9 Preface This book was written between the winter of and the spring of 1993: the specific time frame seems important in terms of the ongoing postmodemism debate - as we race towards the double millennium. Such a declaration inevitably owns to its temporal partiality and implies a fairly imminent sell-by date. In Wyndham Lewis's description, we are all "time snobs" now: both the pace of global developments and the instantaneity of communications constantly outflank any attempt to make a fixed map of the contemporary scene. This is, in fact, what makes the discussion of 'postmodemity' continuous, contingent, confusing - and exciting. In such a situation it seems necessary to date a particular stage of one's thinking: so I shall'sign' this as of Easter I should like here to thank Peter Widdowson for cannily pointing me, nearly three years ago, towards the direction I was going in - without my then knowing it. Thanks, too, to the East London (and FAB) 'Psychoanalysis and the Public Sphere' conferences where two of the chapters below were tried out and whose discussions have helped form my own sense of the nature of postmodernity. Also thanks to the encouragement or advice of Phil Ballard, Eibhlin Evans, Paul Gatland, Patrick Grant, Graham Holderness, Sarah Hutton, Sharon Monteith, Graham Pechey, Jean Radford, Eric Trudgill and George Wotton, and to Zygmunt Bauman whose book Intimations of Postmodernity came out at a crucial stage of my own project and who responded, in detail, to some material I sent him "in the spirit of dialogue". The writing of this book has coincided with the welcome transformation of my teaching base from Hatfield Polytechnic to the University of Hertfordshire. With its roots in a gift of land by A. S. Butler of De Havilland, our institution has itself played a role in the construction of postmodem realities - most particularly in aeroengineering, information science, psychology and pharmacological biochemistry: it has been a privilege to serve on research committees with representatives of such disciplines. The work below originated in a research project registered with our old Research and Consultancy Committee. lx

10 X Preface My conviction in the book is that certain Anglo/ American poets understood the direction in which contemporary culture was going long before "postmodernity" was theorised. One of the book's dedicatees, George Macbeth - whose recent death came as a personal shock- helped foster their work during his years at the BBC. I believe that poetry can retain its prophetic function and I hope what I have written will encourage students to keep reading it - both yesterday's and tomorrow's as well as today's. Lastly, I must particularly thank my wife, Sam, whose "formatting" has cleaned up my "keyboarding" on that amazing postmodern phenomenon, the word-processor. Deepest thanks, too (and again), for her unfailing moral support: Let the urge of mere ambition Seek success in what we do, Find direction where we go: In each other know completion. DENNIS BROWN
