This lecture uncovers some of the history behind that branding of Belfast. It ta…

31:26

This lecture is concerned with the mid-twentieth-century Cumbrian poet Norman Nicholson.

This lecture is an exploration of the archipelagic island imagination of artist, poet and writer Brenda Chamberlain (1912–71) under the rubric of literary cartography.
