Edited by Lara Bovilsky, University of Oregon, USA

Edited by Chloe Preedy, University of York, UK & William H. Sherman, University of York, UK

John Webster

This fully modernised play text is accompanied by insightful commentary notes, while its lively introduction provides an essential contextual grounding in the court scandals, anti-Catholic sentiment and Senecan drama that formed a backdrop to Webster’s tragedy. Exploring the challenges of staging this highly melodramatic play, Lara Bovilsky guides you through the most interesting points of its rich performance history, and analyses the onslaught of recent productions with race-conscious and regendered casts.

Christopher Marlowe

Kiernan Ryan, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK This ground-breaking book reveals the prophetic, revolutionary vision that drives Shakespeare’s tragedies, tracing its unbroken development from its beginnings in the Henry VI plays and Shakespeare’s first tragedy, Titus Andronicus, right through to his last, Coriolanus. The four full-length studies at the heart of the book focus in depth on Shakespeare’s four greatest tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth. Through compelling new readings of the plays, grounded in close analysis of their language and form, Kiernan Ryan shows how Shakespeare dramatizes the tragic realities of his world from the standpoint of the transfigured future that our world still awaits.

Shakespeare’s Others in 21stcentury European Performance The Merchant of Venice and Othello

Edited by Boika Sokolova, University of Notre Dame in London, UK & Janice Valls-Russell, University Paul Valéry, Montpellier, France The Merchant of Venice and Othello are the two Shakespeare plays which serve as touchstones for contemporary understandings and responses to notions of 'the stranger' and 'the other'.

Contemporary Readings in Textual Studies, Editing and Performance

Shakespeare / Text sets new agendas for the study and use of the Shakespearean text. Written by 20 leading experts on textual matters, each essay challenges a single entrenched binary—such as book/theater, source/ adaptation, text/paratext, canon/apocrypha, sense/nonsense, extant/ ephemeral, material/digital, and original/copy—that has come to both define and limit the way we read, analyze, teach, perform, and edit Shakespeare today. The chapters in Shakespeare / Text make strong cases for challenging received wisdom and offer new, portable methods of treating 'the text' (in its myriad instantiations) that will be useful to scholars, editors, theatre practitioners, teachers and librarians.

This collection brings together major scholars to introduce, analyze and theorize the rich variety of entangled documents produced in the playhouse before, during and after performance.

L I T E R A R Y S T U D I E S – The Arden Shakespeare

Shakespeare and Forgetting

Peter Holland, University of Notre Dame, USA This is the first book devoted to a consideration of how Shakespeare explores the concept of forgetting and how forgetting functions in performance. A wide-ranging study of how Shakespeare dramatizes forgetting, it offers close readings of Shakespeare's plays and considers too what we forget while watching the plays in performance, what Shakespeare forgot and what we forget about Shakespeare. The book touches on an equally broad range of forgetting theory from antiquity through to the present day, of forgetting in recent novels and films, and on dozens of productions across the history of Shakespeare on stage and film.

Imagining Cleopatra

Performing Gender and Power in Early Modern England Yasmin Arshad, Independent Scholar, USA

Shaming Gestures and Gender Politics on the Renaissance Stage Miranda Fay Thomas, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Shakespeare's Body Language is a groundbreaking new study of Shakespearean drama, revealing the previously unseen history of how social tensions are found within the performance of gestures, and how such gestures are used as a powerful form of control to shame others within the body politic of early modern England. It offers new insights into the motivations behind gesticular performance and the effects of their staging. Featuring in-depth analyses of plays across Shakespeare's career, this book explores how the playwright’s understanding of shame and humiliation is rooted in performance anxiety and gender politics, explaining how theatrical gestures can create dramatic tension in a way that words alone cannot.

Antony and Cleopatra: A Critical Reader Edited by Domenico Lovascio, University of Genoa, Italy

Shakespeare's characterization of Cleopatra may dominate the collective consciousness, but he was only one of several 16th-century writers fascinated with the former Queen of Egypt. This interdisciplinary study investigates images of Cleopatra in the early modern period and examines how her story was mediated and used. It draws on literary, philosophical, historical, art historical, and biographical resources, and gender, race, and performance studies, to consider what was known and thought about Cleopatra in the period.

Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeare's most enduringly popular and intellectually as well as emotionally challenging tragedies. This guide offers students and scholars an introduction to its critical and performance history, including notable stage productions and film versions. It includes a keynote chapter outlining major areas of current research on the play and four new critical essays that chart the play’s wrestling with the cultural iconography of three consequential personalities in Roman history and their role in a pivotal moment in Rome’s transition to empire.

Shakespeare’s Common Language

Alysia Kolentsis, University of Waterloo, Canada

Shakespeare’s Body Language

Shakespeare in the Theatre: Yukio Ninagawa

Conor Hanratty, Independent Scholar, Japan

What can recent developments in contemporary linguistics and language theory reveal about Shakespeare’s language in the plays? In this book, Alysia Kolentsis offers a finely-grained analysis of Shakespeare's use of language to illuminate how the common words used by characters in the plays contain significant clues about moments of interaction which are pivotal to the plots. With chapters focused on different approaches based in language theory, the author analyzes language change in Coriolanus; employs discourse analysis in her study of Troilus and Cressida; focuses on pragmatics in Richard II, and explores how Shakespeare engaged with various aspects of grammar in As You Like It.

Yukio Ninagawa (1935-2016) was Japan's foremost director of Shakespeare whose productions achieved acclaim around the world. He directed 31 productions of Shakespeare's plays, some, including Hamlet, on multiple occasions. This is the first English-language book dedicated to his work. It includes an overview of the Shakespeare plays he directed, and considers both his Shakespearean work and his productions of Euripides, including Oedipus The King and his production of Medea from 1978. Written by Conor Hanratty, who studied with Ninagawa for over a year, it offers a unique glimpse into the work of one of the world’s great theatre directors.

Theory in the "Post" Era

A Vocabulary for the Twenty-First-Century Conceptual Commons Edited by Christian Moraru, University of North Carolina, Greensboro, USA, Andrei Terian, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, Romania & Alexandru Matei, University “Ovidius” Constanta, Romania Since the Cold War’s end and especially in the third millennium, theorists have been exploring the aftermath—and sometimes the “after,” pure and simple—of whole paradigms, the crisis or “passing” of anthropocentrism, of an entire ontological and cultural “condition,” and the corresponding rise of an antagonist model. It is no coincidence, the contributors to this volume argue, that this “post” moment is also a time when theory is practiced as a world genre. Perhaps more than other humanist constituencies, today’s theorists work and belong in a theory commons that is transnational if still “uneven” economically, politically, and otherwise.

Secret Selves

A History of Our Inner Space Stephen Prickett, University of Glasgow, UK Our secret, inner, sense of self – what we feel makes us distinctively ‘us’ – seems a natural and permanent part of being human, yet in fact it is surprisingly new. Over the last 2,000 years we have increasingly felt old sources of identity, such as family, tribe, or social status, as intensely personal, even unique to us. In the last few centuries our inner space has expanded far beyond any possible personal experience. Yet our secret selves can also be a source of terror, with fringes that are often porous, ill-defined, and, possibly, open to frightening forms of external control.

What’s Wrong with Antitheory? Edited by Jeffrey R. Di Leo, University of Houston-Victoria, USA

Klein and Lacan are among the two most important and influential psychoanalytic theorists. Their work has profound implications for how we understand subjectivity, intersubjectivity, autonomy, agency, desire, affect, trauma, history, and the potential for individual and social change. Allen and Ruti offer distinctive interpretations of Klein and Lacan that not only bring out their complexities but also highlight productive points of convergence where most psychoanalytic and critical theorists see irreconcilable differences. The book’s key themes cut across and through the work of Klein and Lacan, culminating in an assessment of the implications of their theories for thinking about politics.

Antitheory has long been a venerable brand of theory and – although seemingly opposite – the two impulses have long been intertwined. What's Wrong with Antitheory? is the first book to explore this vexed relationship from the 20th century to the present day, examining antitheory both in its historical context and current state. The book brings together leading scholars from a wide range of Humanities disciplines to ask such questions as what does it mean to be against theory in the new millennium and what is the current state of post-theory, alleged deaths of theory, and the critique of critique?

L I T E R A R Y S T U D I E S – Modernism

Modernism, Theory and Responsible Reading A Critical Conversation

Edited by Stephen Ross, University of Victoria, Canada Introducing readers to a new theory of 'responsible reading', this book presents a range of perspectives on the contemporary relationship between modernism and theory. Using an innovative format of essay and response, it promotes conversation among disparate views under a shared commitment to 'responsible reading' practices. Touching on areas as diverse as the recent surge in post-critique and/ or affect studies; longer histories of theory, modernism, and critique; new ways of understanding the interplay between modernism and theory, the book draws out links to emerging concerns such as the Anthropocene, the post-human, and eco-theory. Above all, these essays articulate and model a method of “responsible reading”: a practice that reads generously and engages constructively, even where disagreement is inevitable, articulating a mode of ethical reading that is fundamental to ongoing debates about strength and weakness, paranoia and reparation, critique and affect.

The Fictional Minds of Modernism

Narrative Cognition from Henry James to Christopher Isherwood Edited by Ricardo Miguel-Alfonso, University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain Challenging the notion that modernism is marked by an “inward turn,” this collection delineates the relationship between the mind and material and social systems, refreshing our understanding of modernism’s representation of cognitive and affective processes. Through analysis of a variety of international novels, short stories, and films—all published roughly between 1890 and 1945—the contributors to this collection demonstrate how modernist narratives offer insights into the real, historical world not as a mere object of contemplation but as an object of knowledge, thus bridging the gap between classical narratology and modernist experimentation.

Eliot, Karl Mannheim, John Middleton Murry and Michael Polanyi – gathered together to explore ways of revitalising a culture that seemed to have lost its way. The group called themselves ‘The Moot’. Drawing on previously unpublished archival documents, this is the first in-depth study of the group’s work, writings and ideas in the decade of its existence from 1938-1947.

Irish Modernisms

Gaps, Conjectures, Possibilities Edited by Paul Fagan, University of Vienna, Austria, John Greaney, University College Dublin, Ireland & Tamara Radak, University of Vienna, Austria Focusing on previously unexplored lacunae of Irish modernism, this book interrogates neglected figures and genres to develop a more attentive and fluid theoretical space in which to reflect upon the field. Probing Irish modernism’s responsiveness to contemporary theory beyond postcolonial and Irish studies, this book uses diverse paradigms including weak theory, queer theory, gender and canonicity, biopolitics, posthumanism, and the nonhuman turn to rethink Irish modernism’s organizing themes: nationalism, martyrdom, war, state violence, prostitution, temporality, death, mourning.

Historicizing Modernists Approaches to ‘Archivalism’

Edited by Matthew Feldman, University of York, UK, Anna Svendsen & Erik Tonning, University of Bergen, Norway Focussing upon both canonical figures such as Woolf, Eliot, Pound, and Stein and emergent themes such as Christian modernism, intermedial modernism and queer Harlem Renaissance, this volume brings together previously unseen materials, from various archives, to bear upon cutting-edge interpretations of modernism.

Material Spirituality in Modernist Women’s Writing

Elizabeth Anderson, University of Glasgow, UK For Virginia Woolf, H.D., Mary Butts and Gwendolyn Brooks, things mobilise creativity; traverse domestic, public and rural spaces; and stage the interaction between the sublime and the mundane. Ordinary things are rendered extraordinary by their spiritual or emotional significance. This book addresses the intersection of spirituality, things and places – both natural and built environments – in the work of these four women modernists.

Virginia Woolf and the Ethics of Intimacy Elsa Högberg, University of Uppsala, Sweden

Virginia Woolf and the Ethics of Intimacy explores the politics and ethics of Woolf's psychologically intimate literary method. The book reveals how the notions of intimacy central to Woolf's interwar novels - Jacob's Room, Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and The Waves - inform her political and ethical stances against violence, patriotism and war. Drawing on contemporary theory, including the works of Judith Butler, Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva, Elsa Högberg casts new light on the politics of modernism's aesthetic commitments.

Woolf, Delany, and Coetzee at the Limits of Fiction

What is the role of the author in times of crisis? Modernist Crisis and the Pedagogy of Form examines how Virginia Woolf, Samuel R. Delany, and J. M. Coetzee developed literary strategies in common to cope with crisis periods they were anticipating, living through, or looking back on. Matthew Cheney outlines how the three writers shaped their art to create an author/ audience relationship congruent with the goals of critical pedagogy espoused by such thinkers as Paulo Freire and bell hooks. Seeking to stimulate ethical thought, Woolf, Delany, and Coetzee required their readers to be active interpreters of their texts’ forms, contents, and contexts.

Unfit: Jewish Degeneration and Modernism Marilyn Reizbaum, Bowdoin College, USA

An obsession with “degeneration” was a central neurosis of early 20th-century modernist culture. Unﬁt: Jewish Degeneration and Modernism is the first in-depth study of the Jewish cultural roots of “degeneration theory”, its key exponents such as Cesare Lombroso, Max Nordau and Magnus Hirschfeld and its legacies for modern culture. Marilyn Reizbaum explores how literary works from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, through James Joyce’s Ulysses to Pat Barker’s Regeneration trilogy, the crime movies of Mervyn LeRoy and the photography of Claude Cahun and Adi Nes engage with ideas of degeneration across the arts of the 20th century.

Modernist Work

Labor, Aesthetics, and the Work of Art Edited by John Attridge, University of New South Wales, Australia & Helen Rydstrand, University of New South Wales, Australia Modernist Work studies Richard Strauss, Joseph Conrad, Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka and Gertrude Stein but also addresses contexts that are chronologically and geographically foreign to the main stream of modernist studies, such as Swedish proletarian writing, Haitian nationalism and South African inheritors of Dada. Prominent historical themes include the ideas of class, revolution and the changing nature of women's work, while more conceptual chapters explore topics including autonomy, inheritance, intention, failure and intimacy. Modernist Work demonstrates the central relevance of the concept of “work” to a diverse selection of writers and artists and opening up pathways for future research.

Theodor Fontane

Irony and Avowal in a Post-Truth Age Brian Tucker, Wabash College, USA Contemporary alarm over unreliability, falsehood, and indifference to truth has made it easier to perceive in Fontane’s novels a profound concern about language that is not sincere and not meant to be taken literally. For Fontane, irony exemplifies a discrepancy between language and meaning, a loosening of the ethical bond between words and the things to which they refer. Tucker’s analyses reveal a critical distance between his works and the prospect of irony as a dominant idiom. Revisiting Fontane’s novels in a post-truth age brings the conflict between irony and avowal into sharper relief and makes legible the stakes and contours of our own post-truth condition.

Gender, Collaboration, and Authorship in German Culture Literary Joint Ventures, 1750-1850

Edited by John B. Lyon, University of Pittsburgh, USA & Laura Deiulio, Christopher Newport University Gender, Collaboration, and Authorship in German Culture challenges a model of literary production that persists in literary studies: the so-called Geniekult or the idea of the solitary male author as genius that emerged around 1800 in German lands. A closer look at creative practices during this time indicates that collaborative creative endeavors, specifically joint ventures between women and men, were an important mode of literary production during this era. This volume surveys a variety of such collaborations and proves that male and female spheres of creation were not as distinct as has been previously thought.

Kafka’s Stereoscopes

The Fontane Workshop

Isak Winkel Holm, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

Petra S. McGillen, Dartmouth College, USA

The Political Function of a Literary Style

In 1911, Franz Kafka encountered the Kaiser Panorama: a stereoscopic peep show offering an illusion of three-dimensional depth. After the experience, he began to emulate the apparatus in his literary sketches, developing a style we might call "stereoscopic," juxtaposing, like the optical stereoscope, two images of the same object seen from slightly different perspectives. Isak Winkel Holm argues that Kafka’s stereoscopic style is crucial to an understanding of the relation between literature and politics in Kafka's work. Kafka’s Stereoscopes offers a detailed but highly readable argument for the relevance of Kafka's literary works in today’s political reality.

Understanding Flusser, Understanding Modernism

Manufacturing Realism in the Industrial Age of Print Combining material media history, media theory, and literary poetics, this book reconstructs the great German writer Theodor Fontane's creative process. Analyzing a wealth of unexplored archival evidence—including a collection of the author's 67 extant notebooks and an array of other "paper tools,"—McGillen demonstrates how Fontane compiled his realist prose works. That is, he assembled them from premediated sources, literally with scissors and glue, in an extraordinarily inorganic and radically intertextual manner that turned "writing" into an ongoing remix. This book opens up a completely new way to think about Fontane’s works and, by extension, 19thcentury literary realism.

Persian Literature as World Literature

Edited by Mostafa Abedinifard, University of British Columbia, Canada, Omid Azadibougar, Hunan Normal University, China & Amirhossein Vafa, Shiraz University, Iran Confronting nationalistic and nativist interpretations in Persianate literary scholarship, this volume makes a case for reading these literatures as world literature—as transnational texts that expand beyond local and national penchants. Working through an idea of world literature that is both cosmopolitan and critical of any monologic view on globalization, contributors revisit the early and contemporary circulation of Persianate literatures across neighboring and distant cultures, and seek to engage in constructive dialogues with the global forces surrounding, and shaping, Persianate societies and cultures.

Literature and Film from East Europe’s Forgotten "Second World" Essays of Invitation

Gordana P. Crnkovic, University of Washington, USA Eastern Europe of the socialist era may seem distant and unreal, almost mythical, with some of its countries— Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia—no longer on the map. This largely forgotten “Second World” may appear no more than a historical oddity. The masterpieces of literature and cinema of this era, as well as by the authors formed in it and working in its aftermath, however, surprise with their contemporary resonance and relevance, their distinctiveness and freshness. In lively and jargon free prose, Gordana P. Crnkovic creates a path to a number of these works and shows how they changed lives.

Antonin Artaud and the Healing Practices of Language How Life Matters in Artaud’s Later Writings

Joeri Visser, Helinium School, Rotterdam, Netherlands The life of Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) was tormented by physical and mental illnesses. In his earlier writings, Artaud tried to express his physical and mental suffering, but perceived, in describing his feelings, the obstructive and illnessinducing role of language. In the first English-language book on Artaud’s “healing language,” Joeri Visser guides us through the years in which Artaud suffered more and more from mental instability and considered the act of writing his only means of survival. In doing so, Visser unfolds a literary and a philosophical analysis on language and life, joy and anguish.

Afropolitan Literature as World Literature Edited by James Hodapp, Northwestern University, Qatar

What is the new, Afropolitan vision of Africa’s place in the world offered by African writers of the 21st century? How does it differ from that of previous generations? Why do some dissent? Afropolitanism refuses to reinforce images of Africa in world media as merely poor, war-torn, diseased, and constantly falling into chaos. Complicating the image of Africa as a hapless victim, Afropolitanism focuses on the wide-ranging influence Africa has on the world. However, some have characterized this kind of writing as light, populist fare that panders to Western audiences. Afropolitan Literature as World Literature examines this controversy in light of the unprecedented circulation of culture made possible by globalization.

Cloneliness

On the Reproduction of Loneliness Michael O'Sullivan, Chinese University of Hong Kong Recent posthuman philosophies, humancomputer interface studies, and technologyinspired biopolitical discourses and practices are reinventing and reimagining loneliness in different communities. Newer forms of loneliness, pushed by the algorithms of biopolitical capitalism, result in what this books calls "cloneliness." Michael O'Sullivan plots the transformation in loneliness in literature and philosophy in readings that take us from Henry James and such classic works as Frank O’Connor’s The Lonely Voice and Richard Yates’s Eleven Kinds of Loneliness to more recent expressions in such writers as David Foster Wallace, Yiyun Li, and Sayaka Murata.

Dispersion

Thoreau and Vegetal Thought Edited by Branka Arsic, Columbia University, USA Plants are silent, still, or move slowly; we do not have the sense that they accompany us, or even perceive us. But is there something that plants are telling us? Is there something about how they live and connect, how they relate to the world and other plants that can teach us about ecological thinking, about ethics and politics? Grounded in Thoreau’s ecology and in contemporary plant studies, Thoreau and Vegetal Thought offers answers to those questions by pondering such concepts as co-dependence, the continuity of life forms, relationality, cohabitation, porousness, fragility, the openness of beings to incessant modification by other beings and phenomena, patience, waiting, slowness and receptivity.

Illegibility

Blanchot and Hegel William S. Allen, University of Southampton, UK

Habermas and Literature

The Public Sphere and the Social Imaginary Geoff Boucher, Deakin University, Australia

The philosophical significance of Maurice Blanchot’s writings has rarely been in doubt. Specifying the nature and implications of his thinking has proved more difficult, particularly in reference to the key figure of G. W. F. Hegel. William S. Allen demonstrates aspects of Hegelian thought that permeate Blanchot’s writings and, in turn, develops a detailed 3-way analysis of Derrida, Hegel, and Blanchot and the relationships between thought and language concerning finitude and infinitude. Illegibility introduces a new, substantially philosophical account of Blanchot’s importance, situating Derrida within a history of discussions of Hegel and enabling a more critical response to Hegel’s works.

Although Habermas has written about the cultural role of literature and about literary works, he has not systematically articulated a literary-critical method as a component of either communicative reason or post-metaphysical thinking. Habermas and Literature brings Habermasian concepts and categories into contact with aesthetic and cultural theories in and around the Frankfurt School, and beyond. Its central claim is that Habermas’ contribution to literary and cultural criticism is the concept of literary rationality and the notion that literature performs a key role in the formation of the modern social imaginary.

Sebastian Mitchell, University of Birmingham, UK Utopia and its Discontents traces literary representations of ideal communities from Plato to the 21st century. Each chapter offers close readings of key utopian and anti-utopian texts to demonstrate how they construct, challenge and explore the ideas and forms of earlier utopian writings and the social and political ideals of their own historical times. The book explores how literary utopias are often as much about the past as they are about the present and the future.

The Power of the Sun in Literature, Science and Culture Identifying the history of capturing solar radiance as a focal point between science and the imagination, Imagining Solar Energy argues that the literary, artistic and mythical resonances of solar power – from the Renaissance to the present day – have inspired, cultivated and sustained its scientific and technological development.

In readings of his exploration of empathy and the ethics of reading the posthuman, post-WWII politics and anti-Americanism, the deconstruction of the possibility of ‘history’, and the Kafka-esque psychogeographies of his fictional spaces, Peter Sloane places Ishiguro in the context of a late modernist aesthetic, one that is informed by the intervening rise and fall of the postmodern.

Queer Angels in Post-1945 American Literature and Culture Bad Beatitudes

David Deutsch, University of Alabama, USA From Allen Ginsberg’s “angel-headed hipsters” to angelic outlaws in Tony Kushner’s Angels in America, angelic imagery has been pervasive in queer American art and culture.

This book looks at how American authors across diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds, including John Rechy, Richard Bruce Nugent, Allen Ginsberg, and Rabih Alameddine, sought to find the sacred in the profane and the profane in the sacred.

Why do contemporary writers use myths from ancient Greece and Rome, Pharaonic Egypt, the Viking north, Africa’s west coast, and Hebrew and Christian traditions? What do these stories from premodern cultures have to offer us? The Metamorphoses of Myth in Fiction since 1960 examines how myth has shaped writings by Acker, Atwood, Burroughs, Byatt, Gaiman, Hoban, Mailer, Morrison, Reed, Powers, Pynchon, Vonnegut, and Winterson, among others, and contrasts such canonical texts with fantasy, speculative fiction, post-singularity fiction, pornography, horror, and graphic narratives. Working across genres, populations, and critical perspectives, Kathryn Hume elicits an understanding of the current uses of mythology in fiction.

Framing Literary Humour

Cells, Masks and Bodies as 20th-Century Sites of Imprisonment Jeanne Mathieu-Lessard, University of Ottawa, Canada Contrary to their oppressive design, could structures of imprisonment actually incite humour, itself a form of liberation? Starting with the most obvious areas of imprisonment (war camps, prison cells) and moving to the less obvious (masks, bodies), Framing Literary Humour demonstrates how 20th-century humour in theory and in fiction cannot be fully understood without a careful look at its connection with the notion of imprisonment. Understanding imprisonment as a concrete spatial setting or a metaphorical image, Jeanne MathieuLessard analyzes selected works of Romain Gary, Giovannino Guareschi, Wyndham Lewis, Vladimir Nabokov, and Luigi Pirandello to reconfigure confinement as an essential structural condition for the emergence of humour.

This book recuperates the thriving, humanistic vision of the Golden Age celebrated by Spanish progressive thinkers, writers, and artists in the decades prior to 1939 and the Francoist Regime. The life and literary opus of Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616) acquires new significance when exploring the complex understanding of this moment of modernity, given his influence on the poetic and political endeavors of Spanish left-wing reformists.

The Disabled Detective

Sleuthing Disability in Contemporary Crime Fiction Susannah B. Mintz, Skidmore College, USA

Tears, Liquids and Porous Bodies in Literature Across the Ages Niobe’s Siblings Norbert Lennartz Focusing on the precarious relationship between porosity and its opposite - closure, containment and stoniness - this book argues that Romeo’s, Pamela’s or Harley’s tears are neither British nor Italian excretions, but markers that indicate the extent to which different societies and epochs respond to and tolerate bodily porosity. From this new angle, literary history turns out to be a meandering narrative in which ‘female’ porosity and ‘manly’ stoniness clash, in which their relationship is constantly re-negotiated and in which effusive and 'feminine' genres (letters, poetic effusions, streams of consciousness) are pitted against stony and astringent forms of masculinity (epitaphs, sonnets, stanzas etymologically seen as architectural rooms). Taking in works from writers as diverse as Aphra Behn, William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Charlotte Bronte, John Keats, TS Eliot and DH Lawrence, this book spans approximately 300 years and unpacks how bodily liquidity, porosity and petrification recur as a pattern and underlie the chequered history of the body and genders.

The bestselling genre of Frankenfiction sees classic literature turned into commercial narratives invaded by zombies, vampires, werewolves, and other fantastical monsters. This book explores the boundaries and connections between contemporary remix and related modes – including adaptation, parody, the Gothic, Romanticism, and postmodernism. Taking a multimedia approach, case studies range from novels such as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies; television series like Penny Dreadful; and the visual arts in the prints of Travis Louie.

L I T E R A R Y S T U D I E S – Poetry / Translation Studies

Early Larkin

James Underwood Beginning in the late 1930s, this is the first booklength critical study of Larkin’s early work: his poetry, novels, short fictions, essays, and letters, tells the story of Philip Larkin’s early literary development, starting with Larkin’s earliest literary efforts and his remarkable correspondence with Jim Sutton, and ending at the point Larkin’s maturity begins, with the writing of his first great poems. In providing a comprehensive and systematic study of this part of Larkin's life, this book also presents a new and surprising narrative of Larkin’s development. Critics have presented Larkin’s early career as a false start which he overcame by swapping Yeats’s influence for Hardy’s. Having re-discovered Hardy’s poetry in 1946, the story goes, Larkin realised the potential of writing about his own life, and disavowed Yeats. Central to this book’s controversial counter-narrative is an insistence on the significance of Brunette Coleman, the female heteronym Larkin invented in 1943. Three years before his re-discovery of Hardy, Larkin wrote a strange and unique series of works for schoolgirls under Coleman’s name. These writings not only led him away from Yeats and other hindering influences, but also away from himself. Whereas the Yeats-to-Hardy narrative emphasises the autobiographical qualities of Larkin’s mature verse, Early Larkin proposes that the writer’s breakthrough was a result of his burgeoning ‘interest in everything outside himself’ – itself the consequence of his curious experiment with Brunette Coleman.

Poetry's Knowing Ignorance

Joseph Acquisto, University of Vermont, USA What kind of knowledge, if any, does poetry provide? Poets make poems, but they also make meaning and craft a learned and creative ignorance as they provide infinitely revisable answers to the question of what poetry is. To resist concluding is to embrace a productive ignorance, a knowledge that is aware of poetic knowledge’s own limits. Poetry's Knowing Ignorance shows, through an examination of French poetry, how it is this dialogue in response to a constant questioning, to an answerturned-question, that continues to blur the boundary between poetry and writing about poetry, criticism, and other kinds of experience.

Hunger, Poetry and the Oxford Movement The Tractarian Social Vision

Lesa Scholl, University of Adelaide, Australia Focusing on the influence of the Oxford Movement on key British poets of the nineteenth-century, this book charts their ruminations on the nature of hunger, poverty and economic injustice. Exploring the works of Christina Rossetti, Coventry Patmore, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Adelaide Anne Procter, Alice Meynell and Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Lesa Scholl examines the extent to which these poets – not all of whom were Anglo-Catholics themselves – engaged with the Tractarian social vision when grappling with issues of poverty and economic injustice in and beyond their poetic works.

This is a Classic

Translators on Making Writers Global Edited by Regina Galasso, University of Massachusetts, Amherst This is a Classic is an exploration of what it means to translate an established or future literary classic and how it is done by some of today’s most celebrated translators. This is a Classic brings together translators who have created English versions of canonical works from a variety of languages, including Spanish, French, Yiddish, Turkish, Catalan, Greek, Serbian, German, Italian, Icelandic, Russian, Romanian, Portuguese, and Ancient Greek. They offer insights into their processes, challenges, and craft, providing readers with an appreciation of how a classic is shaped by translation, and how translation is essential for a classic’s survival and the creation of original literary works.

Hindi Dalit Literature in the United Provinces

Swami Acchutanand and Chandrika Prasad Jigyasu, 1900-1930 Tapan Basu, University of Delhi, India This volume focuses upon the growth of a Hindi Dalit literary culture at its formative stage in the 1920s and the 1930s, and the significant role played by Swami Acchutanand and Chandrikaprasad Jigyasu. It introduces the Dalit public sphere in the United Provinces in the early decades of the 20th century. The book rescues Swami Acchutanand and Chandrikaprasad Jigyasu from undeserved obscurity and accords to them the importance that they merit in any chronicle of the Dalit cultural movement in North India.
