They deal with different kinds of locations (islands, countries, cities), the topoi writers use to articulate a sense of place (maps, ruins, landscape, history), their generic manifestations in fiction, travel writing, topography, (auto)biography and poetry, and the theoretical and methodological issues which arise. The focus moves outwards from local to regional and national issues, covering questions of cultural identity, space, representation, historicity, and modernity in England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, the United States, and the South Pacific. The contributors are drawn from both sides of the Atlantic, and include established scholars as well as newer voices.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 220mmItem Length: 150mmItem Weight: 330gContributor: Peter Brown (Edited by), Michael Irwin (Edited by)Author: Peter BrownGenre: Literary CriticismTopic: Society & CultureRelease Year: 2008 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
