Identifying the key challenges involved in representing conflict, she deploys close rhetorical analysis to illuminate how writers have responded to them. The volume will be indispensable to scholars and students interested in war representation. ‘Its scope is astonishing: McLoughlin writes authoritatively about Homer and Heller, Virgil and Vonnegut.

The Cambridge Handbook of Stylistics Edited by Peter Stockwell University of Nottingham

and Sara Whiteley University of Sheffield

Stylistics has become the most common name for a discipline which at various times has been termed ‘literary linguistics’, ‘rhetoric’, ‘poetics’, ‘literary philology’ and ‘close textual reading’. This Handbook is the definitive account of the field, drawing on linguistics and related subject areas such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, educational pedagogy, computational methods, literary criticism and critical theory. Placing stylistics in its intellectual and international context, each chapter includes a detailed illustrative example and case study of stylistic practice, with arguments and methods open to examination, replication and constructive critical discussion. As an accessible guide to the theory and practice of stylistics, it will equip the reader with a clear understanding of the ethos and principles of the discipline, as well as with the capacity and confidence to engage in stylistic analysis. ‘Students and scholars of linguistics and literature, who are interested in the past, the present and the future of stylistics, will find this Handbook an invaluable resource.

Extensively revised for the second edition, this Reader includes a new extract from Beowulf as well as a new Beginning Old English section for newcomers to the Old English language, strengthening student support. Extensive notes, annotation and glossing make this an accessible and scholarly introduction to Old English. Review of previous edition: ‘… offering a bountiful assortment of diverse texts thoughtfully edited for basic students of Old English. The book seems to arise from a long and dedicated engagement with Old English pedagogy, and its sheer diversity and breadth of scope makes it likely that almost any teacher of Old English will find something in it of value … The rich banquet found in the Cambridge [Old English] Reader would not easily be exhausted in a semester, or even a year-long course in Old English; it is sure to inspire in both students and teachers alike a fresh dedication to the work of understanding Anglo-Saxon England.’ R.

How was medieval English theatre performed? This book analyses dormant evidence of theatrical processes such as casting, doubling of parts, rehearsing, memorising, cueing, entering, exiting, playing, prompting, timing, hearing, seeing and responding. All these concerns point to a very different kind of theatre to the naturalistic theatre produced today. 2014 228 x 152 mm 283pp 10 b/w illus. 978-1-107-01548-7 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

The Cambridge History of British Theatre Edited by Jane Milling Peter Thomson Joseph Donohue University of Massachusetts, Amherst

and Baz Kershaw

This three-volume set explores the rich and complex histories of English, Scottish and Welsh theatres from early Britain to the present. Volume 1 begins in Roman Britain and ends with Charles II’s restoration to the throne imminent. Volume 2 begins in 1660 with the restoration of King Charles II to the throne and the re-establishment of the professional theatre, interdicted since 1642, and follows the far-reaching development of the form over two centuries and more to 1895. Volume 3 explores the rich and complex histories

of English, Scottish and Welsh theatres in the ‘long’ twentieth century since 1895. Original essays written by leading British and American historians and critics investigate the major aspects of theatrical performance, combining an interest in the written drama with an understanding of the material conditions of the evolving professional theatre that the drama helped to sustain. ‘… a set that will stand as the most valuable resource on British theater for some time to come. Essential.’ Choice

during and after the reigns of James I and Charles I. The essays are written for the general reader by leading British and American scholars, who combine an interest in the written drama with an understanding of the material conditions of the evolving professional theatre which the drama helped to sustain, often enough against formidable odds. The volume unfolds a story of enterprise, innovation and, sometimes, of desperate survival over years in which theatre and drama were necessarily embroiled in the politics of everyday life: a vivid subject vividly presented.

Chapters on two representative years, 1776 and 1895, are complemented by chapters on two phenomenal productions, The Beggar’s Opera and The Bells, as well as by studies of popular theatre, including music hall, sexuality

The Cambridge History of British Theatre Volume 3: Since 1895 Edited by Baz Kershaw University of Bristol

This volume explores the rich and complex histories of English, Scottish and Welsh theatres in the ‘long’ twentieth century since 1895. Twentythree original essays by leading historians and critics investigate the major aspects of theatrical performance, ranging from the great actor-managers to humble seaside entertainers, from between-wars West End women playwrights to the roots of professional theatre in Wales and Scotland, and from the challenges of alternative theatres to the economics of theatre under Thatcher. Detailed surveys of key theatre practices and traditions across this whole period are combined with case studies of influential productions, critical years placed in historical perspective and evaluations of theatre at the turn of the millennium. The collection presents an exciting evolution in the scholarly study of modern British theatre history, skilfully demonstrating how performance variously became a critical litmus test of the great aesthetic, cultural, social,

Paratexts in English Printed Drama to 1642 Edited by Thomas L. Berger St Lawrence University, New York

and Sonia Massai King’s College London

The paratexts in early modern English playbooks – the materials to be found primarily in their preliminary pages and end matter – provide a rich source of information for scholars interested in Shakespeare, Renaissance drama and the history of the book. In addition, these materials offer valuable insights into the rise of dramatic authorship in print, early modern attitudes towards theatre, notorious literary wrangles and the production of drama both on the stage and in the printing house. This unique two-volume reference is the first to include all paratextual materials in early modern English playbooks, from the emergence of print drama to the closure of the theatres in 1642. The texts have been transcribed from their original versions and presented in old-spelling. With an introduction, user’s guide, multiple indices and a finding list, the editors provide a comprehensive overview of seminal texts which have never before been fully transcribed, annotated and cross-referenced. 2014 246 x 189 mm 1024pp 3 b/w illus. 978-0-521-85184-8 2 Volume Set £150.00 / US$250.00 For all formats available, see

The Ambassadors Henry James Edited by Nicola Bradbury University of Reading

The Cambridge Edition of the Complete Fiction of Henry James provides, for the first time, a scholarly edition of a major writer whose work continues to be read, quoted, adapted and studied. One of Henry James’ last three great novels, The Ambassadors offers a witty, observant and profound exploration of the contrast between American and European cultures and of the desire to ‘live all you can’. It follows the journey of self-discovery taken by a middle-aged literary gentleman, Lambert Strether, as he sheds his New England perspective and comes to appreciate cosmopolitan society and values, although not without personal cost. This edition, based on the work’s first book appearance (Methuen, 1903), illuminates its literary and cultural contexts, contains comprehensive annotation, and provides a detailed textual history. It will appeal to James scholars, book historians and students of early twentieth-century Anglo-American literature and culture, and re-introduce readers to this masterpiece.

Quetzalcoatl D. H. Lawrence Edited by N. H. Reeve Swansea University

Quetzalcoatl was written during Lawrence’s first stay in Mexico, in May and June 1923, and registers his initial responses to those aspects of Mexican landscape, religion, politics and culture which would fascinate him over the following two years. On leaving Mexico in July 1923, he described Quetzalcoatl as ‘nearly finished’, intending to revise it later, but in the event actually rewrote it almost completely, and it was published as The Plumed Serpent in 1926. This is the first scholarly edition of the original manuscripts and typescripts of Quetzalcoatl, and includes a record of all revisions Lawrence made in the course of writing it, detailed explanatory notes and an introduction outlining its compositional history. With the publication of this volume, all Lawrence’s novels, in their first,

Late Essays and Articles D. H. Lawrence Edited by James T. Boulton University of Birmingham

In his last years D. H. Lawrence often wrote for newspapers; he needed the money, and clearly enjoyed the work. He also wrote several substantial essays during the same period. This meticulously-edited collection brings together major essays such as Pornography and Obscenity and Lawrence’s spirited Introduction to the volume of his Paintings; a group of autobiographical pieces, two of which are published here for the first time; and the articles Lawrence wrote at the invitation of newspaper and magazine editors. There are thirty-nine items in total, thirty-five of them deriving from original manuscripts; all were written between 1926 and Lawrence’s death in March 1930. They are ordered chronologically according to the date of composition; each is preceded by an account of the circumstances in which it came to be published. The volume is introduced by a substantial survey of Lawrence’s career as a writer responding directly to public interests and concerns. The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D. H. Lawrence

University of Wales, Swansea

This volume collects together the introductions and reviews for which D. H. Lawrence was responsible over the whole duration of his writing career, from 1911 to 1930: it includes the book review which was the last thing he ever wrote, in the Ad Astra Sanatorium in Vence. The forty-nine separate items include some of his most compelling literary productions: for example, the fascinating Memoir of Maurice Magnus of 1921–2, his only extended piece of biographical writing. The volume’s Introduction not only outlines the literary contacts of Lawrence’s career which led him to doing such work, but gives a fresh account of the life of a literary professional who regularly wrote in support of work in which he personally believed, and who also (rather surprisingly) wrote reviews of nearly thirty books. All the texts, including a number previously unpublished in Britain, have been edited and are supplied with extensive explanatory notes. ‘… stands as a scholarly and handsome companion to Cambridge’s Late Essays and Articles …’ The Use of English The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D.

Washington State University

This book is a critical edition of D. H. Lawrence’s complete essays about Mexican and Southwestern Indians, both those published in 1927 as Mornings in Mexico, and the other essays Lawrence wrote about them during his American years. The number of essays, therefore, is more than double that of all previous editions. The early version of ‘Pan in America’ appears here for the first time,

as do previously unpublished passages in other essays. The texts are informed by all extant manuscripts, typescripts, and early publications, with a full textual apparatus revealing Lawrence’s revisions. The volume includes extensive notes and appendices with information on Mesoamerican mythology and history. Lawrence’s interest in and real affection for the region and its peoples went beyond the travel writing genre and these essays hold significance not only for those interested in Lawrence but also in the wider context of the cultures of Mexico and the Southwest. ‘This is a magnificent book! The collection of essays covers almost all that Lawrence was thinking about the importance of the American world between 1922 and 1928. … For all Lawrence readers this is a volume to get, to dip into time and again for a refreshing voice of complete individual seriousness.’ The Use of English The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D.

Paul Morel D. H. Lawrence Edited by Helen Baron University of Hull

This is the first ever edition of the early version of Sons and Lovers, D. H. Lawrence’s highly popular autobiographical novel. Amongst all the surviving early drafts of Lawrence’s works this is the most different from the final version; as he rewrote, Lawrence discarded many episodes, some of them stories from his childhood not recorded anywhere else. It is less polished than Sons and Lovers, but it is full of powerful, spontaneous, dramatic writing: there is more humour and charm, more raw violence and nervous energy. This volume also contains remarkable documents written by Lawrence’s girlfriend Jessie Chambers, the model for Miriam in Paul Morel and in Sons and Lovers, in which she gives Lawrence some hostile criticisms and writes out for him her own versions of some of his episodes. In addition there is a fragment of a novel about his mother’s childhood,

‘Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious’ and ‘Fantasia of the Unconscious’ D. H. Lawrence Edited by Bruce Steele Monash University, Victoria

Written in D. H. Lawrence’s most productive period, ‘Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious’ (1921) and ‘Fantasia of the Unconscious’ (1922) were undertaken initially in response to psychoanalytic criticism of his novel Sons and Lovers. They soon developed more generally to propose an alternative to what Lawrence perceived as the Freudian psychoanalytic theory of the unconscious and the incest motive. The essays also develop his ideas about the upbringing and education of children, about marriage, and about social and even political action. Lawrence described them as ‘this pseudo-philosophy of mine which was deduced from the novels and poems, not the reverse. The absolute need one has for some sort of satisfactory mental attitude towards oneself and things in general makes one try to abstract some definite conclusions from one’s experiences as a writer and as a man’. These conclusions form an illuminating guide to his works and therein lies their peculiar value. The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D. H. Lawrence

D. H. Lawrence’s best-known late fictions are presented in this volume, which is dominated by two powerful novellas, The Virgin and the Gipsy and The Escaped Cock (also known as The Man Who Died). In the first, a young woman from a restrictive English rectory discovers further dimensions to life through her contact with a gipsy; in the second, an unnamed man – in fact Lawrence’s vision of Christ – is resurrected and escapes from his tomb. Both novellas deal with the themes of escape and sexual awakening, which are echoed in the four short stories and three fragments also collected here. This edition restores Lawrence’s final texts, before the changes introduced by censorship, mistakes in transmission and various other forms of interference, with variants recorded. The introduction traces the history of the stories, while the notes offer help with allusions, contexts and other points of potential difficulty or interest.

Taps at Reveille

All The Sad Young Men

The Lost Decade

F. Scott Fitzgerald Edited by James L. W. West, III

Pennsylvania State University

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Taps at Reveille is one of the author’s strongest collections of short fiction. It brings together several of his best stories from the late 1920s and early 1930s, including ‘Crazy Sunday’, and ‘Babylon Revisited’, a story considered by many to be his masterpiece in the genre. Fitzgerald assembled the collection in a time of debt and personal difficulty, working with texts that had, in many cases, been censored by the Saturday Evening Post and other magazines. Using evidence from the drafts that bear Fitzgerald’s final revisions, this edition presents for the first time restored texts of the stories, with censored material reinstated and sexual innuendo as Fitzgerald originally intended. This volume offers as well an extended historical introduction, explanatory notes, textual apparatus, and, in an appendix, ‘Thank You for the Light’, a vignette recently discovered among Fitzgerald’s literary remains and published for the first time in 2012.

An edition of twenty Fitzgerald short stories based on surviving manuscripts and typescripts.

Shakespeare and the Visual Imagination Stuart Sillars

Lord Rochester in the Restoration World Edited by Matthew C. Augustine University of St Andrews, Scotland

Universitetet i Bergen, Norway

and Steven N. Zwicker

This book is a fully illustrated study of Shakespeare’s knowledge of visual art, its theories and contemporary debates, and their importance in his plays and poems. It will be of value for upper-level students and academic researchers of Shakespeare, as well as readers interested in early modern theatre, literature and art history.

This collection of interdisciplinary essays by a team of international scholars focuses new attention on Lord Rochester’s writings; on their political force and social identity, on the worlds from which they emerged and which they disclose, and not least on their unsettling aesthetic power.

Advance praise: ‘Sillars’ concern is with the concept of visual art as much as it is with art objects themselves. The argument that the theatre itself has a specific visual identity and that Shakespeare uses visual ideas to explore that identity is an especially fresh approach and one that works to complicate the depictions of art objects in the plays. This is a remarkable and important book and one that demonstrates compendious knowledge of both the literary and visual traditions and casts a genuinely new light on Shakespeare’s works.’ Dympna C.

Grief and Women Writers in the English Renaissance Elizabeth Hodgson University of British Columbia, Vancouver

Grief and Women Writers in the English Renaissance anatomizes the era’s powerful but troubling links between the forgettable dead and the living mourners who are implicated in the same oblivion. Elizabeth Hodgson examines four major women writers from 1570 to 1670 whose writings construct these difficult bonds between the spectral dead and the liminal mourner.

English literature – Renaissance and early modern to 1700 Tales from Shakespeare

Shakespeare Performance Studies

Creative Collisions Graham Holderness

W. B. Worthen

University of Hertfordshire

Considering three well-known recent performances of Shakespeare at length, Worthen suggests how they provide a commentary on important areas of concern in the humanities, and what Shakespeare performance tells us about contemporary Shakespeare. This book is of interest to scholars and advanced students of Shakespeare, and of performance studies.

Tales from Shakespeare takes an innovative and engaging look at Shakespeare through a fusion of creative and critical writing. Using four specific examples, Holderness explores the ‘collisions’ between Shakespeare and contemporary concerns. This book is of vital interest to students, scholars and enthusiasts of Shakespeare, literary criticism and creative writing. ‘Graham Holderness, who was given Lamb’s Tales from Shakespeare as a child, here returns the compliment by writing tales for grown ups – and again shows that he is one of the few academics who can combine scholarship with creativity, criticism with fantasy, historical awareness with commitment to present-day issues. Anyone who thought that there was nothing further to say about the authenticity of the account of shipboard performances of two Shakespeare plays off the coast of Sierra Leone in 1607, or the likelihood of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson collaborating on the King James Bible, will be surprised at what Holderness does with the two controversies.’ Lois Potter, University of Delaware 2014 216 x 140 mm 257pp 978-1-107-07129-2 Hardback £25.00 / US$44.99 For all formats available, see

Clowning and Authorship in Early Modern Theatre

‘Shakespeare’s Possible Worlds establishes Simon Palfrey as one of the great Shakespeare scholars of our age. On every page, Palfrey marshals his command of Renaissance theatrical technique and Baroque philosophy in order to float inventive readings that demonstrate the plenitude and plasticity of Shakespeare’s dramatic imagining. Crafting both a philosophy of close reading and a dramaturgy of metaphor, Palfrey discovers a hermeneutics indigenous to theater. As Palfrey summons us to witness Shakespeare knitting shapes from the deep, we rediscover ourselves in the concatenation of worlds that drama assembles.’

Poetics of Character Transatlantic Encounters 1700–1900 Susan Manning University of Edinburgh

This comprehensive study of literary character in a comparative context presents a new approach to transatlantic literary history. Rereading transatlantic Romanticism across two centuries through close textual comparisons across national, generic and chronological boundaries, it offers exciting possibilities for rediscovering how literature engages readers with the reality of character. ‘Poetics of Character is a true masterpiece in Manning’s areas of specialization – the literature and philosophy of the Scottish Enlightenment, Romanticism, transatlanticism – and, if I may be allowed the type of language that [James] Chandler employs, it displays Manning’s thinking at its most agile and acute. A gift to multiple fields and the capstone of an impressive and influential career, [it] opens multiple new channels of thought for eighteenth- and nineteenth-century transatlantic criticism, a fitting legacy for a scholar already seen as a trailblazer in the field.’ Matthew Wickman, Review of English Studies Cambridge Studies in Romanticism, 102

This volume contains his correspondences, many published for the first time, with three very different young women, all seeking to find their voice within family and society while corresponding with a celebrated author and moralist. Sarah Wescomb and Frances Grainger, two young, unmarried correspondents, sought paternal advice from the middle-aged author and in the process contested stances taken in his novels. Laetitia Pilkington, an accused adulteress, offers poignant glimpses into an impoverished woman’s struggles to survive in Grub Street. The scholarly apparatus in this volume provides ample information about these three women’s lives and their milieu, giving fascinating insights into eighteenth-century English social and literary history.

Correspondence Primarily on Sir Charles Grandison (1750–1754) Samuel Richardson Edited by Betty A. Schellenberg Simon Fraser University, British Columbia

Samuel Richardson (1689–1761) was a highly regarded printer and influential novelist when he produced his final work of fiction, The History of Sir Charles Grandison (1753). Like his other novels, it was written in epistolary form, reflecting his lifelong interest in letter writing and the letter as a genre. Covering the period 1750–1754, many of these fully annotated letters are published from manuscript for the first time, or have been restored to their complete original form. Recording Richardson’s relationships with leading cultural figures including Samuel Johnson, Colley Cibber and Elizabeth Carter, the volume reveals his support for other authors while struggling to complete his own ‘story of a Good Man’. This publishing saga also incorporates Richardson’s responses to the Irish piracy of his novel, and his exchanges with anonymous fans, including those who attacked the novel’s tolerance for Catholicism and those who pleaded for a sequel.

In Search of the New Woman

The Birth of the Industrial-Age Author Robert L. Patten

Middle Class Women and Work in Britain, 1870–1914 Gillian Sutherland University of Cambridge

The ‘New Women’ of late nineteenthcentury Britain were seen as defying conventions. Studying this phenomenon from its origins in the 1870s to the outbreak of the Great War, Gillian Sutherland examines whether women really had the economic freedom to challenge social norms relating to work, political action, love and marriage. Advance praise: ‘Gillian Sutherland looks beyond the much-discussed, much-caricatured New Woman of the 1890s – dashing, daring, and scandalously experimental – to the real women of the period, and turns up the truth that most female agents of change then were clerks and especially schoolteachers. Both cultural historians and general readers will be fascinated by the stories told here, and persuaded that the media hype of periods long before our own should also be viewed with skepticism.’ Rachel M.

Atonement and Self-Sacrifice in NineteenthCentury Narrative Jan-Melissa Schramm University of Cambridge

This book explores the role of sacrifice in the Victorian novel and how the idea of self-abnegation was placed under pressure by increasing industrialisation and democratisation. Work by Dickens, Gaskell, Eliot and others registers the tensions caused by evolving attitudes at a time of legal and theological change. ‘Schramm’s work is a significant work for Victorian scholars and all who wish to understand more clearly the political, legal and theological ferment of the nineteenth century and how that is reflected in attitudes to sacrifice and substitution in the Victorian novel.’ Peter Stiles, The Glass Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture, 80

English literature – 1830 – 1900 / English literature – 1900 – 1945 The Europeans Henry James Edited by Susan M. Griffin University of Louisville, Kentucky

The Cambridge Edition of the Complete Fiction of Henry James provides, for the first time, a scholarly edition of a major writer whose work continues to be read, quoted, adapted and studied. James’ The Europeans gently satirizes both early nineteenth-century New England society and the sophisticated visiting Europeans who encounter it. While this wryly comic novel has had its critical champions – F. R. Leavis and Richard Poirier among them – it has not previously received the scholarly attention it deserves. This edition, based on the work’s first book appearance (Macmillan, 1878), reconstructs the novel’s literary, cultural and historical contexts, provides extensive annotation, and gives a detailed textual history of the work, drawing on newly available James letters. It will be of interest to James scholars, book historians and students of nineteenth-century Anglo-American literature and culture, and will also re-introduce readers to the pleasures of Henry James’ early style.

A History of Modernist Poetry examines innovative anglophone poetries from decadence to the post-war period. It also addresses the impact of both World Wars on experimental poetries and the crucial role of magazines in disseminating and proselytizing on behalf of poetic modernism.

Modernist Fiction and Vagueness examines the development of the modernist novel in relation to changing approaches to philosophy. It argues that the puzzle of vagueness challenged the great thinkers of the early twentieth century. Building on recent interest in the connections between philosophy and literature, this book posits that literary vagueness should be read as a defining quality of modernist fiction.

The Selected Letters of Joseph Conrad Joseph Conrad Edited by Laurence Davies University of Glasgow

Owen Knowles University of Hull

and J. H. Stape St Mary’s University College, Twickenham

Since the publication of The Cambridge Edition of the Letters of Joseph Conrad, the numerous collected letters in the nine volumes, many of them published for the first time and many more taken from hard to find books and journals, have had a profound influence on writing about Conrad. This selection makes the highlights available in one volume. The letters have been reedited with shorter footnotes and an emphasis on the latest scholarship. Letters originally written in French or Polish appear only in revised English translations. Among the topics that stand out are Conrad’s memories of growing up in Poland and Ukraine, his ideas about fiction, often expressed in precise but sympathetic comments on the work of his friends, the anxieties of war and revolution, his struggle to keep his integrity as a writer, and his lives as a sailor and a family man.

Mrs Dalloway Virginia Woolf Edited by Anne E. Fernald Fordham University, New York

Mrs Dalloway, created from a series of short stories, is one of Virginia Woolf’s best-known novels. Thematically it conveys a rich and genuine humanity, in part through Woolf’s use of interior perspectives. This edition provides a substantial introduction, which discusses

the composition history of the novel and shows how Woolf’s reading, writing, and personal life as well as the world around her contributed to the book. Explanatory notes review decades of scholarship while identifying numerous allusions to Homer, Shakespeare, Tennyson and others. A complete list of textual variants shows differences among all English language editions of the novel published in Woolf’s lifetime. The notes call attention to variants of particular interest, including Woolf’s substantial addition, at proof stage, to the scene of Septimus’ suicide. This edition also includes Woolf’s seldomreprinted 1928 introduction, along with a full chronology of composition, and a more general chronology of Woolf’s life and works.

Particular attention is given to the buildings and to the politics involved in obtaining funding for them, as well as to the acquisition of the great treasures, such as the Book of Kells and the libraries of Ussher, Claudius Gilbert and Hendrik Fagel. An important aspect is the comprehensive coverage of legal deposit from the beginning of the nineteenth century, viewed for the first time from the Irish perspective.

In all of this, the broader, changing social and cultural context is kept in mind, and so are the various connections with continental Europe. The volume includes

Tennessee Williams and the Theatre of Excess The Strange, The Crazed, The Queer Annette J. Saddik City University of New York

Saddik explores Williams’ later plays (1961–82) in the context of what she terms a ‘theatre of excess’, which seeks liberation through exaggeration, chaos, ambiguity, and laughter. Grounding the plays in the carnivalesque, the grotesque, and psychoanalytic, feminist, and queer theory, Saddik analyzes recent productions that successfully captured the playwright’s late aesthetic. Advance praise: ‘Annette Saddik’s lucid and vital assessment of the misunderstood, mysterious later plays of Tennessee Williams opens the door for a new generation of appreciation for the entire body of his work. A wonderful and eye-opening achievement for those of us passionate about the plays that poured out of him in the twenty years of life that remained after his last ‘so-called’ success, Night of the Iguana.’ John Guare, author of The House of Blue Leaves and Six Degrees of Separation 2015 228 x 152 mm 250pp 5 b/w illus. 978-1-107-07668-6 Hardback c. £60.00 / c.

The Cambridge History of American Poetry offers a comprehensive exploration of the development of American poetic traditions from their beginnings until the end of the twentieth century.

Gender and Race in Antebellum Popular Culture Sarah N. Roth Widener University, Pennsylvania

This book argues that white women, as creators and consumers of popular culture media, played a pivotal role in the demasculinization of black men during the antebellum period, and consequently had a vital impact on the political landscape of antebellum and Civil War-era America through their powerful influence on popular culture. ‘Filled with surprises and discoveries, Sarah Roth’s book shows us antebellum American literature in a new light. Exploring the intricate dance between representations of white women and black men, Roth shows novels struggling to make sense of American society as it lurched from one decade, and crisis, to another.’ Edward Ayers, President and Professor of History, University of Richmond 2014 228 x 152 mm 326pp 14 b/w illus. 8 tables 978-1-107-04368-8 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

Ralph Waldo Emerson in Context

European and world literature (general) The Greek Epic Cycle and its Ancient Reception A Companion Edited by Marco Fantuzzi Columbia University, New York

and Christos Tsagalis University of Thessaloniki, Greece

The poems of the Epic Cycle are assumed to be the reworking of myths and narratives which had their roots in an oral tradition predating that of many of the myths and narratives which took their present form in the Iliad and the Odyssey. The remains of these texts allow us to investigate diachronic aspects of epic diction as well as the extent of variation within it on the part of individual authors – two of the most important questions in modern research on archaic epic. They also help to illuminate the early history of Greek mythology. Access to the poems, however, has been thwarted by their current fragmentary state. This volume provides the scholarly community and graduate students with a thorough critical foundation for reading and interpreting them.

The Letters of Samuel Beckett Volume 3: 1957–1965 Samuel Beckett Edited by George Craig University of Sussex

Martha Dow Fehsenfeld Emory University, Atlanta

Dan Gunn The American University of Paris, France

and Lois More Overbeck Emory University, Atlanta

This third volume of The Letters of Samuel Beckett focuses on the years when Beckett is striving to find a balance between the demands put upon him by his growing international fame, and his need for the peace and silence from which new writing might emerge. This is the period in which Beckett launches into work for radio, film and, later, into television. It also marks his return to writing fiction, with his first major piece for a decade, Comment c’est (How It Is). Where hitherto he has been reticent about the writing process, now he devotes letter after letter to describing and explaining his work in progress. For the first time Beckett has a woman as his major correspondent: a relationship shown in his intense and abundant letters to Barbara Bray. The volume also provides critical introductions, chronologies, explanatory

With David Lurie Columbia University, New York

The Cambridge History of Japanese Literature provides, for the first time, a history of Japanese literature with comprehensive coverage of the premodern and modern eras in a single volume. The book is arranged topically in a series of short, accessible chapters for easy access and reference, giving insight into both canonical texts and many lesser known, popular genres, from centuries-old folk literature to the detective fiction of modern times. The various period introductions provide an overview of recurrent issues that span many decades, if not centuries. The book also places Japanese literature in a wider East Asian tradition of Sinitic writing and provides comprehensive coverage of women’s literature as well as new popular literary forms, including manga (comic books). An extensive bibliography of works in English enables readers to continue to explore this rich tradition through translations and secondary reading.

James Joyce in Context Edited by John McCourt Università degli Studi Roma Tre

This collection charts the vital contextual backgrounds to James Joyce’s life and writing. The essays collectively show how Joyce was rooted in his times, how he is both a product and a critic of his multiple contexts, and how important he remains to the world of literature, criticism and culture. ‘Featuring the contributions of thirty-two distinguished scholars of Joyce, Irish literature and history, and modernism, James Joyce in Context is an exemplary introduction to the many contextual influences on the author’s career. Not only does this study succeed in elucidating Joyce’s historical groundings for the present-day reader, but it departs from the traditional biographical study by focusing on Joyce scholarship as well as primary texts. In so doing, it consistently highlights the contemporary significance of Joyce’s works, and by calling attention to scholarly areas that need further research, it also aids in the maintenance and development of Joyce criticism.’ Christopher Devault, English Literature in Translation

Literary Criticism from Plato to Postmodernism The Humanistic Alternative James Seaton Michigan State University

This book offers a history of literary criticism from Plato to the present, arguing that this history can best be seen as a dialogue among three traditions – the Platonic, Neoplatonic, and the humanistic, originated by Aristotle. ‘James Seaton is the only writer discussing the humanist tradition who has sufficient depth of learning to take it back to its origins in Plato and Aristotle. He has shown more clearly than anyone else the paradox of postmodernist theory that nothing can be certain except the postmodernists’ own certainty that nothing is certain. This book is sui generis because he offers a practical alternative to the current reign of ‘theory’ and ‘cultural studies’. His characteristic virtues as an essayist and literary critic – discrimination, undogmatic flexibility and vast learning – come through with
