Movement (literature)

The Movement was a term coined by J. D. Scott, literary editor of the Spectator, in 1954 to describe a group of writers including Kingsley Amis, Philip Larkin, Donald Alfred Davie, Enright, Wain, E. Jennings and Conquest. The Movement produced two anthologies: Poets of the 1950s (1955) and New Lines (1956). Their tone is anti-romantic and rational.
