Across the Margins offers a comparative, theoretically informed analysis of the cultural formation of the Atlantic Archipelago. In its overall conception and in specific contributions, this collection demonstrates the benefits of working across the disciplines of history, geography, literature, and cultural studies. It also presents new configurations of cultural forms hitherto associated with specifically national and sub-national literatures.Contributors to this text discuss what it is to be British or Irish, and how people come to describe themselves as such. The study offers a interdisciplinary comparative analysis of the cultural formation of the Atlantic Archipelago.
