Item description from seller

212 pp. A perfect copy. - The author analyzes the multi-layered and multidimensional theme of identity construction recurring in Tony Harrisons work from the seventies onwards looking at the way it evolved throughout the years. The book examines identity in the frame of the sociological and philosophical thoughts of such thinkers as Emmanuel Levinas and Zygmunt Bauman and in reference to the systematization proposed by Zbigniew Bokszanski: identity as a state or process, identity as a continuity or change, and identity as a consequence of conformity or revolt. - Contents: Introduction "The whole view North" -- Chapter One "Correct your maps: Newcastle is Peru!" Continuity of Exploration and Exploitation in The Loiners -- Chapter Two "Wherever did you get your talent from?" Continuity of Poetic Heritage in The School of Eloquence -- Chapter Three "The still too living dead." Continuity of Mourning in the Selected Elegies from The School of Eloquence -- Chapter Four "Half versus half, the enemies within." Changing Patterns of Revolt in v. -- Chapter Five "This frightening mask." Continuity of Poetic Gaze in Selected War Poems -- Conclusion "How have you been useful for the polis?"
