Prison Writing and the Literary World tackles international prison
writing and writing about imprisonment in relation to questions of
literary representation and formal aesthetics, the "value" or
"values" of literature, textual censorship and circulation,
institutional networks and literary-critical methodologies. It
offers scholarly essays exploring prison writing in relation to
wartime internment, political imprisonment, resistance and
independence creation, regimes of terror, and personal narratives
of development and awakening that grapple with race, class and
gender. Cutting across geospatial divides while drawing on nation-
and region-specific expertise, it asks readers to connect the
questions, examples and challenges arising from prison writing and
writing about imprisonment within the UK and the USA, but also
across continental Europe, Stalinist Russia, the Americas, Africa
and the Middle East. It also includes critical reflection pieces
from authors, editors, educators and theatre practitioners with
experience of the fraught, testing and potentially inspiring links
between prison and the literary world.
