He argues that English Literature emerges from the development of the state and that consequently it has suppressed the idea of the nation. His claim is that English Literature has lost its form since its methodology and canonicity depended so heavily on a constitutional form which can no longer be defended. He calls upon those working in English Literature to recognise that they are not really participating in the same discipline, defined by the Burkean constitutional settlement, even if they think of themselves as writing 'within the canon'. His view is that a lack of appreciation of 'hard-edged' political factors have led to a 'continuant' and regressive form of English Literature which tends to hang on to stifling methodologies. In its place, he appeals for the creation of a more open-ended, inclusive, internationalist, and comparative 'literature of England'."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aNational characteristics in literature 606 $aEnglish literature 615 0$aNational characteristics in literature. 615 0$aEnglish literature. 676 $a820.9 700 $aGardiner$b Michael$f1970-$0803437 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141820103321 996 $aConstitution of English Literature$91804679 997 $aUNINA
