Exploring the dynamic relationship between British literature and regional consciousness, this volume delves into the significance of place and belonging in 19th- and 20th-century writing. It highlights a blend of well-known classics and overlooked works from diverse voices, including those of working-class and forgotten authors. The analysis spans England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, addressing the sociopolitical context of regional novels, the influence of regional presses, and the role of documentary in shaping regional identity.
