Walls and Bridges in Anglophone Literature and History

The volume Walls and Bridges in Anglophone Literature and History brings together six essays that explore the ways in which boundaries are constructed and transgressed within English-speaking cultures, both in literal and figurative terms. The imagery of walls and bridges functions not only as a unifying theme but also as an analytical lens through which the authors address issues related to power relations, identity formation, ideological frameworks, and processes of change. Although the chapters cover a wide range of historical periods, literary forms, and geographical contexts, they are connected by a shared focus on historical, textual, and symbolic structures that both connect and separate individuals, communities, and nations.
