Are the peripheries the new centre? Is the story of the margins just a figment of the metropole's imagination? How do the 'debatable lands' of Scandinavia and Scotland write their relations with their national centres, and with each other?
In these sixteen essays, Scandinavian and Scottish scholars trace ways to tell the stories of connections, boundaries and localities that might go undetected by historians and artists in the metropolitan centres. How have postcolonialism and postnationalism made themselves felt in the literature of the cultural patchwork of Northern Europe? Centring on the Peripheries opens up unexpected perspectives on cultural roots and on the routes between cultures, demonstrating that relations between 'core' and 'periphery' are in constant flux.
It will appeal to scholars of cultural identity, postcolonialism and European literature, and to readers
