Books by Tiffany Atkinson

What do we mean when we talk about 'the body'? The essays collected here foreground the historical construction of 'the body' throughout a range of discourses from the modern to the postmodern, and seek to present it not as a biological 'given', but as a contestable signifier in the articulation of identities.

Third collection by one of Britain's foremost younger poets, winner of the Roland Mathias Poetry Award (Wales Book of the Year).
