Poet's Progress, from Hardy to Day Lewis
TO make an orderly anthology of modern poetry is about as difficult as writing a history of the past three decades. Rather more difficult, because the poets who distil our ex- perience into their poems lead lives which are highly individual; one keeps his eyes fixed doggedly on the country, another turns to the town, a third to religion, and the result is a muddle which is not made clearer by the roundabout way in which they in- fluence one another.
Robert Lynd's "Anthology of Modern Poetry," which begins with Hardy and ends with Auden, Day Lewis, Spender and MacNeice, is a record of this sort.
