Dennis Brown's book assesses Sir John Betjeman's contribution to poetry in the light of the way that his key themes have specific relevance to postmodern and environmental concerns, emphasising its ironic self-reflexivity, its rendering of Englishness and a 'soft' masculinity, and its ecumenical Christian tolerance.
