{"product_id":"angry-summer","title":"Angry Summer","description":"Through the voices of ordinary people caught up in the struggle, \"The Angry Summer\" graphically illustrates the plight of the miners and their families during the six-month-long miners' strike of 1926 - 'the summer of soups and speeches'. Idris Davies himself left school at the age of fourteen to become a miner and it was the strike of 1926 that forced him to look elsewhere for work. He is perhaps the most authentic socialist poet of the inter-war years to write in English, because he speaks out of the experience of his own working-class community. This volume presents for the first time a properly annotated edition of the poem, an introduction by Tony Conran explaining the biographical, historical and literary background, and is also illustrated with photographs, newspaper cuttings and eyewitness accounts.","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54228840841560,"sku":"9780708310908","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780708310908.jpg?v=1779940851","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/angry-summer","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
