Identity: Englishness and the Reconfiguration of the Nation -- Myth:Ideology, Symbolic Forms and the 'mythical present' -- Memory: Shapingthe Present out of the Past -- Media: Challenging Modernism: the 'middlebrow' and Memodrama -- Steak-and-Kidney Pie in the Land of Cockaigne -- English Journeys -- Addressing the People -- English Dreamtime in Cornwall -- From Gothic to Memodrama -- The Skeleton in the Cupboard.

Globalisation, devolution and the challenges of a postcolonial and multicultural society havefuelled the debate about national identity inBritain in recent years. Notions of individual and collective identityhave revolved around a number of stereotypes of 'Britishness' or 'Englishness' whichappear ever more incongruous. This study suggests that these debates still draw on discourses of Englishness which were shaped in the interwar period and amplified in Second World War propaganda. From the 1920s to the 1940s, Englishness as a form of collective and cultural identity can be describedasa 'symbolic form', comprising specific notions of the people and their relationship to the country,most powerfully visualized in landscapes embodying a 'mythical present'. Two case studies, focused on J.B. Priestley and Daphne du Maurier, explore crucial ways in which popular 'middlebrow' authors imagine and shape the nation, providing a fresh and innovative approach to literary negotiations of cultural identity.
