Is Sylvia Plath’s Ariel collection sufficient to justify her inclusion (her other work may be accomplished, but is it ‘great?’)?
Do you agree with Laurie Smith’s lists? For instance, does Ezra Pound, undeniably a great editor, also qualify as a great poet? Is Sylvia Plath’s Ariel collection sufficient to justify her inclusion (her other work may be accomplished, but is it ‘great?’)? Are Edward Thomas and Wilfred Owen among the very best Britain has to offer?
