| Popis: |
Francis and Groes reiterate that an extraordinary literary energy is emerging in the twenty-first-century Black Country, which gives rise to a sense of hope and positivity for an area that has experienced poverty and decline for a long time. The authors connect the intellectual and creative threads in this book together to create a Black Country Poetics consisting of ten characteristics: they analyse metaphors associated with the Black Country; focus on Black Country materiality and subjectivity as well as the long, inspirational history of the area that is connected to the importance of personal and collective memory. The chapter ends with a speculation about the plurality of futures for the Black Country—suggesting that we can be modestly hopeful and optimistic about the area in times to come. |
