Kurzbeschreibung
Andrew Motion was appointed Poet Laureate in 1999, but alongside his work as a poet he also had a significant career as a prize-winning biographer and an illuminating critic. "Ways of Life" celebrates this talent with a selection of his articles about painters and poets, as well as a number of striking personal pieces. The literary essays in "Ways of Life" look at a wide assortment of writers, from John Clare and Ivor Gurney, to marginal figures such as Leigh Hunt and Joseph Severn, and reassess the less well-known work of celebrated writers including John Donne, Christina Rossetti and Thomas Hardy. "Ways of Life" is an original, acute and emotionally-charged collection of writings, from a truly important and insightful writer.

Revaluation of Neglected Writers and Topics (A. Motion's "Ways of Life"
27. März 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I find "Ways of Life" by Andrew Motion fascinating as well as edifying especially because it gives just evaluations of hithertto rather undervalued writers such as John Clare, William Barnes and Ivor Garney. My pleasant suprise is that the Poet Laureate has superb expertise of painters and paintings. I can say that I enjoyed the section 'Painters' best of all. Except for 'Sailing to Italy', every article was new to me.
