Barry MacSweeney and the Politics of Post-War British Poetry
Author: Luke Roberts
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319459589
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
This book examines the literary impact of famed British poet, Barry MacSweeney, who worked at the forefront of poetic discovery in post-war Britain. Agitated equally by politics and the possibilities of artistic experimentation, Barry MacSweeney was ridiculed in the press, his literary reputation only recovering towards the end of his life which was cut short by alcoholism. With close readings of MacSweeney alongside his contemporaries, precursors, and influences, including J.H. Prynne, Shelley, Jack Spicer, and Sylvia Plath, Luke Roberts offers a fresh introduction to the field of modern poetry. Richly detailed with archival and bibliographic research, this book recovers the social and political context of MacSweeney’s exciting, challenging, and controversial impact on modern and contemporary poetry.

Book Description
Emma sees something impossible again – a man walking unharmed out of a deep churning river. Last time her parents thought she was hallucinating. Now she’ll keep it secret. Is Emma going crazy? Or does she see things the others can’t see – or won’t admit to seeing? On the surface is a family in crisis. Emma is an awkward teenager in a world of her own, and there is a web of secrets her family are keeping from each other, which can only be untangled if they have the courage to share what they have seen. There seems to be a hidden world – magical or dangerous – only a hair’s breadth away from everyday Northumberland. The family befriend the mysterious Mr Woodreeve, and they begin to dream of moving to the country. But why is he so friendly, and why is Emma in particular drawn to him? When he disappears, leaving behind his own peculiar story for them to read, they are more confused than ever. Secret letters, secret places, secret lovers all have to be discovered and understood, before the family can find their way towards the truth. Will they be brave enough to share these secrets – and how will their lives be changed?
