There is no doubt that the political and cultural map of Europe is
in the process of being radically redrawn. Alongside the major
upheavals in continental Europe, the British Isles has undergone
far-reaching constitutional reform. In Devolving Identities,
feminist scholars explore their personal negotiations of gender,
class, ethnicity and national or regional identity through their
readings of two literary and cultural 'texts'. The collection
centres on the ontological experience of reading and writing 'as a
feminist', and combines the discussion of texts which are inscribed
- whether consciously or unconsciously - with the academics' own
struggle to reconcile their 'roots' with their current 'situations'
or 'identities'. This book's focus on the overlapping of gender and
national or regional identity is a direct response to the
devolution movements currently active in the British Isles. The
contributors are drawn from Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Ireland,
Northern Ireland and selected regions of England. In its complex
engagement of subject and text and its political insistence that we
no longer consider key aspects of 'identity' in isolation, this
volume presents a truly state-of-the-art investigation of (a) what
it means to be 'regionally defined' and (b) how the complexity of
our positioning in terms of class, gender and nation impacts upon
our practice as literary and cultural critics.
