Poetry and Bondage is a groundbreaking and comprehensive study of the history of poetic constraint. For millennia, poets have compared verse to bondage – chains, fetters, cells, or slavery. Tracing this metaphor from Ovid through the present, Andrea Brady reveals the contributions to poetics of people who are actually in bondage. How, the book asks, does our understanding of the lyric – and the political freedoms and forms of human being it is supposed to epitomise – change, if we listen to the voices of enslaved and imprisoned poets? Bringing canonical and contemporary poets into dialogue, from Thomas Wyatt to Rob Halpern, Emily Dickinson to M. NourbeSe Philip, and Phillis Wheatley to Lisa Robertson, the book also examines poetry that emerged from the plantation and the prison. This book is a major intervention in lyric studies and literary criticism, interrogating the whiteness of those disciplines and exploring the possibilities for committed poetry today.

Professor Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963), commonly referred to as C. S. Lewis and known to his friends as Jack, was a Northern Irish academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, and Christian apologist. He is also known for his fiction, especially The Screwtape Letters (1942), The Space Trilogy (1938-1945) and The Chronicles of Narnia (1949-1954). According to his memoir Surprised by Joy (1955), Lewis had been baptised in the Church of Ireland at birth, but fell away from his faith during his adolescence. Owing to the influence of Tolkien and other friends, at about the age of 30, he re-converted to Christianity, becoming "a very ordinary layman of the Church of England." His works have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold millions of copies over the years. His works include: Spirits in Bondage (1919), Dymer (1926), The Pilgrim's Regress (1933), The Allegory of Love (1936), Out of the Silent Planet (1938), Prince Caspian (1951), The Silver Chair (1953), The Horse and His Boy (1954) and The Magician's Nephew (1955).
