Críticas:

Praise for Geoffrey Hill:

'Hill so entirely eclipses most of his contemporaries that it seems meaningless to rank him in relation to them. Trumpets should be blown, garlands made . . . his greatness is as certain as the poets he invokes' Daily Telegraph

'Hill is often and rightly said to be the greatest living English poet . . . [He] can write lines with a deep gravelly ring to them which could only come from powerful thinking about the English language and its inner energies. He can describe England with a warm depth that no other living poet can match . . . brilliant writing' Guardian

Reseña del editor:

Geoffrey Hill's latest book takes its title from an obscure pamphlet of Milton's, a poet in whose footsteps Hill can justly claim to follow. Again we confront his usual obsessions ― language, governance, war, politics, the contemporary and classical worlds and the nature of poetry itself. This is without a doubt the work of a major poet, writing at the height of his powers.
