{"product_id":"9781911469377","title":"The Illegal Age by Ellen Hinsey","description":"Ellen Hinsey's new book-length sequence, The Illegal Age, is a powerful investigation into the twentieth-century's dark legacy of totalitarianism and the rise of political illegality. It explores the enduring potential for human beings to set neighbour against neighbour and commit final acts of violence. A book of lyrical reflection and prophesy, The Illegal Age chronicles the arrival of a new, disquieting reality unfolding in our midst.  As Marilyn Hacker has written, \"In dialogue with Celan, Szymborska, Milosz. this is a daring text - for its political acuity, and for its demonstration of the power in poetry to recount, remember, move the heart while opening the mind.\"  Written in parallel with her first-hand research into the rise of authoritarianism carried out over the last decade, Hinsey's volume warns that - rather than an \"Age of Anxiety\" - we may indeed be facing the start of the \"Illegal Age\".\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308964950389,"sku":"9781911469377","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911469377.jpg?v=1762809882","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781911469377","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
