Böcker av David Glover

What began as a private journey to archive the fragments of his youth for his then absent mother has turned into a meditation and a ritual for wholeness. Beneath my body Armor: An Elegy, is a 2021 book-length series of lyric and percussive poems by American poet David Lawrence Glover. Beneath my body Armor is a collection of observations, revelations, and reflections on black life and love that spans two decades. This debut book of poetry is broken into five sections that range from deeply personal familial accounts, to love songs, raw emotional laments, and direct excerpts from dreams. These poems ring with extraordinary justice--at once melancholic, then monstrous, vulnerable, exposing, and at last like a wound; healing--in a collective portrait of a child once neglected, now a man finding safety and sanctuary within.

Reconstructs the cultural and political world that gave birth to Dracula.

It is suitable for scholars of Victorian fiction.

The concept of gender continues to be a central issue in literary and cultural studies, with a significance that crosses disciplinary boundaries and provokes lively debate.

The 1905 Aliens Act was the first modern law to restrict immigration to British shores. In this book, David Glover asks how it was possible for Britain, a nation that had prided itself on offering asylum to refugees, to pass such legislation. Tracing the ways that the legal notion of the 'alien' became a national-racist epithet indistinguishable from the figure of 'the Jew', Glover argues that the literary and popular entertainments of fin de siecle Britain perpetuated a culture of xenophobia. Reconstructing the complex socio-political field known as 'the alien question', Glover examines the work of George Eliot, Israel Zangwill, Rudyard Kipling and Joseph Conrad, together with forgotten writers like Margaret Harkness, Edgar Wallace and James Blyth. By linking them to the beliefs and ideologies that circulated via newspapers, periodicals, political meetings, Royal Commissions, patriotic melodramas and social surveys, Glover sheds new light on dilemmas about nationality, borders and citizenship.
