Description

This study of Peter Ackroyd engages with the aspects of literary stylistics, and personal and national identity, so important in his work. Rejecting the postmodern label previously attached to the author, Gibson and Wolfreys provide a consideration of all Ackroyd's writing to date, from his poetry and critical thought, to his novels and biographies.

Author Biography:

JEREMY GIBSON was born in Crawley West Sussex in 1967. He obtained his Doctorate at the University of Sussex, an MA (Distinction) at the University of Leicester and BA (Hons.) from the University of Liverpool. In 1995 he joined the Higher Education Quality Council, where he quite soon attained the position of Project Officer. It was about this time Jeremy Gibson began his long held ambition to write a critical study of Peter Ackroyd's fiction, for which that author had already agreed to provide him with interviews. In the Autumn of 1996, while cycling along the sea-front cycle path in Brighton, Jeremy Gibson plunged down an unprotected stair-well and died later that day without regaining consciousness.JULIAN WOLFREYS is the editor of numerous books and has also written Being English: Narratives, Idioms and Performance of National Identity from Coleridge to Trollope (1994), The Rhetoric of Affirmative Resistance: Dissonant Identities from Carroll to Derrida (1997), Deconstruction - Derrida (1998), and Writing London: The Trace of the Urban Text from Blake to Dickens (1998).
