In Speculative Poetry and the Modern Alliterative Revival, editor Dennis Wilson Wise argues that speculative poets over the last century have initiated a long unrecognized revival of medieval alliterative poetics. This anthology collects for the first time those poets—C. S. Lewis, Poul Anderson, and others—who have fomented this revival.
Dennis Wilson Wise is professor of practice and director of undergraduate studies in the English Department at the University of Arizona.
