The contribution of culture to European integration and the formation of a European identity is becoming increasingly recognised. Appeals to a common European culture as well as to different national cultures have been used respectively as a means to pursue political ends. Paying tribute to literature's role as an important part of a culture, this collection of essays explores literary representations of Europe and its nation-states. Under the headings 'Portrayal of the Continent', 'Inner/Outer Perspectives in Comparison', and 'The Idea of Europe and National Identity', various contributors discuss different perspectives on Europe in order to add another dimension to the complex and diverse discussion on European integration.
