Through the analysis of artistic objects and critical writings that crystallise this encounter, the essays in this volume demonstrate the variety and complexity of the connections between two geographical zones and two or more cultures.\u003cbr\u003e Mediterranean cultures are shown to haunt American and British culture and artistic productions. The relation between British and American literature and art on the one hand, and Mediterranean arts on the other goes beyond the mere inscription of British and American culture in a Mediterranean tradition. British and American culture and art come out as unearthing a wide variety of Mediterranean artistic forms, renewing and transforming them.\u003cbr\u003e This collection shows how lively the encounter between the Mediterranean and the English-Speaking worlds still is. It highlights how much English as well as American culture and art owe today to the Mediterranean ones; how, mainly in the fields of literature and art, the two civilisations have never discontinued the dialogue they adumbrated centuries ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Christine Reynier: Introduction – Marc Smith: Importing Masters and Culture: Or Why Create the Art Market? – Guillaume Tanguy: The Museum and the Mosaic: Anti-Mythology or Counter-Mythology in Edith Wharton’s \u003ci\u003eThe Custom of the Country \u003c\/i\u003e(1913)? – Vincent Dussol: Ed Dorn, an American Heretic in Languedoc – Fabienne Couécou: Ford Madox Ford’s \u003ci\u003eEngland and the English\u003c\/i\u003e: The Language of the Troubadours or Englishness Revisited – Jonathan Pollock: Lucretius, Bruno and \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake – \u003c\/i\u003eClaire Hélie: Basil Bunting’s \u003ci\u003eBriggflatts \u003c\/i\u003e(1965) and Lucretius’s \u003ci\u003eThe Nature of the Universe \u003c\/i\u003e(1st c.
