This is the first comparative study of the distinctive literatures
and cultures that have developed in Wales, Scotland, England and
Northern Ireland since political devolution in the late 1990s,
especially surrounding Brexit. The book argues that in
conceptualising their cultures as 'national', each nation is caught
up in a creative tension between emulating forms of cultural
production found in the others to assert common aspirations, and
downplaying those connections in order to forge a sense of cultural
distinctiveness. The author explores the resulting dilemmas, with
chapters analysing the growth of the creative industries; the
relationship between UK City of Culture and its forerunner, the
European Capital of Culture; national book prizes in Britain and
Europe; British variations on Nordic Noir TV; and the Brexit novel.
With regard to separate cultural precursors and responses in each
nation, Brexit itself is debated as a factor that has widened their
differences, placing the future of the UK in question.
