Short description:
This volume discusses the long history of British-European cultural and literary interactions since the early modern period.
MoreLong description:
How has Europe shaped British literature and culture - and vice versa - since the Middle Ages? This volume offers nuanced answers to this question. From the High Renaissance to haute cuisine, from the Republic of Letters to the European Union, from the Black Death to Brexit -- the reader gains insights into the main geographical zones of influence, shared intellectual movements, indicative modes of cultural transfer and more recent conflicts that have left their mark on the British-European relationship. The story that emerges from this long history of cultural interactions is much more complex than its most recent political episode might suggest. This volume offers indispensable contexts to the manifold and longstanding connections between British and European literature and culture. This book suggests that, however the political landscape develops, we will do well to bear this exceptionally rich history in mind.
'[A] sprawling account of Europe's influence, covering both canonical and non-canonical ground.' Juliette Bretan, The Times Literary Supplement
