This collection of essays discusses writers who have in common their use of the English language. Yet "English" does not mean the same for all: some have chosen English as a medium of expression while others have had it thrust upon them, and others have had to choose between dialects or dialect and standard language. Such choices and the cultural collisions that often underlie them are the theme of many of the essays collected here. The authors are from all over the world and their subject matter ranges from Shakespeare to Hardy, from Margaret Oliphant to Kazuo Ishiguro and from the Canadian prairies to the Falklands War. Peter Preston was co-editor with Peter Hoare of "D.H. Lawrence in the Modern World".
