This edited collection, including contributors from the disciplines of art history, film studies, cultural geography and cultural anthropology, explores ways in which islands in the north of England and Scotland have provided space for a variety of visual-cultural practices and forms of creative expression which have informed our understanding of the world. Simultaneously, the chapters reflect upon the importance of these islands as a space in which, and with which, to contemplate the pressures and the possibilities within contemporary society. This book makes a timely and original contribution to the developing field of island studies, and will be of interest to scholars studying issues of place, community and the peripheries.
Ysanne Holt is Professor of Art History and Visual Culture at Northumbria University. David Martin-Jones is Professor of Film Studies at the University of Glasgow. Owain Jones is Professor of Environmental Humanities at Bath Spa University.
