"This is a timely and engaging monograph informed by thorough, perceptive and sophisticated scholarship. The pairings of poets are novel and illuminating - I know of no other study that examines Anglophone and German-language poetry of this period in such detail - and Thomas's deft combination of ideas from German and Anglophone traditions is highly suggestive." (Neal Alexander, Lecturer in Twentieth Century Literature, Aberystwyth University, UK and author of Ciaran Carson: Space, Place, Writing) "Space, Place and Poetry in English and German, 1960-1975 offers an ambitious, original perspective on the poetry of six acclaimed poets from six different countries over nearly two decades. It pairs major writers from the Anglophone and German traditions in a series of genuinely illuminating case studies, which run counter to conventional wisdom and contribute to a bold topographical reading of post-war poetry. This is subtle, detailed and constantly inspiring, interdisciplinary research the way it should be done." (Karen Leeder, Professor of Modern German Literature, University of Oxford, UK).
