Neil Curry, Ships in Bottles, Great man theory, Microhistory, 20th Century British PoetryAbstract
The historical poems of Ships in Bottles by Neil Curry give the chance of reflecting on the possible validity of the great man theory. There is a contrast between the disregard that Carlyle´s contribution currently has with its follow-up in other fields, such as business or politics. In the case of poetry, the selected poems show how the great actants of history coexist with the people who make the microhistory.
