Trade Review
'This volume is an ingenious and persuasive tour de force of interdisciplinary research. Highly recommended.' -- A.R. Vogeler Choice Magazine; vol 51:05:14 'Dire Straits is to be welcomed as an important counter-balance to influential histories of the rise of English patriotism and its figuration through geographic discourse... A book which has much to offer to geographers, historians and students of literature alike.' -- Robert Mayhew Journal of Historical Geography vol 30:01:2014
