"How has Europe shaped British literature and culture - and vice versa - since the Middle Ages? This volume discusses the long history of British-European cultural and literary interactions since the early modern period. It offers four different approaches to the complexity of 'Europe.'"--

A study that traces the way representations of 'Germanness' in modernist British literature from 1890 to 1950 contributed to the development of English identity. It examines the shift in attitudes towards Germany and Germans, from suspicious competitiveness in the late Victorian period to the aggressive hostility of the First World War.

Focusing particularly on the British context, this study offers the first analysis of contemporary popular and literary fiction, film, TV and art exhibitions about Nazis and Nazism.
