INTRODUCTORY TEXTBOOKS • CRITICAL EDITIONS AND TEXTS

Literature and Science

The British Short Story

Charlotte Sleigh, Senior Lecturer in History of Science, University of Kent, UK

‘Charlotte Sleigh’s elegant book will appeal to general readers and scholars for its useful historical survey of literary works about science and its engaging analysis of literary responses to science.

I look forward to including it as a foundational text in my university courses.’ - Carol Colatrella, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA ‘...an erudite and eloquent introduction to a fascinating field.’ - The Guardian The growing field of literature and science is for the first time given a fully theorized overview.

Using case studies from a three hundred year history, Sleigh focuses on literary form and argues that novels did not just reflect or inform areas of science, but were part of a broader, ongoing cultural negotiation about how to read things.

MEDIEVAL LITERATURE

Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog Medieval Studies and New Media Brantley L. Bryant, Assistant Professor of English, Sonoma State University, USA, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, Associate Professor of English, George Washington University, USA, Robert W. Hanning, Professor Emeritus of English, Columbia University, USA and Bonnie Wheeler, Associate Professor and Director of Medieval Studies, Southern Methodist University, USA

‘There is a tendency to assume that anything that happened in history is not funny. Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog performs the vital service of showing that the Middle Ages can be fun, and, as a side effect, reminding us that people were as capable of laughing in the fourteenth-century as we are today...maybe more so.’ - Terry Jones, Actor and Comedian

Palimpsests and the Literary Imagination of Medieval England Collected Essays Edited by Raeleen Chai-Elsholz, Independent Scholar and Technical Translator, Tatjana Silec, Assistant Professor and Leo Carruthers, Professor of English both at Sorbonne, France

Witnesses to the disappearance of a text, palimpsest manuscripts bear the marks of their own genesis, with their original inscription rubbed out and written over on the same parchment. This collection explores analogies of erasure and rewriting observed in editorial and literary practices underlying the production of texts from medieval England.

Miriamne Ara Krummel challenges the accepted history of the English Middle Ages as a monolithic age of Christian faith. By cataloguing and explicating the complex depictions of semitisms to be found in medieval literature and material culture, this volume argues that Jews were always present in medieval England.

The Lesbian Premodern Edited by Noreen Giffney, Lecturer in Women’s Studies, Department of Sociology, University of Limerick, Republic of Ireland, Michelle M.

Shakespeare

Why Shakespeare?

SHAKESPEARE

Catherine Belsey, University of Wales, UK

Shakespeare’s Comedies

‘An example of that rare beast, genuinely popular literary criticism...The book is both a fascinating guide to the folk tale sources of the plays, and, of all things, a most accessible and original post-structuralist critique.’ - Professional Journal of the National Association for the Teaching of English

Kiernan Ryan, Professor of English, Royal Holloway University of London, UK and Fellow of Murray Edwards College, UK

In this groundbreaking book one of the most original and compelling voices in contemporary Shakespeare criticism undertakes a detailed study of the extraordinary comedies Shakespeare wrote during his first decade as a dramatist.

Lively and readable, Ryan lets each play speak for itself, transforming our understanding of Shakespearean comedy.

Contents: Preface / Killing Time: The Comedy of Errors / ‘A Kind of History’: The Taming of the Shrew / Dancing Leviathans: The Two Gentlemen of Verona / ‘Merry Days of Desolation’: Love’s Labours Lost / The Seventh Man: A Midsummer Night’s Dream / ‘The Deed of Kind’: The Merchant of Venice / ‘Pribbles and Prabbles’: The Merry Wives of Windsor / ‘Strange Misprison’: Much Ado About Nothing / ‘Ducdame’: As You Like It / ‘Nothing that is so, is so’: Twelfth Night / Works Cited / Index April 2009 Hardback Paperback

Senses, Embodiment and Cognition Edited by Lowell Gallagher, Associate Professor, Department of English, University of California, USA and Shankar Raman, Associate Professor, Literature Faculty, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA 280pp £50.00

Why is Shakespeare as highly regarded now as he ever has been? This book’s answer to this question counters claims that Shakespeare’s iconic status is no more than an accident of history. The plays, Belsey argues, entice us into a world we recognize by retelling traditional fairy tales with a difference, each chapter providing a detailed reading.

‘... a reference work to be reckoned with.’

- Robert Shore, Around the Globe

A Directory of Shakespeare in Performance

by John O’Connor, Senior Visiting Lecturer for Cornell University, USA and Katharine Goodland, Associate Professor of English at the City University of New York’s College of Staten Island, USA This three volume set contains detailed listings of all major English-language productions of Shakespeare plays on stage and screen from 1970 to the early twenty-first century in the UK, the USA and Canada.

Designed to give students first-hand knowledge of the cultural and historical contexts out of which Shakespeare’s work emerges, The Bedford Shakespeare Series facilitates a variety of approaches to Shakespeare. Each volume provides an authoritative edition of a widely taught play accompanied by an intriguing collection of thematically arranged historical and cultural documents (modernized and annotated) - such as maps, illustrations, facsimiles of quartos and the first folio, excerpts from conduct books, legal writings, statutes, popular ballads, homilies, and playhouse records. Each volume also includes a general introduction, glosses for the play, an introduction to each thematic unit, a headnote and annotations for each document, illustrations, a bibliography, and an index.

The Winter’s Tale Texts and Contexts William Shakespeare

‘Some critical studies are full of insight, but not many of them are necessary. Radical Tragedy ranks among the necessary critical interventions of our time.’ - From the Foreword by Terry Eagleton Radical Tragedy is a landmark study of the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries and a classic of cultural materialist thought. The reissued third edition features a candid and inspiring new Preface by the author in which he explains his reasons for excluding Othello from his original discussion. The main text has also now been corrected.

- Robert Shore, Around the Globe

A Directory of Shakespeare in Performance

by John O’Connor, Senior Visiting Lecturer for Cornell University, USA and Katharine Goodland, Associate Professor of English at the City University of New York’s College of Staten Island, USA This three volume set contains detailed listings of all major English-language productions of Shakespeare plays on stage and screen from 1970 to the early twenty-first century in the UK, the USA and Canada.

Designed to give students first-hand knowledge of the cultural and historical contexts out of which Shakespeare’s work emerges, The Bedford Shakespeare Series facilitates a variety of approaches to Shakespeare. Each volume provides an authoritative edition of a widely taught play accompanied by an intriguing collection of thematically arranged historical and cultural documents (modernized and annotated) - such as maps, illustrations, facsimiles of quartos and the first folio, excerpts from conduct books, legal writings, statutes, popular ballads, homilies, and playhouse records. Each volume also includes a general introduction, glosses for the play, an introduction to each thematic unit, a headnote and annotations for each document, illustrations, a bibliography, and an index.

The Winter’s Tale Texts and Contexts William Shakespeare

‘Some critical studies are full of insight, but not many of them are necessary. Radical Tragedy ranks among the necessary critical interventions of our time.’ - From the Foreword by Terry Eagleton Radical Tragedy is a landmark study of the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries and a classic of cultural materialist thought. The reissued third edition features a candid and inspiring new Preface by the author in which he explains his reasons for excluding Othello from his original discussion. The main text has also now been corrected.

Representations of Elizabeth I in Early Modern Culture Edited by Alessandra Petrina, Associate Professor of English Literature, Università degli Studi di Padova, Italy and Laura Tosi, Associate Professor of English Literature, Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italy

Sarah Carter, Independent Scholar, UK

by Shakespeare, Middleton, Heywood, Marlowe and Marston. With a focus on sexual violence, homosexuality, incest and idolatry, Carter analyzes how depictions of mythology represent radical ideas concerning gender and sexuality.

Edmund Spenser’s censored attacks on Lord Burghley (Elizabeth I’s powerful first minister) serve as the basis for a reassessment of the poet’s mid-career, challenging the dates of canonical texts, the social and personal contexts for scandalous topical allegories, and the new historicist portrait of Spenser’s ‘worship’ of power and state ideology.

'Perhaps the strongest and most unique feature of this work is the humaneness of its scholarship, which causes the reader to share the deep interest and compassion the authors evidently feel for their subjects.’ - Tristanne Connolly, Assistant Professor of English, St. Jerome’s University, University of Waterloo, Canada Arising from a research project on depression in the Eighteenth-century, this book discusses the experience of depressive states both in terms of existing modes of thought and expression, and of attempts to describe and live with suffering.

It also asks what present-day society can learn about depression from the Eighteenth-century experience.

Writing Romanticism

Nineteenth-Century Literature

Eric Reid Lindstrom, Assistant Professor, Department of English, University of Vermont, USA

A Sourcebook Simon Bainbridge, Professor of Romantic Studies, Lancaster University, UK

Jacqueline M. Labbe, Teacher and Researcher of British Romantic Poetry and Poetics, University of Warwick, UK

'Writing Romanticism makes an essential contribution to the study of the poetry of the early Romantic period by providing the first proper account of the artistic cross-fertilization that occurred between Charlotte Smith and William Wordsworth. A must for anyone interested in the history of English Romanticism.’ - Professor Robert Miles, University of Victoria, Canada What is ‘Wordsworthian’ Romanticism and how did it evolve? This book argues that only by reading Charlotte Smith’s poetry in tandem with William Wordsworth’s can this question be answered, demonstrating their mutual contribution to the creation of the ‘Wordsworthian’, through literary analysis and historical contextualizing of their writings.

Palgrave Key Concepts: Literature

In the Romantic period’s economics of ‘fiat’ money the legacy of romanticism involves absolutist gestures of verbal fiat. Focused on William Wordsworth, but in constant range of his poet-successors and modern critics, Romantic Fiat presents an argument for a double romantic signature of ‘let there be’ and ‘let be.’

It is during the Nineteenth-century, the age of machinery, that we begin to witness a sustained exploration of the literal and discursive entanglements of minds, bodies, machines. This book explores the impact of technology upon conceptions of language, consciousness, human cognition, and the boundaries between materialist and esoteric sciences.

Nineteenth Century Major Lives and Letters

Romanticism and the City

Adam Smith, Political Economy, and the Genre of Realism

Edited by Larry H. Peer, Professor of Comparative Literature, Brigham Young University, USA

The ‘invisible hand’, Adam Smith’s metaphor for the morality of capitalism, is explored in this text as being far more subtle and intricate than is usually understood, with many British realist fiction writers (Austen, Dickens, Gaskell, Eliot) having absorbed his model of ironic causality in complex societies and turned it to their own purposes.

Trauma, Transcendence, and Trust Wordsworth, Tennyson, and Eliot Thinking Loss Thomas Brennan, Assistant Professor of English, Saint Joseph’s University, USA

Thomas Brennan finds roots of the ‘sensibility of trauma’ by returning to the work of Wordsworth, Tennyson, and Eliot. By reading these poets of mourning through the framework of trauma, Brennan reflects on our traumatized moment and weighs two potential responses - the fantasy of transcendence and the ethic of trust.

What’s finest about this book is Wolfreys’ ability to prod us into play, opening up new possibilities for wandering inside a Hardy text.’ - James R. Kincaid, University of Southern California, USA ‘...immensely readable; the narrative is lively, convincing and written with a sense of humour.’ The Thomas Hardy Society Journal No other major author of the Nineteenth-century has arguably produced as much critical activity as Thomas Hardy.

A Literary Guide 2nd edition

A Centenary Volume of Essays

Volume 1: Aesthetic Theory and Literary Practice

Edited by Gerri Kimber, Associate Lecturer, The Open University, UK and Janet Wilson, Professor of English and Postcolonial Studies, University of Northampton, UK

Edited by Gina Potts, Research Fellow/Teaching Assistant, Queen Mary, University of London, UK and Lisa Shahriari, Research Manager, Anglia Research Services, UK

A revisionist study of Mansfield as a profoundly colonial yet daringly experimental writer, at the forefront of modernism. The essays in this volume draw on the complete journals, letters and stories, to reveal Mansfield as a modernist who transcended her artistic influences through a supreme understanding of voice, being and subjectivity.

’The openness is generous, and reveals how research ought to be: curious, unafraid to get jammed, thinking its way around obstacles, serendipitous.

This is criticism as exploration, undaunted and exhilarating.' - Jim Stewart, Times Literary Supplement

Peter Nicholls, University of Sussex, UK

‘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 Peter Nicholls provides original analytic accounts of the main Modernist movements. Close readings of key texts monitor the histories of Futurism, Expressionism, Cubism, Dadaism and Surrealism.

This edition includes discussion of the recent research trends, examination of developments in the US, and a new chapter on African-American Modernisms.

Wharton’s late and critically-neglected novels are reclaimed as experimental in form and radical in content in this book, which also suggests that her portrayal of older female characters in her last six novels anticipates contemporary unease about the cultural marginalization of the older woman in Western society.

'Confessional’ Writing and the Twentieth-Century Literary Imagination Miranda Sherwin, Independent Scholar

Far from being a unique, defining property of the confessional poets, confessionalism is a central trope of American literature. This book examines confessional writing not as a private, apolitical art, but rather one that demonstrates an engagement with the politics of literary influence, of gender relations, and of American culture more broadly.

This study of fiction produced in America in the decade following 1945 examines literature by writers such as Kerouac and Bellow. It examines how, though such fiction seemed to resolutely avoid the events and implications of World War II, it was still suffused with dread and suggestions of war in imagery and language.

Postcolonial and International Literatures

Questioning Hybridity, Postcolonialism and Globalization Amar Acheraïou, Independent Scholar

'This is a fine and timely book that contributes with new perspectives to the current concern in postcolonial and cultural studies of broadening the scope of hybridity theory...It offers new, compelling and productive ideas to theorists and students in postcolonial and globalization studies.’ - Sten Pultz Moslund, Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark Acheraïou analyzes hybridity using a theoretical, empirical approach that reorients debates on métissage and the ‘Third Space’, arguing for the decolonization of postcolonialism. Hybridity is examined in the light of globalization, indicating how postcolonial discourse could become a counter-hegemonic ethics of resistance to global neoliberal doxa.

The City of Translation Poetry and Ideology in Nineteenth-Century Colombia

ebook available from: Myilibrary, NetLibrary, Ebook Library, ebooks.com, Ebrary, Dawson ERA

Via readings of novels by J.M. Coetzee, Timothy Mo and Salman Rushdie and the later poetry of W.B. Yeats, this book reveals how postcolonial writing can encourage the enlarged sense of moral and political responsibility needed to supplant ongoing forms of imperial violence with cosmopolitan institutions, relationships and ways of thinking.

With its inclusion of original essays challenging the view of travel writing as a Eurocentric genre, this book will stand as a benchmark study of future inquiries in the field. It will revitalize the critical debate, sparking a much needed rethinking of a vibrant and highly popular but also volatile genre that has seen many changes in recent years.

Heroic Revivals from Carlyle to Yeats Geraldine Higgins, Assistant Professor of English, Emory University, USA

‘This is an extremely accessible book, written with crispness, clarity and wit, which should be of value to a range of readers: undergraduates and graduate students in Anglo-Irish literature, academic specialists in Irish studies. ...the style is sufficiently clear and free of scholarly exhibitionism that even a beginning student of the subject will be able to read it with ease.’ - Nicholas Grene, Trinity College, Dublin, Republic of Ireland This book reassesses the cultural and political dimensions of the Irish Revival’s heroic ideal and explores its implications for the construction of Irish modernity. By foregrounding the heroic ideal, it shows how the cultural landscape carved out by these writers is far from homogenous.

‘A volume like this is long overdue: a single work that not only talks about literature and film alongside each other without making either seem the poor relation, but which also makes theory work in a practical, productive, and even (dare I say it), pleasurable manner. Students, and the rest of us, should benefit hugely.’ - David Rudd, Professor of Children’s Literature, University of Bolton, UK Bringing together leading and emerging scholars, this book argues for the significance of theory for reading texts written and produced for young people. Integrating perspectives from across feminism, ecocriticism, postcolonialism and poststructuralism, it demonstrates how these inform approaches to a range of contemporary literature and film.

‘Every now and then a book comes along that changes a discipline: New World Orders in Contemporary Children’s Literature steps out of the groove of debates in Children’s Literature Studies and sets in motion a set of new ideas and areas for consideration...this is an energizing, optimistic and courageous book by four fine scholars; it will set new agendas for those who produce and study children’s literature.’

- Professor Kimberley Reynolds, Newcastle University, UK This book, now in paperback, demonstrates how contemporary children’s texts draw on utopian and dystopian tropes in their projections of possible futures, exploring ways in which children’s texts respond to social change and global politics. The book argues that children’s texts are crucially implicated in shaping the values of their readers.

Drawing from her many years of activism and anthropological scholarship, influential thinker Marta Lamas covers topics such as the political development of the feminist movement, affirmative action in the workplace, conceptual advances in regard to gender, and disagreements among feminists. Here in English for the first time, this work offers invaluable insight into the theoretical and political tensions that have shaped Mexican feminism and the world at large.

'This is an important book. It is an analysis of the novels of one of the earliest Egyptian novelists, brings out the author’s feminist concerns based on her religious knowledge, and shows a distinct Egyptian nationalism as opposed to a prior Ottoman one - long before it was fashionable to do either.' Afaf Lutfi al-Sayyid Marsot, Professor of History, University College Los Angeles, USA This book examines how the process of nationbuilding in Egypt helped transform Egypt from an Ottoman province to an Arabic speaking national community. Through the discussion of the life and works of the prominent writer `A’isha Taymur, Hatem gives insight into how literature and the changing gender roles of women and men contributed to the definition and/or development of a sense of community.

Edited by Judy A. Hayden, Associate Professor of English and Director of Women’s Studies, University of Tampa, USA

Sharon L. Jansen, author of Anne of France: Lessons for My Daughter

In this work, Jansen explores a recurring theme in writing by women: the dream of finding or creating a private and secluded retreat from the world of men. These imagined 'women’s worlds' may be very small, a single room, for example, but many women writers are much more ambitious, fantasizing about cities, even entire countries, created for and inhabited exclusively by women.

Towards a New Literary Humanism Edited by Andy Mousley, De Montfort University, UK

‘This book stands out as an intervention in post-poststructuralist debates, alongside the ‘new aesthetics’, ‘singularities’, the ‘new ethics’, and other efforts to formulate the critical trajectories of the new millennium, and will have a significant impact on the way literary studies will shape its theoretical debates in the near future.’ - Tim Woods, Aberystwyth University, UK Literature cultivates ‘deep selves’ for whom books matter because they take over from religion fundamental questions about the meaning of existence. This volume embraces and questions this perspective, whilst also developing a ‘new humanist’ critical vocabulary which specifies, and therefore opens to debate, the human significance of literature.

Narrating the Past

Geocriticism

Historiography, Memory and the Contemporary Novel

Real and Fictional Spaces Bertrand Westphal, Faculté des Lettres et des Sciences Humaines at Université de Limoges, France

Alan Robinson, Professor and Head of English, University of St Gallen, Switzerland

In recent years controversy has surrounded the narrative turn in history and the historical turn in fiction. This book clarifies what is at stake, tracing connections between historiography and life-writing, arguing that the challenges posed in representing the past illuminate issues which are central to all literary narrative.

‘Impressive in its breadth, its easy style, and its close readings, this compact book is an asset to those of us who teach the literature of war. Phillips’s command of her literature is impressive, her exposition readable and brisk.’ - Signs This text uses literature from World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, and the Iraq wars to argue that when a society labels certain human traits ‘feminine’, that society can more easily manipulate men to war. It also looks at the ways Western cultural attitudes toward sex fuel wars.

Freedom and Confinement in Modernity Kafka’s Cages Edited by A.Kiarina Kordela, Teacher, Macalester College, USA and Dimitris Vardoulakis, Teacher, University of Western Sydney, Australia

Kafka’s literary universe is organized around constellations of imprisonment. Freedom and Confinement in Modernity proposes that imprisonment does not signify a tortured state of the individual in modernity. Rather, it provides a new reading of imprisonment suggesting it allows Kafka to perform a critique of a modernity instead.

Key Concepts in Creative Writing

The Craft of Writing Poetry Stephen Dobyns, Author of over 30 novels and poetry collections, Warren Wilson College USA

'Serious but playful; stylish and true; honest yet magical - this is a comprehensive and beautifully written book about the thorny, joyous art of making poems. It is the best contemporary guide to poetry I have read.' - Professor David Morley, National Teaching Fellow, University of Warwick, UK 'He unpacks the essential kit of the trade, all the taken-for-granted tools which poets think with and work with to find out what their poems want to say: line breaks, how syllables behave, the hideand-seek of metaphor, how a poem hangs on the page like a bird in flight. En route. he enters into dialogue with a galaxy of poets, to help us listen better to poems, to read better and also maybe write better this most central of arts.' - Ruth Padel, author of Darwin - A Life in Poems and The Poem and the Journey

Story Logic and the Craft of Fiction

Matt Morrison, Lecturer, University of Westminster, UK

‘The idea of the book is very ambitious, combining as it does what is usually found in three separate volumes: the dictionary of terms, the craft manual for students and the reference work for professionals and wouldbe professionals.’ - David Fulton, Brunel University, UK A comprehensive writers’ guide to the terminology used across the creative writing industries and in the major literary movements. Packed with practical tips for honing writing skills and identifying opportunities for publication and production, it also explains the workings of publishing houses, literary agencies and producing theatres.

Christina Kallas, President of the Federation of Screenwriters in Europe

‘Smart. Thorough.

Insightful. ’ - Linda Seger, script consultant and author of Making A Good Script Great ‘...great place for any screenwriter to mine for treasure. It’s filled with insights, alternatives, stimulating exercises and springboards for your imagination.’ - David Howard, Founding Director of the Graduate Screenwriting Program at USC and author of Tools of Screenwriting ‘A most erudite, encyclopedic and wise synthesis of the craft of screenwriting, which both novice and seasoned writer would do well to investigate.

A fascinating overview of notions of drama and techniques, ancient and modern which should open writing horizons, and redefine the craft of screenwriting, inject it with the life, philosophy and emotional wisdom it increasingly lacks.’ - Jeff Gross, novelist, film director and writer of some forty screenplays Kallas proposes an original approach to writing for the screen. Both theory and method aims at exciting the imagination to inspire and dramatize stories with thematic richness, emotional depth and narrative rhythm. Accompanying exercises support the book and enable writers to create stories out of emotions and images.

Edited by Shafquat Towheed, Lecturer in Literature and W.R.Owens, Professor of English Literature, both at The Open University, UK

Bringing original research from a variety of countries and periods, this volume introduces readers to the diverse approaches used to recover the evidence of reading through history in different societies, and asks whether reading practices are always conditioned by specific local circumstances or whether broader patterns might emerge.

Becoming an Academic

Mary Deane, Senior Lecturer in Academic Writing, Centre for Academic Writing (CAW), Coventry University, UK and Peter O’Neill, London Metropolitan University, UK

Lynn McAlpine, McGill University, Canada and Gerlese Akerlind, Australian National University, Australia

Writing in the Disciplines is a growing field in which discipline-based academics, writing developers, and learning technologists collaborate to help students succeed as subject specialists.

This book places WiD in its theoretical and cultural contexts and reports on initiatives taking place at a range of UK higher education institutions.

This book draws on research in Australia, Canada, UK, and US into the experiences of doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers and new academics.

Each chapter develops research-informed implications for policy and practice to support developing academics, and concludes with commentaries by early career academics, developers and administrators.
