- The research for Poetry as Testimony spanned nine years, and was partly funded by an AHRC Research Network Grant (2009–11), and a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship (2012–13). The scope of the research included three years’ work in the extensive ‘Salamander’ archive in the Imperial War Museums, London. In addition, the book encompasses nearly a century of poetry, from World War One to 9/11, in order to draw critical equivalences between testimonial poetry produced in different historical and cultural contexts, such as the resistance to identification in Wilfred Owen’s war poetry, and Charlotte Delbo’s Auschwitz and After.
