Provides the first substantive analysis of texts produced in English Benedictine convents between 1600 and 1800, in order to examine a major dilemma experienced by every English convent on the Continent: how could English nuns cultivate a cloistered identity when the Protestant Reformation had swept away nearly all vestiges of English monasticism?

Seafaring activity for trade and travel was dominant throughout the Spanish Empire, and in the worldview and imagination of its inhabitants, the spectre of shipwreck loomed large.

Connects Chinese literary production to emerging discourses of pirates and the sea. The book shows that the late Ming discourses of pirates and the sea were fluid, ambivalent, and dialogical, and they simultaneously entailed imperialistic and personal narratives of the ‘other’: foreigners, renegades, migrants, and marginalised authors.
Focusing on South Asian women writers, essays in this volume address historical and political contexts, including colonialism, partition, migration, ecological concerns, and evolving gender roles, and consider both traditional and contemporary genres such as graphic novels, chick lit, and Instapoetry.
University Press of Mississippi
As authors and publishers, individuals and collectives, women significantly shaped the modernist movement. The essays in this volume explore formal aspects and thematic concerns of modernism while also challenging rigid notions of what constitutes literary value, as well as the idea of a canon with fixed boundaries.
Argues that while scholars have largely overlooked the efforts of early American illustrators, the works of art that they produced impacted readers’ understandings of the texts they encountered, and greatly enriched the nation’s cultural life.

Examines representations of postbellum Black athletes and artist entertainers. The authors examine and, in turn, revise understandings of Black celebrity history while evincing the through lines between the postbellum era and our own time.
Examines the influence of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas on James Joyce. O’Rourke demonstrates that Joyce was a philosophical writer who engaged creatively with questions of diversity and unity, identity, permanence and change, and the reliability of knowledge.
This collection demonstrates the centrality of the body and embodiment in Joyce’s writings, from Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man to Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. Essays address Joyce’s engagement with paralysis, masculinity, childhood violence, trauma, disorderly eating, blindness, nineteenthcentury theories of degeneration, and the concept of ‘madness’.

Argues that Dostoevsky and Nabokov affect the moral imagination of their readers by linking morally laden plots to the ethical questions raised by narrative fiction at the formal level. By doing so, they ask us to consider and respond to the ethical demands that narrative acts of representation and interpretation place on authors and readers.
What makes some characters seem so real? Mimetic Lives explores this question through readings of major works by Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Through new readings of a range of novels, Chloë Kitzinger traces a productive tension between mimetic characterisation and the author’s ambition to transform the reader.
Scholars have long been fascinated by the creative struggles with genre manifested throughout Dostoevsky’s career. Here, Kate Holland shows that Dostoevsky aimed to use the form of the novel as a means of depicting the disintegration caused by various crises in Russian society in the 1860s.

The book comprises one poet’s attempt to plumb the nature of his art, to ask how the selection of material remains a crucial yet unexplored area of poetic craft.

Drama has received little attention in southern studies, and women playwrights in receive less recognition than their male counterparts. Casey Kayser addresses these gaps by examining the work of southern women playwrights, arguing that representations of the American South on stage are complicated by difficulties of identity, genre, and region.

Argues that Hamlet’s famous phrase not only underscores the blurred boundaries between the warring Protestantism and Catholicism of Shakespeare’s time, but is also an appeal for basic spirituality, free from any particular doctrinal scheme.
Unlike the prevailing scholarly narrative that suggests that Tennessee Williams discovered himself artistically and sexually in the deep South and New Orleans, Blue Song reveals that Williams remained emotionally tethered to St. Louis for a host of reasons, for the rest of his life.

Addresses both the history of French neoclassical tragedy - its audiences, performance practice, and development as a genre - and the ideas these works raise, such as necessity, free will, desire, power, and moral behaviour in the face of limited choices.
In the mid-eighteenth century, the Ottawa chief Pontiac led an intertribal confederacy that resisted British power in the Great Lakes region. This event was immortalised in the play Ponteach, or the Savages of America: A Tragedy. Sami Ludwig contends that Ponteach’s literary and artistic merits are worthy of further exploration.

Reframes our understanding of the history of the girls’ book and provides insightful readings of forgotten bestsellers. The book also outlines an alternate model for imagining adolescence and supporting adolescent girls. The awkward adolescent girl remains a valuable resource for understanding contemporary girls and stories about them.
Traces the shifting pedagogical impulse surrounding nature and the environment through the transformations that included America’s nineteenth century emergence as an industrial power. Karen L. Kilcup shows how children’s literature mirrored those changes in various ways.

The story of the mysterious Jay Gatsby’s effort to win the love of Daisy Buchanan, the rich girl who embodies for him the promise of the American dream. Deeply romantic in its concern with self-making, ideal love, and the power of illusion, it draws on modernist techniques to capture the spirit of the materialistic, morally adrift, post-war era.

Robinson Crusoe has been an international bestseller for three hundred years. This edition of the novel with its introduction, line notes, and full bibliographical notes provides a uniquely scholarly presentation of the novel.
Defoe’s The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe was almost always published together with The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. In addition to fulfilling the promise of the first volume, The Farther Adventures is an exciting adventure novel by itself.
Charlotte Dacre
First published in 1720 and considered a sequel to The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, this is a collection of essays written in the voice of the Crusoe character. Expressing Defoe’s thoughts about many moral questions of the day, the narrator takes up isolation, poverty, religious liberty, and epistemology.
A three-volume set of the definitive Stoke Newington Editions of Robinson Crusoe. The set includes the novels and essays with introductions, line notes, and full bibliographical notes.

The protagonist of Charlotte Dacre’s best known novel, Zofloya, or The Moor (1806) is unique in women’s Gothic and Romantic literature, and has more in common with the heroines of Sade or M.G. Lewis than with those of Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Smith or Jane Austen. No heroine of Radcliffe or Austen could exult, as Victoria does in this novel, that ‘there is certainly a pleasure...in the infliction of prolonged torment.’

An insistently original writer whose abrupt departure from the literary scene is the stuff of legend, Fradl Shtok composed stories that describe the travails of young women looking for love and desire in a world that spurns them.
Closely based on the author’s own experiences over the twenty-five years he devoted to running a café that became an important Jerusalem cultural venue and landmark, Café Shira is a work of disarming tenderness and bittersweet love.

A story of two neighbours in San Juan, Puerto Rico: Galán Betances, a Cuban emigrant, and Pat McAllister, a young Coast Guard officer. During long evenings spent together talking on their Calle Luna rooftop, a deep friendship develops based on shared traumas and a common desire to heal.
With enchanting humour, social satire, and verbal dexterity, From a Distant Relation captures the world of the shtetl in a sharp realist prose style. Themes of repressed desire, poverty, relations with non-Jews, and historic upheavals echo in a cast of memorable characters.
Reflecting and challenging attitudes of the belle époque, questioning gender roles, and representing same sex love and desire, Renée Vivien’s stories feature unreliable narrators and include rewritten fairy tales and ancient myths, adventure stories in the American West and at sea, and Northwesternothers.

Gwerful Mechain is the only Welsh female poet from the late middle ages whose poems have survived as a substantial body of work. One of the most striking characteristics of her poetry is the easy coexistence in her oeuvre of devotional and erotic works. Yet, as the introduction discusses, some coexistence of the erotic and the religious was not entirely untypical of medieval literary production in Wales.

Doctor Faustus is one of early modern English drama’s most problematic plays. Selling his soul to Lucifer in return for twenty-four years of power, wealth, knowledge, and sex, Doctor Faustus is at once an aspiring Renaissance magus and the hardened reprobate of Protestant theology.

Salome is Oscar Wilde’s most experimental - and controversialplay. None, however, could deny the importance of Wilde’s creation. This edition uses the English translation by Wilde’s lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. Appendices detail the play’s sources and provide extensive materials on its contemporary reception and dramatic productions.
Blending sensational drama with domestic tragedy and comic farce, this complex and multi layered play by Dekker, Ford, and Rowley emphasises the mundane realities and interpersonal conflicts that are so often at the heart of sensational occurrences.
Marking a central moment in late-Victorian literature, not only for its wit but also for its role in the shift from a Victorian to a modern consciousness, this play began its career as a biting satire directed at the very audience who received it so delightedly.

A young playwright, Thomas, has written an adaptation of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s 1870 novel Venus in Furs, the story of an obsessive adulterous relationship between a man and the mistress to whom he becomes enslaved. An exploration of gender roles and sexuality, Venus in Fur is also a witty, twisting, unsettling look at the art of acting – onstage and off.
These plays by Andy Bragen examine the intimacies and shadows that exist between parents and children. Here, a guided tour through an empty office becomes the unexpected portal to a forgotten New York and a father’s legacy. The autobiographical Notes on My Mother’s Decline evokes the final days of a woman’s life. Fur Play David Ives 2011 978081012822488pp Paperback £14.50 / €17.00

Presents the texts of two short plays, first written in Trinidad. These plays shed considerable light on the social evolution of Trinidad in the crucial decades just before and after the end of slavery in the 1830s. Their publication also contributes to our understanding of the early emergence of theatre, and a local Indigenous literary tradition during this period.
In this collection of six thought provoking plays, E. Donald Two Rivers presents an intricate and multifaceted view of contemporary American Indian urban life. Alternately sad, humorous, or discomfiting, these plays range from one-act vignettes accessible to young adults to extended portrayals of the seedier side of urban existence.
