This book is the first collection of essays on the British prose
poem. With essays by leading academics, critics and practitioners,
the book traces the British prose poem's unsettled history and
reception in the UK as well as its recent popularity. The essays
cover the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries
exploring why this form is particularly suited to the modern age
and yet can still be problematic for publishers, booksellers and
scholars. Refreshing perspectives are given on the Romantics,
Modernists and Post-Modernists, among them Woolf, Beckett and Eliot
as well as more recent poets like Seamus Heaney, Geoffrey Hill,
Claudia Rankine, Jeremy Over and Vahni Capildeo. British Prose
Poetry moves from a contextual overview of the genre's early
volatile and fluctuating status, through to crucial examples of
prose poetry written by established Modernist, surrealist and
contemporary writers. Key questions around boundaries are discussed
more generally in terms of race, class and gender. The British
prose poem's international heritage, influences and influence are
explored throughout as an intrinsic part of its current
renaissance.
