It may be my ignorance but, despite the notoriety it persists in having, I can't really see the Movement as a 'movement' at all. A few anti-modernist tenets assembled piece-meal by Amis and Conquest, with the blessing of Larkin, a reactive dislike of emotional exuberance etc. The association of poets such as Thom Gunn and, the even more unlikely Ted Hughes with their second New Lines, makes it a church so broad it's hardly a church at all, more like a vague atmosphere. I'm always perplexed as to why something that barely exists has been assigned such a persistent hegemony.
