The main focus of this volume is the poetry written in the indigenous territorial languages of the British Isles during the second half of the twentieth century. But the book is a discussion rather than a survey. It is concerned with poetry's relation to place, and its role in the self-definition of communities as the monolithic ideologies of the nation-states fragment into a mosaic of peoples, languages, cultures and between-cultures.
After a polemical introduction which leaves us in no doubt that questions of place and region, centre and periphery, are urgent and political as well as literary, the book divides into three sections.
The first establishes a historical perspective, from the English nationalism of the Elizabethan period, through the ambiguities and contradictions of Romanticism and the metropolitan concept of culture advocated by Matthew Arnold, to the debates of our own century; Pound on provincialismTomlinson versus Larkin, Seamus Heaney and the Field Day pamphlets.
The central section of the book not only displays the rich variety of contemporary poetry being written in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and non-metropolitan England, but gives a sense of the issues and internal tensions within those communities which poetry addresses. A final section consists of case studies in which particular authors and texts that relate to the overall theme are considered in greater detail.
