I can explain how Seneviratne connects ideas of the past and present and presents ideas of time, identity and place in ‘A Wider View’.
Show transcript
‘A Wider View’ begins in the past and considers the life of the speaker’s great-great grandfather.
Arguably, the Industrial Revolution has made his life physically harsh and metaphorically restricted it.
When shifting to the present time, the poem implies that the past “echoes” and impacts the present.
Seneviratne arguably reminds the reader of the importance of place when considering identity and heritage.
