Robert Bridges's literary reputation should be reassessed.,
By lhamilton@panam.edu (McAllen, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robert Bridges: An Annotated Bibliography, 1873-1988 (Hardcover)
Robert Bridges, the Poet Laureate of England from 1913 to 1930, was the first Poet Laureate of the Modern Age. Living during the transitional period between the end of the Victorian Period and the beginning of the modern era, Bridges was the first Poet Laureate to live and write within the context of the pressures of an emerging modern mass/popular culture and the initial cultural shift from print to electronic media. Although his response to the emerging culture was more accepting than is generally credited, his literary reputation has been that he was a conservative and an elitist, one who was out of touch and unsympathetic with the working classes, and one who did not write appropriate patriotic verses in response to World War I. The bibliographic record of Bridges's career, belies this reputation. The primary importance of this bibliography rests in its coverage of secondary source materials pertaining to the literary reputation of Robert Bridges.Caveat Emptor: I am the author of this book.
