Books by Tony Harrison

Mens health covers a variety of physical, psychological, social, lifestyle and political factors. This book covers these aspects.

This fourth collection of Tony Harrison's poetry for stage contains his highly acclaimed translations of Aeschylus, Aristophanes and Euripides. Included are the plays The Oresteia, and The Common Chorus (Parts I and II). This volume contains introductions, written by Tony Harrison, to each of the plays.

The Kaisers of Carnuntum was performed on 2 June 1995 in the Roman amphitheatre of Petronell/Carnuntum in Austria and has the bloody Commodus, a Roman Emperor and son of the philosopher Marcus Aureliues, returning to the former Roman frontier town.

Tony Harrison's v. was written during the Miners' Strike of 1984-85 when he visited his parents' grave in a Leeds cemetery and found it vandalised by obscene graffiti. Channel Four's film of v. won the Royal Television Society's Best Original Programme Award and prompted extreme political and media reaction documented in the book's second edition.
