Summary
In all the complex cultural history of the islands of Britain and Ireland the idea of the coast as a significant representative space is critical: a site from which to braid ideas of empire, nation, region, and archipelago. This collection presents a series of essays that create new contexts for coastal study in literary history and criticism.
