Genevieve Abravanel's trenchant monograph anatomizes the various ways British writers responded to the ever-increasing influence of U.S culture on England and the rest of the world. Specifically, she shows how the threat of Americanization encouraged a widespread retreat into nostalgia for English literary heritage and folk culture, rendering Englishness a consolation prize for the anticipated loss of imperial supremacy.
