Eitan Bar-Yosef The Holy Land in English Culture 1799-191 (Hardback) (UK IMPORT)
Author: Eitan Bar-Yosef. Bar-Yosef argues that the Protestant tradition of internalizing Biblical vocabulary – ‘Promised Land’, ‘Chosen People’, ‘Jerusalem’ – and applying it to different, often contesting, visions of England and Englishness evoked a unique sense of ambivalence towards the imperial desire to possess the Holy Land.
