Eva Antal (EDT), Csaba Czegledi (EDT), Eszter Krakko (EDT) Contemporary Perspectives on Language, Culture and Identity in Anglo-American Contexts

Annotation

This collection of essays highlights the great variety one finds in contemporary scholarly discourse in the fields of English and American studies and English linguistics in a broad and inclusive way. It is divided into thematically structured sections, the first two of which examine the motif of travelling and images of recollection in literary works, while the third and the fourth parts deal with male and female voices in narratives. Another chapter discusses visual and textual representations of history. The last two subsections focus on the rhetorical and theoretical questions of language. The pluralism of themes indicated in the book's title can thus be regarded not as a limitation, but, rather, as evidence of its potential.
