Description
The coastline has long been a source of fascination in the British imagination. From the 18th to the early 20th centuries, its cultural significance evolved in complex and multifaceted ways. This book explores these diverse meanings, examining how the coast was perceived as both a place of solitude and exhilaration, and a space of usefulness and instrumentality. Through essays from leading experts in maritime studies and interdisciplinary discussions with literary criticism, art history, museum studies, and cultural geography, Coastal Cultures of the Long Nineteenth Century sheds new light on the multifaceted nature of coastal spaces. The book challenges traditional scholarly period boundaries, spanning a broad range of topics relevant to our understanding of the coast. By examining the various ways in which the coastline was imagined and engaged with during this period, the authors offer a nuanced and insightful exploration of the cultural significance of the coast in the long nineteenth century.
