100 Poems Old and New Rudyard Kipling Edited by Thomas Pinney Pomona College, California
Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936), winner of the 1907 Nobel Prize for Literature and author of one of the most popular poems in the English language, ‘If–’, has long captured the interest of poetry lovers.

A Feminist Reader Feminist Thought from Sappho to Satrapi Edited by Sharon M. Harris University of Connecticut
and Linda K. Hughes Texas Christian University
Modern feminism has deep roots. Over the past 2500 years, female writers and thinkers across the world have expressed their feelings about gender roles, their frustrations and successes, their struggles for equality. This fourvolume anthology brings together the richest collection of feminist texts available with over 120 entries, most of them complete essays or chapters, arranged broadly chronologically. Readers can juxtapose seventeenthcentury ‘New World’ feminist writing with European counterparts, historical with poststructuralist feminist writing, Asian with Anglophone voices and ‘difference feminism’ with universalist statements. Each text features an editorial headnote and annotation, while the general introduction sets feminism in its historical and global contexts. The anthology’s inclusion of multiple genres – letters and poems as well as philosophical or polemical prose – offers new possibilities for the study of genre and feminist discourse.

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
English literature (general) 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. Advance praise: ‘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. Offering informative, insightful and engaging discussions of a wide range of topics, this exciting new volume represents state-of-the-art research into the theory and practice of stylistics.’ Dan Shen, Changjiang Professor of English, Peking University

Image and Imagination Essays and Reviews C. S. Lewis Edited by Walter Hooper Literary Adviser to the Estate of C. S. Lewis
This selection from the writings of C. S. Lewis gathers together forty book reviews, never before reprinted, as well as four major essays which have been unavailable for many decades. A fifth essay, ‘Image and Imagination’, is published for the first time. Taken together, the collection presents some of Lewis’s finest literary criticism and religious exposition. The essays and reviews substantiate his reputation as an eloquent and authoritative critic across a wide range of literature, and as a keen judge of contemporary scholarship, while his reviews of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings will
be of additional interest to scholars and students of fantasy. Advance praise: ‘C. S. Lewis [was] one of the very best critics writing in English in the twentieth century, vivid, provoking, and eloquent, as well as deeply learned in the literature of Europe from the ancient classics to his own time, with a special mastery of medieval and Renaissance poetry. He is now popularly better known for his fiction and his religious writings than his literary criticism. But it is his gifts as a critic which will endure as his truly pre-eminent legacy. Like Samuel Johnson, on whose personality and writings Lewis modelled himself, he is a commentator whose insights and opinions are enriching even when one disagrees with them, raising central questions and offering challenging perspectives … There is no essay by Lewis on any writer that does not provoke attention and inspire awe at his energy and clarity of mind.’ Claude Rawson, Yale University Canto Classics

Selected Literary Essays C. S. Lewis Edited by Walter Hooper
This volume includes over twenty of C. S. Lewis’s most important literary essays, written between 1932 and 1962. The topics discussed range from Chaucer to Kipling, from ‘The Literary Impact of the Authorised Version’ to ‘Psycho-Analysis and Literary Criticism’, from Shakespeare and Bunyan to Sir Walter Scott and William Morris. Common to each essay, however, is the lively wit, the distinctive forthrightness and the discreet erudition which characterizes Lewis’s best critical writing. Canto Classics

The Allegory of Love A Study in Medieval Tradition C. S. Lewis
The Allegory of Love is a landmark study of a powerful and influential medieval conception. C. S. Lewis explores the sentiment called ‘courtly love’ and the allegorical method within which it developed in literature and thought, from its first flowering in eleventhcentury Languedoc through to its transformation and gradual demise at the end of the sixteenth century. Lewis devotes particular attention to the major poems The Romance of the Rose and The Faerie Queene, and to poets including Chaucer, Gower and Thomas Usk. Canto Classics

Two Cultures? The Significance of C. P. Snow F. R. Leavis Introduction by Stefan Collini
The New Cambridge History of English Literature Edited by Clare A. Lees King’s College London
University of Cambridge
James Chandler
In this first annotated edition of F. R. Leavis’s famous critique of C. P. Snow’s influential argument about ‘the two cultures’, Stefan Collini reappraises both its literary tactics and its purpose as cultural criticism. The edition will enable new generations of readers to understand what was at stake in the dispute and to appreciate the enduring relevance of Leavis’s attack on the goal of economic growth. In his comprehensive introduction Collini situates Leavis’s critique within the wider context of debates about ‘modernity’ and ‘prosperity’, not just the ‘two cultures’ of literature and science. Collini emphasizes the difficulties faced by the cultural critic in challenging widely-held views and offers an illuminating analysis of Leavis’s style. The edition provides full notes to references and allusions in Leavis’s texts.
University of Chicago
‘Fifty years after Lionel Trilling established the terms of subsequent commentary on F. R. Leavis’s Richmond Lecture, Stefan Collini decisively and triumphantly reframes the discussion. By explaining a tone that has struck so many observers as inexplicable, Collini places Leavis’s seemingly outrageous lecture within a tradition of cultural criticism that continues to this day.’ Guy Ortolano, author of The Two Cultures Controversy: Science, Literature, and Cultural Politics in Postwar Britain Canto Classics

Juvenilia Jane Austen Edited by Peter Sabor McGill University, Montréal
Jane Austen’s remarkable juvenilia date from 1787, when she was eleven, to 1793, when she was seventeen. She preserved these early writings in three manuscript notebooks, entitled, with mock solemnity, ‘Volume the First’, ‘Volume the Second’, and ‘Volume the Third’. Most of these works are short fictions, but Austen also wrote the opening of what could have become a full-length novel, ‘Catharine’, as well as dramatic sketches, verses, and a few non-fictional pieces. Astonishingly sophisticated and inventive, these writings are now receiving the scholarly attention they deserve. This edition, first published in 2006, provides a fresh transcription of Austen’s manuscripts, with comprehensive explanatory notes, an extensive critical introduction, covering the context and publication history of the juvenilia, a chronology of Austen’s life and an authoritative textual apparatus. It also prints, for the first time, the copious satirical marginalia that Austen wrote on her copies of Oliver Goldsmith’s History of England. ‘The Juvenilia, here presented with full explanatory notes, can now take their important place in Jane Austen’s works.’ The Jane Austen Society Newsletter The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jane Austen

Later Manuscripts Jane Austen Edited by Janet Todd Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge and University of Aberdeen
and Linda Bree
The manuscripts that survive from Jane Austen’s maturity offer a unique insight into her life as a creative writer. This volume, first published in 2008, collects together all the literary manuscripts from Austen’s adult years (with the exception of the cancelled chapters of Persuasion, in this edition printed with the finished novel), together with letters discussing the art of fiction, and her record of responses to her novels. Included here are the novella Lady Susan, the novel fragments of The Watsons and Sanditon, poems and charades, and the comic ‘Plan of a Novel’. In an appendix are collected other works ascribed to Austen, including the play Sir Charles Grandison and three prayers. The introduction offers a history of the manuscripts and a full account of the current state of scholarship on them, and the texts are accompanied by explanatory notes and contextual information. ‘… a fine and meticulous edition …’ News Letter, The Jane Austen Society

Mansfield Park Jane Austen Edited by John Wiltshire La Trobe University, Victoria
In recent years, Mansfield Park has come to be regarded as Austen’s most controversial novel. It was published in two editions in her lifetime and here the 1814 and 1816 texts are fully collated for the first time. All the variants are included on the page, allowing readers to see the differences between the first edition and the second, which include some important amendments made by Jane Austen herself. Also included, with a brief note on Elizabeth Inchbald, is the text of Lovers’ Vows, the play around which much of the plot of Mansfield Park revolves. The volume, first published in 2005, provides comprehensive explanatory notes, an extensive critical introduction covering the context
Jane Austen Edited by Barbara M. Benedict and Deirdre Le Faye
One of the first of Jane Austen’s novels to be written, and one of the last to be published, Northanger Abbey is both an amusing story of how a naive girl enters society and wins the affection of a witty young clergyman, and a high-spirited parody of the lurid Gothic novels that were popular during Austen’s youth. In the process it features a vivid account of social life in late eighteenth-century Bath, and Austen’s famous defence of the novel as a literary form. This edition, first published in 2006 and based on the text of the novel as published posthumously in 1818, is accompanied by explanatory notes and an appendix summarising the plots and situations of the Gothic fictions that form the basis of much of Austen’s comedy. In addition there is an extensive critical introduction covering the context, publication and critical history of the novel, a chronology of Austen’s life and an authoritative textual apparatus. ‘Benedict and Le Faye … provide in their respective volumes a generous, helpful, and historically informed
introduction to the work and its reception; a set of informative, judicious explanatory notes; and a meticulously prepared and visually well presented text. … The Northanger Abbey edition is excellent … offers a magnificent summary …’ Devoney Looser, University of Missouri The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jane Austen

Persuasion Jane Austen Edited by Janet Todd University of Aberdeen
and Antje Blank University of Aberdeen
The accident of death makes Persuasion Jane Austen’s final novel. It deserves its position by its innovative treatment of passion and rhetorical style and its development of those themes of memory and time, public and private history, inner and outer lives, language and literature, emotion and restraint that have marked all Austen’s work. Where the other works move towards a new symbolic and physical home for the heroine, Persuasion begins with her ejection and ends with her understanding that home is not a place at all but an ambiance and an acceptance of change. This volume, first published in 2006, provides comprehensive explanatory notes, an extensive critical introduction covering the context and publication history of the work, a chronology of Austen’s life and an authoritative textual apparatus.

Sense and Sensibility Jane Austen Edited by Edward Copeland Pomona College, California
Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen’s first published novel (1811), introduced its readers to many of the themes which would dominate Austen’s future work. On one level it is a simple story of two sisters finding fulfilment within a society bounded by regulations and restrictions. But on another it is a comprehensive exploration of the moral dilemmas facing young women in the choices they have to make about their lives. Austen writes about everyday events of her own time with a subtlety and sensitivity unprecedented in the English novel. This edition, first published in 2006, takes as its copytext the second edition of 1813, which corrects some errors of the first edition. The volume provides comprehensive explanatory notes, an extensive critical introduction covering the context and publication history of the work, a chronology of Austen’s life and an authoritative textual apparatus.

A Jacobean Company and its Playhouse The Queen’s Servants at the Red Bull Theatre (c.1605–1619) Eva Griffith
This unique and colourful history tells the story of Thomas Heywood’s playing company, the Queen’s Servants, and their playhouse, The Red Bull. Eva Griffith makes use of extensive research to set the playhouse in the context of Jacobean London, offering new insights into the development of drama during Shakespeare’s age. ‘The last book about The Red Bull’s plays and their staging came out more than eighty years ago. At the time, it offered a wholly fresh approach to Shakespearean playing. Studiously written by George F. Reynolds, and working from a well-documented body of evidence, freshly assessed, it became the first in a long series of studies of specific acting companies and their repertoire of plays, most of them much more recent, and all attempting to identify how the plays were meant to be staged at their original venues. Eva Griffith has written an admirable replacement for Reynolds’s great work, adding masses of fresh information about the families and their interests behind the company and their playhouse, as well as clarifying many features of the company’s remarkable repertoire. Her book will rightly take its place among the works that have clarified

The Model of Poesy William Scott Edited by Gavin Alexander University of Cambridge
The Model of Poesy is one of the most exciting literary discoveries of recent years. A manuscript treatise on poetics written by William Scott in 1599, at the end of the most revolutionary decade in English literary history, it includes rich discussions of the works of Sidney, Spenser, Shakespeare and their contemporaries. Scott’s work presents a powerful and coherent theoretical account of all aspects of poetics, from the nature of representation to the rules of versification, with a commitment to relating theory to contemporary practice. For Scott, any theory of literature must make sense not of the classics but of what English writers are doing now: Scott is at the same time the most scholarly and the most relevant of English Renaissance critics. In this groundbreaking edition, Gavin Alexander presents a text of The Model of Poesy framed by a detailed introduction and an extensive commentary, which together demonstrate the range and value of Scott’s thought. 2013 228 x 152 mm 348pp 2 b/w illus. 978-0-521-19611-6 Hardback £60.00 For all formats available, see

Mythologies of the Prophet Muhammad in Early Modern English Culture
Reading and Writing during the Dissolution
Matthew Dimmock

This book explores how the figure of the Prophet Muhammad was misrepresented in English and wider Christian culture between 1480 and 1735. By tracing the ways in which ‘Mahomet’ was written and rewritten, contested and celebrated, this study explores notions of identity and religion, and the resonances of this history today. ‘Dr Dimmock has broken new ground, not only in his excavation of neglected English sources from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, but also by his close reading of a wider range of writings than has hitherto been assembled in one place … This book furnishes a detailed and vivid sense of the varied ways in which the early modern English constructed and used the person of Mahomet/Muhammad in the articulation of their own identities, world views and notions of self. As such, it provides a suggestive and instructive point of reference and of self-interrogation for any reader inclined to a historically grounded and culturally contextualized understanding of the many and often-

Shakespeare and the Book Trade Lukas Erne Université de Genève
Shakespeare and the Book Trade follows on from Lukas Erne’s groundbreaking Shakespeare as Literary Dramatist to examine the publication, constitution, dissemination and reception of Shakespeare’s printed plays and poems in his own time and to argue that their popularity in the book trade has been greatly underestimated. ‘An admirable amount of original research has gone into the study, making it of use to a wide array of
English literature – Renaissance and early modern to 1700 readers. With Shakespeare and the Book Trade, Lukas Erne manages to do that most coveted of things: he has written another book that everyone must read.’

The publishing history of William Wordsworth’s writings is complex and often obscure. These two volumes set out, for the first time, a comprehensive, detailed bibliographic description of every edition of Wordsworth’s writings up to 1930. The great variety of forms in which readers encountered both authorized and unauthorized texts by Wordsworth is revealed, not only as produced during his lifetime but also during the years of his largest sales, popularity and influence, the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The bibliography provides new information about hundreds of printings and their internal and external designs, processes of production, sales, contents and variant texts and illustrations. More than a record of the transmission and reception of Wordsworth and his writings, it offers invaluable new data for the study of British publishing history and the reception and readership of British Romantic literature.
Keele University
This collection of essays addresses the relationship between Swift and the world of commercial print, and in so doing illustrates the range of developments with which writers, booksellers and their public transformed the business of print during the first half of the eighteenth century.

Byron’s War Romantic Rebellion, Greek Revolution Roderick Beaton King’s College London
The story of Lord Byron’s involvement with Greece and the Greek War of Independence has often been told, but this study, by a leading scholar, throws new light on the impact of Greece on British Romanticism, on Byron’s relationship with Greece, and on the making of the modern Greek state. ‘Byron’s War is a superb portrait of a complex personality. Drawing upon new archival research into the bitter civil wars between rival revolutionary factions, Beaton has constructed a gripping narrative of Byron’s selftransformation from Philhellene to a pragmatic and courageous politicker. Far from playing at soldiers or sentimentalising the klephts, Byron was a moderniser and internationalist who saw the Greek revolution as a crucible whose future constitution might inspire the transformation of Europe.’ Caroline Franklin, Swansea University

The Late Poetry of the Lake Poets Romanticism Revised Tim Fulford De Montfort University, Leicester
Set within the wider context of Romantic poetry and the opposition between ‘living’ and ‘embracing life’, this book encompasses the whole range of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s work, published and unpublished, to show that poetry is, for him, an art form that embodies the most basic questions of life.
Challenging the academically accepted view that the early poems of the Lake Poets were the most significant, Tim Fulford focuses on the importance and innovation of their later work. From this standpoint he argues that Southey’s poetry is revealed as comparable with that of Wordsworth and Coleridge.

English literature – 1700 – 1830 / English literature – 1830 – 1900 Correspondence with Aaron Hill and the Hill Family Samuel Richardson Edited by Christine Gerrard University of Oxford
Samuel Richardson (1689–1761) was an established master printer when, at the age of 51, he published his first novel, Pamela, and immediately became one of the most influential and admired writers of his time. Not only were all Richardson’s novels written in epistolary form: he was also a prolific letter-writer himself. This volume in the first ever full edition of Richardson’s correspondence includes his letters to and from Aaron Hill, the poet, dramatist and entrepreneur (1685–1750). Hill was Richardson’s earliest literary friend and advisor as he embarked on a new career as a novelist. This correspondence offers fascinating insight into the compositional processes not just of the two Pamela novels, but of Richardson’s later novels Clarissa and The History of Sir Charles Grandison. The volume also contains Richardson’s correspondence with Hill’s three literary daughters, which forms an invaluable chapter in the history of women’s writing and literary criticism.

Correspondence with George Cheyne and Thomas Edwards Samuel Richardson Edited by David E. Shuttleton University of Glasgow
and John A. Dussinger University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Samuel Richardson (1689–1761), among the most important and influential English novelists, was also a prolific letter writer. Beyond its extraordinary range, his correspondence holds special interest as that of a practising epistolary novelist, who thought long and hard about the letter as a form. The Cambridge Edition of the Correspondence of Samuel Richardson is the first complete edition of his letters. The present volume contains his correspondences with Dr George Cheyne and Thomas Edwards, linked not only by their pronounced medical content but also by their generally unguarded character. An early admirer of Richardson’s Pamela (1740–41),
Cheyne elicits some of the novelist’s most significant statements concerning his own literary practice and tastes. Edwards, an astute literary critic as well as notable sonneteer, draws Richardson into expressing some remarkable insights as a close reader of poetry and prose.

Parodies, Hoaxes, Mock Treatises Polite Conversation, Directions to Servants and Other Works Jonathan Swift Edited by Valerie Rumbold University of Birmingham
Swift’s parodies are among his most fascinating works, but perhaps require most explication for the modern reader. Valerie Rumbold brings a new depth and detail to the editing of Swift’s Bickerstaff papers, ‘Polite Conversation’, ‘Directions to Servants’ and other works on language and conduct. Highlights include a fresh investigation of the political and print contexts of the Bickerstaff papers, full commentaries on such smaller works as ‘A Modest Defence of Punning’ and ‘On Barbarous Denominations in Ireland’, identification and explanation of many additional sayings in ‘Polite Conversation’, and a detailed contextualisation of ‘Directions to Servants’ in contemporary domestic theory and practice. A substantial thematic Introduction is supplemented by an individual headnote and full annotation to each work. The Textual Introduction explores the publishing strategies adopted by Swift and his booksellers, and a separate Textual Account of each work presents and discusses changes in the texts over time.

Journal to Stella Letters to Esther Johnson and Rebecca Dingley 1710–1713 Jonathan Swift Edited by Abigail Williams University of Oxford
The Journal to Stella, Jonathan Swift’s letters to Esther Johnson, or ‘Stella’, and Rebecca Dingley, written between September 1710 and June 1713, offers an extraordinary commentary on Swift’s experiences in London during the most politically active and exciting years of his career and evidence of his evolving relationship with the two women. This edition seeks for the first time both to situate the letters alongside Swift’s other works and to place them within their original political, historical and cultural contexts. It brings together a combination of printed work and manuscript to present the most complete and accessible text possible, enhanced by the use of the latest digital image analysis techniques to reinstate previously indecipherable material. In addition to a new critical introduction and appendices, there is also a biographical appendix derived from recently available resources. The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jonathan Swift, 9

Moral Authority, Men of Science, and the Victorian Novel Anne DeWitt Princeton University, New Jersey
How did Victorian novelists including Eliot, Hardy and Wells respond to contemporary men of science who aligned scientific practice with moral excellence in an endeavor to secure cultural authority for their discipline? Anne DeWitt argues that novelists came to reject this alignment, denying that science held widely accessible moral benefits. Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture, 84

The Cambridge Edition of the Poems of Rudyard Kipling Rudyard Kipling Edited by Thomas Pinney Pomona College, California
The great expansion of knowledge in recent years about the work of Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) from new sources of information has made it possible, for the first time, to produce a genuinely complete edition of his poems. To the poems collected by Kipling himself this edition adds more than 550 uncollected poems, some of them unpublished. Every authorized text of the collected poems, from original periodical publication to the final edition in the author’s lifetime, has been collated to produce a full record of the author’s additions, deletions and alterations. A note to each poem provides a record of publication and, where possible, information about its occasion and context. Through its completeness, its record of changes and its notes, the edition provides a new basis for the study and appreciation of Kipling’s poetry. ‘Stripped of his historical baggage, Kipling re-emerges as England’s Homer. These magisterial volumes remind us of his power.’ A. A. Gill, Sunday Times 2013 228 x 152 mm 2480pp 3 b/w illus. 978-1-107-01917-1 3 Volume Hardback Set £200.00 For all formats available, see

Something of Myself and Other Autobiographical Writings Rudyard Kipling Edited by Thomas Pinney
Rudyard Kipling has been described as ‘one of the few complete originals in English literature’. In his last work, Something of Myself, he reflects on his life and the basis of his art. Yet paradoxically this ostensibly autobiographical work (as an early critic pointed out) actually discloses very little of himself. Thomas Pinney’s revealing edition now uncovers the extraordinary extent to which Kipling’s account of his life fails to match the biographical facts, in a series of selections, omissions and distortions. Illustrated with Kipling’s own satirical drawings from the manuscripts, and brought together with his other autobiographical writings (some previously unpublished), this fascinating book sheds new light on the intriguing

Joseph Conrad’s short novel The Shadow-Line: A Confession (1917) is one of the key works of early twentieth-century fiction. This edition, established through modern textual scholarship, and published as part of the Cambridge Edition of the Works of Joseph Conrad, presents Conrad’s only major work written during the First World War and its 1920 preface in forms more authoritative than any so far printed. Correspondence reveals that the part- and chapter-divisions present in the historical editions lack authorial sanction, and this edition of The Shadow-Line offers a continuous text for the first time, restoring to the narrative

Under Western Eyes Joseph Conrad Edited by Roger Osborne University College, Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra
and Paul Eggert University College, Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra
Introduction by Keith Carabine University of Kent, Canterbury
With Jeremy Hawthorn Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim
Set in the tumultuous political world of Tsarist repression and revolutionary intrigue in St Petersburg and Geneva, Under Western Eyes (1911) renders with searing intensity the psychological torment of its Russian protagonist, a university student who, in betraying another, has betrayed himself. Based upon a comparison of the existing manuscript and other materials, this scholarly and first extensively annotated edition of Joseph Conrad’s great novel Under Western Eyes differs from all previous printings by more accurately reflecting Conrad’s writing process. The reading text is supported by new scholarly materials that are the result of fifteen years of investigation: essays on the textual and biographical history of the novel, extensive notes, appendices and maps, as well as a full listing of the thousands of textual variants in the early forms of the novel, including the 18,000 words that Conrad himself deleted.

The Cambridge History of Twentieth-Century English Literature Edited by Laura Marcus University of Sussex
and Peter Nicholls University of Sussex
This Cambridge History is the first major history of twentieth-century English literature to cover the full range of writing in England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. The volume also explores the impact of writing from the former colonies on English literature of the period and analyses the ways in which conventional literary genres were shaped and inflected by the new cultural technologies of radio, cinema, and television. In providing an authoritative narrative of literary and cultural production across the century, this History acknowledges the claims for innovation and modernization that chracterise the beginning of the period. At the same time, it attends analytically to the more profound patterns of continuity and development which avant-garde tendencies characteristically underplay. Containing all the virtues of a Cambridge History, this new volume is a major event for anyone concerned with twentieth-century literature, its cultural context, and its relation to the contemporary. ‘The Cambridge History of TwentiethCentury English Literature is an event to be celebrated by modernist and other twentieth-century scholars …individual contributions are, without exception, written with both intelligence and an engaging energy, and many, even most, manage both to present economically what ‘everyone knows or else should know’ … ‘The Cambridge History of TwentiethCentury English Literature is then an altogether fitting monument to the literature of the past century, and a rich artifact of modernist and twentieth-century studies …’ Kevin J .H.

Samuel Beckett in Context Edited by Anthony Uhlmann University of Western Sydney

The essays are designed to complement each other, building an overview that will allow students and scholars to come away with a better sense of Beckett’s life, writings and legacy.
of printing. In the most detailed and comprehensive investigation of the London book trade in any period, Peter Blayney systematically documents the story from 1501, when printing first established permanent roots inside the City boundaries, until the Stationers’ Company was incorporated by royal charter in 1557. Having exhaustively reexamined original sources and scoured numerous archives unexplored by others in the field, Blayney radically revises accepted beliefs about such matters as the scale of native production versus importation, privileges and patents, and the regulation of printing by the Church, Crown and City. His persistent focus on individuals – most notably the families, rivals and successors of Richard Pynson, John Rastell and Robert Redman – keeps this study firmly grounded in the vivid lives and careers of early Tudor Londoners. Advance praise: ‘Blayney’s book is quite an extraordinary feat of scholarship. Any future writing about this period by book historians, bibliographers, students of censorship and of press control, and literary or textual scholars will have to use his book as a starting point.’ John Barnard, University of Leeds 2013 228 x 152 mm 1300pp 38 b/w illus. 4 maps 978-1-107-03501-0 2 Volume Set £150.00 Publication November 2013 For all formats available, see

The Cambridge History of Canadian Literature Edited by Coral Ann Howells University of Reading; University of London
and Eva-Marie Kröller University of British Columbia, Vancouver
From Aboriginal writing to Margaret Atwood, this is a complete Englishlanguage history of Canadian writing in English and French from its beginnings. The multi-authored volume, first published in 2009, pays special attention to works from the 1960s and after, to multicultural and indigenous writing, popular literature, and the interaction of anglophone and francophone cultures throughout Canadian history. Established genres such as fiction, drama and poetry are discussed alongside forms of writing which have traditionally received less attention, such as the essay, naturewriting, life-writing, journalism, and
American literature comics, and also writing in which the conventional separation between genres has broken down, such as the poetic novel. Written by an international team of distinguished scholars, the volume includes a separate, substantial section discussing major genres in French, as well as a detailed chronology of historical and literary/cultural events, and an extensive bibliography covering criticism in English and French. ‘Remarkably for a reference work, it is immensely enjoyable. Many of the chapters, whilst scholarly and detailed, also tell a good story … In sum, this book provides an immensely valuable compass for researchers, orienting them in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing literary field.’ Faye Hammill, University of Strathclyde

The Letters of Ernest Hemingway Volume 2: 1923–1925 Ernest Hemingway Edited by Sandra Spanier Pennsylvania State University
Albert J. DeFazio III George Mason University, Virginia
and Robert W. Trogdon Kent State University, Ohio
The Letters of Ernest Hemingway documents the life and creative development of a gifted artist and outsized personality whose work would both reflect and transform his times. Volume 2 (1923–1925) illuminates Hemingway’s literary apprenticeship in the legendary milieu of expatriate Paris in the 1920s. We witness the development of his friendships with the likes of Sylvia Beach, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John Dos Passos. Striving to ‘make it new’, he emerges from the tutelage of Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein to forge a new style, gaining recognition as one of the most formidable talents of his generation. In this period, Hemingway publishes his first three books, including In Our Time (1925), and discovers a lifelong passion for Spain and the bullfight, quickly transforming his experiences into fiction as The Sun Also Rises (1926). The volume features many previously unpublished letters and

Chivalry and the Ideals of Knighthood in France during the Hundred Years War Craig Taylor University of York
This is the first comprehensive study of the unprecedented range of writings on warfare and knighthood produced in France during the Hundred Years War. Craig Taylor sets the debates in context, challenging modern, romantic assumptions about chivalry and investigating the complexities of cultural representations and expectations of aristocratic warriors. ‘Dr Taylor has produced a fascinating and important study, drawing on a very wide range of texts and providing new insights into French responses to the Hundred Years War. That he does this through the prism of chivalry adds substantially to our understanding of what martial culture meant, whether in the dark days of defeat or in the ultimate recovery of national pride. His book reveals what ‘the flowers of French chivalry’ expected of themselves as well as what contemporary society expected of them.’ Anne Curry, University of Southampton 2013 228 x 152 mm 358pp 1 b/w illus. 978-1-107-04221-6 Hardback £65.00 For all formats available, see

The history of ideas has played a central role in Russia’s political and social history. Understanding its intellectual tradition and the way the intelligentsia have shaped the nation is crucial to understanding the Russia of today. This new history examines important intellectual and cultural currents (the Enlightenment, nationalism, nihilism, and religious revival) and key themes (conceptions of the West and East, the common people, and attitudes to capitalism and natural science) in Russian intellectual history. Concentrating on the Golden Age of Russian thought in the mid-nineteenth century, the contributors also look back to its eighteenth-century origins in the flowering of culture following the reign of Peter the Great, and forward to the continuing vitality of Russia’s classical

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 Literature in Context

Paul Guyer Brown University, Rhode Island
A History of Modern Aesthetics narrates the history of philosophical aesthetics from the beginning of the eighteenth century through the twentieth century. Aesthetics began with Aristotle’s defense of the cognitive value of tragedy in response to Plato’s famous attack on the arts in The Republic, and cognitivist accounts of aesthetic experience have been central to the field ever since. But in the eighteenth century, two new ideas were introduced: that aesthetic experience is important because of emotional impact – precisely what Plato criticized – and because it is a pleasurable free play of many or all of our mental powers. This book tells how these ideas have been synthesized or separated by both the best-known and lesser-known aestheticians of modern times, focusing on Britain, France and Germany in the eighteenth century; Germany and Britain in the nineteenth; and Germany, Britain and the United States in the twentieth. 2014 228 x 152 mm 1704pp 978-1-107-64322-2 3 Volume Set £195.00 Publication March 2014 For all formats available, see
