| Summary | "Modern British Poetry" by Louis Untermeyer is a comprehensive anthology of poetry written in the late 19th to early 20th century. This collection encapsulates various styles and notable poets from this transformative period in British literature, providing readers with a wide array of voices and themes. The book features established figures like Thomas Hardy and W. B. Yeats, as well as works from lesser-known but impactful poets, all reflecting the dynamic changes that literature underwent during this time. The beginning of the volume sets the stage for an exploration of modern British poetry, discussing the decline of Victorian ideals and the emergence of new artistic expressions. Untermeyer presents an introduction that outlines significant literary trends, such as the aesthetic movement led by Oscar Wilde and the Celtic revival spearheaded by William Butler Yeats. This opening section establishes a contextual framework for the poems that follow, providing insight into how the cultural and artistic climate of the era shaped the works included in the anthology. Through an overview of these influences, the text invites readers to appreciate the evolution of poetic forms and the thematic richness that characterizes modern British poetry.
