Items related to Gothic Britain: Nation and Race, Culture and Criticism,...
By examining various texts from Gothic and Celtic literature, an emergent critical theory, 19th-century ethnographic studies, political tracts, and late-Victorian art history, this study contends that the modern discipline of the Humanities in the U.K. has been shaped in response to the particular political exigencies of the Union. Less cultural history than a history of "Culture," Gothic Britain invites readers to rethink the relationship between the Academy, literary culture, Empire, and nationalism in the British experience. This timely interdisciplinary study traces the evolution of nativist cultural movements in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales as a response and reaction to the consolidation of the British nation state across the 18th and 19th centuries.
