Abstract
Christopher Whyte and Rodney Stenning Edgecombe apply radically different critical approaches to their chosen subjects, modern Scottish poetry and Edwin Morgan's poetry respectively. Edgecombe greatly admires Morgan's oeuvre, treating him as a masterly shape-shifter of traditional poetic genres, thereby transforming them, while Whyte seizes on what he regards as ludic and postmodern elements in Morgan's work. Scotland's Poet Laureate is, indeed, prominent in both these substantial works of critical analysis, exclusively so in Edgecombe's monograph, and as a key 20 t h century Scottish poet in Whyte's book. One critique is genre-based, and the other more concerned with gender theorising.
