About this book
Reviews
“Twiddy’s study is very expertly done, draws on a large number of poets and poems, covers three continents, and shows a remarkable knowledge of the poetry landscape over the centuries although his focus is the twentieth century. The author carefully engages with the emotionally laden topic without becoming too pathetic or too distanced.” (Carmen Birkle, Journal of Law and Medicine, Vol. 8, 2016)
