Winston Churchill famously described the political alliance between
the US and UK as a 'special relationship', but throughout the
cultural history of these two countries there have existed
transatlantic 'special relationships' of another kind - affairs
between British and American citizens who have fallen in love, with
one another but often too with the idea(l) of that other place
across the ocean. From romantic novelist Elinor Glyn in the 1920s
to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle today, this collection examines
some of the history, contemporary manifestations and enduring
appeal of US-UK romance across popular culture. Looking at both
historical and contemporary case-studies, drawn from across film,
television, music, literature, news and politics, this is a timely
intervention into the popular romantic discourse of US-UK
relations, at a critical and transitional moment in the ongoing
viability of the special relationship.
