The Scamander group : the poets and their poetry, 1918-1929

Abstract

This work explores through critical analysis the poetry of the Scamander poets between the years 1918 to 1929, a time during which the group was formed and was most active in pursuing what could be described as a group agenda. Over the course of writing this thesis many challenges have presented themselves, not least the problem of ascertaining the underlying workings of the group. Whilst the first chapter is strictly biographical, it alone cannot answer the question of the group's artistic bond. So instead I have sought to answer this question throughout.
