Reviews
'Despite the abundance of literature on bodies of water, this particular area of scholarship is extremely limited, and thus Cusack's book is a welcome addition to most major research libraries. Art and Identity at the Water's Edge will be a valuable resource for scholarly academic libraries that support cross-disciplinary research in art, architecture, history, cultural studies, national identities, and land studies.' Arlis
'It is strange, given the island nature of Britain's geography, that until very recently there has been so little in the literature, as Tricia Cusack points out, describing either the complexities of our cultural relationship to the water's edge or the way these contingencies are represented in our cultural imaginings. This most welcome book sets out the groundwork and opens up the field for timely further consideration, and along with several other significant publications... serves to bring the sea in from the margins of cultural geographical study.'
