Notes: "My aim has been to trace, simultaneously, the evolution of poetry in France and England ... My concern is less with poetry in itself than with the 'idea of poetry'; I have tried to discover, in each country and in each period, what the poets were trying to do, what the word poetry meant for them and their generation."--Introd.
