In a world of conflicting nationalist claims, mass displacements
and asylum-seeking, a great many people are looking for 'home' or
struggling to establish the 'nation'. These were also important
preoccupations between the English and the French revolutions: a
period when Britain was first at war within itself, then achieved a
confident if precarious equilibrium, and finally seemed to have
come once more to the edge of overthrow. In the century and a half
between revolution experienced and revolution observed, the impulse
to identify or implicitly appropriate home and nation was elemental
to British literature. This wide-ranging study by international
scholars provides an innovative and thorough account of writings
that vigorously contested notions and images of the nation and of
private domestic space within it, tracing the larger patterns of
debate, while at the same time exploring how particular writers
situated themselves within it and gave it shape.
