This book explores poetic responses to depth by twentieth-century writers including W.H. Auden, Ezra Pound, David Jones, Elizabeth Jennings, Stevie Smith, R.S. Thomas, and Donald Davie. It argues that the language and concept of 'the deep' re-invigorated religious and poetic discourse amidst the cultural upheaval of post-war Britain.
