FORMATION OF MODERN ENGLISH POETRY IN THE LATE XIX AND EARLY XX CENTURIES

Abstract

English poetry of the late XIX and early XX century endured many changes not only in its form and traditions but also in its values, ideas and images. In this work we tried to analyze those turning points for English poetry, to discuss the main shifts of the period, commonly called the "Anglo-American Poetic Revolution." Prominent authors of the period, their role and contribution into the formation of new, modern poetry are discussed.
