- Seditious Things was the fruition of my PhD and MA research on the British poet Barry MacSweeney (1948-2000) and his contemporaries. My work involved extensive and sustained bibliographic and archival research, using resources from institutions across the UK and also North America. My research demonstrates the shared intellectual concerns and political commitments of poets like MacSweeney with figures such as E.P. Thompson, Stuart Hall, and Eric Hobsbawm. Aspects of this research resulted in the companion volume of MacSweeney’s uncollected poems Desire Lines (2018), and the methodology I developed continues to inform the historical argument of my ongoing work.
