His schooling introduced him to the \"classics\"; but it also deprived him of a clear identification with the place where he grew up. His work reflects and explores this tension; and it may be seen, in some ways, as a form of \"identity construction.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book examines key texts such as \u003ci\u003ev. \u003c\/i\u003eand the \u003ci\u003eSchool of Eloquence \u003c\/i\u003esequence, where this \"construction\" takes different forms-oscillating between identity as a state, or a process; as continuity, or change; or as the outcome of conformity, or revolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis second edition has been extensively revised and includes a new chapter on Harrison's \u003ci\u003eElegies\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eidentity studies - Tony Harrison - British poetry, elegy, contemporary poetry - memory studies - nostalgia studies - working-class culture\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgata Handley\u003c\/strong\u003e works as a lecturer and researcher at the University of Lodz, Poland.
