SUMMARY:'Norman Nicholson - A Regional Poet?'

DESCRIPTION:The Cumbrian poet Norman Nicholson (1914-1987) was\, perhaps 
 rather dismissively\, described in his Times obituary as ‘the most gifte
 d English Christian provincial poet of his century’. The run of adjectiv
 es which qualify the term ‘gifted’ here seem intended to limit both the 
 importance and the interest of his oeuvre. Yet Nicholson was far more th
 an simply a provincial or regional poet. The current revival of interest
  in his work is centred on his importance as a poet and writer of place 
 and environment\, a forerunner in many respects of today’s eco-poetic mo
 vement. In his own time\, particularly in the late 40's and throughout t
 he 1950s\, Nicholson’s work was highly respected\, garnering not only ma
 ny awards and prizes\, but also the interest of an international audienc
 e. This talk looks at the evidence for Nicholson’s reception in the non-
 Anglophone world\, as preserved in the John Rylands Library archive.
