HISTORY: THE HOME MOVIE

by Craig Raine


Condition: Good+. Mild rubbing and surface wear to covers; spine intact, pages bright and unmarked.

About the Book:
A remarkable blend of poetry and fiction, History: The Home Movie tells the story of two interlinked families English and Russian across several generations, tracing their lives from the early twentieth century through to the modern age. Structured as a sequence of cinematic scenes, Raines narrative merges historical event with domestic intimacy, revealing the private currents that flow beneath public history.

Through sharply visual language and lyrical control, Raine moves between wars, marriages, and moments of fragile reconciliation, turning memory and imagination into a living archive a home movie of the century. The work stands as a daring hybrid: part novel, part verse narrative, and wholly distinctive in its approach to the interplay between family story and collective past.

About the Author:
Craig Raine (b. 1944) is a British poet, editor, and critic associated with the so-called Martian School of poetry, known for its defamiliarizing imagery and wit. A longtime editor at Faber & Faber, he has published several acclaimed collections and has been instrumental in shaping late-20th-century British poetry.
