Charlotte Mew, after surfacing for the first time here thanks to
Francis' eclectic reading, turns up in a new Oxford anthology. The
_Anthology of Twentieth-Century British and Irish Poetry_, edited by
Keith Tuma (of Miami University at Ohio), runs from Thomas Hardy (born
1840) to Helen MacDonald (born 1970). The volume, beautifully printed
but heavy as hardship, includes five poems by Charlotte Mew.
Since the book landed on the coffee table just last night I haven't
carefully read the introduction. 'Modernism' seems to be a keyword. The
editor claims to include a good number of poets "previously unknown to
or undervalued by many critics and literary historians." (Don't they
all say that?)I checked for my favourite usually missing from
anthologies, Mina Loy, and found eleven pages of her striking poetry.
Good Francis. Ear to the ground!
