Covid-19, the Second World War, and the Idea of Britishness

Covid-19, the Second World War, and the Idea of Britishness: British Identities Since 1707


en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 aug 2021
In Great Britain, discussions of the Coronavirus pandemic have frequently been intertwined with references to the Second World War. Such allusions are to be found in political speeches, journalistic accounts and opinion pieces; they are also replete in the cultural sphere. Bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines, this comprehensive volume seeks to evaluate the uses (and abuses) of this rhetoric. The result is a multifaceted meditation on Britain¿s response to the pandemic.
