The Uses of Error by Frank Kermode

The core of this book is a group of essays on some of the central figures of English literature, including Tennyson, Shaw, Forster and Eliot.

Understanding Julian Barnes by Merritt Moseley

Moseley provides close readings of Barnes's book-length works, including Metroland, Before She Met Me, A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters, Talking It Over, and The Porcupine, detective thriller Duffy and short stories and non-fiction.

Building on the rich tradition of English-language poetry that preceded them, the major British poets of the 20th century subjected their art form to the influence and permutations of modernism, postmodernism, and beyond. This essential survey of a century of innovation and eloquence includes such seminal early and midcentury figures as T.S. Eliot, William Butler Yeats, and Philip Larkin and concludes with analysis and discussion of the more recent contributions of such well-regarded poets as Ted Hughes and Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney. Professor Harold Bloom introduces this volume of critical essays, which also features a chronology, bibliography, and index for reference.

Designed to meet the needs of any classroom, The Reader's Choice has been developed with careful attention to instructional planning for teachers, strategic reading support, and universal access that meets the learning needs of all students.
