Seller's Description:
Good. Book. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. xiv, 273pp., index, biblio., notes. Very small pen marks on three pages, else VG. "Prison writing is a voice from a world beyond. It is an act of defiance and remembrance for the humiliated, the silenced, and the dead. Davies therefore insists, correctly, that a purely semiotic account of prison literature is inadequate. Prison narrative normally entails a rethinking of all our experiences and of the language through which our lives are expressed."
