The Nation and British Literature and Culture charts the emergence
of Britain as a political, social and cultural construct, examining
the manner in which its constituent elements were brought together
through a process of amalgamation and conquest. The fashioning of
the nation through literature and culture is examined, as well as
counter narratives that have sought to call national orthodoxies
into question. Specific topics explored include the emergence of a
distinctively national literature in the early modern period; the
impact of French Revolution on conceptions of Britishness;
portrayals of empire in popular and literary fiction; popular music
and national imagining; the marginalisation and oppression of
particular communities within the nation. The volume concludes by
asking what implications an extended set of contemporary crises
have for the ongoing survival both of the United Kingdom, both as a
political unit and as a literary and cultural point of identity.
