Abstract
I noted in the previous chapter that the 1950s came to be characterised by some critics as the era dominated by the Group and the Movement. The 1960s was notable for the emergence arid establishment of three major figures in post-war poetry — Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath and Philip Larkin. Of these, only the last had been associated, and that loosely, with the poetry movements of the previous decade.
