Great Britain is changing, and so is Europe. The aim of this book, therefore, is to reflect upon the processes of (re)creation of art and literature within and against the backdrop of the shifting paradigms of the world as we know it. At a time when the political relations between Great Britain, Europe and the rest of the world are being redefined, this book examines the (de)construction of modern identities through the (de)codification of classical and contemporary mythologies. Gran Bretanya està canviant, igual que Europa. L'objectiu d'aquest llibre, per tant, és reflexionar sobre els processos de (re)creació de l'art i la literatura dins del context dels paradigmes canviants del món tal com ho coneixem. En una època en la qual s'estan redefinint les relacions polítiques entre Gran Bretanya, Europa i la resta del món, aquest llibre examina la (de)construcció de les identitats modernes a través de la (de)codificació de les mitologies clàssica i contemporània.
