Shakespeare’s House A Window onto his Life and Legacy

Richard Schoch, Queen’s University Belfast, UK

'A terrific addition to the Shakespeare library ... eye-opening.' - Michael Billington, Country Life

Richard Schoch explores the appeal of Shakespeare's 'Birthplace' to visitors by examining the history of the house through time and how its changing fortunes reflect the changing attitudes toward Shakespeare himself

Based on original research, this book traces the history of Shakespeare’s birthplace, beginning in the 1560s, when Shakespeare was born there, and ending in the 1890s, when the house was rescued from private purchase and turned into the Shakespeare monument that it remains today

The Arden Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s Compassion Emotion

and the Classics on the Early Modern Stage

Anne Sophie Refskou, Aarhus University, Denmark

Through close readings of key plays – Titus Andronicus, Richard III, Hamlet and King Lear –the main classical sources and the drama of his contemporaries , this book argues that Shakespeare’s dramatization of compassion, far from expressing a sense of universal empathy, reveals a complex early modern emotion available to be solicited and manipulated as a discursive vehicle for the exclusion of others It demonstrates how Shakespeare’s engagement with the classical literature enables his dramatization of key questions of race, gender, sexuality and the relationship between human beings and nonhuman animals that are central to the current critical field.

Dostoevsky's Hamlet in Nineteenth-Century Russia

The Paradox of Subjectivity

Petra Bjelica, University of Verona, Italy

Dostoevsky uses Hamlet to address some of the most important problems in Russian culture in the second half of the 19th century Approaching Dostoevsky’s engagement with Shakespeare through a focus on his novel, Demons, Petra Bjelica considers the figure of Hamlet as it connects to Russian national identity, spirituality and cultural migration Bjelica argues that Russian Hamletism is a perfect example of how a literary phenomenon forms through a specific culture. Rather than just referencing the play, Dostoevsky’s engagement with opposing and contradictory elements of Russian Hamletism dramatize the Hamletian dilemma anew

Shakespeare in Ireland

Adaptations and Appropriations

Edited by Andrew Murphy

Considering the ways in which such Irish writers as Samuel Beckett and W B Yeats drew on Shakespearean material in producing their own work, whilst analysing Shakespearean influence in both Irish society and its theatrical landscape, essays in this collection explore the history of Irish Shakespeare through the numerous ways in which Shakespeare and his work were reconfigured and recycled into various Irish contexts. Shakespeare in Ireland shows how Shakespeare has been rendered Irish in a variety of complex ways, and is an exercise in tracking how Shakespeare becomes a fully hibernicised figure.

Early Modern English Poetry Beyond Shakespeare

Edited by Fabio Ciambella, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, Cristiano Ragni & Camilla Caporicci, University of Perugia, Italy

The Health Resort in Modern European Literature Transnational Trajectories

Henrike Schmidt, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany & Astrid Köhler, Queen Mary University of London, UK

This innovative open access book traces a transnational trajectory of the ‘literary spa’ from its rise in the Enlightenment period to the wellness age of the 21st century Spa literature – and its iconic representation in works such as Walter Scott’s St. Ronan’s Well (1823), Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s The Gambler (1866) or Thomas Mann’s Magic Mountain (1924) – has already attracted due scholarly attention, with a focus on distinct national literatures Contrary to this convention, The Health Resort in Modern European Literature maps spa literature and spa reading across and between several European locations and cultures, highlighting their various intertextual links and references, including hitherto less studied texts in, for example, Bulgarian, Croatian, French, Polish, Swedish or Ukrainian, and texts by female and male authors

Intertextual Exoticism

Oceania and Colonial Loss in Early Twentieth-Century German Literature

Richard Sperber, Carthage College, USA

Richard Sperber reads a body of non-canonical German exoticist literature published after imperial Germany's loss of colonial Oceania in 1914, applying theories of "intertextuality" (Kristeva) and recent scholarship on literary exoticism to explore Germany's postwar crises of psychology, masculinity, and national identity mapped onto Oceanic spaces Through analyzing the nuances between narratives that make up these exotic texts, and also by comparing German exotic literatures about Oceania with other canonized adventure texts set in European colonies, such as Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Sperber defines a genre of transnational and intertextual postwar literature that brings new perspectives on the conditions of colonial loss

Representing Social Precarity in German Literature and Film

Edited by Sophie Duvernoy, Yale University, USA, Karsten Olson, North Carolina Asheville, USA & Ulrich Plass, Wesleyan University, USA

Since 2000, much attention has been paid to the increase in social precarity in Europe and the US Phenomena of precarization (underemployment, indebtedness, deaths of despair) tend to be causally linked to the rise of neoliberalism as a strategy of governance that redistributes risk to the already vulnerable This volume broadens the scope beyond this narrow definition of precarity, using Germany as a national case study, to examine the historical genesis of precarity, its evolution from 19th-century industrial modernity to the present, and its reflections and reconfigurations in artistic production, in particular with relation to work, gender, and sexuality

The "German Illusion"

Germany and Jewish-German Motifs in Hélène Cixous’s Late Work

Olivier Morel, University of Notre Dame, USA

As of January 2021, Hélène Cixous has published at least 1116 pages of texts related to “Germany ” These texts are written, in one way or another, under the name, under the signs or influence of “Germany,” “German,” “Osnabrück,” and read together they offer a unique literary meditation on the Holocaust The study of Cixous’s “German trope” helps us refine our understanding of an uncannily original oeuvre that embodies the complexities of modernity’s genocidal history in a new way It sheds light on under-researched dimensions of Cixous’s publications on gender while providing insights into a major creator of our time

Literature in Late Monolingualism

Literacies for the Linguacene

David Gramling, University of British Columbia, Canada

Monolingualism is bad, literature is good — right? Though an oversimplification, many of us do tend to quickly associate monolingualism with control, nationalism, indifference, and racist violence In contrast, literature stands as a beacon for expansive human expression and experience, across Earth’s thousands of human languages But what if this division of things leads us to underestimate the ongoing historical and aesthetic relationship between monolingualism and literature? What if novels made in a European mould tend to be much more obliged and indebted to monolingual structures than their publishers, and even their critics, acknowledge? Instead of whistling past this inconvenience, Literature in Late Monolingualism recognizes it squarely—and details how many authors of contemporary novels do so too

The Rise of Office Literature

Bureaucratization and Aesthetics in Britain and France, 1810-1900

Daniel Jenkin-Smith, Aston University, UK

Romantics, satirists, journalists, novelists, feminists, radicals, conservatives, Naturalists and Decadents: a whole slew of French and British writers from across the 19th century were obsessed with offices. A cloistered world of mind-numbing, repetitive labour, the office was also, somehow, a key component of emergent modern society – a contradiction that enthralled and confounded readers, writers and office workers alike. This book explores the changing portrayal of office life as the history of a ‘forgotten genre’, asserting that ‘office literature’ is an essential tool for understanding the interrelation of aesthetic, social, technological, and ideological change across the 19th century

The Ego Made Manifest

Max Stirner, Egoism, and the Modern Manifesto

Wayne Bradshaw, Research Associate, James Cook University, Australia,

Though long regarded as an unimportant figure from the fringes of 19th-century German idealism, this book argues that many of the accepted truisms about Max Stirner and his reception are false, and that his contribution to modernist and avant-garde manifesto-writing traditions has been all but ignored It documents the trajectory of Stirner’s reception from the mid-19th century to his rediscovery by readers almost 50 years later, from his popularity among manifesto writers in fin de siècle France to the birth of Italian Futurism and how, in an age of extremism, Stirner’s ideas continue to haunt the modern mind

Alchemies of Blood and AfroDiasporic Fiction

Race, Kinship,

and the Passion for Ontology

Nicole Simek, Whitman College, USA

Alchemies of Blood and Afro-Diasporic Fiction focuses on the resurgence of biological racism in 21st-century public discourse, the ontological and material turns in the academy that have occurred over the same time period, and how Afro-diasporic fiction has responded to both with alternative visions of bloodlines, kinship, and community In thinking through conceptions of race, ethnicity, and materiality at work within both humanities research and popular culture, Nicole Simek asks how the figure of alchemy – that semi-scientific, semi-mystical search for gold and the elixir of long life – can help scholars address the epistemological and affective investments in blood, bloodlines, and genetics marking both academic and mainstream discourses

The first full-length study of neo-Victorian fiction through the lens of dress, fashion, and im/ materiality, this book traces the imaginative and narrative extensions of Victorian women’s clothing in contemporary historical fiction. Interrogating how and why material forms of dress manifest themselves through tropes of immateriality, of haunting and spectrality, Danielle Dove explores the way in which fictional renderings of 19th-century clothes permit modern-day readers a way of accessing past bodies The book demonstrates that the uncanny agency that exudes from these articles of dress testifies to the contemporary desire to reconnect with the Victorian past

Rod Giblett, Deakin University, Australia

What do two white men born in the 19th century have to say that could be of any use or value in the current conjuncture of climate collapse and the recent re-rise of reactionary forces against progressive politics? Turns out, a lot, especially on waking up and critiquing anti-woke ideology on the topics of nature, life, social injustice, environmental destruction, and industrial capitalism and its technologies As Giblett shows, Henry David Thoreau – an inspiration for William Melvin Kelley’s writing on ‘staying woke’ – and Walter Benjamin provide tools of critique for waking to sexism, racism and placism

Worldly Spirits, Extra-Human Dimensions, and the Global Anglophone Novel

Hilary Thompson, Bowdoin College, USA

Engaging contemporary Anglophone literature from the Asian, Middle Eastern and Caribbean diasporas, this book explores how such works invoke spirit forces, spirit realms and spirit beings such as positive forces that present visions of the Earth as agentive and animate Rejecting notions that these are uncanny hauntings or products of an exotic East or global South, this book builds a critical framework for analysing worldly spirits that draws upon anthropological discussions of animism, the art movement Dimensionism, and multispecies theories of animals’ diverse perceptual worlds A refreshing rejection of ecological apocalypticism, this book unsettles conceptualizations of Anglophone and Anthropocene literatures

Following the ‘material turn’ in the humanities, this book brings perspectives from science and ecology into dialogue with children’s fiction written and published in the UK and the USA in the twenty-first century.

Kant, Adorno, and the Forms of History

William S. Allen, University of Southampton, UK

William S Allen sets the works of Theodor Adorno, Immanuel Kant and Peter Weiss in dialogue, revealing how an interrogation of the aesthetics of 'the whole' and the conception of history in Western thought reveals new ways of thinking about history and historically This book traces how Adorno's reconsideration of history through his readings of Kant's Critique of Judgement are distinct from formulations offered by other thinkers More than any of them though, Adorno's aesthetics has introduced an alternative thought, which, Allen shows, has been modified and extended in the work of Peter Weiss and other contemporary thinkers

Redemptive Hybridism in PostPostmodern Writing

Tasha Haines, Independent Scholar, New Zealand

Tasha Haines investigates and defines Redemptive Hybridism in post-postmodern writing – a paradigmatic shift characterized by possibility

In textual production of the 21st century, Haines argues, postmodern elitism gives way to the reparative blending of high-low forms and genre collaborations Combining an innovative investigation with auto-theoretical strategies, Haines offers new interpretations of texts belonging to ‘the modernisms continuum’ – from Virginia Woolf to David Foster Wallace and beyond She responds to the hybrid-and-creative theories of Deleuze and Guattari, Hassan and others, arriving at a new way of viewing works that exemplify the liminal space of possibility, self-expression and genre blending

The editors of this volume opine that the discourse of posthumanism in India warrants urgent consideration, if we are to adequately address both national and global emergencies and look for solutions that India may be in a unique position to offer Essays in the volume are by scholars in the area dealing with representative directions relating to posthumanism in India These are divided into five areas of cultural relevance —internal selves and others; technology, normativity and ethics; human and animal; bodies and their discards; becoming-cosmos. Together they form the beginnings of an approach to a critical cartography of posthumanism as it pertains specifically to India.

Re-temporalising the Cultural in India

Edited by Ritwick Bhattacharjee & Srinjoyee Dutta

The book looks at the different ways the temporal features in the existential exigencies of the human located within the definitive boundaries of Indianness . This has been done through an interrogation of different cultural artefacts that have been produced, across the space and time of the Indian nation, to look not only at representations of Time but how time (as the temporal) actually finds a play in them. The global interaction that India has had to go through, either as a British colony or a world post-colony, has allowed a meshing in of the western philosophical conceptualisations of time with (and within) the Indian ones

The Ethics of Immediacy

Dangerous Experience in Freud, Woolf, and Merleau-Ponty

Jeffrey McCurry, Duquesne University, USA

Drawing connections between Freudian psychoanalysis, Virginia Woolf’s criticism and fiction, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology, The Ethics of Immediacy recounts the farreaching consequences of the modern turn towards a new ethics of immediacy. During the first half of the twentieth century, a profound transformation took place in European culture in how human beings conceived of themselves A newfound appreciation for the realm of immediate experience in human life emerged With Freud himself making a signal contribution to this existential revolution, and with Woolf and Merleau-Ponty taking up Freud’s ideas in their own unique ways, all three figures began to regard first-order, spontaneous, direct, unselfconscious, concrete experience of self and world as standing at the heart of what it means to be human
