商品描述
This edited volume explores the historical, cultural and literary legacies of Polish Britain, and their significance for both the British and Polish nations. The focus of the book is twofold. First, it investigates the history of Polish immigration and the ways in which Polish immigrants have conceptualised their own experiences and encounters with Britain and the British. Second, it examines how Poles and Poland have been represented by Anglophone writers in both fictional and non-fictional forms of discourse. Inevitably, these issues are intertwined. Polish experiences of Britain have been shaped, in part, by British ideas about Poland, just as British notions of Poland have been transformed by the emergence of large and culturally active Polish communities in the UK. By studying these issues together, this volume develops a wide-ranging and original analysis of Polish Britain.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本編輯書籍探討了波蘭英國的歷史、文化和文學遺產，以及它們對英國和波蘭兩國的重要性。書籍的重點有兩個方面。首先，它調查了波蘭移民的歷史，以及波蘭移民如何概念化他們與英國及英國人的經歷和遭遇。其次，它考察了波蘭人和波蘭在英語作家所創作的虛構和非虛構話語中是如何被表現的。這些問題不可避免地是相互交織的。波蘭人在英國的經歷部分受到英國對波蘭的觀念影響，正如英國對波蘭的看法也因為在英國出現了大型且文化活躍的波蘭社群而轉變。通過共同研究這些問題，本書對波蘭英國進行了廣泛而原創的分析。
