Loose Can(n)on: Literary tradition in Daljit Nagra's British Museum - Andrew Green

Daljit

 

"British Museum challenges the idea that there is any single version of culture that can define Britishness" - learn more about a talk given as part of a Brunel University event called 'Confronting the Past in the Present'. The presentation explores the ways in which Daljit Nagra uses his poetry collection British Museum to challenge the ways in which we, in 21st century Britain, seek to represent the past, and considers how we might redefine our relationship with troubling ideas of 'canon' and culture.
