In August 2008, the twelfth in a series of biennial conferences on the Literature of Region and Nation was held at Aberdeen University in the NorthEast of Scotland. Over fifty scholars, representing no fewer than twenty different countries, convened for the occasion; and twentytwo of the papers presented are included in this volume. As at previous conferences in the series, the papers range widely in approach, in subjectmatter and in geographical coverage: readers of this book will find explorations of literature from all five continents. The papers are arranged thematically: the central concepts of region and nation are examined in the first section; and subsequent sets of papers go on to consider literary and pictorial representations of places and people, literature of diaspora and exile (a keynote topic of the conference), the use of language (particularly nonstandard languages) in literary texts, and artistic interactions between cultures. All the papers have been peerreviewed, and some extensively revised. The collection demonstrates the vitality of scholarship in the field of regional literary studies.
