Recenzii

His amphibious intelligence, moving between creativity and scholarship, [makes me] think of him as an example of a man who proved how illusory was Yeats' proffered choice between 'perfection of the life or of the work.' -- Seamus Heaney A powerful apocalyptic … tone predominates, yet identifiable fragments of late-Thirties society can still be discerned, churning around in the echo-chamber of Allott's imagination … at which moments the effect is something like MacNeice's bagpipe music rescored for cellos and muffled drums. -- Russell Davies New Statesman His poetry [is] original and personal in a way rare among young poets in any period but perhaps particularly in the 1930s. [F]ew poets in this century have written consistently with such wit and feeling, such natural elegance and style. -- Julian Symons Times Literary Supplement
