The Revisions of EnglishnessDavid Rogers, John McLeod Manchester University Press, 2004 - 194 oldal Diverse and often competing notions of "Englishness" have been critiqued by a variety of writers and critics who have become concerned about received visions of "Englishness" in the post-war period. An exciting and provocative collection of essays which registers the changes to Englishness since the 1950s, this book explores how Englishness has been revised for a variety of aesthetic and political purposes and makes a ground-breaking contribution to the contemporary debates in literary and cultural studies. |
