This is the first full-length study of the poet, novelist and
translator Christopher Meredith, best-known for his novel Shifts
(1988), the classic account of post-industrialisation in Wales. It
draws on new material from interviews with Meredith to locate his
writing in the context of his native south-east Wales. This locale,
with its distinctive combination of rural and industrial and its
fractured history, informs a concern with place, language and
identity that runs through Meredith's work. Using chapters which
pair his poetry and fiction in order to listen to the echoes
between them, this study traces the development of his writing and
illuminates the shared themes and concerns that connect his texts.
Positioning his work in relation to wider critical discourses on
the industrial novel and historical fiction, the book argues for
Meredith's international significance as a major writer concerned
with place and national identity.
