Klappentext zu „Rebel Footprints - Second Edition “
David has brought the streets and buildings of London alive to the real history of the city and the struggles of ordinary people. Anyone reading this will walk the streets of our city with a different view of the world, and what people can do when they act together' - Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour Party'Informative and well-judged ... There is so much that is inspirational in this book' - Nicholas Lezard, Guardian Paperback of the Week
'A book of detail and passion' - Danny Dorling, Times Higher Education
'You haven't walked the streets of London unless you've understood the secret history of revolt, rebellion and poverty hidden all around you in its bricks and alleyways. Rosenberg takes you there as no other writer has done' - Paul Mason
'By offering us a guide to our radical past, Rosenberg reminds us of the strong tradition of dissent that has shaped our history and made us who we are' - Billy Bragg
'Stirs my heart's old sympathies with the idealism of the radical Left. I still urge you to let Rosenberg take you on his London journey' - Dave Hill, Guardian
This brilliant book brings London's long tradition of radicalism and rebellion to life. Using walks to show how dissent led to democracy, it is a fitting testimonial to the collective struggles of Londoners of every colour and creed. I for one will be dusting down my walking shoes and taking to the streets to find out more - Frances O'Grady, General Secretary of the TUC
Autoren-Porträt von David Rosenberg
The international bestseller,"The Book of J" (1990), coauthored by David Rosenberg and Harold Bloom (Grove; Faber in UK) was followed by several books of poetry and prose before "A Life in a Poem" became a Guggenheim Fellowship project in 2013. The borders between poetry and translation, poetry and prose, have been crossed and re-crossed in Rosenberg's work, going back to the early '70s, when "Paul Evans and I established Voiceprint ("An Ant's Forefoot/Eleventh Finger Edition"-the two mags we edited) at the University of Essex, where I was a grad student. Then, Lit/Writing teaching (at York University, Toronto; The New School, NYC; most recently Princeton) and editing-but mostly I remained a student of origins: of my family's escape before the Holocaust (the half that made it) and which shaped my desire to both measure civilization's shadow and to somehow escape the grandiosity in doing so (as my father did, establishing the short-lived American Popcorn Company-in Detroit, where I was born); of the culture that produced the first great modernists like Gertrude Stein, who turned history sideways, using it as a lens through which to register glints of the unconscious; of the American blues culture that produced Blind Willie McTell and the existential deadpan that still cracks the tightly-wound pottery of much current poetry; of the Everglades ecosystem, near my current home in Miami and where I became poet-in-residence at Fairchild Tropical Garden; and of the Hebraic culture that produced the great biblical writers in Jerusalem, where I once lived and worked. Like a Freudian, I've searched for the origin of the primary lost writer in myself by returning to those at the origin of Western history, while trying to stay anchored in the present scene of writing in my Adirondack chair."
