Beskrivning

This text provides a discussion of poetry's relation to place, and its role in the self-definition of communities as the monolithic ideologies of the nation-states fragment into a mosaic of peoples, languages, cultures and between-cultures. The text ranges from the Elizabethan period to the 1990s.
