""The Advance of English Poetry in the Twentieth Century"" is a comprehensive study of the evolution of English poetry in the 20th century, written by William Lyon Phelps. The book delves into the works of prominent poets like T.S. Eliot, W.B. Yeats, Robert Frost, and others, analyzing their styles, themes, and contributions to the literary world. Phelps also explores the cultural and historical context surrounding these poets and their works, providing readers with a deeper understanding of their significance. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the development of English poetry in the 20th century and the impact it has had on modern literature.Robert Browning, whose normality in appearance and conversation pleased sensible folk and shocked idolaters, summed up in two stanzas the difference between the popular conception of a poet and the real truth. One might almost take the first stanza as representing the Irish and the second the English temperament.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
