    Extractions: Permalink Comments (1) RSS Born in 1906, John Betjeman is considered the most popular British poet of the twentieth century. Raised in London, Betjeman attended Highgate Junior School and Malborough before going on to Oxford University. During his younger years Betjeman studied briefly with T.S Eliot. The British poet has earned countless awards and but his poetry is considered difficult to characterize. He had a challenging relationship with his father and Betjeman was very sensitive about his German sounding name. The poet's father had high hopes his son would follow him into the furniture making business - unfortunately Betjeman had no interest in business, instead he want to make his living through his writing. Those two issues play out in a defensive nature in his poetry. His sensitive side comes through at times, especially when he mentions the relationship with his father in his works. However, though his ability to move a reader was significant, he was best known for his funny poetry. Though his quirkiness appealed to the public, the lack of seriousness did not always set well with critics and therefore he has seen little academic discussion since his passing in 1984. In response to his campiness and humorous trend, Betjeman indicated that it was often easier to express serious feelings in the form of a joke or light poem. Said Betjeman, "I very rarely talk about what I really feel."

    Extractions: 'The greatest and most genuine English eccentric of the century' Sunday Times John Betjeman (1906-1984) was not simply one of the best-loved contemporary English poets but was also one of the best-loved Englishmen of the twentieth century. He was never, nor strove to be, the darling of intellectuals or academics, but by pure chance became the darling of the ordinary man in the street. Volume II covers his life from the age of forty-six when his popularity as poet and broadcaster and as campaigner against the destruction of fine buildings was reaching its height.

    Extractions: @import "/misc/drupal.css"; @import "/themes/cj/style.css"; Home Text Books Out of Print At the Pillars of Hercules Collections of John Betjeman’s verse don’t change, they merely become more appropriate. Betjeman poems have always watched the old England die, the self age, believed fearlessly in the gentle virtues and tremulously in salvation. Neither his earlier nor his later work has required to be falsified in order to achieve such remarkable consistency. Betjeman was simply born old, thereby ruling out the prospect of immaturity; or else is still infantile, with maturity never to arrive; or perhaps both. The co-existence of sage and toddler keeps predictability at bay. The only risk he has run as an artist is of being repetitive. Everything in A Nip in the Air has occurred before. But still the ambiguities linger, making the best loved and most cuddly of Poets Laureate a permanent Oddball. Familiarity is deceptive, although very familiar. Really he was already By Appointment in the Thirties, as in ‘Death of King George V’ from Continual Dew: Spirits of well-shot woodcock, partridge, snipe
