The volume offers an interdisciplinary approach to various aspects of British culture and literature from 1700 to the present. Topics discussed include Queen Anne, literary translation and criticism, ethnographical writings, Byron, Englishness, foreignness, World War I, fashion and politics, subcultural studies, and Jack the Ripper.
This volume of essays in honour of Professor Emma Harris explores various branches of British history from 1700 to the present. The range of topics reflects the varied academic interests of the authors, who are friends, colleagues, and former students of Professor Harris. The essays take us on a journey through time, beginning with Queen Anne, eighteenth-century translations of literature, literary criticism, and ethnographical writings on witches. From there we proceed to Lord Byron, the outcast playwright, Victorian Englishness, modernist foreignness, the effect of World War I on language, and World War II on fashion. The collection also incorporates reflections on subcultural studies and on the fascination of the mystery of Jack the Ripper.
