Abstract:
Geo - (topo) graphically Hardy’s Wessex is located on the West Country of England and lying south of the Thames and the Bristol Channel. The invention of “Wessex” is described by hardy in his preface to Far from the Madding Crowd in which, he first re- introduced the old word to give territorial definition. Travelling into Hardy, I wish to argue that place ought to receive special attention. Most of the writers have written their works with deep concerned with their native special attention. Place needs to be understood as something local, regional and real, despite the complexities and diffic

Abstract:
AbstractThe entanglement of colonial power's cultural and material manifestations has been an important topic in anticolonial thinking. I tentatively term this the problem of relating the imperial imaginary and imperial reality. This essay focuses on the imaginary and real geographies of the eighteenth-century British maritime empire, using digital methods (custom named entity recognition and mapping) to compare place-names mentioned in maritime fiction and nonfiction with the movements of British ships. In Edward Said's terms, structures of reference are used to see the structures of attitude

Abstract:
Abstract The theme of place guides much exploration in rural history and local history. Attempts have been made to create definitions and typologies of place, but these have had to contend with the diverse, complex and dynamic realities of historical pattern and process, local and regional. Nonetheless, historians and those in other disciplines have evolved different approaches to the concept. This study considers how these can inform the investigation of places existing in historical fact in particular periods in the past, and can do similarly for those places located contemporaneously in fic

Abstract:
In the 17th century England, the problem of distinguishing between the imaginary (poetry) and documentary (history) was especially relevant due to the loss of the monopoly of the church and universities on the spread of knowledge about the world, as well as the increase in the number of printed books in the national language. F. Bacon distinguished three “faculties of the rational soul”: memory (history), imagination (poetry) and rational judgment (philosophy). In contrast to the Neoplatonists’ ideas, F. Bacon reserved for poetry the status of an instrument of heuristics, contributing to the s

Abstract:
H.P. Lovecraft created an original mythology that has not only become science fiction and fantasy classics, but also determined horror genre development in general. In his literary works, Lovecraft used images derived from both ancient religious traditions and contemporary western esotericism, filling his imaginary worlds with mysterious cosmic creatures. The writer’s cultural and historic environment played a very important role as the cultural landscape of New England and theosophical concepts widespread at that time had a great impact on the author’s work and writing.

Abstract:
Heavy metal in the United Kingdom, as in many countries around the world, is thriving and has become a respectable form of popular culture, and its fans and musicians are seen everywhere. The same position of respectability has been gained by academics and the once-mocked subject field of metal music studies. In this article, I try to map metal in the United Kingdom today through a case study of Wytch Hazel and Arð, two bands located in the north of England. I will argue that metal in the United Kingdom is still a space for resistance to the commodification of the mainstream and the constructi

Abstract:
The New Yorker cartoon, with its pessimistic emphasis on a child's economic prospects, provides a foil to the Whittington story and its optimistic attitude toward law and social possibility. I suggest in this talk that contemporary children's literature shares with the cartoon a similar lack of confidence in law's capacity to generate advancement and prosperity. My comments rely on Eleanor Updale's award-winning Montmorency series and Philip Pullman's widely acclaimed His Dark Materials trilogy to try to glean a better sense of cultural understandings of law and of law's contemporary relation

Abstract:
The 21st century has seen the rise of a new phenomenon – the creation of statues and monuments celebrating the lives of entertainers. Drawing on debates about popular culture, placemaking and heritage, and in the context of recent controversies about the politics of statues and memorials, this paper examines a manifestation of this phenomenon as represented by statues of comedians erected in the towns of Northern England. The paper begins by sketching the characteristics of the statues and their subjects. It proceeds by reflecting on their emergence in the context of debates about the conteste

Abstract:
Mary Butts’ examination of place derives its central vitality from a grounding in the landscapes of Dorset. Her attempts to re-enchant this world by drawing upon myth and mysticism often become ideologically problematic; her project is fundamentally ambivalent, combining a deep sense of attachment to her home region with a similarly strong desire to reinvent that area. Such reimaginings take complex forms: sometimes expressing a deracinated sensibility that reclaims rural England as a cosmopolitan zone in which marginalised socio-cultural groups can thrive; and emphasising the landscape’s anim

Abstract Reviewing the recent interest and excitement in marginalia and readers’ marks, this chapter offers some methodological reflection. Often marginalia are read for their biographical information about the writing reader, with the attendant excitement of human connection across time and place: I discuss the imaginary life-story of the early annotator reverse-engineered from the notes in a copy of Shakespeare’s First Folio. This biographical approach restricts marginalia to self-disclosure. Instead, using reader-response criticism, I suggest the possibility of that the book itself might ac

Hythloday is introduced as a Portuguese, a man who had accompanied Amerigo Vespucci on one of his famous voyages to the New World, and had been left behind in Brazil.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses chastity’s role in English (and British) national identity, arguing that Shakespeare’s Rape of Lucrece and Cymbeline question the Roman myth’s application in early capitalist England. In particular, both works employ chastity-as-treasure tropes tointerrogate the ways in which commercial models disrupt national ideologies that align Elizabeth I’s virgin body with the integrity of the state. The Rape of Lucrece exposes the ways in which mercantile treasure discourse invites sexual violence, compromising a woman who metonymically symbolises the state. In Cymbeline, Shakespe
