Shakespeare Dancing A Theatrical Study of the Plays John Russell Brown, Honorary Professor of English Literature, University College, UK

‘Shakespeare Dancing... gives the director or performer an exhilarating sense of the options open to them.’ - Samantha Ellis, Times Literary Supplement The Dancing of the title was in Shakespeare’s mind as he wrote: a physical and active imagination. This book explores the operation of the playwright’s creative mind in his most frequently performed texts and encourages readers to seek out the performance possibilities of the works for themselves. Moving beyond the study of what has happened on stage in a number of specific productions, John Russell Brown examines the entire theatrical event in which performance occurs, as well as the meeting and interaction of actors and audience, and the social and cultural contexts of the plays’ reception in the past and present.

Editing Early Modern Texts An Introduction to Principles and Practice

The Culture of the Gift in Eighteenth-Century England

Michael Hunter, Professor of History, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK

‘Michael Hunter’s impressive and welcome book is not only conciliatory but shrewd, intellectual and tightly focused. Most of all, it is generous, both to trained and to untrained editors, allowing them to learn not only how to resolve their differences with each other but with the principles of the editions they produce. Editing Early Modern Texts would make a marvellous textbook for any course in editing or the history of the book. Hunter reminds us how much fun textual scholarship and editing can be, which is a wonderful accomplishment in itself.’ - Grace Ioppolo, Journal of British Studies Contents: Introduction / Manuscripts / The Role of Print / Types of Edition / Works / Correspondence and Papers / Archives / Presenting Texts (1) Printed / Presenting Texts (2) Manuscripts / Modernized Texts / The Apparatus / Front Matter / End Matter/Appendices / Annotation / Translations / Indexing/Searching / Appendices / Alternative Methods of Transcribing a Seventeenthcentury Manuscript / A Confusion of Brackets / Separate and Combined Versions of a Revised Text: the 1597, 1612 and 1625 Versions of Francis Bacon’s Essay ‘Of Regiment of Health’ / Unmodernized and Modernized Versions of the Last Section of Chapter 47 of Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan / Peter Nidditch’s Explanation of the Evolution of his Editorial Method / Notes / Glossary / Bibliography / Index October 2008 Paperback

Famously, Blake believed that ‘without contraries’ there could be no ‘progression’. Conflict was integral to his artistic vision, and his style, but it had more to do with critical engagement than any urge to victory. The essays in this volume look at conflict as it marked Blake’s thinking on politics, religion and the visual arts.

The Palgrave Literary Dictionary of Tennyson

Tennyson was the most important poet of the Victorian age. His long life covered most of the nineteenth century, he knew the key Victorian figures and was deeply involved in Victorian science, religion, philosophy, politics and culture. His life and poetry give a unique insight into the period. For the first time, the Palgrave Literary Dictionary gives easy access, under more than 400 headings, to an enormous range of information on his poetry, his circle, the period and its contexts. We have aimed above all for readability: this is no dry reference work but includes anecdotes and lively mini-biographies. Entries range from brief factual definitions to longer, more discursive essays, covering poets, from Burns to Wordsworth, places, from America to Wales, and themes, from Friendship to War, as well as giving abundant information on individual poems and wider poetic themes. Students will quickly find the academic, biographical or critical information they need, while more general readers can browse and gain a rich and fascinating picture of the poet and his world.

It investigates how Wells utilizes his early fiction to participate in a range of topical scientific disputes and, increasingly, as a means to instigate social reform.

Thomas Hardy: The Complete Poems Thomas Hardy James Gibson, formerly Principal Lecturer in English, Christ Church College, UK

Thomas Hardy’s first love was always poetry. It was not until 1898, when he was fifty-eight years old, having already established his reputation with fourteen novels and over forty short stories, that his first book of poetry, Wessex Poems was published.

For the final thirty years of his life he abandoned fiction and devoted himself entirely to poetry. It is a tribute to his remarkable powers of creativity that he is now not only regarded as one of the most important English novelists but is also recognized as a poet of major stature and ever increasing popularity. The Complete Poems, edited by James Gibson, includes all of Hardy’s prolific output of more than nine hundred poems, complemented by a detailed notes section. Collected in this single volume are his eight books of verse, all the uncollected poems, ‘Domicilium’ and the songs from The Dynasts. This edition contains an additional poem, The Sound of Her. Contents: List of Illustrations / J.Gibson: Introduction / Domicilium / Wessex Poems and Other Verses / Poems of the Past and the Present / Poems of Pilgrimage / Miscellaneous Poems / Imitations, etc. / Retrospect / Time’s Laughingstocks and Other Verses / More Love Lyrics / A Set of Country Songs / Pieces Occasional and Various / Satires of Circumstance, Lyrics and Reveries / Poems of 1912-13 / Miscellaneous Pieces / Satires of Circumstance / Moments of Vision and Miscellaneous Verses / Poems of War and Patriotism / Finale / Late Lyrics and Earlier / Human Shows, Far Phantasies, Songs and Trifles / Winter Words in Various Moods and Metres / Previous Uncollected Poems / Notes / Index of Titles / Index of First Lines November 2001 Paperback

‘With the precision of a global positioning system, Peter Nicholls scans the width and breadth of literary modernism. This edition of his classic study provides a lucid and useful overview of the often antithetical tendencies that revolutionized the literature of Europe and America in the first decade of the twentieth century.’ - Charles Bernstein, David Gray Professor of Poetry and Letters, State University of New York at Buffalo, USA ‘When Modernisms appeared in 1995, I wrote that it was ‘the very best single study of its subject currently available’. For this edition, Nicholls has added a dazzling, compact, remarkably comprehensive chapter on African American Modernism - a chapter that dovetails beautifully with this guide’s larger narrative.

Always authoritative and yet deeply personal in its emphases and tastes, Nicholls’s remains the single best study of literary Modernism.’ - Marjorie Perloff, Sadie Dernhyam Professor Emerita, Stanford University, USA Contents: Preface to the Second Edition / List of Abbreviations / Acknowledgements / Introduction: Of a Certain Tone / Ironies of the Modern / Breaking the Rules: Symbolism in France / Decadence and the Art of Death / Paths to the Future / A Metaphysics of Modernity: Marinetti and Italian Futurism / Other Spaces: French Cubism and Russian Futurism / Cruel Structures: The Development of Expressionism / Modernity and the `Men of 1914’ / At a Tangent: Other Modernisms / African American Modernism / From Fantasy to Structure: Dada and Neo-Classicism / Other Times: The Narratives of High Modernism / Death and Desire: The Surrealist Adventure / Notes / Bibliography / Index November 2008 Hardback Paperback

The Deleuzian Literary Machines of Woolf, Lawrence and Joyce

Beatrice Monaco, Teaching Fellow, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK

How can the concepts of Deleuze and Guattari be used to unearth the ‘metaphysics’ of modernist literature? This intersection of philosophy and key literary works uses their radical concepts to draw a dynamic map of modernism that explores the confrontation of each writer with the nonhuman machine age of the early twentieth-century.

Conrad’s Eastern Vision A Vain and Floating Appearance Agnes S. K. Yeow, Lecturer in English, University of Malaya, Malaysia

This book traces the dialogic relation between Conrad’s Eastern fiction and other histories, arguing that it is in the intersections of art and history that we locate Conrad’s irony.

In a direct response to the visual culture of his times, Conrad sets up his fictional world as a hallucinated mirage stressing the veracity of his own Eastern vision.

Gillian Steinberg, Assistant Professor of English, Yeshiva University, USA

Philip Larkin, one of England’s greatest and most popular twentieth-century poets, is nonetheless widely regarded as a misanthropic, provincial recluse. This volume re-examines that critical view and argues that Larkin’s poetry, far from demonstrating his misanthropy, highlights his profound awareness of and concern for readers.

What does the triumph of the New Right mean for this type of fiction in Britain and the US? Should the liberal left seek consensus or assertion?

This book examines these issues, and assesses the state of both nations, as well as that of the contemporary novel.

This book argues for the ethical relevancy of contemporary fiction at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Through reading novels by such writers as David Foster Wallace, Richard Powers, and Irvine Welsh, this book looks at how these works seek to transform the ways that readers live in the world.

Approaches and Territories Edited by Janet Maybin, Senior Lecturer in Language and Communication and Nicola J. Watson, Senior Lecturer in English Literature, both at The Open University, UK

Beckett’s bilingual œuvre has been approached from many angles, most of which stress its autonomy from understandings of Irishness emerging from the Irish Literary Revival.

Emilie Morin shows that such autonomy is only apparent, and that Beckett’s avant-garde practices remain bound to the exigencies that govern their very development.

The Feminist Bestseller From Sex and the Single Girl to Sex and the City Imelda Whelehan, Professor of English and Women’s Studies, De Montfort University, UK

Imelda Whelehan provides an overview of popular women’s writing from the late 1960s to the present, looking at how key feminist texts such as The Women’s Room, Kinflicks and Fear of Flying have influenced popular contemporary fiction such as Bridget Jones’ Diary and Sex and the City. Whelehan reconsiders the links between the politics of feminist thought, action and writing and creative writing over the past thirty years and suggests that even so-called ‘post feminist’ writing owes an enormous debt to feminism’s second wave.

The lively but jargon-free tone of this book, coupled with an admirable ability to explain theoretical concepts clearly and concisely, will make this book attractive to students studying popular or contemporary fiction, but the focus on lesserknown writers and a forgotten genre also makes this an important work for researchers and scholars.’ - Emma Liggins, The Year’s Work in Critical and Cultural Theory September 2008 Paperback

Feminist Readings of Edith Wharton

Women Moving Dangerously

From Silence to Speech

Wendy Parkins, Senior Lecturer, Department of English, University of Otago, New Zealand

Dianne L. Chambers, Professor of English, Elmhurst College, USA

Analyzing novels by women writers from the 1850s to the 1930s, this book argues that representations of mobility offer a fruitful way to explore the location of women within modernity and, specifically, the opportunities for (or limitations on) women’s agency in this period, considering the mobility of the female subject in the city and beyond.

This close and innovative study of Edith Wharton’s major novels reveals the use of increasingly complex narrative techniques to counter the multiple forces working against women writers at the beginning of the twentieth century.
