Englishness: Twentieth Century Popular Culture and the Forming of English Identity
Performing Englishness examines the conflicts, dilemmas and contradictions that marked Englishness as the nation changed from an imperial power to a postcolonial state. The chapters deal with travel writing, popular song, music hall and variety theatre, dances, elocution lessons, cricket and football, and national festivals, as well as literature and film. 'High' and 'popular' cultures are brought together in dialogue, and the diversity as well as the problematic nature of English identity is emphasised.
Reading Novels is a unique piece of practical criticism, a comprehensive "poetics" of a genre that has not attracted a great deal of attention, at least not on this level. It is a reader's and student's guide that reaches beyond issues of individual texts and historical traditions to essential features of the form.
This nicely written manuscript takes a gentler approach than other functional analysis graduate texts, and includes an improved approach along with a better choice of topics. The concise treatment makes this ideal for a one-semester course. The exercises in this manuscript are numerous and of a very high quality. Interesting historical tidbits are scattered throughout the text, many of which will be new to most readers. The main prerequisites are basic undergraduate courses in real analysis, linear algebra, and point set topology.
