Sinossi
Excerpt from Plays of the Ridings
Of human cities torture, and Byronism became a European cult. The twentieth-century poet needs either to hark back to the larger significance of Rousseau's gospel of a Return to Nature, or to substitute for it the new gospel of a Return to the Folk. Such a gospel would bring poetry into touch with the progress of modern democracy and with the rise of the twentieth-century folk to self-realisation. Modern democracy cannot do without art and poetry, nor can art and poetry do without democracy the sooner a spiritual fellowship is established between them the better will it be for both.
By a Return to the Folk I mean something more than that the poets of to - morrow, born like Shelley or Swinburne in the hall, or like Tennyson in the rectory, should choose miners or fishermen or loom-workers or agricultural labourers as the heroes of their poems instead of Arthurian knights or the gods and titans of Greek mythology.
