Sample Book Insights:

#1 The poet is a talent that works within a tradition that cannot be simply inherited. The poet’s task is to obtain a tradition that involves, in the first place, the historical sense, which is a perception of the pastness of the past and its presence.

#2 The past shapes our present understanding and views of the present. How we represent the past determines how we view the present. The American and Iraqi versions of the past clashed during the Gulf War in 1990–91.

#3 The modern imperial experience has had a profound impact on the lives of individuals around the world. The British and French empires between them controlled vast territories, which were later liberated from their control.

#4 The world is one, and we are all connected to it in some way. We must consider the impact of empires on art, and how it can be difficult to separate the two.
