Considering areas as diverse as travel literature, fiction,
dialect, the stage, radio, television, feature film, music and
sport, this book assesses the portrayal of the North within the
national culture and how this has impacted upon attitudes to the
region and its place within notions of 'Englishness'. The
relationship between culture and our understanding of regional
identity has received only limited consideration and this
fascinating work provides not only much new information, but also a
map for future writers. The North, although seen ultimately as
'other' and the subject of much critical comment, is also shown
here as capable of stimulating the creative imagination and
invigorating English culture in sometimes surprising ways. Rooted
in extensive research, this scholarly and enjoyable to read book is
accessibly written and will be of interest to those interested in
the representation, position and future role of the North of
England.
