This is the only monograph to consider the entire thirty-year
career, publications, and influence of Britain's first female poet
laureate. It outlines her impact on trends in contemporary poetry
and establishes what we mean by 'Duffyesque' concerns and
techniques. Discussions of her writing and activities prove how she
has championed the relevance of poetry to all areas of contemporary
culture and to the life of every human being. Individual chapters
discuss the lyrics of 'love, loss, and longing'; the socially
motivated poems about the 1980s; the female-centred volumes and
poems; the relationship between poetry and public life; and poetry
and childhood and written for children. The book should whet the
appetite of readers who know little of Duffy's work to find out
more, while providing students and scholars with an in-depth
analysis of the poems in their contexts. It draws on a wide range
of critical works and includes an extensive list of further
reading.
