not just to specialists on Hill and modern poetry, but to a wider audience of scholars and readers of modern poetry and modern intellectual history.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlex Wylie is Lecturer in Liberal Arts at York St John University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 07, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42161287168135,"sku":"9781526160225","price":64.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/caf0ac4406e1d4408185ca88e06106c6.webp?v=1733279944","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/geoffrey-hills-later-work-radiance-of-apprehension-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
