Trespassing in the Archive
Poetry in Conversation with History
Description
This edited volume brings together a diverse group of scholars to examine works of poetry that engage, question, or reimagine history.
Authors question the ethics, aesthetics, and politics of archival work to explore the ways in which poetry has offered a hypothetical testing ground where the power dynamics, upheavals, and discontent reflected in historical texts can be renegotiated.
