His schooling introduced him to the “classics”; but it also deprived him of a clear identification with the place where he grew up. His work reflects and explores this tension; and it may be seen, in some ways, as a form of “identity construction.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book examines key texts such as \u003ci\u003ev. \u003c\/i\u003eand the \u003ci\u003eSchool of Eloquence \u003c\/i\u003esequence, where this “construction” takes different forms—oscillating between identity as a state, or a process; as continuity, or change; or as the outcome of conformity, or revolt.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis second edition has been extensively revised and includes a new chapter on Harrison’s \u003ci\u003eElegies\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eidentity studies – Tony Harrison – British poetry, elegy, contemporary poetry – memory studies – nostalgia studies – working-class culture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044509057367,"sku":"9783631837450","price":46.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/constructing-identity-in-the-poetry-of-tony-harrison-revised-and-expanded-edition-9783631837450","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
