'With its wide range of insightful essays on both French- and English-language texts, Radford and Reid's book has much to contribute to our understanding both of Modernism as a transnational phenomenon and, more specifically, of the rich and peculiar cultural history of the Channel and its coasts.' - Dominic Rainsford, Professor of Literatures in English, Aarhus University; author of Literature, Identity and the English Channel
