Triptych

The UK alternative rock band, Manic Street Preachers, were and remain one of the most interesting, significant, and best-loved bands of the past thirty years. Their third album The Holy Bible (1994) is generally acknowledged to be their most enduring and fascinating work, and one of the most compelling and challenging records of the nineties. Triptych reconsiders The Holy Bible from three separate, intersecting angles, combining the personal with the political, history with memory, and popular accessibility with intellectual attention to the album's depth and complexity.Larissa Wodtke is the Research Coordinator at the Centre for Research in Young People's Texts and Cultures at the University of Winnipeg, in Canada, and the Managing Editor of the academic journal Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures.
