    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Uses postcolonial theory to argue that Agbabi and Breeze &quot;interrogate the borders of British poetry and its &#039;modernity,&#039;&quot; by capitalizing on the &quot;subversive elements already present&quot; in WBPT, &quot;from the subtle irony and the crafty use of the &#039;vernacular&#039; to the foregrounding of female empowerment.&quot; The two &quot;contemporary revisions of the canon mirror an intertextual, transnational practice that was already widely present in the Middle Ages.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
