Bhabha, in his preface, writes 'Nations, like narratives, lose
their origins in the myths of time and only fully encounter their
horizons in the mind's eye'. From this seemingly impossibly
metaphorical beginning, this volume confronts the realities of the
concept of nationhood as it is lived and the profound ambivalence
of language as it is written. From Gillian Beer's reading of
Virginia Woolf, Rachel Bowlby's cultural history of Uncle Tom's
Cabin and Francis Mulhern's study of Leaviste's 'English ethics';
to Doris Sommer's study of the 'magical realism' of Latin American
fiction and Sneja Gunew's analysis of Australian writing, Nation
and Narration is a celebration of the fact that English is no
longer an English national consciousness, which is not nationalist,
but is the only thing that will give us an international dimension.
