ENG-220 Regionalisms of the British Isles
The British Isles, covering only approximately
120,000 square miles, have historically been home
to numerous geographically defined cultures,
traditions, and dialects. Travelers past and
present have been quick to note that traversing
what Americans would consider a short distance
positions one in a new place. This course will
explore regionalism as articulated through
literature, considering local identity,
nationalism, and nostalgia as key forces shaping
geographically formed expressions of the
diversity of the British Isles. Regions
emphasized will vary from semester to
semester.(Introduction to Literary Studies)
