Constructing Identity in the Poetry of Tony Harrison: Transatlantic Studies in British and North American Culture

Autor Agata Handley
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 iul 2021
When, in 1948, Tony Harrison entered Leeds Grammar School as a scholarship boy, he found himself, as Richard Hoggart saw, ¿at the friction point of two cultures¿. His schooling introduced him to the ¿classics¿; but it also deprived him of a clear identification with the place where he grew up. His work reflects and explores this tension; and it may be seen, in some ways, as a form of ¿identity construction.¿ The book examines key texts such as v. and the School of Eloquence sequence, where this ¿construction¿ takes different forms¿oscillating between identity as a state, or a process; as continuity, or change; or as the outcome of conformity, or revolt. This second edition has been extensively revised and includes a new chapter on Harrison¿s Elegies.
