LITERATURE IN THE RIGHT DIGITAL HEADER AGE LITERATURE IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Humanities in the Twenty-First Century Beyond Utility and Markets

Advancing Digital Humanities

Edited by Eleonora Belfiore, University of Warwick, UK, Anna Upchurch, University of Leeds, UK "The book is beautifully written and edited, allowing the reader to relax and enjoy the experience of following an intense, academic debate, whilst its hard, critical edge skewers economic triumphalism on its own inconsistencies. This makes Humanities in the 21st Century both a compelling call to humanities scholars to reclaim the public value debate, as well as setting a demanding standard for others wanting to participate in that debate." - Paul Benneworth, LSE Review of Books

ARTHURIAN AND COURTLY CULTURES Edited by Bonnie Wheeler (Director, Medieval Studies Program, Southern Methodist University, USA)

Mapping Malory Regional Identities and National Geographies in Le Morte D’Arthur Edited by Dorsey Armstrong, Purdue University, USA, Kenneth Hodges, University of Oklahoma, USA "Gracefully written, amply researched, and persuasively argued, Mapping Malory: Regional Identities and National Geographies in Le Morte Darthur should be on the reading list of anyone seeking a fuller understanding of Arthurian literature." - Kathy Lavezzo, Associate Professor of English, The University of Iowa, USA

9780230358171

The Digital Afterlives of Jane Austen

Medievalists are increasingly grappling with spatial studies. This timely book argues that geography is a crucial element in Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte Darthur and contributors shine a light on questions of politics and genre to help readers better understand Malory's world.

Janeites at the Keyboard Kylie Mirmohamadi, La Trobe University, Australia "This is an exciting project, which makes an important and significant contribution to the fields of fan studies and readership studies. Kylie Mirmohamadi's work provides a new perspective on Austen's reception, highlighting in particular the intertextual (in the broadest sense of the word) nature of how Austen is now received and perceived in today's world." - Katie Halsey, University of Stirling, UK This is the first scholarly study to explore the everexpanding world of online Austen fandom and fan fiction writing. Using case studies from the Internet writing community and publisher, Wattpad, as well as dedicated fan websites, it illuminates the literary processes and products that have given Austen multiple afterlives in the digital arena. Contents: List of Illustrations * Acknowledgements * Introduction: Janeites at the Keyboard * 1. Jane Austen’s Adventures in Wattpadland * 2. Reading (Austen) on Wattpad * 3. ‘Thanks for Fanning’: Online Austen Fan Fiction * 4. ‘Canon can only get you so far’: Janeites Read and Write ‘The Bennet Brother’ * 5.

Of Wales and Women: Guenevere’s Sister and the Isles; Kenneth Hodges * 3. Sir Gawain, Scotland, Orkney; Kenneth Hodges * 4. Trudging toward Rome, Drifting toward Sarras; Dorsey Armstrong * 5.

"This carefully argued and nuanced study of language provides happy proof that new and important work is still possible in much-studied texts." - Kathryn Hume, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English, The Pennsylvania State University, USA Examining Malory's political language, this study offers a revisionary view of Arthur's kingship in the Morte Darthur and the role of the Round Table fellowship. Considering a range of historical and political sources, Lexton suggests that Malory used a specific lexicon to engage with contemporary problems of kingship and rule.

MEDIEVAL LITERATURE Power and Sainthood The Case of Birgitta of Sweden

The Myth of Morgan la Fey

Päivi Salmesvuori, University of Helsinki, Finland "Focused and meticulously researched, Power and Sainthood addresses the idea of holiness in action as St. Birgitta began to assert her authority in the formative years of her life as a mystic and visionary. Salmesvuori gives a grounded view of what Birgitta was like as both a woman and human being, but - very wisely - stops short of making any generalized character judgments . . . A truly interesting take on Birgitta." - Bridget Morris, Independent Scholar, York, UK

Kristina Pérez, University of Hong Kong "This is a classic study of a misunderstood woman that offers a unique view of how well the medieval world, that often seems so distant from us, can touch and inform a modern sensibility." - Bill Burgwinkle, Professor of Medieval French and Occitan Literature, University of Cambridge, UK The sister of King Arthur goes by many names: sorceress, kingmaker, death-wielder, mother, lover, goddess. The Myth of Morgan la Fey reveals her true identity through a comprehensive investigation of the famed enchantress' evolution - or devolution - over the past millennium and its implications for gender relations today. Contents: Introduction Final Girl: The Once and Future Goddess * 1. How to Handle a Woman: Perversion or Psychosis? * 2. Courtly Masochism * 3. Monstrous Mothers: Morgan la Fey and Mélusine * 4.

Michael A. Faletra, Reed College, USA "In this crucial intervention in the burgeoning field of post-Conquest Insular studies, Faletra shows how central the Welsh periphery was to the political consciousness of twelfth-century England. Founding his analysis upon the radical disjuncture Geoffrey of Monmouth effected between the ancient British (the glorified neo-Trojan rulers of the first Insular imperium) and the twelfth-century Welsh (their descendants who have nonetheless degenerated into barbarous alterity), Faletra argues that authors as varied as John of Salisbury, Marie de France, Walter Map, Chrétien de Troyes, and Gerald of Wales turned to Wales and the Welsh as paradigms through which to negotiate anxieties of ethnic specificity, cultural hybridity, and temporal dominion." - David Rollo, Professor of English, University of Southern California, USA, and author of Historical Fabrication, Ethnic Fable and French Romance in Twelfth-Century England Focusing on works by some of the major literary figures of the period, Faletra argues that the legendary history of Britain that flourished in medieval chronicles and Arthurian romances traces its origins to twelfth-century Anglo-Norman colonial interest in Wales and the Welsh. Contents: Introduction: The Scrap-Heap of History * 1. Geoffrey of Monmouth and the Matter of Wales * 2. Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden: Courtly Britain and Its Others * 3. Chrétien de Troyes, Wales, and the Matiere of Britain * 4. Crooked Greeks: Hybridity, History, and Gerald of Wales * Epilogue: The Birds of Rhiannon

SHAKESPEARE AND EARLY MODERN LITERATURE SHAKESPEARE AND EARLY MODERN LITERATURE

The Early Modern Medea Katherine Heavey, University of Glasgow, UK

Love in Print in the Sixteenth Century

This is the first book-length study of early modern English approaches to Medea, the classical witch and infanticide who exercised a powerful sway over literary and cultural imagination in the period 1558-1688. It encompasses poetry, prose and drama, and translation, tragedy, comedy and political writing.

The Popularization of Romance Ian Frederick Moulton, Arizona State University, USA "Beautifully written, and devoid of jargon, [this] is much more than a study of four specific books that treat love as either a philosophical, ideological, rhetorical or physical question. It is an erudite analysis of love as a broad cultural phenomenon with concrete and tangible effects in the sixteenth century, with Moulton's erudition manifesting in his extensive research, the complex tissue of ideas he has interwoven, and the many thoughtful questions he raises. This book will interest a host of readers in many disciplines.' - Margaret F. Rosenthal, Professor of Italian, University of Southern California, USA Love in Print in the Sixteenth Century explores the impact of print on conflicting cultural notions about romantic love in the sixteenth century. This popularization of romantic love led to profound transformations in the rhetoric, ideology, and social function of love - transformations that continue to shape cultural notions about love today.

Politics and Political Culture in the Court Masque considers the interconnections of the masque and political culture. It examines how masques responded to political forces and voices beyond the court, and how masques explored the limits of political speech in the Jacobean and Caroline periods.

This collection examines the diverse material cultures through which early modern women's writing was produced, transmitted, and received. It focuses on the ways it was originally packaged and promoted, how it circulated in its contemporary contexts, and how it was read and received in its original publication and in later revisions and redactions.

Young Shakespeare’s Young Hamlet Print, Piracy, and Performance

HISTORY OF TEXT TECHNOLOGIES

Terri Bourus, Indiana University/Purdue University Indianapolis, USA

Gary Taylor (Distinguished Research Professor of English, Florida State University, USA), Francois Dupuigrenet Desroussilles (Professor of Religion, Florida State University, USA), Elizabeth Spiller(Professor of English, Florida State University, USA)

The different versions of Hamlet constitute one of the most vexing puzzles in Shakespeare studies. In this groundbreaking work, Shakespeare scholar Terri Bourus argues that this puzzle can only be solved by drawing on multiple kinds of evidence and analysis, including book and theatre history, biography, performance studies, and close readings.

Shakespeare and the Imprints of Performance J. Gavin Paul, Simon Fraser University, Canada Most scholars agree that reading a play is absolutely unlike live performance, but everything else about their relationship beyond this premise has proven contestable. Focusing on the editorial and textual history of Shakespeare, this book navigates these debates by exploring how textual distortions enrich a play's performance potentialities. Contents: Prologue: Prospero’s Storm * 1. Mediating Page and Stage * 2. Text and Performance on the Early Modern Page * 3. Performance and the Editorial Tradition * 4. Performance Commentary: Writing in the Sand * 5. The Critical Edition as Archive * Epilogue: Prospero’s Bands

PALGRAVE SHAKESPEARE STUDIES

Simon C. Estok, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea "A milestone work." - Early Modern Literary Studies "A more-than-welcome contribution to Shakespeare scholarship, to ecocriticism, and to critical theory." -Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and the Environment

Michael Dobson, Birkbeck, University of London, UK, Dympna Callaghan, Dean’s Professor in the Humanities, Syracuse University, New York, USA

Combining close readings with theoretical sophistication, this book is a path-breaking addition to both Shakespearean scholarship and the burgeoning field of ecocriticism. Refreshingly, Estok takes readers back to the radical possibilities ecocriticism began with to give new insight into a dramatist who had a lot to say about the natural world.

Shakespeare, Dissent and the Cold War Open-Air Shakespeare Under Australian Skies Rosemary Gaby, University of Tasmania, Australia Many people today first encounter staged Shakespeare in an open-air setting. This book traces the history of open-air Shakespeares in Australia to investigate why the anomaly of adapting 400-year old plays under Australian skies exerts such a strong appeal. Contents: List of illustrations * Acknowledgements * Introduction: Open-air Shakespeare, Space, Place and Performance * 1.Early Experiments: Pastoral and Elizabethan Staging * 2.Pageants and Festivals: Shakespeare in the Street * 3.Glenn Elston and the Rise of Picnic Shakespeares * 4.From Local Park to National Park: After the 1980s * Conclusion * Bibliography * Index

Alfred Thomas, University of Illinois, USA "Thomas has written a lively, intelligent, and interesting study of the politics of Shakespearean drama and its relationship to the literature and theater of Cold-War (and post-Cold-War) Europe. He examines Shakespeare's deliberate employment of religio-political codes that call attention to the persecution of English Catholics, the repressive practices of the English government and the socially disruptive effects of religious antagonisms. In analyzing Russian film versions of Hamlet and King Lear as indirect criticisms of the Soviet system, the CzechEnglish playwright Tom Stoppard's Cahoot's Macbeth in the context of post-1968 Czech political resistance, and Ingeborg Bachmann's poem 'Bohemia Lies on the Sea,' Thomas highlights the political potential of Shakespearean drama that can be translated into powerful political protest and analysis in changed (modern) circumstances." - Arthur Marotti, Wayne State University, USA Shakespeare, Dissent and the Cold War is the first book to read Shakespeare's drama through the lens of Cold War politics. The book uses the Cold War experience of dissenting artists in theatre and film to highlight the coded religio-political subtexts in Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth and The Winter's Tale.

SHAKESPEARE AND EARLY MODERN LITERATURE Julius Caesar

Spectral Shakespeares Media Adaptations in the Twenty-First Century Maurizio Calbi, University of Salerno, Italy "Calbi's writing constitutes theoretical criticism at its best. Moving between the BBC 'Shakespea(Re)Told' season, arthouse films and social networking discussion, as well as other cultural products and practices, the author showcases a rich array of ghostly renderings of the Bard." - Professor Mark Thornton Burnett, Queen's University, Belfast, Northern Ireland Spectral Shakespeares is an illuminating exploration of experimental adaptations of Shakespeare on film, TV, and the web.

SHAKESPEARE AND EARLY MODERN LITERATURE Barbarian Memory

Violent Masculinities

The Legacy of Early Medieval History in Early Modern Literature

Male Aggression in Early Modern Texts and Culture

Nicholas Birns, The New School for Liberal Arts, USA "Barbarian Memory will be of interest to a variety of early-period scholars. It urges us to recognize the paradoxical and conflicted narrative of history and religion that emerges when we cast into relief the matter of the barbarian as part of a cultural tapestry extending from the late antique to the early modern period. Birns uncovers a barbarian uncanny that reshapes literary readings at the levels of both character and form." - Seeta Chaganti, Associate Professor of English, University of California, Davis, USA An investigation of the use of Late Antique European history by late medieval and Renaissance writers such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Davenant, Trissino, and Corneille. The liminality of the late antique period and the issues of ethnicity and religion it raises makes it very different from that of the classical world in analogous writers. Contents: 1. Barbarian Memory and the Uncanny Past * 2. Chaucer, Gower, and Barbarian History * 3. Rome, Christianity, and Barbarian Memory in Titus Andronicus * 4. Rhyme, Barbarism, and Manners from Trissino to Corneille

Edited by Jennifer Feather, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA, Catherine E. Thomas, College of Charleston, USA "A strong contribution to emerging scholarship on early modern masculinities, this exciting collection shows how the achievement of normative manhood depended on the performance of violence. In the turbulent social world of early modern Europe, these essays suggest male aggression signified differently according to distinctions of age, status, and sexuality. These compelling historicist readings of male aggression and suffering illuminate forms of violence ranging from duels to brawls to military campaigns." - Mario DiGangi, Professor of English, Lehman College and the Graduate Center, CUNY, USA During the early modern period in England, social expectations for men came under extreme pressure - the armed knight went into decline and humanism appeared. Here, original essays analyze a wide-range of violent acts in literature and culture, from civic violence to chivalric combat to brawls and battles. Contents: PART I: ‘DISPUTE IT LIKE A MAN’: MILITANT MASCULINITIES * PART II: ‘THE FAITH OF MAN’: RELIGION AND MASCULINE AGGRESSION * PART III: ‘FEEL IT AS A MAN’: MALE VIOLENCE AND SUFFERING

SHAKESPEARE AND EARLY MODERN LITERATURE Lucretian Thought in Late Stuart England Debates about the Nature of the Soul Laura Linker, High Point University, USA "Lucretian Thought in Late Stuart England makes an original and perceptive contribution to a growing body of research on the treatment of the soul in the literature of the late seventeenth- and early-eighteenth centuries. Linker convincingly demonstrates that the Restoration literary imagination was significantly affected by Epicurean thought, as mediated by contemporary editions of Lucretius's De rerum natura and the neo-Epicurean works of the physician and natural philosopher Walter Charleton, among others. Given the dearth of books on this subject, it was a pleasure to read Linker's study on the soul in Restoration literature written by both women and men who chronicled or staged its stirrings." - Holly Faith Nelson, Professor and Chair of English, Trinity Western University, Canada How did writers understand the soul in late seventeenth-century England? This book considers depictions of the soul in literary texts that engage with Lucretius's Epicurean philosophy in De rerum natura or through the writings of the most important natural philosopher to disseminate Epicurean atomism in England, Walter Charleton (1619-1707).

Typology and Iconography in Donne, Herbert, and Milton Fashioning the Self after Jeremiah Reuben Sánchez, Sam Houston State University, USA This book analyzes the iconographic traditions of Jeremiah and of melancholy to show how Donne, Herbert, and Milton each fashions himself after the icons presented in Rembrandt's Jeremiah Lamenting the Destruction of Jerusalem, Sluter's sculpture of Jeremiah in the Well of Moses, and Michelangelo's fresco of Jeremiah in the Sistine Chapel.

Lisa S. Starks-Estes, University of South Florida, USA Employing psychoanalysis, trauma theory, and materialist perspectives, this book examines Shakespeare's appropriations of Ovid's poetry in his Roman poems and plays.

Yasmin Solomonescu, University of Notre Dame, USA "John Thelwall and the Materialist Imagination covers the range of Thelwall's writing, including the novel Daughter of Adoption and the manuscript of poetry recently discovered in Derby. It includes an impressive account of the import of Thelwall's elocutionary writings to his other work. The presentation of John Thelwall as the 'Champion of Materialism' for his period is the key contribution of this monograph. Not only does it develop recent interest in Thelwall in his own right, but it provides a new perspective on the understanding of his role in the period's materialist thinking. In this regard, Solomonescu's work will speak to medical historians and historians of science as well as scholars of the Romantic period." – Jon Mee, University of York, UK

Historical Writing in Britain, 1688-1830 Visions of History Edited by Benjamin Dew, University of Portsmouth, UK, Fiona Price, University of Chichester, UK

Intimacy and Family in Early American Writing Erica Burleigh, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY, USA "Moving across a number of sophisticated theoretical and jurisprudential problems with great lucidity, Erica Burleigh's Intimacy and Family in Early American Writing returns to and reignites feminist debates about family figures in early American writing. The book engages a much more ambitious historical trajectory than similar works, demonstrating how debates about slavery repurposed an early national rhetoric of familial disunion, and nuancing our understanding of race in anti-abolitionist rhetoric. A fascinating and welcome intervention." –Jordan Alexander Stein, Assistant Professor of English, Fordham University, USA

Historical Writing in Britain, 1688-1830 explores a series of debates concerning the nature and value of the past in the long eighteenth century. The essays investigate a diverse range of subjects including art history, biography, historical poetry, and novels, as well as addressing more conventional varieties of historical writing.

William Cobbett, the Press and Rural England Radicalism and the Fourth Estate, 1792-1835

James Grande, King’s College London, UK "William Cobbett, the Press and Rural England is a compelling and passionate narrative history of particular dramatic episodes in Cobbett's radical career—that rather rare thing, an academic pageturner. This is not only because the episodes themselves were so extraordinary, and Cobbett's radical personality, as manifested in his writings, so powerful, but also because Grande writes with real fluency and passionate flair. It is also the case that, as well as an intriguing biography-in-episodes, the book is fully informed by both literary critical and Marxist historical research into Cobbett and early 19th century radicalism.' – Tim Fulford, De Montfort University, UK

Providing imaginatively contextualized close readings, this study focuses on three key eighteenth-century writers - Haywood, Hill and Fowke. Wilputte traces the development of the passionate language of these writers whose lives, writing careers, and interests intersected from 1720 to 1724 in the ‘Hillarian’ coterie. Contents: 1.

The dialectical relationship between Snyder and his predecessors reminds readers that nature is never a simple concept. Contents: Introduction * 1.

Larry Duffy, University of Kent, UK "Duffy breaks new ground in this major study by offering a rich analysis of the incorporation of an impressive range of contemporary extraliterary discourses into the writings of Flaubert and Zola, two of the nineteenth century’s most influential writers. Moving beyond understandings of incorporation that focus on sexuality, he attentively probes, through a series of close readings and intertextual and theoretical engagements, the ways in which disciplinary knowledge is represented in the powerful metaphor of the physiological body in need of treatment and correction. The book makes a high-quality, imaginative contribution, not merely to the discipline of French studies but, in-keeping with its desire to break down discursive boundaries, to scholarship on the interfaces between literary, medical and scientific discourses, the documentary culture of nineteenth-century France, and the dynamics of archive and documentary fiction." - Dr Steven Wilson, School of Modern Languages, Queen’s University Belfast This book is about how France's two major documentary authors of the nineteenth century – Gustave Flaubert and Émile Zola – incorporate medical knowledge about the body into their works, and in so doing exploit its metaphorical potential of the body to engage in critical reflection about the accumulation and reconfiguration of knowledge.

Hospitality and the Transatlantic Imagination, 1815-1835 Cynthia Schoolar Williams, School of the Museum of Fine Arts, USA ''We do not know what hospitality is,' Jacques Derrida once said. Yet, in Cynthia Schoolar Williams' competent hands, this non-knowledge proves to be exceptionally generative. Succinct and intellectually agile, her book traces the frisson of threshold experiences activating and connecting the work of a range of Romantic writers on both sides of the Atlantic. Through a series of intelligent readings, Williams demonstrates that thresholds are wholly fraught spaces, at once scenes of alienation, intimacy, and possibility. Her book explores what it means hospitably to encounter a stranger and to be encountered as a stranger–including a stranger to oneself." - David L. Clark, Professor of English and Cultural Studies, McMaster University, Canada Hospitality and the Transatlantic Imagination, 1815-1835 argues that a select group of late-Romantic English and American writers disrupted national tropes by reclaiming their countries' shared historical identification with hospitality. In doing so, they reimagined the spaces of encounter: the city, the coast of England, and the Atlantic itself. Contents: 1. Keeping Hospitality * 2.

NINETEENTH-CENTURY LITERATURE Hazlitt the Dissenter

Modernity and Meaning in Victorian London

Religion, Philosophy, and Politics, 1766-1816

Tourist Views of the Imperial Capital

Stephen Burley, Headington School, Oxford, UK

Joseph De Sapio, Independent Scholar, Canada

Hazlitt the Dissenter is unique in providing the first book-length account of Hazlitt's early life as a dissenter. As the first multi-disciplinary account of Hazlitt's early literary career, it provides a new insight into the literary, intellectual, political and religious culture of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century.

Joseph De Sapio examines how individuals not only understood their contacts with industrial modernity as distinct from the inherited traditional rhythms of the eighteenth century, but how they conceived of their own positions within the increasingly sophisticated political, social, and commercial paradigms of the Victorian years.

Contents: Introduction * 1. William Hazlitt (1737-1820) and the Unitarian Controversy * 2. ‘A Slaughter-House of Christianity’: New College Hackney (1786-96) * 3. ‘A New System of Metaphysics’ * 4. Retrospective Radicalism: Pitt, Patriotism, and Population * Conclusion

The Victorian Colonial Romance with the Antipodes Helen Lucy Blythe, New Mexico Highlands University, USA "Butler's Erewhon is the best known of the New Zealand utopias, an upside down world where illness was a crime, and crime a malady. Utopias were the hinges between this world and another where everything that was not known here was usual there, and Helen Lucy Blythe introduces us to the full range of imagined possibilities offered by New Zealand to its British visitors and settlers. This is a book equally valuable for students of fantastic commonwealths and of the cultural history of Aotearoa/New Zealand." - Jonathan Lamb, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities, Vanderbilt University, USA This study treats the Victorian Antipodes as a compelling site of romance and satire for middle-class writers who went to New Zealand between 1840 and 1872.

NINETEENTH-CENTURY LITERATURE Jane Austen’s Possessions and Dispossessions

George Eliot’s Feminism

The Significance of Objects

"The Right to Rebellion"

Sandie Byrne, Oxford University, UK

June Szirotny, University of Illinois, USA

Who owns, who buys, who gives, and who notices objects is always significant in Austen's writing, placing characters socially and characterizing them symbolically. Jane Austen's Possessions and Dispossessions looks at the significance of objects in Austen's major novels, fragments, and juvenilia.

The question of whether or not George Eliot was what would now be called a feminist is a contentious one. This book argues, through a close study of her fiction, informed by examination of her life's story and by a comparison of her views to those of contemporary feminists, that George Eliot was more radical and more feminist than commonly thought.

The Peripheral Child in Nineteenth Century Literature and its Criticism

British Women Writers and the Short Story, 1850-1930

Neil Cocks, University of Reading, UK

Reclaiming Social Space Kate Krueger, Arkansas State University, USA "Wide-ranging, incisive and thoroughly readable, this will be essential reading for anyone interested in women writers' contribution to the short story tradition." - Ailsa Cox, Edgehill University, UK This book addresses a critically neglected genre used by women writers from Gaskell to Woolf to complicate Victorian and modernist notions of gender and social space. Their innovative short stories ask Britons to reconsider where women could live, how they could be identified, and whether they could be contained.

Established accounts of the child in nineteenth century literature tend to focus on those who occupy a central position within narratives. This book is concerned with children who are not so easily recognized or remembered, the peripheral or overlooked children to be read in works by Dickens, Brontë, Austen and Rossetti.

TWENTIETH-CENTURY LITERATURE Literary and Cultural Relations between Brazil and Mexico

Modernism and Exile Liminality and the Utopian Imagination

Deep Undercurrents Paulo Moreira, Yale University, USA "This is an example of inter-American literary scholarship at its most perceptive. Moreira deftly connects seminal works from both Mexico and Brazil and shows the reader how, on the question of their modern New World heritage, these profoundly influential New World texts compare and contrast with each other. In doing so, he anticipates a variety of additional readings involving both the United States and Canada." - Earl E. Fitz, Professor of Portuguese, Spanish, and Comparative Literature, Vanderbilt University, USA Joining a timely conversation within the field of intraAmerican literature, this study takes a fresh look at Latin America by locating fragments and making evident the mostly untold story of horizontal (south-south) contacts across a multilingual, multicultural continent.

Studying exile and utopia as correlated cultural phenomena, and offering a wealth of historical examples with emphasis on the modern period, Spariosu argues that modernism itself can be seen as a product of an acute exilic consciousness that often seeks to generate utopian social schemes to compensate for its exacerbated sense of existential loss.

Alex Runchman, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland "As evidenced by Alex Runchman's skillfully and thoroughly researched book, an argument on the behalf of the lesser-known American poet, Delmore Schwartz, can be made, should be made, and has now been made here. Organized, pithy, and direct, Alex Runchman's clear and well-executed study deserves transatlantic attention." -Stephen Burt, Professor of English, Harvard University, USA Taking as its starting point Delmore Schwartz's selfappointment as both a 'poet of the Hudson River' and 'laureate of the Atlantic,' this book comprehensively reassesses the poetic achievement of a critically neglected writer. Runchman reads Schwartz's poetry in relation to its national and international perspectives. Contents: Introduction * 1. The Greatest Thing in North America: ‘International Consciousness’ or ‘The Isolation of Modern Poetry’? * 2. In Dreams Begin Responsibilities: “The egocentric predicament’ * 3.

A Critical Companion to Jorge Semprún Buchenwald, Before and After

Antonin Artaud

Edited by Ofelia Ferrán, University of Minnesota, USA, Gina Herrmann, University of Oregon, USA

The Scum of the Soul Ros Murray, University of Manchester, UK "Ros Murray's engaging book offers an excellent survey across significant aspects of Antonin Artaud's ouevre, and outlines a clear set of principles that underpinned his creative energies. Starting with the premise that Artaud's work attempted to locate the origins of thought in the body, and considering the implications of this for his art, Murray seeks to put different disciplinary approaches and perspectives in dialogue as she approaches his output in various media. With an eye always on how the body and the text interact, Artaud's relationship with language is scrutinised, giving the reader a useful set of approaches to his activities that contextualises, clarifies and facilitates our continued engagement with that varied, challenging and expressive body of work." - Mark Taylor-Batty, University of Leeds, UK

Presenting the first English-language collection of essays on Jorge Semprún, this volume explores the life and work of the Spanish Holocaust survivor, author, and political activist.

It would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of understanding the work of the Memoir Club in regard to the history of twentieth-century British culture. And no one would be more qualified than the late S.P. Rosenbaum to write the history of a club that included, basically, the 'membership' of the Bloomsbury Group." - Morris Beja, Emeritus Professor of English, Ohio State University, USA Shortly before his death, S.

Peter Billingham, University of Winchester, UK

G. Douglas Atkins, University of Kansas, USA "In his latest book, Atkins brings his characteristic clarity and incisiveness to the previously unexamined relation between Lancelot Andrewes and T.S. Eliot, as mutually influential friends whose writings prefigure the theoretical nuances of latter twentieth-century literary culture. Through Atkins' erudition and eye for essentials, Andrewes' sense of the via media provides a lens to Eliot's dialectical spirit: his pleasures, his difficulties, his art. Rarely does theory meet closereading with such illuminating grace." - Bruce Bond, Regents Professor of English, University of North Texas, USA and author of Choir of the Wells With special attention to the poems For Lancelot Andrewes, Journey of the Magi, and Ash-Wednesday, G.

Nabokov’s Eros and the Poetics of Desire

The Passport and Cosmopolitan Experience

Maurice Couturier, University of Nice, France Nabokov gained international fame with Lolita, a highly erotic and morally disturbing novel. Through its comprehensive study of the amorous and sexual behaviors of Nabokov's characters this book shows how Eros, both as a clown or a pervert, contributes to the poetic excellence of his novels and accounts for the unfolding of the plots.

Lawrence, Gertrude Stein, and Claude McKay, Modernism and Mobility argues that the passport system is an indispensable segue into discussions of literary modernism.

Writing Disenchantment British First World War Prose, 1914–30

Literary Geographies

Andrew Frayn, University of Manchester, UK It has become axiomatic that First World War literature was disenchanted, or disillusioned, and returning combatants were unable to process or communicate that experience. In Writing Disenchantment, Andrew Frayn argues that this was not just about the war: non-combatants were just as disenchanted as those who fought.

Narrative Space in Let The Great World Spin Sheila Hones, The University of Tokyo, Japan Combining literary analysis with a practical introduction to interdisciplinary literary geography, Literary Geographies examines key elements of Colum McCann’s 2009 novel, Let the Great World Spin. Hones examines concepts such as narrative space, literary and academic collaboration, and the geographies of creation, production, and reception.

Contents: Introduction * 1. Patriotism, Propaganda and Pacifism, 1914–18 * 2. Hope to Disenchantment, 1919–22 * 3. Modernism, Conflict and the Home Front, 1922–27 * 4. Sagas and Series, 1924–28 * 5.

Liam Lanigan, University College Cork, Ireland "James Joyce, Urban Planning, and Irish Modernism makes a worthy contribution to scholarship on the city of Dublin as central to 'local,' nationalist, and internationalist dimensions of Irish modernist production. Lanigan's examination of the theory and practice of urban planning in the production of Irish literary culture (material, narratological, and conceptual) fills a significant gap in Joyce studies, modernist studies, and studies of modern Irish literature." - Desmond Harding, Central Michigan University, USA Irish writing in the modernist era is often regarded as a largely rural affair, engaging with the city in fleeting, often disparaging ways, with Joyce cast as a defiant exception. This book shows how an urban modernist tradition, responsive to the particular political, social, and cultural conditions of Dublin, emerged in Ireland at this time.

Aris Mousoutzanis, University of Brighton, UK "A portrait of centuries' ends, of catastrophic denouements and apocalyptic rebirths, Fin de Siècle Fictions, 1890s-1990s brings to life the millennial preoccupations characteristic of the emergence and consolidation of global capitalism and technoscientific Empire. The range of texts – from HG Wells to Octavia Butler, future war fiction to Star Trek, lost world fiction to The X-Files – and contexts with which it engages is impressive." - Dr Mark Bould, University of the West of England, UK Fin-de-Siècle Fictions, 1890s-1990s focuses on fin-desiècle British and postmodern American fictions of apocalypse and investigates the ways in which these narratives demonstrate shifts in the relations among modern discourses of power and knowledge.

Esther Peeren, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands "This is an important and original work of criticism. The perspective it adopts is fresh and gripping; the application of the 'spectral metaphor' to nonliteral situations, such as the 'invisibility' of migrant workers and domestic servants, expands the sense of 'spectrality' in fascinating new ways; the scholarship and theoretical acumen are superb throughout; the written style of the work is elegant, precise and accessible; and the political and ethical implications of the study are lucidly spelled out, without any attempt prematurely to resolve the most difficult issues." Colin Davis, Royal Holloway University of London, UK What does it mean to live as a ghost? Exploring spectrality as a metaphor in the contemporary British and American cultural imagination, Peeren proposes that certain subjects – migrants, servants, mediums and missing persons – are perceived as living ghosts and examines how this figuration can signify both dispossession and empowerment or agency.

Constructing a Post-War Political-Cultural Project

With Another, Earlier Adaptation of We the Living

P. W. Preston, University of Birmingham, UK "This is a book that should be read by anyone interested in contemporary Britain. It traces developments in post-war Britain in the context of the end of Empire, but does so in a different way which focuses upon the role of ideas/narratives reflected in government designs, high arts and popular culture. It is challenging, but always interesting; even where the reader might disagree." - David Marsh, Director of Research, ANZSOG Institute for Governance, University of Canberra, Australia Through compelling analysis of popular culture, high culture and elite designs in the years following the end of the Second World War, this book explores how Britain and its people have come to terms with the loss of prestige stemming from the decline of the British Empire. The result is a volume that offers new ideas on what it is to be 'British'. Contents: Preface * Acknowledgement * 1. After the Empire * 2. Foundation Myths * 3. Grand Designs * 4. Making Enemies * 5.

Ayn Rand Robert Mayhew, Seton Hall University, USA "After the brief Broadway run of The Unconquered in 1940, Ayn Rand's play was never performed, never published, never available for public scrutiny. Until now. This volume showcases her repeated attempts to dramatize the core of her first novel. By presenting the first and final versions, along with excerpts from other drafts and commentary on all extant scripts, Robert Mayhew shows how Ayn Rand considered variations in her means of expression - in structure and settings, in events and dialogue, and even in the cast of characters - while maintaining, as a constant, her enduring theme. This is a guided tour of buried treasures." - Shoshana Milgram, Associate Professor of English, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA

TWENTIETH-CENTURY LITERATURE Race and Identity in D. H. Lawrence

Mythic Thinking in Twentieth-Century Britain

Indians, Gypsies, and Jews

Meaning for Modernity

Judith Ruderman, Duke University, USA "Judith Ruderman's book is a rare case of a culturalhistorical approach informed by a subtle literary critical intelligence and a deep appreciation of Lawrence's art. She recognises the inconsistencies in his representations of Jews, Native Americans and Gypsies and, without whitewashing him, doesn't try to pin him down as a racist. She explores the inconsistencies as marks of a writer of his time trying to come to terms with an intense susceptibility to difference. In particular, she illuminates the way in which Lawrence's own position as an outsider drew him to identify even with groups against which he held prejudices." – Neil Roberts, University of Sheffield, UK Race and Identity in D. H. Lawrence is a wide-ranging examination of Lawrence's adoption and adaptation of stereotypes about minorities, with a focus on three particular 'racial' groups.

CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE Contemporary British Literature and Urban Space

Transatlantic Literature and Culture After 9/11

After Thatcher

Edited by Kristine A. Miller, Utah State University, USA

Kim Duff, University of British Columbia, Canada

Transatlantic Literature and Culture After 9/11 asks whether post-9/11 America has chosen the 'wrong side of paradise' by waging war on terror rather than working for global peace. Analyzing transatlantic literature and culture, the book refocuses our view of Ground Zero through the lenses of imperial power and cosmopolitan exchange.

The Wrong Side of Paradise

CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE Literature after Postmodernism

Embodying Memory in Contemporary Spain

Reconstructive Fantasies

Alison Ribeiro de Menezes, University of Warwick, UK "Ribeiro de Menezes has accomplished a major task: to give a form to this debate and, thus, to provide us with a new tool to critically understand better contemporary Spain, including the process of political forces involved, the role of ideologies and the intellectuals, and to move now ahead into the future that is part of the very notion of memory as archive of history but also as an Utopian subtext. This work is a lucid and highly precise tool of knowledge, a book that traces a model of reading the forces in dispute in order to construct a critical narrative." - Julio Ortega, Professor of Hispanic Studies, Brown University, USA

Irmtraud Huber, University of Berne, Switzerland Literature after Postmodernism explores the use of literary fantastic storylines in contemporary novels which begin to think beyond postmodernism. They develop an aesthetic perspective that aims at creation and communication instead of subversion and can thus be considered no longer deconstructive but reconstructive.

Edited by Elodie Rousselot, University of Portsmouth, UK

Contemporary Fictions of Multiculturalism analyses novels of the late 20th and early 21st centuries that explore ethnic and cultural diversity in London. It contributes to key, ongoing debates in literary and cultural studies and, in particular, to debates over the status and relevance of multiculturalism today.

CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE Making Meaning in Popular Romance Fiction An Epistemology Jayashree Kamblé, LaGuardia Community College, USA "Based on her sure command of the romance novels written since 1908, Kamble elucidates both 'romance' and 'novel' to offer a theory that unlocks the genre's depiction of ideological struggles involving post-industrial capitalism, patriotic warfare, heteronormativity, and racial anxiety. In her analysis, the romance novel emerges as a record of the most pressing public debates of the last century. Clearly written, equally at ease in its offering of theoretical insight and close reading, Making Meaning in Popular Romance Fiction: An Epistemology is a must-read." - Pamela Regis, Professor of English, McDaniel College, USA, and author of A Natural History of the Romance Novel Despite pioneering studies, the term 'romance novel' itself has not been subjected to scrutiny. This book examines mass-market romance fiction in the U.K., Canada, and the U.S. through four categories: capitalism, war, heterosexuality, and white Protestantism and casts a fresh light on the genre.

LITERARY HISTORY AND REFERENCE Modernism and Christianity

Gothic Kinship

Erik Tonning, University of Bergen, Norway "This is that rare thing: a truly revisionary critical study of Modernism. For the past half century, the role of Christianity in Anglo-Modernist literature has been played down as irrelevant in a secular age - an age looking for 'replacement' religions in its attempted rupture with the past. But the presence of Christian imagery, iconography, and dogma in shaping Modernist texts from Joyce to Beckett cannot be ignored. Erik Tonning shows that, even when overt stances toward Christian dogma were negative, the key issues raised by Christian thought could hardly be avoided. Indeed, he suggests, it was Christianity itself that helped to shape the particular tensions we think of as characteristically Modernist. In provocative and persuasive chapters on Joyce and David Jones, on Eliot, Pound and Auden, and finally on Beckett, Tonning shows the way to a more nuanced, more just understanding of the Modernist ethos." - Marjorie Perloff, Professor Emerita of English at Stanford University, USA By theorising the idea of 'formative tensions' between cultural Modernism and Christianity, and by in-depth case studies of James Joyce, David Jones, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden, Samuel Beckett, the book argues that no coherent account of Modernism can ignore the continuing impact of Christianity. Contents: 1. Rethinking ‘Modernism and Christianity’ * 2. Catholic Modernisms: James Joyce and David Jones * 3. Old Dogmas for a New Crisis? Hell, Usury and Incarnation in T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and W. H.

Emily S. Davis, University of Delaware, USA "In globalizing the formulaic provincialisms of traditional genre critique, from Egypt and Palestine, to South Africa, South Asia, and the West Indies, from the 1980s anti-apartheid struggle to the 2011 Arab uprisings, Davis's critical textual readings offer a provocatively uncomfortable combination of romance and politics." - Barbara Harlow, Louann and Larry Temple Centennial Professor of English Literature, University of Texas at Austin, USA Rethinking the Romance Genre examines why the romance genre has proven such an irresistible form for contemporary writers and filmmakers as they approach global issues.

Hulan lucidly integrates theoretical and material aspects of archival research. Her analysis of writers' uses of textual and oral records and their creation of fictional documents, alongside close examination of the writers' own archives, casts fresh light on the different strategies developed by a wide range of late twentieth-century literary authors to narrate the past." - Carole Gerson, Professor of English, Simon Fraser University, Canada Canadian Historical Writing presents an archaeology of contemporary Canadian historical writing within the theory and practice of historiography.

Lionel Gossman, Princeton University, USA "Through a presentation and analysis of aspects of the life of the French writer André Maurois, Gossman's book sheds light on an impressive number of crucial historical, political, and cultural problems faced by France from World War I through the Cold War. Understated, suggestive, and balanced in its approach to a number of controversial issues, it succeeds in showing the interest in the life of a once popular, but now largely forgotten writer, whose previous celebrity, according to a contemporary of Maurois cited by Professor Gossman, had by the 1970s 'collapsed like a soufflé.' This book could very well have the effect of encouraging the soufflé to rise again, even if undoubtedly not to its original height." David Carroll, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Irvine, USA Respected by his peers and hugely successful internationally in his own time, André Maurois is now hardly read. Moderate and conciliatory in everything, including his literary style, he appealed to the educated reader of his time, but did those very qualities prevent him from achieving lasting distinction and impact?

LITERARY HISTORY AND REFERENCE New Directions in the History of the Novel Edited by Patrick Parrinder, Andrew Nash, Nicola Wilson, all at University of Reading, UK

A Tale in Two Cities Fanny Burney and Adèle, Comtesse de Boigne Brian Unwin, London, UK "Paris and London, during the tumultuous years of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, are the background for a linked biography of two remarkable diarists, Fanny Burney and Adele de Boigne. Both were caught up in the French revolution and the Napoleonic wars, Adele de Boigne escaping to England from revolutionary Paris, Fanny Burney trapped in France with her French husband after the Peace of Amiens. Brian Unwin skilfully interweaves their stories, drawing on their journals to give a fascinating picture, not only of their private dramas, but of many of the leading figures of the age." – Linda Kelly, author of Holland House

A History of the Screenplay Steven Price, Bangor University, UK "Steven Price has done a terrific job at looking at how the screenplay developed. No, it's not another collection of funny stories about drunken screenwriters,but something more revealing: the ways not only the Americans developed useful formats (yes, there have always been more than one), but how the French, Russians and the Italians dealt with the same problems. ... And Price brings us up to date with screenplays for the digital age. This is a great addition to the research being done on screenwriting." - Tom Stempel, author of FrameWork: A History of Screenwriting in the American Film The screenplay is currently the focus of extensive critical re-evaluation, however, as yet there has been no comprehensive study of its historical development. International in scope and placing emphasis on the development and variety of screenplay texts themselves, this book will be an important and innovative addition to the current literature.

Benjamin Bennett, University of Virginia, USA "Bennett's original and erudite readings of poems by eight great poets are a continuing source of intellectual elation. With rare critical intensity, Bennett brings to light the nuances of masterpieces written in five languages even en route to theorizing their imperfection." - Stanley Corngold , Professor Emeritus of German and Comparative Literature, Princeton University, USA Treating the work of Sappho, Goethe, Blake, Hölderlin, Verlaine, George, Mörike, and Yeats in detail, Bennett makes the provocative argument that the nature of lyric poetry in the West has an element of defectiveness. This study delves into the irresolvable conflict between a poem's guise as quasi-architectural stasis and quasi-musical kinesis. Contents: Introduction * PART I: ELEMENTAL POETRY * 1.

Queer Excess in Stein, Ashbery, Schuyler, and Goldsmith Christopher Schmidt, The City University of New York, LaGuardia, USA "Through brilliant uses of Queer Theory, Taylorism and its dietary subset Fletcherism, and much else of theoretical/historical interest, Christopher Schmidt's The Poetics of Waste forges powerful new connections and traces salient divergences among Stein's erotic poetry, Ashbery's undervalued 'scrapbook,' Schuyler's 'camp waste management' and writing by two tantalizingly different Conceptualists. Figuring waste as oppositional resource, queer fertility, Schmidt demonstrates the remarkable volatility of categories like efficiency and excess, reduction and proliferation." - Thomas Fink, LaGuardia Community College, USA and author of 'A Different Sense of Power': Problems of Community in Late Twentieth-Century U.S. Poetry

POETRY T.S. Eliot

Reading Poetry

The Poet as Christian

Peter Barry, Aberystwyth University, UK "Peter Barry's Reading Poetry succeeds in the most difficult of tasks: it is at once introductory, sure to help novice students of poetry find their way through what may seem a bewildering maze of 'poetic' features, and yet advanced enough to challenge the most sophisticated reader. It moves outward from the poetry building blocks – line, meter, image – to questions of poetry and visuality, poetry and spacetime, poetry and theory. Commonsensical, wise, witty and open-minded, Reading Poetry draws on an impressively wide set of examples, from Thomas Wyatt to such experimentalists as Tom Raworth. This wonderfully unpretentious book is a classic of its kind." -Professor Marjorie Perloff, Stanford University

G. Douglas Atkins, University of Kansas, USA "In richly adventurous and poetic prose, G. Douglas Atkins addresses a topic that deserves more scholarly attention: the incarnational impulse of Eliot's major poems." -Mark Jones, Professor of English, Trinity Christian College, USA By comparing and contrasting the pre-conversion and the post-conversion poetics and poetic practices of T.S. Eliot, this book elucidates the responsibilities and opportunities for a poet who is also Christian. This book is the second in a trilogy which includes T.S. Eliot, Lancelot Andrewes, and the Word. Contents: 1. Toward ‘a full juice of meaning’: Eliot’s Christian Poetics in Practice * 2. The Present Unattended: ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock’ and The Waste Land * 3. ‘For thy closer contact’: ‘Gerontion,’ ‘The Hollow Men,’ and Ash-Wednesday: Six Poems * 4.

POETRY Phillis Wheatley’s Miltonic Poetics

Blake’s Drama

Paula Loscocco, Lehman College, CUNY, USA

Theatre, Performance and Identity in the Illuminated Books

Explores how in her 1773 Poems, the African-born slave poet Phillis Wheatley, uses John Milton's poetry to develop an idealistic vision of an emerging Anglo-American republic comprised of Britons, Africans, Native Americans, and women. This study argues for the Miltonic Wheatley as the founding mother of Anglo-American culture, broadly defined.

Diane Piccitto, independent scholar, UK "This book will change the way we think about Blake. Diane Piccitto shows what happens when Blake's own vivid concept of 'Visionary Forms Dramatic' is taken seriously. She applies the idea of drama to Blake's illuminated books both historically and conceptually, drawing equal insight from the context of late eighteenth-century theatre and more unexpected comparisons such as the theories of Brecht and Stanislavsky, and the dramatic basis of Althusser's concept of interpellation. The interpretive results are impressive, especially in combination with Piccitto's own bright constellations of close reading. Her daring yet well founded arguments offer rich food for thought not only for Blakeans but also for those interested in the ongoing redefinition of Romantic drama, as well as larger issues of performance and identity, reader response, and the interactions of image and text." – Tristanne Connolly, University of Waterloo, Canada

Rethinking Intra-colonial Migrations in a Pan-Caribbean Context Yolanda Martínez-San Miguel, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, USA "This is a bold and imaginative rupturing of current colonial metanarratives of nation, race, and sexual identities. By reading history, fiction, and colonial mentalities against the grain, with a skillful navigation of disciplinary, geographical, and linguistic boundaries, Yolanda Martínez-San Miguel conjures up a far more variegated understanding of Caribbean ontology."

The Post-Columbus Syndrome Identities, Cultural Nationalism, and Commemorations in the Caribbean

Fabienne Viala, University of Warwick, UK The islands of the Caribbean demonstrated a complex and heterogeneous response to the 500th anniversary of the 'Discovery of the New World'. Feeling threatened by new forms of exploitation at the time, they responded by narrating their heritage and commemorating their hybrid identity in scenarios meant to protect a sense of national belonging. Columbus, as a hero of both Spanish and colonial history, became a reservoir of metaphors which confront anxieties of the present with myths of the past. Commissions to debate the meaning of Columbus’s arrival in the region were launched nationally on some islands, with different and uneven consequences in the commemorative public sphere in the Hispanic, English and French Caribbean. Jamaica condemned Columbus as a pirate; the Dominican Republic commemorated him as a Hispanic godfather, but Haiti toppled his statue. In Cuba and in Puerto Rico, the Taíno heritage was at the forefront of the commemorations, while in Guadeloupe and Martinique, Columbus was publically trialled.

POSTCOLONIAL AND WORLD LITERATURES History, Trauma, and Healing in Postcolonial Narratives Reconstructing Identities

Rumi Makers of Islamic Civilization

Now available in paperback

Annemarie Schimmel, deceased

Ogaga Ifowodo, Texas State University, USA "Ogaga Ifowodo's book is boldly ambitious in coverage and outstanding in theoretical and scholarly density. There is no question about it: this is a major contribution to African diaspora postcolonial literary and cultural studies." - Tejumola Olaniyan, Louise Durham Mead Professor, University of WisconsinMadison, USA What would it mean to read postcolonial writings under the prism of trauma? Ogaga Ifowodo tackles these questions through a psycho-social examination of the lingering impact of imperialist domination, resulting in a refreshing complement to the cultural-materialist studies that dominate the field. Contents: Introduction * 1. ‘Into the Zone of Occult Instability’: Frantz Fanon, Post-Colonial Trauma and Identity * 2. Identity or Death! The Trauma of Life and Continuity in Wole Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman * 3. Experience as the Best Teacher: Trauma, Reference and Realism in Toni Morrison’s Beloved * 4. Trauma and Experience: LaCapra’s Caveat to Realists * 5. Trauma and Literary Theory * 6. ‘But How Will You Know Me?’ Trauma, Memory and Meaning * 7. Reference as Epistemic Access: Trauma’s Horizon of Meaning * 8. Conclusion: Specifying Morrison’s Locus of Referentiality * 9. ‘Till the Word and the Wound Fit’: History, Memory, and Healing of the Post-Colonial Body-Politic in Derek Walcott’s Omeros * 10. A Free-Floating Wound? Hybridity, Social Complexity and Identity * 11. ‘You all see what it’s like without roots in this world?’Acting-Out and Working-Through Trauma * 12. ‘I Felt Every Wound Pass’: From African Babble through Greek Manure to a Language that Carries its Cure * 13. Conclusion: Reading Postcolonial History as a History of Trauma

Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273) can only be described through superlatives. For Rumi is the best known and arguably the greatest exponent of the mystical tradition in Islam. The Masnavi, Rumi's longest and most fully realised poetic work remains, in the eastern lands of Islam, the most extensively read and revered text after the Qur'an. Perhaps more surprisingly, at least to those still unfamiliar with his writings, Rumi is also often cited as the most widely read poet today in the United States. The richness of his language, and his penetrating spiritual insights about the divine, mean that Rumi has an enduring capacity to transport readers from within any culture, Islamic or otherwise. Annemarie Schimmel was for many years one of Rumi's most sensitive western interpreters. Her masterfully concise and readable book - now published for the first time in English - discusses the religious and cultural background of Rumi's Sufism and the dominant strands of his imagery. Schimmel shows how Rumi's work, while timeless and with enduring cross-cultural appeal, must finally be understood as part of a wider Islamic mystical tradition, albeit an expression of that tradition which remains unsurpassed for its beauty and profundity. Contents: Publisher’s Note * Foreword * Life and Work * Rumi’s Poetical Work * The Religious Foundations * and more...

Edited by Thomas Baldwin, University of Kent, UK, James Fowler, University of Kent, UK, Ana de Medeiros, University of Kent, UK "Questions of Influence is a major contribution to, and updating of, our understanding of the ways in which 'influence' works not only in literature but also in other art-forms, and in relationships between these. Exploring 'influence' in a newly sophisticated way, the book draws on a wide range of European writers, artists and thinkers, and showcases numerous talented critics working at the cutting edge of their fields. It will be indispensable both for those working on the individual figures who form the case studies of the book and for those who want to re-conceptualise the slippery concept of influence and the lateral, as well as direct, modes in which it operates." - Alison Finch, University of Cambridge, UK This collection engages with questions of influence, a vexed and problematic concept whose intellectual history is both ancient and vast. It examines a range of texts written in French, sometimes in dialogue with visual/musical works, drawn mainly from the eighteenth century onwards. Connections are made with related work in a range of disciplines. Contents: Introduction: Influence: Form, Subjects Time; Daniel Brewer * 1.

Representations of Asia in Chinese American Literature

Walter S. H. Lim, National University of Singapore "In refreshingly lucid analyses illuminating a broad range of texts that cross genre, gender, and national categories, Narratives of Diaspora is an important contribution to U.S. and ethnic literary studies, drawing on a keenly historicized postcolonial and transnational scholarship to engage seamlessly with the works of diasporic Chinese Americans from geopolitical territories such as Southeast Asia and China that are often viewed as separate." - Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Research Professor, University of California Santa Barbara, USA and author of Among the White Moon Faces Chinese American authors often find it necessary to represent Asian history in their literary works. Tracing the development of the literary production of Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Lisa See, and Russell Leong, among others, this book captures the effects of international politics and globalization on Chinese American diasporic consciousness.

Empire and Sovereignty in the British Mughal Imagination, 1784-1908

Sandra Ponzanesi, Utrecht University, The Netherlands "In the many 'scattered speculations' on a robust global marketplace for cultural exotica, repeatedly the stress has fallen on the appropriation, reification, and commodification of postcolonial artworks. Sandra Ponzanesi's The Postcolonial Cultural Industry offers a refreshingly new take on the contemporary scene. Even as she investigates precisely how culture industries (film studios to presses) capitalize on all things postcolonial, Ponzanesi highlights those artworks that routinely escape commodification through their canny renegotiation of the culture games. A must read for scholars of cultural globalization, The Postcolonial Cultural Industry is a critically astute and intellectually lively book on the political economy of postcolonial studies." - Bishnupriya Ghosh, University of California, USA The Postcolonial Cultural Industry makes a timely intervention into the field of postcolonial studies by unpacking its relation to the cultural industry. It unearths the role of literary prizes, the adaptation industry and the marketing of ethnic bestsellers as new globalization strategies that connect postcolonial artworks to the market place.

POSTCOLONIAL AND WORLD LITERATURES Conversations in Postcolonial Thought Edited by Katy P. Sian, School of Sociology and Social Policy, University of Leeds, UK

Transcultural Aesthetics in the Plays of Gao Xingjian

Based on original material, this book offers a series of 12 conversational interviews with a diverse set of postcolonial thinkers from across the globe in the social sciences and humanities. Using a biographical approach to map out life histories, this book not only examines the key ideas of the thinkers interviewed, but it also invites readers to share their personal journeys to help one understand the experiences that led to their work within the field. Discussing topics ranging from Bob Marley to the Black Panthers, Fanon to feminism, anti-apartheid to the academy, Checkpoint Charlie to climate change, and Wittgenstein to the war on terror, this book uncovers a set of thought provoking adventures about intellect, resistance and empowerment. The selection of thinkers included within this text is done so not with the aim to offer an encyclopedic index, but rather, to show how postcolonial thought as a broader concern can been found across a range of disciplines.

Todd J. Coulter, Colby College, USA Gao Xingjian has been lauded for his inventive use of Chinese culture in his paintings, plays, and cinema, however he denies that his current work participates in any notion of Chinese. This book traces the development of these forms and how they relate and interact in the French language plays of the Nobel Laureate.

The Life of a Kashmiri Woman

Christopher Warnes, University of Cambridge, UK "Clearly in touch with the central voices in this dialogue...Warnes achieves the task for which he aims. In the process, he composes a text that will be useful to both novice and experienced critics of magical realism, as well as scholars of postcolonial and twentieth-century literature more broadly" - Kim Sasser, University of Edinburgh, UK, Interventions This book rethinks the origins and nature of magical realism and provides detailed readings of key novels by Asturias, Carpentier, García Márquez, Rushdie, and Okri. Identifying two different strands of the mode, one characterized by faith, the other by irreverence, Warnes makes available a new vocabulary for the discussion of magical realism.

Confronted with apartheid, dictatorship or the sheer scale of global economics, realism can no longer function with the certainties of the nineteenth century. Free Realist Style considers how the style of the realist novel changes as its epistemological horizons narrow. Contents: Introduction * 1. The Form of Emergence: George Lamming’s The Emigrants * 2.

GENDER STUDIES IN LITERATURE Forging Shoah Memories

Desire Between Women in Caribbean Literature

Italian Women Writers, Jewish Identity, and the Holocaust

Keja L. Valens, Salem State University, USA "Desire Between Women in Caribbean Literature ranges effortlessly and impressively across Francophone, Hispanic, and Anglophone Caribbean literary worlds in order to reveal a much more inclusive model of sexual relations and desires between women than is commonly anticipated or discussed. Valens's comparative methodology and her emphasis on plural and plastic sexual behaviours work together to narrate a regional female erotic culture through literature that makes an insightful contribution to Caribbean sexuality studies." - Alison Donnell, Professor of Modern Literatures in English, University of Reading, UK, and author of Twentieth Century Caribbean Literature: Critical Moments in Anglophone Literary History

Stefania Lucamante, Catholic University of America, USA Despite an outpouring in recent years of history and cultural criticism related to the Holocaust, Italian women’s literary representations and testimonies have not received their proper due. This project fills this gap by analyzing Italian women’s writing from a variety of genres, all set against a complex historical backdrop. Contents: 1. Women Writing the Shoah * 2.

Marta Lamas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México Winner of the 2012 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book award!!!

This translated collection of four of Lamas’s key essays, many of which have been circulating for years throughout Latin America, particularly in her home nation of Mexico, provides English readers an essential if not classical set of insights into what Lamas calls the ‘transmissions and retransmissions’ of feminist thought that links psychoanalysis to Marxism and anthropology . . . [The book] finally brings marginalized Latin American intellectualism north where it is sorely needed." -CHOICE Drawing from her years of activism and anthropological scholarship, influential thinker Marta Lama offers invaluable insight into the theoretical and political tensions that have shaped Mexican feminism and the world at large.

An Anthology of Seventeenth-Century Women's Writing

An Ambiguous Affair

Edited by Rachel Adcock, Loughborough University, UK, Sara Read, Loughborough University, UK, Anna Warzycha, Loughborough University, UK

Jenny Björklund, Uppsala University, Sweden "Jenny Björklund traces the theme of lesbianism in Swedish literature in a beautifully systematic way, covering the developments of the past seventyfive years. As the book itself claims, there are many assumptions about Sweden regarding its progressiveness on gender issues, and Björklund provides valuable political and historical contexts in order to both correct and support some of these assumptions." - Susan Brantly, Professor of Scandinavian Studies, University of WisconsinMadison, USA

This anthology makes accessible to readers ten little-known and under-studied works by seventeenth-century women (edited from manuscript and print) that explore the relationship between spiritual and physical health in the period.

Women’s Poetry and Popular Culture

Marsha Bryant, University of Florida, paperback USA "Bryant (Univ. of Florida) offers a lively interrogation of 'women's poetry' situated within and outside of constructions of popular, contemporary Western culture. Coalescing the poetry of H.D., Stevie Smith, Sylvia Plath, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Carol Ann Duffy with the complexities of a mainstream market comprising domestic advertising, juvenile literature, film, and tabloid journalism, Bryant's provocative work refutes historical conceptions of women's poetry as oppositional to popular culture. Rather, this refreshing fusion of feminist and cultural studies probes the dynamics of women infusing popular culture with poetry written by 'cultural insiders' to chronicle this delicate and complex interplay of popular culture and women's poetry.

GENDER STUDIES IN LITERATURE British Women’s Life Writing, 1760-1840

Alice Munro’s Narrative Art

Friendship, Community, and Collaboration

Isla Duncan, University of Chichester, UK "Duncan shows why Munro's seemingly quiet fiction leaves the reader silent as well, barely understanding how in such simple stories Munro creates tension, snap, verve, wildness. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - CHOICE

Amy Culley, University of Lincoln, UK "This book productively deploys the more capacious conceptual model of life-writing to take account of the diverse ways in which women narrated their lives, through print and manuscript, emphasising themes of community, textual sociability and generational interaction. There is no book that applies the methodology of 'lifewriting studies' to 18th and 19th century women in this way. The book has a number of interdisciplinary strengths, appealing to scholars in history, gender studies, literary studies, French Revolution studies, celebrity studies and life writing studies." – Elizabeth Eger, Kings College London, UK British Women's Life Writing, 1760-1840 brings together for the first time a wide range of print and manuscript sources to demonstrate women's innovative approach to self-representation. It examines canonical writers, such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Robinson, and Helen Maria Williams, amongst others.

A Study of Narrative Drift Mariah Devereux Herbeck, Boise State University, USA "Wandering Women in French Film and Literature represents an intriguing exploration of a variety of approaches used to enable female drifters to escape the clutches of male narrative and unmask dubious 'absolute male narrative authority.' The discussion of fiction and film together, with a focus on female narratives and narratives of females, is a significant contribution to the field of twentieth-century literature and cinema studies." - Michael Gott, University of Cincinnati, USA How and when can a narrative agent or voice be considered unreliable? What happens when narrative authority fails and, just as importantly, why does it?

GENDER STUDIES IN LITERATURE The Postfeminist Biopic

Gender and Lynching

Narrating the Lives of Plath, Kahlo, Woolf and Austen

The Politics of Memory

Bronwyn Polaschek, Independent Researcher, New Zealand

Edited by Evelyn M. Simien, University of Connecticut, USA "By examining the various roles that women, mostly black but some white, played in the history of lynching, the collection does well to expose and emend the gender and racial bias of our visual cognition." - Signs

This book contributes to the growing literature on the biopic genre by outlining and exploring the conventions of the postfeminist biopic. It does so by analyzing recent films about the lives of famous women including Sylvia Plath, Frida Kahlo, Virginia Woolf and Jane Austen.

The powerful imagery of lynching is likely to be with us for long time, and with it, a desire for deeper understanding. Where much of the scholarship on lynching and its victims has focused on African American men, Gender and Lynching centers African American women and reclaims their life stories via oral history and community narratives.

CRITICAL APPROACHES TO CHILDREN’S LITERATURE Edited by Kerry Mallan, Professor, School of Cultural & Language Studies in Education, Queensland University of Technology, Australia & Clare Bradford, Professor of Literary Studies, Deakin University, Australia

Technology and Identity in Young Adult Fiction The Posthuman Subject Victoria Flanagan, Macquarie University, USA Technology and Identity in Young Adult Fiction is not a historical study or a survey of narrative plots, but takes a more conceptual approach that engages with the central ideas of posthumanism: the fragmented nature of posthuman identity, the concept of agency as distributed and collective and the role of embodiment in understandings of selfhood. Contents: Introduction * 1. Posthumanism in Young Adult Fiction * 2. Narrating Posthuman Subjectivity * 3. Digital Citizenship in the Posthuman Era * 4. Reworking the Female Subject: Technology and the Body in Posthuman Adolescent Fiction * 5. Surveillance Societies: Privacy and Power in YA fiction * 6.

CHILDREN’S LITERATURE Class, Leisure and National Identity in British Children’s Literature, 1918-1950 Hazel Sheeky Bird, Independent Scholar "This is a readable, well-researched, and remarkable re-reading of the inter-war years in British culture and children's literature. The hugely popular genres of 'camping and tramping' novels – not previously researched in such detail – and family sailing stories are linked to radical interpretations of landscape and of the British maritime tradition. The result is a fresh and original linking of key, but often unconsidered, cultural elements which provides a new and often disturbing perspective on what has been seen as a quietist period in children's literature, and a retreatist historical period generally. This is literary-cultural investigation at its best." - Peter Hunt, Cardiff University, UK This book places children's literature at the forefront of early twentieth-century debates about national identity and class relations that were expressed through the pursuit of leisure. Focusing on stories about hiking, camping and sailing, this book offers a fresh insight into a popular period of modern British cultural and political history. Contents: 1. Introduction * 2. A Very Fuzzy Set-Defining Camping and Tramping Fiction * 3. The Delights of the Open Road, Footloose and Fancy Free * 4. Landscape and Tourism in the Camping and Tramping Countryside * 5. Mapping the Geographical Imagination * 6. The Family Sailing Story * 7. England Expects: The Nelson Tradition and the Politics of Service in Naval Cadet and Family Sailing Stories * 8.

Secrets, Lies and Children’s Fiction Kerry Mallan, School of Cultural & Language Studies in Education, Queensland University of Technology, Australia "Kerry Mallan's Secrets, Lies and Children's Fiction is an important study of books that introduce young readers to the complexities of truth. Mallan offers a theoretically informed treatment of the ethical issues relating to how we communicate truthfully and duplicitously in both the private and the public spheres. She takes her theoretical acumen into her close readings of a range of contemporary (and a few more time-honoured) texts for child and young adult readerships. Her choice of texts to scrutinize includes several of the most important recent books by the likes of Brian Selznick, Daniel Handler, Suzanne Collins, and Cory Doctorow. This is a major achievement." - Roderick McGillis, Emeritus Professor of English, the University of Calgary, Canada Many children learn from a young age to tell the truth. They also learn that some lies are necessary in order to survive in a world that paradoxically values truthtelling, but practises deception. This book examines this paradox by considering how deception is often a necessary means of survival for individuals, families, governments, and animals.

GENRE FICTION American Women’s Ghost Stories in the Gilded Age

CRIME FILES Edited by Clive Bloom, Emeritus Professor, Middlesex University, UK

Dara Downey, University College Dublin, Ireland This book shows just how closely late nineteenth-century American women's ghost stories engaged with objects such as photographs, mourning paraphernalia, wallpaper and humble domestic furniture. Featuring uncanny tales from the big city to the small town and the empty prairie, it offers a new perspective on an old genre.

Late-Victorian Crime Fiction in the Shadows of Sherlock Clare Clarke, Queen’s University Belfast, UK

This book investigates the development of crime fiction in the 1880s and 1890s, challenging studies of late-Victorian crime fiction which have given undue prominence to a handful of key figures and have offered an over-simplified analytical framework, thereby overlooking the generic, moral, and formal complexities of the nascent genre.

Dime Novels and the Roots of American Detective Fiction

Jacob Held, University of Central Arkansas, USA, James South, Marquette University, USA

Pamela Bedore, University of Connecticut, USA, "It is very rare to come across work that one can describe accurately as original. Happily, this is one such occasion. The author makes an original and important argument about the relation between dime novels and American detective fiction that will have a major impact upon the field." - Garyn G. Roberts, Northwestern Michigan College, USA. This book reveals subversive representations of gender, race and class in detective dime novels (1860-1915), arguing that inherent tensions between subversive and conservative impulses—theorized as contamination and containment—explain detective fiction's ongoing popular appeal to readers and to writers such as Twain and Faulkner.

GENRE FICTION Theory of Mind and Science Fiction

PRINT CULTURE AND PUBLISHING HISTORY

Nicholas O. Pagan, University of Malaya, Malaysia "Nicholas Pagan's bold, innovative, and unusually interesting book shows that theory of mind gives us a new and powerful way of reading science-fiction (or, really, anything else). As a bonus his introduction sets out what, as far as I know, are all the neuroscientific theories about how and why we intuit the way others' minds are working. This is a book of both scope and penetration." - Norman Holland, author of Literature and the Brain, USA Theory of Mind and Science Fiction shows how theory of mind provides an exciting 'new' way to think about science fiction and, conversely, how science fiction sheds light not only on theory of mind but also empathy, morality, and the nature of our humanity.

Women Writers and the Hero of Romance Judith Wilt, Boston College, USA "Always incomparable, Judith Wilt has never been better. This revisionist genre study not of heroes or heroines exactly, but of hero-worship in a certain strain of romance fiction, is learned, scrupulous, wide-ranging, witty, confident, and captivating, full of more ideas per chapter than in many whole books, inhabiting the novels at issue from the inside out with a tenacious charm of exposition that renders a potentially controversial argument as disarming as it is startling." - Garrett Stewart, James O. Freedman Professor of Letters, University of Iowa, USA Women Writers and the Hero of Romance studies the nature of the hero and his meaning for the female seeker, or quester, in romance fiction from Wuthering Heights to Fifty Shades of Grey.

Reading Across Worlds Transnational Book Groups and the Reception of Difference James Procter, Newcastle University, UK, Bethan Benwell, University of Stirling, UK "Among the thorniest challenges in the seething subject area of book history is how meaningfully to account for the mercurial act of reading. Who reads what, when, where and how, and what do they make of their reading? These questions are especially pertinent in today's world in which diverse texts by authors from a plethora of backgrounds encounter a multiplicity of readers, who may possess much - or very little - experience of the worlds being described. By concentrating on the vocal reactions to a swathe of post-colonial texts by participants in book clubs, Procter and Benwell bye-pass the overconfident generalizations of the theorists, and present in their place a panorama of active and meaningful response. On the cusp of several sub-disciplines response theory, post-colonial studies, cultural demography - the result is as exhilarating as it is revealing. Book history will never be quite the same again." - Professor Robert Fraser, Open University, UK Combining sustained empirical analysis of reading group conversations with four case studies of classic and contemporary novels: Things Fall Apart, White Teeth, Brick Lane and Small Island, this book pursues what can be gained through a comparative approach to reading and readerships.

The New Literary Middlebrow

Ireland and the New Journalism

Tastemakers and Reading in the Twenty-First Century

Edited by Karen Steele, Texas Christian University, USA, Michael de Nie, University of West Georgia, USA "Showcasing the emergence of new media practices from the pre-revival period to the development of modernism, this thematically-divided collection presents a new understanding of a cultural and political 'revolution' on a wide range of media platforms. A pioneering work in the study of Irish journalism, it highlights the diversity of reportage and review while underpinning the links created by nineteenth-century innovations in technology, particularly those that gave rise to new forms of mass communication. This timely study of a new dawn in Irish journalism is valuable in assessing the role of the press; it also provides valuable insights on the role of journalism and the journalist for media practitioners and scholars in the twenty-first century." - Regina Uí Chollatáin, Senior Lecturer of Irish, Celtic Studies, Irish Folklore and Linguistics, University College Dublin, Ireland

Beth Driscoll, University of Melbourne, Australia The middlebrow is a dominant cultural force in the twenty-first century. This book defines the new literary middlebrow through eight key features: middle class, feminized, reverential, commercial, emotional, recreational, earnest and mediated. Case studies include Oprah's Book Club, the Man Booker Prize and the Harry Potter phenomenon.

Nischik, University of Konstanz, Germany "An admirably edited volume, The Palgrave Handbook of Comparative North American Literature is a highly useful collection that will encourage practitioners of American Studies and Canadian Studies to think of their fields as mutually enriching and not shaped by immovable geopolitical definitions. Taken together, these essays demonstrate the enormous potential derived from a look across not only physical but also disciplinary boundaries." - Christoph Irmscher, Provost Professor of English, Indiana University, USA A first of its kind, The Palgrave Handbook of Comparative North American Literature provides an overview of Comparative North American Literature, a cutting-edge discipline.

Spatial Forms in Contemporary Anglophone Literature Emily Johansen, Texas A&M University, USA "Johansen shows that the conventional wisdom equating cosmopolitanism with metropolitan life occludes other less urban locales where worldliness thrives. This intervention is smart, timely, and most exciting when it focuses on the weird species called the regional city and that ostensibly less cosmopolitan realm, the country. By reimagining the geography of cosmopolitanism, Johansen gives the concept a much needed reboot." - John Marx, Professor of English, University of California, Davis, USA Cosmopolitanism and Place considers the way contemporary Anglophone fiction connects global identities with the experience in local places. Looking at fiction set in metropolises, regional cities, and rural communities, this book argues that the everyday experience of these places produces forms of wide connections that emphasize social justice.

Edited by Nieves Pascual Soler, University of Jaén, Spain, Meredith E. Abarca, University of Texas at El Paso, USA "Editors Nieves Pascual Soler and Meredith E. Abarca offer in their collection, Rethinking Chicana/o Literature through Food: Postnational Appetites, a cornucopia of exceptional essays that apply their newly constructed theoretical paradigm based on food and food consciousness in the analysis and hermeneutics of Chicano/a literary production. The authors brilliantly posit that food preparation and consumption extant in literary discourse is a vehicle of communication encoding various acts of rebellion against marginalization and exclusion in a patriarchal nation. Foodways, Soler and Abarca splendidly and provocatively assert, provide a means of 'redefining subjectivities in postnational cultures.' This is a must-read scholarly work for those interested in the construction of national and postnational subjectivities." - María Herrera-Sobek, Associate Vice Chancellor, Professor of Chicana/o Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA As Food Studies has grown into a well-established field, literary scholars have not fully addressed the prevalent themes of food, eating, and consumption in Chicana/o literature. Here, contributors propose food consciousness as a paradigm to examine the literary discourses of Chicana/o authors as they shift from the nation to the postnation.

LITERARY AND CULTURAL THEORY The Novel-Essay, 1884-1947

The Event of Style in Literature

Stefano Ercolino, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany "Stefano Ercolino's book is a splendid rediscovery of one of the most important modern narrative genres, the novel-essay. By showing how the various authors of novel-essays - J.-K. Huysmans, Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, Robert Musil and Hermann Broch - propose a wide range of syntheses between thought and action, Ercolino's book offers a nuanced, innovative, and memorable view of modernity itself." - Thomas Pavel, Gordon J. Laing Distinguished Service Professor in French and Comparative Literature, University of Chicago, USA and author of The Lives of the Novel The novel-essay emerged in France, in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, and reached its highest formal complexity in Austria and Germany, during the interwar period. Here, Ercolino argues that it is crucial for a renovated understating of the history of the novel in modernity. Contents: Introduction * PART I * 1. Beyond Naturalist Aesthetics * 2.

Focusing on the ways we humans have represented our interactions with other animals in the modern era, and the ways such representations can matter for human and non-human lives, the collection brings to light how the experience of modernity is tied up with our real and imagined relations to other species." - Kari Weil, University Professor of Letters, Wesleyan University, USA

Serial Memoir Archiving American Lives

Lyotard, Literature and the Trauma of the differend

Nicole Stamant, Agnes Scott College, USA The rise of the serial memoir in the latter half of the twentieth century and beyond is an important and timely topic, one that has not previously been addressed in any sustained way by scholars in the field. The first critic to deal with seriality at length and in depth, Stamant makes a substantial contribution to the field. - G. Thomas Couser, Hofstra University, USA

Dylan Sawyer, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK "Working with and yet also moving beyond Lyotard's philosophy, this provocative, wide-ranging and innovative work of literary theory makes challenging and timely arguments about literature in relation to politics, ethics, suffering and – finally - silence." - Robert Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK This original study examines Jean-François Lyotard's philosophical concept of the differend and details its unexplored implications for literature. It provides a new framework with which to understand the discourse itself, from its Homeric beginnings to postmodern works by authors such as Michael Ondaatje and Jonathan Safran Foer.

LITERARY AND CULTURAL THEORY Affective Disorder and the Writing Life

Kazuo Ishiguro and Memory

The Melancholic Muse

Yugin Teo, University of Sussex, UK

Edited by Stephanie Horton, Georgia State University, USA "The combination of personal and academic voices works really well. An academic perspective is set against the raw battle to write despite the ravages of mood turbulence. I particularly enjoyed the range of texts discussed and the fresh, sometimes haunting, observations that build on the work of established commentators, fetch up new chills from biographical depths or set out positives to living with what society might consider 'disordered minds'." - Professor Paul Crawford, University of Nottingham, UK Affective Disorder and the Writing Life interrogates the mythos of the 'mad writer' through lived experience, literary analysis, writerly reflection and contemporary neuroscience. It explores how affective disorders colour, drive and sometimes silence the writing mind – and how affective difference has always informed the literary imagination. Contents: PART I: ‘COULD IT BE MADNESS, THIS?’ AFFECTIVE DIFFERENCE AND THE WORK OF COMPOSITION * 1. ‘What Ceremony of Words Can Patch the Havoc?’: Writing, Madness, and Neurodiversity; Stephanie Stone Horton * 2.

Geocritical Explorations Space, Place, and Mapping in Literary and Cultural Studies

9781137381651

Now available in paperback

Edited by Robert T. Tally Jr., Texas State University, USA ‘Ranging across the cartography, ecology, insularity, frontiers, topography, and many other aspects of places on five different continents as figured in fiction and nonfiction, poetry and prose, the essays in this volume demonstrate that place is never a simple matter, just a neglected one. They teach us fruitful ways to attend to place in literature, and thereby to recover its role in the making of our world.’ - Ricardo Padrón, Associate Professor of Spanish, University of Virginia, USA and author of The Spacious Word In recent years the spatial turn in literary and cultural studies has opened up new ways of looking at the interactions among writers, readers, texts, and place. Geocritical Explorations provides a succinct overview of geocriticism and a point of departure for further exploration.

An innovative study examining the work of memory in Kazuo Ishiguro's novels. Drawing from Paul Ricoeur's writing on memory, and a number of theorists on mourning, trauma and collective memory, this study introduces a unique conceptual framework that investigates the distinctive and cathartic work of memory that is inherent in Ishiguro's novels.

Stylistic Approaches to Nigerian Fiction Daria Tunca, University of Liège, Belgium "In discussing both well-known and less familiar writers who belong to the 'post-Achebean' generation of Nigerian writing from the perspective of what she terms 'African stylistics', Stylistic Approaches to Nigerian Fiction fills a notable gap in research. This book is distinguished by the author's concern to relate stylistic analysis to social and cultural specificities, by her exemplary exposition of the theories to which she has recourse, and by an eloquent lightness of touch that makes reading her work a pleasure. Stylistic Approaches to Nigerian Fiction deserves recognition in the wider field of postcolonial writing." – Professor Geoffrey Davis, RWTH Aachen University, Germany Drawing on the discipline of stylistics, this book introduces a series of methodological tools and applies them to works by well-known Nigerian writers, including Abani, Adichie and Okri. In doing so, it demonstrates how attention to form fosters understanding of content in their work, as well as in African and postcolonial literatures more widely.

Reading the Graphic Surface

An Informalist Approach

The Presence of the Book in Prose Fiction

Bryan Vescio, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, USA "A clear, fair-minded, lively, and above all persuasive attempt to reinvent criticism. A splendid book." - Mark Edmundson, University Professor of English, University of Virginia, USA
