Summary
  1. The devolutionary shifts in British politics and the nature of British identity lead the contributors to this study to ask when and where was Britain. The notion of an Atlantic Archipelago is unfamiliar yet it allows a fresh approach to literary criticism and the assimilation of external ideas from neighbours.
