The Regional Novel in Britain and Ireland: 1800 1990

Book Overview

The regional novel has been remarkably neglected as a subject, despite the enormous number of authors who can be classified as having written regional fiction. This interdisciplinary collection addresses the regional novel in Ireland and Britain. It establishes the broader social and political context in which these novels emerged, and combines historical and literary approaches to explore contemporary manifestations of regionalism and nationalism.
