This collection explores British attitudes to Continental Europe
that explain the Brexit decision. Addressing British-European
entanglements and the impact of British Euroscepticism, the book
argues that Britain is in denial about the strength of its ties to
Europe. The volume brings together literary and cultural studies,
history, and political science in an integrated analysis of views
and practices that shape cultural memory. Part one traces the
historical and political relationship between Britain and Europe,
whilst Part two is devoted to exemplary case studies of films as
well as popular Eurosceptic and historical fiction. Part three
engages with border mindedness and Britain's island story. The book
is addressed both to specialists in cultural studies, and a wider
audience interested in Brexit. -- .
This collection offers an overview of the ways in which space has
become relevant to the study of Shakespearean drama and theatre. It
distinguishes various facets of space, such as structural aspects
of dramatic composition, performance space and the evocation of
place, linguistic, social and gendered spaces, early modern
geographies, and the impact of theatrical mobility on cultural
exchange and the material world. These facets of space are
exemplified in individual essays. Throughout, the Shakespearean
stage is conceived as a topological 'node', or interface between
different times, places and people - an approach which also invokes
Edward Soja's notion of 'Thirdspace' to describe the blend between
the real and the imaginary characteristic of Shakespeare's
multifaceted theatrical world. Part Two of the volume emphasises
the theatrical mobility of Hamlet - conceptually from an
anthropological perspective, and historically in the tragedy's
migrations to Germany, Russia and North America.
