Andy Croft discusses the influence, work and contribution of communist writers in post-war Britiain.
Despite the increasing polarisation in British politics, communist writers played an important part in the culture of post-war Britain. Their role, however, has been systematically under-estimated. Speaker Andy Croft has studied the influence, work and contribution of communist writers in this period and will assess it in this talk.
Andy Croft is a poet who lives in Middlesbrough. His books of poetry include Nowhere Special, Just as Blue, Great North, Comrade Laughter, Ghost Writer and Sticky. He has edited poetry anthologies including: Holme and Away, Speaking English, Red Sky at Night (with Adrian Mitchell), North by North East (with Cynthia Fuller) and Not Just a Game (with Sue Dymoke). He writes a monthly poetry column in the Morning Star.
This event is organised by the Socialist History Society in partnership with Bishopsgate Institute.
