Description
The Britannias: An Island Quest by Alice Albinia This book explores Britain's islands and their place in the country's collective cultural psyche. From Neolithic Orkney to modern-day Thanet, Albinia examines how these islands have shaped the nation's history and identity. Through a journey across borders and genres, Albinia uncovers neglected epics and subversive voices, shedding new light on the ancient British mythology of islands ruled by women. By looking back into the past for direction and solace, she also searches for meaning about women's status in society today. By boldly challenging established truths about Britain, The Britannias pays homage to the beauty, independence, and suppressed histories of its islands.
