- Inhalt
- The term balkanisation is a coinage of the late 19c, expressing an anxiety about the disintegration of Ottoman hegemony in south-eastern Europe, and the formation of new nation states, whose political loyalties were uncertain, and thus potentially threatening to the lines of communication between Britain and its global empire. The fragmentation of the Hapsburg kingdom after 1918 gave fresh impetus to this anxiety.
After 1945 the growth of the European Union, of which Britain became a late and remains an uneasy member, together with the dissolution of its own empire, highlighted the prospects of cultural and political conflict between the original and component parts of the erstwhile imperial state: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales. The poetry of this period established the reputation of a number of poets writing in English but strongly identified with their distinctive national origins.
It reflects interesting issues of social class, cultural and national identity, the relations between periphery and metropolis, and a challenge to the very existence of a corpus of canonical verse. The period from which the poets to be discussed may be seen as a kind of overture to the contemporary medley/cacophony of conflicting voices that we now know by the terms multi-culturalism and post-colonial .
We will discuss the work of four poets representative of each nation : Philip Larkin, Seamus Heaney, Edwin Morgan, R S Thomas. Thus we can explore a range of poetic styles and performances, but set in the wider social context of the period, appositely described in the political theorist Tom Nairn s provocative and seminal 1974 study, The Break-up of Britain.
