Compatriots or Competitors?: Welsh, Scottish, English and Northern Irish Writing and Brexit in Comparative Contexts (Writing Wales in English) - Softcover
Synopsis
This is the first comparative study of the distinctive literatures and cultures that have developed in Wales, Scotland, England and Northern Ireland since political devolution in the late 1990s, especially surrounding Brexit. The book argues that in conceptualising their cultures as ‘national’, each nation is caught up in a creative tension between emulating forms of cultural production found in the others to assert common aspirations, and downplaying those connections in order to forge a sense of cultural distinctiveness. The author explores the resulting dilemmas, with chapters analysing the growth of the creative industries; the relationship between UK City of Culture and its forerunner, the European Capital of Culture; national book prizes in Britain and Europe; British variations on Nordic Noir TV; and the Brexit novel. With regard to separate cultural precursors and responses in each nation, Brexit itself is debated as a factor that has widened their differences, placing the future of the UK in question.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A literary study of a productive unionist and nationalist tension in contemporary British culture. As Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales gain self-governance from England, writers in these nations face new pressures to create distinctly national literatures. Compatriots or Competitors? examines the artistic tension in this work, as writers both emulate neighboring traditions and reinforce distinctions between nations. Across a range of texts from each of the United Kingdoms four nations, Hywel Dix maps the creative productivity of this interplay between Unionism and nationalism across Great Britain. This book debates how Brexit has exacerbated cultural differences between the four nations of Britain in a way that ultimately places the future existence of the United Kingdom in question. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781786839343
