The unifying theme is the interrelationship between literary / cultural production and its historical moment. The essays in the collection are astute and exciting in terms of their engagement with ever-changing developments in critical and theoretical practice while retaining an invaluable focus on familiar and engaging texts and authors. The contributors offer a reappraisal of the nature of literary studies today, looking back over the thirty-five years of Peter Widdowson's career - a career which has coincided with the emergence of, challenges to, and reformulations of critical theory - and ask what the future holds, particularly for the interdisciplinary ways of working which Widdowson pioneered. Bringing together distinguished scholars in the interdisciplinary study of English and History, it seizes the opportunity to take stock of the current field of literary studies and to ask searching questions about its future development. 410 0$aContinuum literary studies. 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $2General & world history 606 $aLiterature and history$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aHistory in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory. 676 $a820.9 702 $aWiddowson$b Peter 702 $aBarker$b Simon 702 $aGill$b Jo$f1965- 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456606003321 996 $aLiterature as history$92148721 997 $aUNINA
