Luke Wright Boeken

Divorced, and perhaps a little bruised, Luke Wright journeys off the sunken roads of southern England and into himself, pursued by murderous swans, empty car seats, and his father's skeleton clocks.

The book explores Coleridge's transient radicalism in both political and theological contexts, highlighting his substantial role in the rise of Toryism. It examines his theological adaptations of Hooker in response to the writings of Sacheverell and Warburton. Additionally, the work delves into Coleridge's concept of a clerisy and his influence on Gladstone, ultimately connecting to the Oxford Movement, showcasing the complexities of Coleridge's ideological journey.

Explosive political satire and acerbic wit leap from stage to page in Mondeo Man by Luke Wright. Yummy mummies and debauched Tory grandees mingle with drunk Essex commuters and leering tabloid paps; a small town chip-shop becomes the site of a heart-wrenching story of failed marriage; and a televised manhunt enthrals an entire nation.

The Toll combines the elegaic with the anarchic, placing uproarious satire cheek-by-jowl with wild experiments in form and touching poems of parenthood. In this mature follow-up to his best-selling debut, Mondeo Man, Luke Wright captures the strain of austerity Britain, speaking truth to power and registering the toll it takes on us all.
