Writing Liverpool : Essays and Interviews

Plot

Product Description Beryl Bainbridge, Clive Barker, Terence Davies, and J. G. Farrell represent only a handful of the fascinating and provocative writers who have emerged from the Liverpool literary scene in the past seventy-five years. Published in commemoration of Liverpool’s 800th birthday in 2007 and in celebration of its status as a European City of Culture in 2008, Writing Liverpool presents a selection of essays and interviews with the filmmakers, journalists, cultural critics, and novelists who have called the city home—asking if there is a distinctive Liverpool voice, and if so, how we identify it. About the Author Deryn Rees Jones and Michael Murphy are both award-winning poets.  Jones is senior lecturer in English literature at the University of Liverpool and Murphy is senior lecturer in English at Nottingham Trent University.
