Acknowledging how the so-called United Kingdom has historically been divided upon nationalistic lines, the twelve original essays in this volume interrogate the interplay of ideas and generic innovations generated in the spaces between the nominal kingdom and its component nations and, innovatively, \u003ci\u003ewithin\u003c\/i\u003e those national spaces. Concentrating upon fictions depicting England, Scotland and Wales specifically, \u003ci\u003eGothic Britain\u003c\/i\u003e comprehends the generic possibilities of the urban and the rural, of the historical and the contemporary, of the metropolis and the rural settlement - as well as exploring, uniquely, the fluid space that is the act of travel itself. Reading the textuality of some two hundred years of national and regional identity, \u003ci\u003eGothic Britain\u003c\/i\u003e interrogates how the genre has depicted and questioned the natural and built environments of the Island of Great Britain. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47889598546071,"sku":"9781786832337","price":8353.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781786832337.webp?v=1781177023","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/gothic-britain-dark-places-in-the-provinces-and-margins-of-the-british-isles-9781786832337","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
