Brexit is a political, economic and administrative event: and it is a cultural one, too. InBrexit and Literature, Robert Eaglestone brings together a diverse range of literary scholars, writers and poets to respond to this aspect of Brexit. The discipline of 'English', as the very name suggests, is concerned with cultural and national identity: literary studies has always addressed ideas of nationalism and the wider political process. With the ramifications of Brexit expected to last for decades to come, Brexit and Literatureoffers the first academic study of its impact on and through the humanities. Including a preface from Baroness Young of Hornsey, Brexit and Literatureis a bold and unapologetic volume, focusing on the immediate effects of the divisive referendum while meditating on its long-term impact. | Brexit And Literature by Robert Eaglestone, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
