Publisher's Synopsis

This volume starts from the key misrepresentation of orthodox poetry criticism, that the conservative is also the new, and sets out to define the British refusal to innovate. In the attempt to set up publicly accountable criteria for what counts as new, the book goes from the 1950s to the 1990s, identifying the stylistic innovations at each point.
