Description

Dare to write, dare to win. A study of working-class poetry and poetics. 'Do you love poetry? But like many people do you think only people like William Wordsworth, Elizabeth Barrett-Browning, Lord Tennyson and those from similar social backgrounds were writing verse in the 19th century, the birth of capitalism? This study seeks to illustrate that working-class poets and their supporters also wrote poetry in the same epoch, a 'hidden history.' Yet this study goes beyond merely illuminating a tradition of working-class poets. It argues for a 'proletarian poetic' and that the future of aesthetics resides within this working-class poetic.'

Author Biography:

Nigel's life was saved by creative writing and academia. He had been a runaway to the counterculture in London as a young teenager with all the accompanying chaos. He was later taken into County Council Child Care and then transferred to the psychiatric system. His life spiralled out of control until he began to write seriously and study. He has gained a BA in Humanities with Creative Writing and is now half-way through a Masters Degree in English, both at The Open University. He lives with mental health problems.
