Synopsis
Solzhenitsyn, Rosa Luxembourg, Boethius, Bunyan, Gramsci, Genet, Osip and Nadezha Mandlestam, Breyten Breytenbach, the Rosenbergs, Dostoievski: all of these authors wrote at times, and frequently for sustained periods, within conditions of enforced incarceration. Writers in Prison is an enthralling study of writers who are sent to prison, of prisoners who become writers, and of the metaphors drawn from prison which influence our conceptions of everyday life. Ranging widely across history, Ioan Davies charts the individual's impulse to survive through texts, through song, and through reclaiming his or her own voice against the imposition of other voices and other texts.

Softcover, 23cms x 15cms (9" x 5¾") 274 pages The twentieth century has produced more prisoners and prison writers than all previous centuries combined. Prison writing encompasses the stories of prisoners and uncovers the silences of those who do not write, and about whom no-one has written. It examines the relationships among prisoners, guards and the outside world. It reflects upon the nature of power, violence, fear, and the survival and elimination of others.
