Über den Autor
Nicholas Allen's work is located at the intersection between literature, history, and visual culture. His interests include the study of modernism, empire, and increasingly, writing about ocean and archipelago. He has taught previously at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the National University of Ireland, Galway, where he was academic director of the Moore Institute. His books include Broken Landscapes: Selected letters on Ernie O'Malley(Dublin, 2011), Modernism, Ireland and Civil War (CUP, 2009), That Other Island (2007), The Proper Word (2007), George Russell and the New Ireland (2003), and The Cities of Belfast (2003).Nick Groom is an academic and writer. He is professor in English at the University of Exeter and has written widely on literature, music, and contemporary art. He is the author of a dozen books and editions, including The Forger's Shadow (2002), The Union Jack (2006), and, most recently, The Gothic (2012).Jos Smith is an author and researcher with a specialist interest in the intersection of literature and cultural geography. In particular his work explores 'vibrant localism', that is, cultural activity driven by environmental concern that transforms attitudes to place. This is a subject central to his recent book on 'The New Nature Writing' and to his current research project exploring a cultural history of the arts and environmental charity Common Ground.
