The Cycle of Modern Poetry is a compelling collection of essays by G. R. Elliott that seeks to diagnose and resolve the poetic dilemma of the early 20th century. Written during a transformative era for the arts, this work explores the evolution of poetic expression, examining the transition from Romanticism and Victorianism into the complexities of Modernism. Elliott provides deep critical insight into the rhythmic and thematic patterns that define modern verse, offering a scholarly bridge between traditional forms and contemporary innovations.
Through a series of thoughtful analyses, the author evaluates the works of major poets and the philosophical underpinnings of their craft. This volume serves as an essential resource for students of literature and literary history, providing a snapshot of the intellectual climate of the late 1920s and a rigorous examination of the role of poetry in society. The Cycle of Modern Poetry remains a significant contribution to literary theory, inviting readers to reconsider the development of the English poetic tradition and the recurring cycles of creative expression.
