Tradition, Literature and Politics in East-Central Europe by Carl Tighe

Tradition, Literature and Politics in East-Central Europe by Carl Tighe

This book focuses on the interface between tradition, literature and politics in East-Central Europe. It explores literary tradition and the role of writers to ask why left-liberals, have often been marginalised, often reviled and are almost entirely absent from political debate.

Carl Tighe was the author of Gdansk: National Identity in the Polish German Borderlands (1990), The Politics of Literature: Polish Writers under Communism (1998), Writing and Responsibility (2004), Creative Writing @ University (2009) and Writing the World: Creative Writing as a Subject of Study (2014). He contributed to several journals, including The Journal of European Studies, Twentieth Century Communism and Studies in East European Thought and was the author of several works of fiction: he was short listed for the Whitbread Award, won the Authors’ Club Award and the City Life Writer of the Year 2000 Award. He taught at Swansea, Manchester, Wrocław Technical University, Gdańsk University, Jagiellonian University in Kraków and was Professor of Creative Writing at University of Derby. Carl Tighe died in 2020.
