“Slippy with Rot”: The Irish Potato Famine and Neo-Victorianism’s Colonial Roots

Although she manages to transgress the ideological boundaries surrounding her, she simultaneously contributes to the …
Imperial pasts, dystopian futures, and the theatre of Brexit
Even though traditionally a major analyst of the status quo of the British nation, British theatre has barely responded to Brexit. Two recent plays that seem to have captured the Brexit zeitgeist particularly well look towards the past: whereas Albion (2017), Mike Bartlett's take on the country house drama, depicts an Englishness nostalgically mourning its long-lost colonial prowess, Jez Butterworth's dissection of the Troubles in Northern Irelan…
The colonial remains of Brexit: Empire nostalgia and narcissistic nationalism
Since the formal end of colonialism, perhaps no single political event has been as influential in shaping British narratives of national and transnational identity as the United Kingdom’s (UK) depa
