Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

• Rather than being limited to political or legal discussion (like most books on Brexit), it explores the relationship between cultural production and Brexit (both in the lead up to it; and in its aftermath). • It is the first major study to take a comparative approach to analysing the relationship between cultural production and Brexit in all 4 nations of the UK. This comparative approach is necessary to get a detailed picture of the complex dynamics at work across each. • This book is highly interdisciplinary in nature, looking at the rise of the cultural industries; the relationship between the UK City of Culture festival and its fore-runner, the European Capital of Culture; national book prizes in Britain and Europe; British variations on Nordic Noir TV; and the Brexit novel. As a result, it draws on research in the disciplines of geography, economics, film and television studies, history and politics as well as publishing and literary studies. It therefore has the potential to appeal to readers and researchers across these fields.
