Poets & the Peacock Dinner C

By Lucy McDiarmid

Book Overview

Lucy McDiarmid's study is an absorbing work of rigorous scholarship consistently enlivened by a sharp and delightful wit. Its triumph resides in a lovingly meticulous unfolding of the webs of significance which radiate from this small gathering: literary homosociality, the practical business of coteries, the development of modernist poetics, assumptions about gender and creativity, and the politics of anti-imperialism. Few indeed are the books which so substantially vindicate the most ambitious claims of literary-historical scholarship.
