Abstract
Canada, the American South, the Caribbean, Scotland: there's no shortage of material there for a volume such as this. Of its nature we would expect the book to be variously faceted and focused. One instinctively welcomes the phenomenon that Jamaica Kincaid, Eudora Welty, Malcolm Lowry, Marion Angus and Lewis Grassic Gibbon arc all discussed within one set of covers. It may be that, between such writers of apparently disparate cultures, potentially provocative comparisons are not maximised; despite the plenary session which is transcribed at the end of the book one often has the feeling that individual scholars are doing their own individual bit, scattering the small change of predictable academic pieties. That is probably inevitable in a publication of this kind. However, if it doesn't sufficiently explore Terranglia, this collection usefully maps it: an honourable task for any book.
