Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
"This interdisciplinary collection is a first step in the process of dismantling the
imperial and unionist dominance of the discipline of English Literature and building
a literary history and national literature of England. The collection brings together
some of the best known and most incisive commentators on England, Englishness and
English Literature from political and literary fields in order to rethink the relationship
between Britain, England and English literary culture. It is premised on the importance
of devolution, the uncertainty of the British Union, the place of English Literature
within the Union, and the need for England to become a self-determining literary nation.
The collection comprises fifteen essays, organised into four parts, moving from political
discussions of the form of a devolved or independent England, through a consideration
of England in canonical and contemporary literature, to an exploration of the role
of the national in English Literature's disciplinary logic"
