    Airs and Ditties of No Man's Land, Christopher Reid, Rack Press, 2011, 0956101372, 9780956101372, . , , , , . Christopher Reid: I had to be coaxed into it by Paul Keegan, my editor at Faber and Faber, who, ten years ago or more, suggested I might put a Selected together. At the time I was reluctant—I don't have that retrospective urge, really. But then I got the big prize last year and I thought, 'Come on, I've got to do it. There's no point in being precious'. And in the end it wasn't so painful, going back and rereading and coming to judgments about old work. CR: The Hong Kong part was over by the time I was four. My parents came to this country, briefly, at that stage, so my memories of Hong Kong are very vague and probably more photographic than direct. My parents weren't especially bookish, but one of the books they had around the house was a volume of selections from the magazine Punch, which I loved for the cartoons. Then I started to notice that there were these arrangements of words in the corners of some of the pages. They were poems, little vers de société of the kind that Punch in the 1950s used to publish. I found the actual volume the other day, in a secondhand bookshop, and bought it as souvenir. But it's quite hard to be amused by it now. At the time, though, I was enchanted. I thought, 'Gosh, you can play around with words like this, can you?' and started doing so myself.

  • THE UNIVERSITY of HULL the Creative Writer in the Public Sphere
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL The Creative Writer in the Public Sphere being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Mary Aherne, B.A., M.A. October, 2013 Summary This thesis provides an analysis of the creative writer in contemporary Britain, using both literary and cultural theory to define and understand the roles available to the writer. It explores how these roles are interpreted by writers. The thesis offers new research and insights into the scope of current patronage practices, examines how the writer engages with these new roles, and assesses the potential impact on the writer, the reader and literature. Based on research conducted in the UK, this thesis focuses on four major contexts: the writer in residence, the prize culture, the literary festival, and the writer in the blogosphere. It considers how the writer’s role has been reconstructed in different social and cultural contexts. In addition, this study highlights writers’ perception of their public role and their position in society; the multiple and complex power relations inherent in these roles; the increasingly public presence of the writer; the reader-writer relationship, and the impact on the literature produced. Reflecting my own literary interests and practices, it focuses on the work and experiences of poets and novelists, rather than on those of dramatists and non- fiction writers. This study contributes to the as yet limited body of research into contemporary patronage practices. Furthermore, the thesis contributes to the historicising and theorisation of the creative writer which links the individual experience of writers with social and cultural structures and processes, making reference to the theories of Theodor Adorno, Roland Barthes, Pierre Bourdieu, Terry Eagleton and Jürgen Habermas.

  • G-LSUD3 Enlit 6-368: Contemporary British Poetry
    ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI SCHOOL OF ENGLISH G-LSUD3 EnLit 6-368: Contemporary British Poetry Instructor: Dr. Kanarakis Yannis Class: Thursdays 16:00 – 18:30 (Room: 01 New Building) Office: Wednesdays 12:30- 14:30 (Room: 310 E) COURSE DESCRIPTION This course aims to introduce students to contemporary English-language poetry in Great Britain and Ireland by tracing the most important developments, poets, texts and movements from the post-war period to the present day. After a brief overview of the contemporary poets’ most influential forebears, students will be given the opportunity to be introduced to the politically committed poetry of the 30s, the surrealist and New Romantic trends of the 40s, the “Movement” of the 50s, the “British Poetry Revival” of the 60s and the 70s, and we will conclude by considering some of the most engaging and original poetry written in Britain and Ireland the last three decades as expressed through some contemporary movements like the “Martians,” the “Poeclectics,” the “Poetry Slam,” the “New Poetry,” and the “New Generation” movement, minority poetry, performance poetry, new media, digital, experimental and twitter poetry. The emphasis of the course will be on reading and engaging with poetry first hand. The organizing principle throughout the course will, nevertheless, be the connection between poetry and innovation, form, gender, multiculturalism, minorities, politics, nationality, performativity, spatiality, subjectivity (especially the lyric subject) and electronic writing. COURSE ASSESSMENT/REQUIREMENTS - Students can choose either to take the end-of-semester exam which will cover the entire semester OR write an MLA-styled research paper of about 4.000 words (40%) and answer only one question in the final exam (60%).

  • Jonathan Wordsworth 1932-2006
    Jonathan Wordsworth 1932 – 2006 Nick Roe ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ONATHAN WORDSWORTH was a distinguished scholar of the poet JWilliam Wordsworth and English Romanticism. From the 1960s he led a golden age of Wordsworth studies in the UK and America that saw the publication of major biographies, critical studies, and scholarly editions of the poet’s works. To recover the earliest versions of poems, Jonathan Wordsworth pioneered a form of editorial archaeology, whether published or in manuscript, that represented Wordsworth’s ‘original intentions’. This meant not just Lyrical Ballads as first published in 1798 or The Prelude completed in 1805, but the earliest attempts at those poems that the poet himself regarded as in some way ‘complete’. His work gave an entirely fresh sense of Wordsworth’s poetic achievement, and led to the widespread study of hitherto unknown poems such as ‘The Ruined Cottage’, ‘The Pedlar’, and the early Two-Part Prelude (1799-1800). He was one of three Advisory Editors of the Cornell Wordsworth series. Alongside some poems that had hitherto existed only in manuscript, Jonathan Wordsworth edited well-known poems like ‘Tintern Abbey’, ‘The Brothers’, and ‘Michael’ for C.U.P. These recovered poems included The Pedlar and The Ruined Cottage, both of which were the focus of his critical study of Wordsworth’s tragic vision, The Music of Humanity (1969). With Stephen Gill and M. H. Abrams, he was a co-editor of the Norton edition of The Prelude 1799, 1805, 1850 (1979). More recently he edited four texts of the Prelude for Penguin (1994) and, with his wife Jessica, he co-edited The New Penguin Book of Romantic Poetry (2003).
