'Manchester: August 16th & 17th 1819' is a poem sequence
constructed from historical witness statements of those two days in
Manchester. This edition has illustrations from contemporary
newspapers as well as an afterword by John Seed. 'There is surely
no more radical decentring of the subject/author in modernist
writing,' John Seed remarks of Charles Reznikoff's Testimony, in
the 'Afterword' to this book. The first part of 'Manchester: August
16th & 17th 1819', written in 1973 but previously unpublished,
applies Reznikoff's method to historical materials on the so-called
'Peterloo Massacre'. The second part reflects on this method,
noting convergences to some recent discussions in the United States
around 'uncreative writing' and 'conceptual writing'.
