Publisher’s presentation

     The Radical Field is a comprehensive and far-reaching study of an author whom many consider to be one of the finest working anywhere in the world today.
     In Part One, Tony McManus goes into White’s background and traces his early explorations in literature and culture. In Part Two, he lays out the various strands of White’s work while following his path across Europe, America and Asia. In Part Three, he examines the original methods employed by White in his essay-books, narrative books and poetry.

Tony McManus, highly regarded writer, educational activist and musician, dedicated the last part of his life to the study of the work of Kenneth White and Geopoetics. He founded the Scottish Centre for Geopoetics in 1995, curated the White World exhibition for the National Library of Scotland in 1996, and completed this book which provides an essential overview of this original field.
