The revision of Englishness

by David Rogers, John McLeod

What is 'Englishness'? Who defines it? What impact have changes to England and the English, as well as England's relationship with the outside world, had on 'Englishness'? Has 'Englishness' become an anachronism at the turn of a new century? These questions and others like them have become familiar ones in recent debates concerning English politics, culture and identity. Diverse and often competing notions of 'Englishness' have been critiqued by a variety of writers and critics who have become concerned about received visions of 'Englishness' in the post-war period. An exciting and provocative collection of essays which registers the changes to Englishness since the 1950s, 'The revisions of Englishness' explores how Englishness has been revised for a variety of aesthetic and political purposes and makes a ground-breaking contribution to the contemporary debates surrounding Englishness in literary and cultural studies. ;

The politics of Englishness

by Arthur Aughey, Martin Hargreaves

The politics of Englishness provides a digest of the debates about England and Englishness and a unique perspective on those debates. Not only does the book provide readers with ready access to and interpretation of the significant literature on the English Question, it also enables them to make sense of the political, historical and cultural factors which constitute that question. The book addresses the condition of England in three interrelated parts. The first looks at traditional narratives of the English polity and reads them as variations of a legend of political Englishness, of England as the exemplary exception, exceptional in its constitutional tradition and exemplary in its political stability. The second considers how the decay of that legend has encouraged anxieties about English political identity and about how English identity can be recognised within the new complexity of British governance. The third revisits these narratives and anxieties, examining them in terms of actual and metaphorical 'locations' of Englishness: the regional, the European and the British. ;

Performing Englishness

Identity and politics in a contemporary folk resurgence

by Trish Winter, Alexander Smith, Simon Keegan-Phipps

Now available in paperback, Performing Englishness examines the growth in popularity and profile of the English folk arts in the first decade of the twenty-first century. In the only study of its kind, the authors explore how the folk resurgence speaks to a broader explosion of interest in the subject of English national and cultural identity. Combining approaches from British cultural studies and ethnomusicology, the book draws on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews with central figures of the resurgence and close analysis of music and dance as well as visual and discursive sources. Its presentation of the English case study calls for a rethinking of concepts such as revival and indigeneity. It will be of interest to students and scholars in cultural studies, ethnomusicology and related disciplines. ;

These Englands

A conversation on national identity

by Arthur Aughey

The term 'conversation' is one of today's jargon terms. This book explores in depth what conversation means in national terms. Its premise is that to be English is to participate in a conversation about the country's history, politics, culture and society. The conversation changes, of course, but there is also continuity which illustrates a distinct tradition. It is a conversation, the book argues, which requires the plural notion of these Englands rather than the singularity of this England. Englishness, then, is the tone, register and idiom of it subject matters, its anxieties and certainties, differences and commonalities. The book explores the English conversation through historical, political, literary and popular voices and tries to identify the character of contemporary Englishness.

The fall and rise of the English upper class

Houses, kinship and capital since 1945

by Daniel R. Smith

The fall and rise of the English upper class explores the role traditionalist worldviews, articulated by members of the historic upper-class, have played in British society in the shadow of her imperial and economic decline in the twentieth century. Situating these traditionalist visions alongside Britain's post-Brexit fantasies of global economic resurgence and a socio-cultural return to a green and pleasant land, Smith examines Britain's Establishment institutions, the estates of her landed gentry and aristocracy, through to an appetite for nostalgic products represented with pastoral or pre-modern symbolism. It is demonstrated that these institutions and pursuits play a central role in situating social, cultural and political belonging. Crucially these institutions and pursuits rely upon a form of membership which is grounded in a kinship idiom centred upon inheritance and descent: who inherits the houses of privilege, inherits England.

Überwintern. Wenn das Leben innehält

Der Bestseller über die heilsame Kraft des Innehaltens

by Katherine May

Es gibt Zeiten, da liegt unser Leben „auf Eis“ und wir fühlen uns wie aus der Welt gefallen. Durch eine Krankheit oder den Verlust eines geliebten Menschen, durch Arbeitslosigkeit. Auch ein freudiges Ereignis wie die Geburt eines Kindes kann uns aus dem Gleichgewicht bringen. Katherine May nennt diese Zeiten des Rückzugs, die ihr selbst nur allzu vertraut sind, »Winter«. Und wie auch in der winterlichen Kälte alles ruht, um Kraft für den Frühling zu sammeln, so gibt May sich dem „Überwintern“ hin. Sie reist nach Tromsø zu den Polarlichtern, schwimmt im eisigen Meer, schwitzt in der Sauna und feiert das Winterfest Santa Lucia. Sie besinnt sich auf das Wesentliche und gibt sich der Ruhe und inneren Einkehr hin – bis sie sich wieder bereit fühlt, mit neuer Energie weiterzumachen. Wir können uns unsere Winter nicht aussuchen. Aber wie wir überwintern, schon. Ein wunderbares Buch über die heilsame Kraft des Innehaltens.

Little Women

by Louise May Alcott

Little Women "has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth", but also "as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well".[6]:34 According to Sarah Elbert, Alcott created a new form of literature, one that took elements from Romantic children's fiction and combined it with others from sentimental novels, resulting in a totally new format. Elbert argued that within Little Women can be found the first vision of the "All-American girl" and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters.

Haiku und Holzschnitte aus dem »Kagebôshishû«

by Claudia Waltermann, Ekkehard May, Claudia Waltermann, Ekkehard May

Von der vormodernen Literatur Japans erfreuen sich die Verse des Haiku im Westen besonderer Beliebtheit: Die mit 17 Silben wohl kürzeste Form der Dichtkunst überhaupt fasziniert durch ihre große Ausdruckskraft auf kleinstem Raum, und sie erschließt sich über alle Barrieren von Sprache und Übersetzung hinweg erstaunlich problemlos durch die suggestive Kraft ihrer jahreszeitenbezogenen Momentbeschreibungen. Ein besonders eindrucksvolles Zeugnis der heiterpointierten Poesie dieser Gattung ist das 1754 in Ôsaka erschienene Kagebôshishû, eine Sammlung von Haiku und Tuschzeichnungen bzw. Holzschnitten. Aus ihm werden erstmals 26 Bild-Text-Paare bekannt gemacht.
