English Topographies in Literature and Culture: Space, Place, and Identity (Spatial Practices: An Interdisciplinary Series in Cultural History, Geography and Literature; Volume 23) by Edited by Ina Habermann and Daniela Keller - 2016

BRILL, 2016. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Drawing on insights from the spatial turn during recent decades, scholars of culture and literature take a spatial approach to the study of English culture, but also recognize time as a complementary foundational category. In sections on writing landscape, London psycho-geography, heritage discourses, and individual spatial practices, they consider such topics as recent poetic prose of Kathleen Jamie and Paul Farley/Michael Symmons Roberts, running rings round London: psycho-geography in Iain Sinclair's London Orbital, British suburban sitcoms and television heritage: The Good Life and Keeping Up Appearances, Brontë soundscapes: the role of soundtracks in adaptations of Wuthering Heights in Brontë heritage discourses, and spatial practices of 18th-century domestic travelers and the idea of the nation.
