Oxford University Press Poetry List (EDM107)

Oxford University Press Poetry List

EDM number 107 in 1998-99, proposed by Derek Wyatt on 09/12/1998.

That this House deplores the decision by Oxford University Press to abandon publishing contemporary poetry; notes the remarkable quality of OUP's poetry list, built up by John Stallworthy and Jacqueline Simms; understands that OUP has not lost money through publishing modern poetry, which in any case represents a minute proportion of OUP's turnover of Ãº282 million; further notes that OUP subvented the University of Oxford over the last five years to the tune of Ãº53 million; is astonished that the Delegacy (the academic board) have countenanced such a policy by the Press; and considers this an act of philistinism, with no plausible justification.

This motion has been signed by a total of 68 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
