Book description
Are the peripheries the new centre? How do the ‘debatable lands’ of Scandinavia and Scotland write their relations with their national centres, and with each other? Is the story of the margins just a figment of the metropole’s imagination? How have postcolonialism and postnationalism made themselves felt in the literature of the cultural patchwork of Northern Europe? In these sixteen essays, Scandinavian and Scottish scholars trace ways to tell the stories of connections, boundaries and localities that might go undetected by historians and artists in the metropolitan centres. Centring on the Peripheries opens up unexpected perspectives on cultural roots and on the routes between cultures, demonstrating that relations between ‘core’ and ‘periphery’ are in constant flux. It will appeal to scholars of cultural identity, postcolonialism and European literature, and to readers who delight in exploring the borderlands of the literary canon.

Audiobooks on this app have made studying and learning a more enjoyable process. Decent audiobook but I think I would have enjoyed reading it more. Some of the more subtle humor didn't quite land in the audio format.

Tone adjustment is such an innovative feature. It adds a personal touch to narration. The app is super intuitive. I was up and running in minutes. This audiobook was neither good nor bad - simply average. The narrator's delivery was professional but uninspired, and the recording quality was clean though not exceptional. It provided satisfactory entertainment without standing out from similar titles.
