The increasing number of Eastern Europeans living in Britain has provoked ambivalent and diverse responses, including representations in film and literature that range from travel writing, humorous fiction, mockumentaries, musicals, drama and children?s literature to the thriller. The present volume discusses a wide range of representations of Eastern and Central Europe and its people as reflected in British literature, film and culture. The book offers new readings of authors who have influenced the cultural imagination since the nineteenth century, such as Bram Stoker, George Bernard Shaw, Joseph Conrad and Arthur Koestler. It also discusses the work of more contemporary writers and film directors including Sacha Baron Cohen, David Cronenberg, Vesna Goldsworthy, Kapka Kassabova, Marina Lewycka, Ken Loach, Mike Phillips, Joanne K. Rowling and Rose Tremain. With its focus on post-Wall Europe, Facing the East in the West goes beyond discussions of migration to Britain from an established postcolonial perspective and contributes to the current exploration of 'new' European identities. 410 0$aInternationale Forschungen zur allgemeinen und vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft ;$v138. 607 $aEurope$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a820.935847000904 701 $aKorte$b Barbara$0608123 701 $aPirker$b Eva Ulrike$0966276 701 $aHelff$b Sissy$0906711 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459531003321 996 $aFacing the East in the West$92247261 997 $aUNINA
