  • Yorkshire Poetry, 1954-2019: Language, Identity, Crisis
    YORKSHIRE POETRY, 1954-2019: LANGUAGE, IDENTITY, CRISIS Kyra Leigh Piperides Jaques, BA (Hons) and MA, (Hull) PhD University of York English & Related Literature October 2019 This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (grant number AH/L503848/1) through the White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities. ABSTRACT This thesis explores the writing of a large selection of twentieth- and twenty-first- century East and West Yorkshire poets, making a case for Yorkshire as a poetic place. The study begins with Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes, and concludes with Simon Armitage, Sean O’Brien and Matt Abbott’s contemporary responses to the EU Referendum. Aside from arguing the significance of Yorkshire poetry within the British literary landscape, it presents poetry as a central form for the region’s writers to represent their place, with a particular focus on Yorkshire’s languages, its identities and its crises. Among its original points of analysis, this thesis redefines the narrative position of Larkin and scrutinizes the linguistic choices of Hughes; at the same time, it identifies and explains the roots and parameters of a fascinating new subgenre that is emerging in contemporary West Yorkshire poetry. This study situates its poems in place whilst identifying the distinct physical and social geographies that exist, in different ways, throughout East and West Yorkshire poetry. Of course, it interrogates the overarching themes that unite the two regions too, with emphasis on the political and historic events that affected the region and its poets, alongside the recurring insistence of social class throughout many of the poems studied here.

Introduction Over the past five years Hull has transformed into a nationally recognised and celebrated city, whilst at the same time responding to all of the challenges faced by the public sector. Hull is rapidly moving towards becoming a net contributor to the regional economy. Delivery of Green Port Hull and City of Culture 2017 has provided a platform that has set in train an economic investment profile to rival any city in the Northern Powerhouse and Yorkshire Devolution Agenda. Population, the economy and visitor numbers have also continued to grow. All of which has led to a new degree of confidence and self-belief. Whilst at the same time challenges remain for those most vulnerable or 'distanced' from engagement and excluded from the benefits of economic success. Demands on key services such as children's and adults social care, housing, transport and education also continues to grow. This places ever greater strains on budgets which continue to reduce, due to year on year reductions in government funding.
