Dialogue
The Historical Novel
Peter Womack, University of East Anglia, UK
Jerome de Groot, University of Manchester, UK
The well-established New Critical Idiom series continues to provide students with clear introductory guides to the most important critical terms in use today.
Dialogue is a form that has been used in varying ways at different cultural moments, adapting to the needs of the time and of its speakers. Playful and allusive, it has often been the mode of expression for eccentrics and provocateurs, but can also claim to be the original format for Western Philosophy.
Each book in this popular series: • provides a handy, explanatory guide to the use (and abuse) of the term
In this clear and concise guide to the historical and contemporary significance of the term, Peter Womack:
The historical novel is an enduringly popular genre that raises crucial questions about key literary concepts, fact and fiction, identity, history, reading, and writing. In this comprehensive, focused guide, Jerome de Groot offers an accessible introduction to the genre and critical debates that surround it, including:
• gives an original and distinctive overview by a leading literary and cultural critic
• considers the history of the dialogue form, looking at Platonic, Renaissance, Enlightenment and Modern examples
Series Editor: John Drakakis, University of Stirling, UK
• relates the term to the larger field of cultural representation. With a strong emphasis on clarity, lively debate and the widest possible breadth of examples, The New Critical Idiom is an indispensable guide to key topics in literary studies.
• examines questions of writing versus conversation and public versus private, and how literary dialogue moves between the two • illustrates the use of dialogue in the many ’voices’ of the novel and considers the place of dramatic dialogue
• different genres, such as sensational or ‘low’ fiction, crime novels, literary works, counterfactual writing and related issues of audience, value, and authenticity • the many functions of historical fiction, particularly the challenges it poses to accepted histories and postmodern questioning of ‘grand narratives’
• looks at the influential dialogic theories of Mikhail Bakhtin.
• the relationship of the historical novel to the wider cultural sphere with reference to historical theory, the internet, television, and film
Practical and thought-provoking, this volume is the ideal springboard for those first encountering this diverse and fascinating literary form.
• key theoretical concepts such as the authentic fallacy, postcolonialism, Marxism, queer and feminist reading.
An increasingly popular genre, addressing issues of space, language, colonialism, globalization and politics, travel writing offers the reader a movement between the familiar and the unknown.

Allegory
2ND EDITION
Jeremy Tambling, University of Manchester, UK Indispensable to an understanding of Medieval and Renaissance texts and a topic of controversy for the Romantic poets, Allegory remains a site for debate in the twenty-first-century.
Joe Moran, Liverpool John Moores University, UK Interdisciplinarity covers one of the most important changes in attitude and methodology in the history of the university. Taking the study of English as its main example, this fully updated second edition examines the ways in which we have organized knowledge into disciplines, and are now reorganizing it into new configurations as existing structures come to seem restrictive. Joe Moran traces the history and use of the term ’interdisciplinarity’, tackling such vital topics as: • interdisciplinary English
• presents a concise history of allegory, providing numerous examples from Medieval forms to the present day
• analyses the use of allegory in modernist debate and deconstruction, looking at critics such as Walter Benjamin and Paul de Man
• literary and cultural studies • ’theory’ and the disciplines • texts and histories • literature and science, space and nature. Including an updated further reading section and new concluding chapter, Interdisciplinarity is the ideal entry point into one of today’s most heated critical debates.

• explores uses made of the term ‘myth’ within the fields of literary criticism, anthropology, cultural studies, feminism, Marxism and psychoanalysis
• discussion of the key figures in humanist debate from Erasmus and Milton to Chomsky, Heidegger and Foucault • a new glossary and further reading section. With clear explanations and poignant discussions, this volume is essential reading for anyone approaching the study of humanism, post-humanism or critical theory. 2008: 198x129: 176pp Hb: 978-0-415-42064-8: £55.00 Pb: 978-0-415-42065-5: £12.99 eBook: 978-0-203-93256-8

Giorgio Agamben
Raymond Williams
Alex Murray, University of Exeter, UK
Sean Matthews, University of Nottingham, UK
Giorgio Agamben is one of the most important and controversial figures in continental philosophy and critical theory. Agamben’s work explores the intertwining of law, language, aesthetics and politics, most recently theorizing contemporary political situations through analysis of the ‘war on terror’.
Writing during the fraught post World War Two period, Raymond Williams found his voice as a novelist, playwright and television commentator as well as a literary and cultural theorist. Greatly concerned with notions of class, Williams sought to expand the traditional literary canon and understand literature through a complex relation of social forces and ideology, rather than isolated, individual readings.
Alex Murray explains Agamben’s key ideas, including: • an overview of his work from his first publication to the present • clear analysis of Agamben’s philosophy of language and life
Edward Said
Emphasising the significance of Raymond Williams in a variety of fields, Sean Matthews’ analysis includes: • an overview of his work and influences
• ethics and ‘witnessing’, illustrated by popular representations of the Holocaust from film and literature
• the impact of the media on his theories
• the relationship between Agamben’s political writing and his work on aesthetics and poetics.
Illustrating the argument with examples from literature, television and the media, this concise guide is essential for any student of literature, media, social or cultural studies.
Investigating the relationship between politics, language, literature, aesthetics and ethics, this guide is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the complex nature of modern political and cultural formations.

Emmanuel Levinas
2ND EDITION
F. R. Leavis
Seán Hand, University of Warwick, UK
Jean Baudrillard
Best known for his theories of ethics and responsibility, Emmanuel Levinas was one of the most profound and influential thinkers of the last century. In this clear, accessible guide, Seán Hand examines why Levinas is increasingly fundamental to the study of literature and culture today. Exploring the intellectual and social contexts of his work and the events that shaped it, Hand considers:
Richard J. Lane, Vancouver Island University, Canada
Richard Storer, Leeds Trinity and All Saints, UK ‘Informative, succint, circumspect; an exacting introduction to Leavis as an incisive master critic. Ideal for today’s students and general readers’ – Chris Terry, Times Higher Education F.R. Leavis is a landmark figure in twentieth-century literary criticism and theory. His outspoken and confrontational work has often divided opinion and continues to generate interest as students and critics revisit his highly influential texts. Looking closely at a representative selection of Leavis’s work, Richard Storer outlines his thinking on key topics such as: • literary theory, ‘criticism’ and culture • canon formation
• key concepts such as the ‘face’, the ‘other’, ethical consciousness and responsibility • Levinas’s work on aesthetics • the relationship of philosophy and religion in his writings • the interaction of his work with historical discussions
• modernism • close reading
• his often complex relationships with other theorists and theories.
• higher education. Exploring the responses and engaging with the controversies generated by Leavis’s work, this clear, authoritative guide highlights how Leavis remains of critical significance to twenty-first-century study of literature and culture.

Hannah Arendt Simon Swift, University of Leeds, UK Hannah Arendt’s work offers a powerful critical engagement with the cultural and philosophical crises of mid-twentieth-century Europe. Her idea of the banality of evil, made famous after her report on the trial of the Nazi war criminal, Adolf Eichmann, remains controversial to this day. In the face of 9/11 and the ’war on terror’, Arendt’s work on the politics of freedom and the rights of man in a democratic state are especially relevant. Her impassioned plea for the creation of a public sphere through free, critical thinking and dialogue provides a significant resource for contemporary thought. Covering her key ideas from The Origins of Totalitarianism and The Human Condition as well as some of her less well-known texts, and focussing in detail on Arendt’s idea of storytelling, this guide brings Arendt’s work into the twenty-first century while helping students to understand its urgent relevance for the contemporary world. 2008: 198x129: 192pp Hb: 978-0-415-42585-8: £55.00 Pb: 978-0-415-42586-5: £12.99 eBook: 978-0-203-88967-1

‘This title should serve as a base for future updates that will continue to enrich knowledge and appreciation of science fiction...Highly recommended.‘ - Choice
Edited by Bruce Clarke, Texas Tech University, USA and Manuela Rossini, Swiss Academies of the Arts and Sciences, Switzerland There has long been friction and debate between the sciences and the humanities, culminating in the ‘two cultures debate’ in which scientist and novelist C.P. Snow declared the breakdown of communication between the ‘two cultures’. This triggered many responses and debates and has led to the suggestion of a ‘third culture’ which is the area in which the humanities and natural sciences in general, but more specifically literature and science, interact; often now called the ‘posthumanities’.

Diverse groups within the science fiction community are represented, from novelists and film makers to comic book and television writers.

This groundbreaking collection offers an overview of these potential new directions including sections on agency, biopolitics, technology, biophilosophy, the aesthetic and new philosophies. It also considers new theorists such as Agamben, Arendt, Badiou and Rancière.

Each section is carefully introduced to promote accessibility, placing the essays in their context and staging a comparison between the different but ultimately related ways in which key thinkers are moving beyond poststructuralism.

The Trauma Question outlines the origins of the concept of trauma across psychiatric, legal and cultural-political sources from the 1860s to the coining of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in 1980. It further explores the nature and extent of ‘trauma culture’ from 1980 to the present, drawing upon a range of cultural practices from literature, memoirs and confessional journalism through to photography and film. The study covers a diverse range of cultural works, including writers such as Toni Morrison, Stephen King and W. G. Sebald, artists Tracey Emin, Christian Boltanski and Tracey Moffatt, and filmmakers David Lynch and Atom Egoyan. The Trauma Question offers a significant and fascinating step forward for those seeking a greater understanding of the controversial and ever-expanding field of trauma research. 2008: 234x156: 256pp Hb: 978-0-415-40272-9: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-40271-2: £17.99

Hermeneutic Theory and the Future of Queer Studies Donald E. Hall, West Virginia University, USA Reading Sexualities confronts the reigning practices, priorities, and preoccupations of queer theory and sexuality studies. Looking at a range of texts, from novels to travel narratives to Internet porn, Donald E. Hall deftly weaves the theoretical with the literary in order to: •examine the vexed ethical, critical, and political questions arising from sexual consumerism and cross-cultural encounters • read the changing landscape of sexual identity, finding great cause for optimism and enthusiastic engagement • urge readers to embrace a far-reaching dialogic practice as a mechanism for furthering radical social change. Reading Sexualities shows how our sexual desires and bases for identification are being widely challenged and changed. Drawing on hermeneutic theory and the work of Hans-Georg Gadamer, Hall argues that by approaching sexual diversity with openness and humility, we become active participants in the politically urgent process of reading the self through the perspective of the other.

Derrida’s Legacies
Modernism and Theory
Literature and Philosophy
A Critical Debate
Edited by Simon Glendinning, London School of Economics, UK and Robert Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
Edited by Stephen Ross, University of Victoria, Canada
This volume brings together some of the most well-known and highly respected commentators on the work of Jacques Derrida from Britain and America in a series of essays written to commemorate the life and come to terms with the death of one of the most important intellectual presences of our time. The sometimes personal, always insightful essays reflect on the multiple ways in which Derrida’s work has marked intellectual culture in general and the literary and philosophical culture of Britain and America in particular. The outstanding contributors offer an interdisciplinary view, investigating areas such as deconstruction, ethics, time, irony, technology, location and truth. This book provides a rich and faithful context for thinking about the significance of Derrida’s own work as an event that arrived and perhaps still remains to arrive in our time.

Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory
Modernism and Theory boldly asks what – if any – role theory has to play in the new modernist studies. Separated into three sections, each with a clear introduction, this collection of new essays from leading critics outlines ongoing debates on the nature of modernist culture. This collection: • examines aesthetic and methodological links between modernist literature and theory • addresses questions of the importance of theory to our understanding of ‘modernism’ and modernism as a literary category • considers intersections of modernism and theory within ethics, ecocriticism and the avant-garde. Concluding with an afterword from Fredric Jameson, the book makes use of an innovative dialogic format, offering a direct and engaging experience of the current debate in modernist studies.

Linda Hutcheon Renowned literary scholar Linda Hutcheon explores the ubiquity of adaptations in all their various media incarnations and challenges their constant critical denigration.

John Wrighton, University of Aberystwyth, UK The relationship between ethics, politics, and poetics is here examined by Wrighton, in the study of twentieth-century experimental American poetry. Relying upon the ethical philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, Wrighton charts the development of ethical praxis in experimental work from the Objectivists of the 1920s, through to detailed analysis of the Black Mountain and Beat writers of the post-war era, and the post-Vietnam ’Language’ poets. The poetic projects engaged - including work from Charles Olson, Gary Snyder, Allen Ginsberg, Jerome Rothenberg, and Bruce Andrews - are shown to be oppositional to the dominant political discourses of their time, re-imagining notions of democracy and community where an ontological abuse has been manifest in totalizing ideologies.

In Novels, Maps, Modernity, Eric Bulson considers the place of the reader in the fictional world of the novel, looking at how authors work to orient and disorient within imaginative space.
Literary Culture, Theory and Post-Secular Modernity Exit Capitalism explores a new path for cultural studies and re-examines key moments of British cultural and literary history. Simon During argues that the long and liberating journey towards democratic state capitalism has led to an unhappy dead-end from which there is no imaginable exit. In this context, what do the humanities look like? What’s alive and what’s dead in the culture and its heritage? It becomes clear that the contemporary world order remains imperfect not just because it is unjust but because it cannot meet ethical standards produced in a past that still knew genuine hope. Simon During emphasises the need to rethink the position of Christianity and religion in the past, and at a more concrete level, also analyses how the decline of the socialist ideal and the emergence of endgame capitalism helped to produce both modern theory and cultural studies as academic fields.

What can fiction tell us about the nature of truth and reality? In this excellent introduction to the problem of fictionalism R. M. Sainsbury covers the following key topics: • what is fiction? • realism about fictional objects, including the arguments that fictional objects are real but nonexistent; real but non-factual; real but non-concrete • the relationship between fictional characters and non-actual worlds • fictional entities as abstract artefacts • fiction and intentionality and the problem of irrealism • fictionalism about possible worlds • moral fictionalism. R. M.

When it was first published, Lyrical Ballads enraged the critics of the day: Wordsworth and Coleridge had given poetry a voice, one decidedly different to that which had been voiced before. This acclaimed Routledge Classics edition offers the opportunity to study the poems in their original contexts as they appeared to Coleridge’s and Wordsworth’s contemporaries, and includes some of their most famous poems, including Coleridge’s ‘Rime of the Ancyent Marinere’.
Shakespeare’s Ghost Writers Literature as Uncanny Causality Marjorie Garber The plays of Shakespeare are filled with ghosts - and ghost writing. In Shakespeare’s Ghost Writers, Marjorie Garber begins with an examination of the authorship controversy surrounding Shakespeare: the claim made repeatedly that the plays were ghostwritten. Garber asks what is at stake in the imputation that ’Shakespeare’ did not write the plays and argues that the plays themselves both thematize and theorize that controversy.

In The Location of Culture, he uses concepts such as mimicry, interstice, hybridity, and liminality to argue that cultural production is always most productive where it is most ambivalent. Speaking in a voice that combines intellectual ease with the belief that theory itself can contribute to practical political change, Bhabha has become one of the leading post-colonial theorists of this era. 2004: 198x129: 440pp Pb: 978-0-415-33639-0: £12.99

Edited by John McLeod, University of Leeds, UK Series: Routledge Companions The Routledge Companion to Postcolonial Studies offers a unique and up-to-date mapping of the postcolonial world, and is composed of essays as well as shorter entries for ease of reference. Introducing students to the history of the great European empires and the cultural legacies created in their wake, this book brings together an international range of contributors on such topics as: • the colonial histories of Britain, France, Spain and Portugal • the diverse postcolonial and diasporic cultural endeavours from Africa, the Americas, Australasia, Europe, and South and East Asia • the major theoretical formulations: poststructuralist, materialist, culturalist, psychological.
• sentimentality and anthropomorphism • the place of the human and the animal in a ’posthuman’ world. Making use of the work of authors as diverse as J.M. Coetzee, Joseph Conrad, Daniel Defoe, Jamaica Kincaid and V.S. Naipaul, the authors argue that human liberation will never be fully achieved without challenging how human societies have constructed themselves in hierarchical relation to other human and nonhuman communities, and without imagining new ways in which these ecologically connected groupings can be creatively transformed.

Caliban’s Voice The Transformation of English in Post-Colonial Literatures Bill Ashcroft, University of New South Wales, Australia Caliban’s Voice examines the ways in which post-colonial literatures have transformed English to redefine what we understand to be ‘English Literature’. It investigates the importance of language learning in the imperial mission, the function of language in ideas of race and place, the link between language and identity, the move from orature to literature and the significance of translation. By demonstrating the dialogue that occurs between writers and readers in literature, Bill Ashcroft argues that cultural identity is not locked up in language, but that language, even a dominant colonial language, can be transformed to convey the realities of many different cultures. 2008: 234x156: 208pp Hb: 978-0-415-47043-8: £60.00 Pb: 978-0-415-47044-5: £18.99 eBook: 978-0-203-09105-0

POSTCOLONIAL STUDIES
Book History Through Postcolonial Eyes
2ND EDITION
Rewriting the Script
Theory and Practice in Post-Colonial Literatures
Robert Fraser, Open University, UK This surprising study draws together the disparate fields of postcolonial theory and book history in a challenging and illuminating way. Robert Fraser proposes that we now look beyond the traditional methods of the Anglo-European bibliographic paradigm, and learn to appreciate instead the diversity of shapes that verbal expression has assumed across different societies. This change of attitude will encourage students and researchers to question developmentally conceived models of communication, and move instead to a re-formulation of just what is meant by a book, an author, a text. Fraser illustrates his combined approach with comparative case studies of print, script and speech cultures in South Asia and Africa, before panning out to examine conflicts and paradoxes arising in parallel contexts. 2008: 216x138: 224pp Hb: 978-0-415-40293-4: £60.00 Pb: 978-0-415-40294-1: £18.99 eBook: 978-0-203-88811-7

Feminist Visions and Queer Futures in Postcolonial Drama Community, Kinship and Citizenship Kanika Batra Series: Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies In this timely study, Batra examines contemporary drama from India, Jamaica, and Nigeria in conjunction with feminist and incipient queer movements in these countries. Postcolonial drama, Batra contends, furthers the struggle for gender justice in both these movements by contesting the idea of the heterosexual, middle class, wage-earning male as the model citizen and by suggesting alternative conceptions of citizenship premised on working class sexual identities.

Transnational Negotiations in Caribbean Diasporic Literature
The Idea of the Antipodes
Representing Mixed Race Women
Place, People, and Voices
Remitting the Text
Matthew Boyd Goldie, Rider University, USA
The “Brown Woman” in Jamaica and England from the Abolition Era to the Present
Kezia Page, Colgate University, USA
This study uses critical theory to investigate the history of how people have thought about the antipodes - the places and people on the other side of the world - from ancient Greece to present-day literature and digital media. Taking into account maps, letters, book illustrations, travel writing, poetry, and drama, Goldie reveals that the history of the idea of the antipodes might be seen as different modes or discourses: mathematical and geographical in the earliest era, cartographical and kinetic in the medieval period, social and sexual in the Early Modern, sartorial and littoral in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and bodily and humorous in the latest era. Using the theories of Eve Sedgwick, Michel Foucault, Epeli Hau‘ofa, and others, this book extends postcolonialism’s historical scope and challenges the theory’s approaches and perceptions: center-periphery, East-West, and mimicry.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Page casts light on the role of citizenship, immigration, and transnational mobility in Caribbean migrant and diaspora fiction. Page’s historical, socio-cultural study responds to the general trend in migration discourse that presents the Caribbean experience as unidirectional and uniform across the geographical spaces of home and diaspora. In particular, Page examines two socio-economic and political practices, remittance and deportation, exploring how they function as tropes in migrant literature, and as ways of theorizing such literature.

Locating Transnational Ideals Edited by Walter Goebel and Saskia Schabio, both at University of Stuttgart, Germany This volume defines versions of the transnational in their historical and cultural specificity. By ’locating,’ the contributors contextualize historical and contemporary understandings of the fluid term ’transnational,’ which vary in relation to the disciplines involved. By differentiating between various forms of transnational ideals and ideas in historical and geographical perspective since the Renaissance, the contributors aim to rediscover distinctions - for instance between transnationalisms and cosmopolitanisms - which neo-liberal transnational euphoria has tended to erase.

Sara Salih, University of Toronto, Canada This project examines the representation of ’mixed race’ female identities in colonial and postcolonial societies, from the eighteenth century to the present. Concentrating particularly on the relationship between Jamaica and England, Salih challenges contemporary theorizations of hybridity, métissage and créolité in a series of historicized, localized readings, arguing that in order to understand contemporary attitudes towards mixed race women, it is necessary to examine specific historical contexts and to trace the genealogy of racial and racist discourses. This study demonstrates the striking connections between historical and contemporary discourses of race and brownness and argues for a shift in the ways we think about, represent and discuss ’mixed race’ people.

Dennis Walder Examining prose, poetry and drama by writers including Achebe, Naipaul, Coetzee, Walcott, Krog, Fugard, and versions of Shakespeare, Walder pursues the often ambiguous paths of nostalgia as it has been represented within and beyond Europe so as to identify some of those processes of communal and individual experience that constitute the present and, by implication, the future.

Decolonizing Cultures in the Pacific Reading History and Trauma in Contemporary Fiction Susan Y. Najita, University of Michigan, USA In Decolonizing Cultures in the Pacific, Susan Y. Najita proposes that the traumatic history of contact and colonization has become a crucial means by which indigenous peoples of Oceania are reclaiming their cultures, languages, ways of knowing, and political independence. In particular, she examines how contemporary writers from Hawaii, Samoa, and Aotearoa/New Zealand remember, re-tell, and deploy this violent history in their work. As Pacific peoples negotiate their paths towards sovereignty and chart their postcolonial futures, these writers play an invaluable role in invoking and commenting upon the various uses of the histories of colonial resistance, allowing themselves and their readers to imagine new futures by exorcising the past.
This groundbreaking Reader is the first to chart significant moments in the emergence of contemporary thinking about globalization and explore their significance for and impact on literary studies. The book’s three sections look in turn at: •an overview of globalization theory and influential works in the field •the impact of globalization on literature and our understanding of the ’literary’ •how issues in globalization can be used to read specific literary texts. Containing essays by leading critics including Arjun Appadurai, Timothy Brennan, Simon Gikandi, Graham Huggan, Amitav Kumar, Franco Moretti and Gayatri Spivak, this volume outlines the relationship between globalization and literature, offering a key sourcebook for and introduction to an exciting, emerging field.

Each section offers advice and exercises as well as extracts for study and inspiration, taken from works by a diverse range of writers, from Virginia Woolf to Patricia Highsmith.
• how to stimulate creativity
Hoshang Merchant
• keeping a writer’s notebook
The book argues that there is no monolithic homosexuality; there are only homosexualities, that is, there are as many reasons for being gay as there are gays. Some people are born gay, some have gayness thrust upon them, and some do, indeed, achieve to great gayness. Representation of homosexuality/homoeroticism, as it is understood today, is thus a western import. The act and public/social discourses on same-sex love are still illegal; it is, according to many, against the Indian ‘tradition’; and a sense of ‘history’ is seriously problematic when we dig out for a past tradition of homoerotic love and desire. Hoshang Merchant, through an examination of texts, films, poetry, attempts to analyse and crack the codes of sexual (mis)conduct in contemporary India, giving short histories of the fate of several gay writers and explaining the difficulties of ‘coming out’.

Edited by John Drakakis and Dale Townshend, both at University of Stirling, UK
Marjorie Garber, Harvard University, USA
Robert Shaughnessy, University of Kent, UK
Series: Accents on Shakespeare ’...[T]he book will most certainly be of use to Shakespearean and eighteenth-century scholars and is well worth the read. Gothic Shakespeares is a pioneering foray into a vast landscape of topics; hopefully further discussions will ensue.’ - Peter Paolucci, York University, UK
William Shakespeare is one of the most widely studied and culturally significant writers of all time; his language interwoven through popular reference and imaginings of the Western canon. In this concise, structured guide, Robert Shaughnessy: • introduces Shakespeare’s life and works in context, providing crucial historical background • introduces each of Shakespeare’s plays in turn, considering issues of historical context, contemporary criticism and performance history • provides a detailed discussion of twentieth-century Shakespearean criticism, exploring the theories, debates and discoveries that have shaped our understanding of Shakespeare today • looks at contemporary performance of Shakespeare on stage and screen • cross-references between sections of the guide to suggest links between texts, contexts and criticism • provides an annotated further reading section and detailed chronologies. Demystifying and contextualising Shakespeare for the twenty-first century, this book offers both an introduction to the subject for beginning students and an invaluable resource for more experienced Shakespeareans.

Readings of Shakespeare were both influenced by and influential in the rise of Gothic forms in literature and culture from the late eighteenth century onwards. Shakespeare’s plays are full of ghosts, suspense, fear-inducing moments and cultural anxieties which many writers in the Gothic mode have since emulated, adapted and appropriated. The contributors to this volume consider: • Shakespeare’s relationship with popular Gothic fiction of the eighteenth century • how, without Shakespeare as a point of reference, the Gothic mode in fiction and drama may not have developed and evolved in quite the way it did
• the extent to which the relationship between Shakespeare and the Gothic requires a radical reappraisal in the light of contemporary literary theory, as well as the popular extensions of the Gothic into many modern modes of representation.

Shakespeare and the Problem of Adaptation Margaret Jane Kidnie, University of Western Ontario, Canada 'Kidnie's study presents original, sophisticated, and profoundly intelligent answers to important questions.' - Lukas Erne, University of Geneva
• the ways in which the Gothic engages in a complex dialogue with Shakespeare, often through the use of quotation, citation and analogy
In Gothic Shakespeares, Shakespeare is considered alongside major Gothic texts and writers – from Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, Matthew Lewis and Mary Shelley, up to and including contemporary Gothic fiction and horror film. This volume offers a highly original and truly provocative account of Gothic reformulations of Shakespeare, and Shakespeare’s significance to the Gothic.
To Order
These essays show the outline of a Shakespeare rather different from the man sought by biographers from his time to our own. They also show the effects, the ephemera, the clues and cues, welcome and unwelcome, out of which Shakespeare’s admirers and dedicated scholars have pieced together a vision of the playwright, whether as sage, psychologist, lover, theatrical entrepreneur, or moral authority. This collection of Garber’s work brings together classic pieces, hard-to-find chapters, and two new essays.
'This is a fine and productive book, one that will surely draw significant attention and commentary well beyond the precincts of Shakespeare studies.' W.B. Worthen, Columbia University Shakespeare and the Problem of Adaptation addresses fundamental questions about the process of mediation, making use of the fraught category of adaptation to explore how we currently understand the Shakespearean work. Margaret Jane Kidnie argues that ’play’ and ’adaptation’ are provisional categories - mutually dependent processes that evolve over time in accordance with the needs of users. 2008: 216x138: 232pp Hb: 978-0-415-30867-0: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-30868-7: £19.99 eBook: 978-0-203-16771-7

Alternative Shakespeares
Teaching Reading Shakespeare
Volume 3
John Haddon
Edited by Diana E. Henderson, MIT, Massachusetts, USA
’Teaching Reading Shakespeare is warmly and clearly communicated, and gives ownership of ideas and activities to teachers by open and explicit discussion. John Haddon creates a strong sense of community with teachers, raising many significant and difficult issues, and performing a vital and timely service in doing so.’ - Simon Thomson, Globe Education, Shakespeare’s Globe
Series: New Accents This volume takes up the challenge embodied in its predecessors, Alternative Shakespeares and Alternative Shakespeares 2, to identify and explore the new, the changing and the radically ‘other’ possibilities for Shakespeare Studies at our particular historical moment. Alternative Shakespeares 3 introduces the strongest and most innovative of the new directions emerging in Shakespearean scholarship – ranging across performance studies, multimedia and textual criticism, concerns of economics, science, religion and ethics – as well as the ‘next step’ work in areas such as postcolonial and queer studies that continue to push the boundaries of the field. The contributors approach each topic with clarity and accessibility in mind, enabling student readers to engage with serious ‘alternatives’ to established ways of interpreting Shakespeare’s plays and their roles in contemporary culture. The expertise, commitment and daring of this volume’s contributors shine through each essay, maintaining the progressive edge and real-world urgency that are the hallmark of Alternative Shakespeares. This volume is essential reading for students and scholars of Shakespeare who seek an understanding of current and future directions in this ever-changing field.

How to do Shakespeare Adrian Noble Adrian Noble has worked on Shakespeare with everyone from oscar-nominated actors to groups of schoolchildren. Here he draws on several decades of top-level directing experience to shed new light on how to bring some of theatre’s seminal texts to life. He shows you how to approach the perennial issues of performing Shakespeare, including: • wordplay – using colour vs playing plain, wit vs comedy, making language muscular • building a character – different strategies, using the text, Stanislavski vs Shakespeare • shape and structure – headlining a speech, playing soliloquys, determining a speech’s purpose and letting the verse empower you • dialogue – building tension, sharing responsibility and ’passing the ball’. This guided tour of Shakespeare’s complex but unfailingly rewarding work stunningly combines instruction and inspiration. Whether you are an actor or a student, you will miss it at your peril.

Collating thirty-four essays from the field’s leading scholars, John Jeffries Martin shows that this period of rapid and complex change resulted from a convergence of a new set of social, economic and technological forces alongside a cluster of interrelated practices including painting, sculpture, humanism and science, in which the elites engaged. 2007: 246x174: 728pp Hb: 978-0-415-33259-0: £150.00 Pb: 978-0-415-45511-4: £29.99

Making Publics in Early Modern Europe
Routledge Concise History of Nineteenth Century Literature
People, Things, Forms of Knowledge
Josephine Guy, University of Birmingham, UK and Ian Small, University of Nottingham, UK
Edited by Bronwen Wilson, University of British Columbia, Canada and Paul Yachnin, McGill University, Canada The book looks at how people, things, and new forms of knowledge created ’publics’ in early modern Europe, and how publics changed the shape of early modern society. The focus is on what the authors call ’making publics’ - the active creation of new forms of association that allowed people to connect with others in ways not rooted in family, rank or vocation, but rather founded in voluntary groupings built on the shared interests, tastes, commitments, and desires of individuals. Coming from a number of disciplines including literary and cultural studies, art history, history of religion, history of science, and musicology, the contributors develop analyses of a range of cases of early modern public-making that together demonstrate the rich inventiveness and formative social power of artistic and intellectual publication in this period.

Edited by Suman Gupta and David Johnson
Class, Culture and Suburban Anxieties in the Victorian Era
Series: Twentieth-Century Literature: Texts and Debates
Lara Baker Whelan, Berry College, USA In this study, Whelan demonstrates the way in which representations of the Victorian suburb in mid- to latenineteenth century British writing occasioned a literary sub-genre unique to this period, that attempted to reassure readers that the suburb was a place where outsiders could be controlled and where middle-class values could be enforced. In particular, Whelan draws attention to the discourse of the suburb as a space of cultural contention in an attempt to illuminate a facet of class history that has often been ignored, overgeneralized, or misunderstood. At the same time, she recontextualizes Victorian fiction for modern readers in light of middle-class suburban anxieties. November 2009: 234x156: 208pp Hb: 978-0-415-80217-8: £70.00 $

Fred Botting, Lancaster University, UK The dark, destructive and monstrous elements of gothic fiction have traditionally been seen in opposition to the rose-tinted idealism of Romanticism. In this groundbreaking study, Fred Botting re-evaluates the relationship between the two genres in order to plot the shifting alignments of popular and literary fictions with cultural theories, consumption and representations of science. Gothic Romanced traces the history of gothic and romantic writings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the present day. It examines the ways in which these genres were aligned with the historical process of modernity – with the Gothic representing the negative aspects of vice and barbarism that accompanied the changing parameters of civilisation, while Romance clung on to traditional values, manners and feelings. The book demonstrates how these genres have evolved together alongside cultural shifts and postmodern theories, blurring the binary between the sacred and the profane. Botting considers Romance and the Gothic from Mary Shelley, Anne Rice and Alasdair Gray through to Alien and Star Trek. He manages a fluid and extensive exploration of generic boundaries, including gothic fiction, romantic poetry, literary pastiches, popular horror fiction, cyberpunk and science fiction. 2008: 216x138: 232pp Hb: 978-0-415-45089-8: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-45090-4: £17.99 eBook: 978-0-203-09071-8

What Animals Mean in the Fiction of Modernity
Literary cyberpunk has had a tumultuous, conflicted, at times contradictory history. Almost before the subgenre was established, laments regarding its ultimate hijacking by imitators, poseurs, and corporate marketing departments dominated discussion. Eulogies quickly followed cyberpunk’s meteoric success. The essays collected here seek to provide an overview of cyberpunk’s influence from the Movement-era Eighties into this new millennium. Thus, contributors attempt to pose and answer some fundamental questions: why cyberpunk? what is its ongoing relevance? where do we go from here? What is it cyberpunk continues to offer us in those nodal intersections of literary, cultural, theoretical, academic, and technocultural environs? Now, more than two decades after that initial wave that was cyberpunk crashed onto science fiction’s shores, this new volume offers more sober and less hyperbolic reflections on cyberpunk.

Through close readings of works from Henry James to W. E.B. Du Bois and from Virginia Woolf to Jean Rhys, Peat discusses how fictional travellers negotiate and adapt various tropes of travel (such as quest, expatriation, displacement, and exile) as models for their own journeys. Specifically, Peat considers the ethical dimensions of modernist travel from two distinct vantages. The first focuses on the relationship between the secular and the sacred in modernist travel literature, arguing that the recurrent narrative of secular travel is haunted by a desire for spiritual transcendence. The second posits modernist travel fiction as a potentially positive example of transcultural relations, consciously arguing against the received notion that travel during an imperial era is always by nature itself imperialist. Throughout, particular attention is paid to the transnational nature of modernism and the various global flows traced by modernist literature.
Edited by Valérie Bénéjam, Universite de Nantes, France and John Bishop, University of California, Berkeley James Joyce’s preoccupation with space - be it urban, geographic, stellar, geometrical or optical - is a central and idiosyncratic feature of his work. In this volume some of the most esteemed scholars in Joyce studies have come together to evaluate the perception and mental construction of space, as it is evoked through Joyce’s writing. With essays addressing all of Joyce’s major works, this volume is a critical contribution to our understanding of modernism, as well as the relationship between space, language, and literature.

Jewishness and Masculinity from the Modern to the Postmodern
Diary Poetics
2ND EDITION
Form and Style in Writers’ Diaries, 1915-1962
Neil Davison, Oregon State University, USA
Anna Jackson, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
American Literary Criticism Since the 1930s
This study examines the impact of racial and religious constructs of Jewish masculinity on a select group of male writers, including Hemingway, Joyce, and Roth, during the Modernist and Postmodern eras. In reading the work of these authors and others, Davison demonstrates how religious-based prejudices as well as doctrinal Judaic concepts were sustained in the discourse of race and gender surrounding ’the Jew.’ In general, the project thus engages a dynamic composed of the historically constitutive Jewish racial portrait, the psychosexual impact of that racial theory as internalized by Jewish males, and differing or conflicting discussions of Judaic-based gender and codes of male behavior. By focusing alternately on gentile and Jewish writers, Davison explores how the racial/gender construct of ’the feminized Jew’ was pivotal to each in negotiating male-selfhood during his encounter with modernity.

Transnationalism and American Literature Literary Translation 1773–1892 Colleen G. Boggs, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, USA What is transnationalism and how does it affect American literature? This book examines nineteenth century contexts of transnationalism, translation and American literature. The discussion of transnationalism largely revolves around the question of what role nationalism plays in the spaces and temporalities of the transatlantic. Boggs demonstrates that the assumption that American literature has become transnational only recently – that there is such a thing as an ’era’ of transnationalism – marks a blindness to the intrinsic transatlanticism of American literature.

Stephen Knadler, Spelman College, USA Through a reading of periodicals, memoirs, speeches, and fiction from the antebellum period to the Harlem Renaissance, this study re-examines various myths about a U.S. progressive history and about an African American counter history in terms of race, democracy, and citizenship. Reframing nineteeth century and early twentieth-century African-American cultural history from the borderlands of the U.S. empire where many African Americans lived, worked and sought refuge, Knadler argues that these writers developed a complicated and layered transnational and creolized political consciousness that challenged dominant ideas of the nation and citizenship. Writing from multicultural contact zones, these writers forged a ‘new black politics’ – one that anticipated the current debate about national identity and citizenship in a twentyfirst century global society. As Knadler argues, they defined, created, and deployed an alternative political language to re-imagine U.S. citizenship and its related ideas of national belonging, patriotism, natural rights, and democratic agency.

Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion Jack Zipes, University of Minnesota, USA The fairy tale may be one of the most important cultural and social influences on children’s lives. But until Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, little attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to shape children’s lives – their behavior, values, and relationship to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly shows, fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. 2006: 234x156: 272pp Hb: 978-0-415-97669-5: £62.50 Pb: 978-0-415-97670-1: £18.99 eBook: 978-0-203-95982-4

This book presents a way into the Dickensian world that starts from linguistic patterns. Corpus linguistic methodology is employed to study electronic versions of texts by Charles Dickens. The analysis begins with clusters, i.e. repeated sequences of words, as pointers to local textual functions. Quantitative findings are completed with qualitative analyses and linguistic patterns of various degrees of flexibility are identified. The study also incorporates comparable data from other nineteenth-century writers. With its corpus stylistics focus, the book presents an innovative approach to the language of one of the most popular English authors. It takes a fresh view on aspects such as characterization, speech and body language. The approach combines corpus linguistics with literary stylistics and also takes into account literary criticism. It thus contributes to bridging the gap between linguistic and literary studies. It will be a useful resource for both researchers and students of language and literature.

Brett Kaplan, University of Illinois, UrbanaChampaign, USA Series: Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies How do the spaces of the past stay with us through representations - whether literary or photographic? How has the Holocaust registered in our increasingly globally connected consciousness? What does it mean that this European event is often used as an interpretive or representational touchstone for genocides and traumas globally? In this interdisciplinary study, Kaplan asks and attempts to answer these questions by looking at historically and geographically diverse spaces, photographs, and texts concerned with the physical and/or mental landscape of the Holocaust and its transformations from the postwar period to the early twenty-first century. Examining the intersections of landscape, postmemory, and trauma, Kaplan’s text offers a significant contribution to our understanding of the spatial, visual, and literary reach of the Holocaust.

The series editor invites the work of scholars from many disciplines - history, cultural studies, critical theory, and literature who seek to probe the highly critical space of the Atlantic, centered not on a single nation or land mass but on a new cosmopolitan interchange of ships and peoples, cultures and texts, ideas and tools.

Medieval Monstrosity and the Female Body Sarah Alison Miller, Duquesne University, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Medieval Religion and Culture In this study, Miller argues that one incarnation of monstrosity in the Middle Ages - the female body exists in special relation to medieval conceptualizations of the monstrous. Because female corporeality is pervasive, proximate, and necessary, it resists marginalization, and thus illustrates the allure and danger of the monster.

Shakespeare, Theatre, and Time Matthew Wagner, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
Edited by Marco Mariano, University of Eastern Piedmont, Italy In this volume, essays by scholars from both sides of the Atlantic open new perspectives on the construction of the ’Atlantic community’ during the Second World War and the early cold war years. Based on original approaches bringing together diplomatic history and the history of culture and ideas, the book shows how atlantism came to provide a solid ideological foundation for the security community of North American and European nations which took shape in the 1940s. This study breaks new ground by arguing that the emergence of the idea of ’Atlantic community’ reflected deeper trends in transatlantic relations; it was the outcome of the re-definition of ’the West’ due to the rise of the US and the decline of Europe in the international arena during the first half of the twentieth century.

Series: Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies This book investigates time in Shakespearean theatre. Wagner posits that theatrical, and especially Shakespearean, time is characterized predominantly by various forms of temporal conflict. From this perspective, he traces the ways in which time transcends thematic and metaphorical functions, and forms an essential part of Shakespearean stage praxis.

Black Atlantic Speculative Fictions Octavia E. Butler, Jewelle Gomez, and Nalo Hopkinson Ingrid Thaler, Georg-August-Universität Gottingen, Germany Since the 1980s, an increasing number of black writers have begun publishing speculative-fantastic fictions such as fantasy, gothic, utopian and science fiction. Writing into two literary traditions that are conventionally considered separate - white speculative genres and black literary-cultural traditions - the texts integrate an African American sensibility of the past within the present, with speculative fiction’s sensibility of the present within the future. Thaler takes stock of this trend by proposing that the growing number of texts has brought forth a genre of its own - Black Atlantic Speculative Fiction. She analyzes recent fictions by Octavia E. Butler, Jewelle Gomez, and Nalo Hopkinson as in-between color-coded literary and cultural traditions by paying particular attention to concepts of literary history and time as well as postcolonial notions of hybridity and mimicry, race, and identity.

Theorizing a Colonial CaribbeanAtlantic Imaginary Sugar and Obeah Keith Sandiford, Louisiana State University, USA This book theorizes a Caribbean-Atlantic imaginary that names the specific orders of ontology and knowledge in which the consciousnesses of Amerindians, Africans and Europeans found expression in the colonial West Indies. Examining the literature that bookmarked the origins and demise of slavocratic systems in the Caribbean – Richard Ligon’s History of Barbados (1657) and Matthew ‘Monk’ Lewis’ Journal of a West India Proprietor (1834) – Sandiford defines the imaginary as a model for the collective mentalities of a particular group of people in which are reflected the archives of their cultural knowledge, the repository from which they draw their shared values, their symbolic meanings and their common beliefs.

Russian Literary Mnemonics
Robert Burroughs, Nottingham Trent University, UK
Series: Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies
Looking at travelogues, ethnographic monographs, consular reports, diaries and letters, sketches, photography and more, Burroughs examines eyewitness travel reports of atrocities committed in European-funded slave regimes in the Congo Free State, Portuguese West Africa and the Putumayo district of the Amazon rainforest during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As Burroughs articulates, as well as bringing home to readers ongoing brutalities, eyewitness narratives importantly contributed to debates on humanitarianism, trade, colonialism, and race and racial prejudice in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain.

Through a series of regionally – and thematically – oriented case studies that engage with key issues, themes and debates in both Latin American and travel studies, Lindsay provides a sustained interdisciplinary study of contemporary domestic travel narratives about the region, and comprises an intervention into methodological debates about travel and travel writing.
NEW NEW
Drawing from the disciplines of anthropology, linguistics, literary studies and modern languages, the contributors in this volume apply themselves to a number of key theoretical questions pertaining to travel writing and ethics, ranging from travel-ascommoditisation to encounters with minority languages under threat. Taken collectively, the essays assess the critical legacies from parallel disciplines to the debate so far, such as anthropological theory and postcolonial criticism. Also considered, and of equal significance, are the ethical implications of the form’s parallel genres of writing, such as ethnography and journalism. As some of the contributors argue, innovations in these genres have important implications for the act of theorising travel writing itself and the mode and spirit in which it continues to be conducted.

Literature in Protestant England, 1560-1660
The Novels of Virginia Woolf
Saul Bellow
Hermione Lee, University of Oxford, UK
Malcolm Bradbury
Alan Sinfield, Sussex University, UK
This book, first published in 1977, is a much-needed introduction to Virginia Woolf’s nine novels, written in the hope of turning attention back from the life to the fictional work. Its clarity and insights will make this book invaluable to a student embarking on a study of Virginia Woolf as a novelist, and to all those whose interest has been aroused by the continuing publication of biographical material. It will, moreover, increase the enjoyment, not only of enthusiasts, but also of those who have hitherto, found her a ‘difficult’ writer.
This study of Saul Bellow, initially published in 1982, looks at this Nobel Prize-winning author as a leading figure in the development of contemporary fiction, one whose work has, however, been challenged by more experimental, ‘post-modern’ developments in the novel.
The hardline, uncompromising theology preached by the English Church in the sixteenth and seventeenth Centuries had disturbing effects on the literature of the period. This study, originally published in 1983, assesses the importance of the prevailing religious climate to the work of several major writers, both in and out of sympathy with the contemporary protestantism. It is argued that the accepted view of the period as essentially ’Christian-Humanist’ obscures the harsher aspects of a Calvinism which throws into relief the agonies of a writer like Donne, the acceptances of one like George Herbert. Selected Contents: 1. Theoretical Perspectives 2. Protestantism: A Belief of Contradictories 3. Puritan Humanists 4. Who Bids Abstain? 5. Heroic Assertion 6. Providence and Tragedy 7.

Selected Contents: 1. ‘Are you Finished?’ 2. ‘Nathan Dedalus’: Jewish sons, Jewish Novelists, Jewish Jokes 3. ‘Beyond the Pale’: American Reality from the Second World War to Watergate 4. ‘You Must Change Your Life’: Mentors, Doubles and Literary Influences in the Search for Self 5.

Philip Larkin Andrew Motion, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Philip Larkin is recognised as one of the most important writers to have emerged in Britain since the Second World War. First published in 1982, Andrew Motion’s study begins with an account of Larkin’s life and literary background and discusses his literary relationship with Hardy and Yeats and his association with the Movement. He analyses Larkin’s two novels and assesses his three mature collections. Throughout the book much reference is made to uncollected reviews and articles and occasionally to unpublished manuscripts. Rather than developing the familiar line on Larkin as an empirical and melancholy writer, Andrew Motion explores the Symbolist and transcendent element in his work, and emphasises its range and variety.
Bradbury draws attention to Bellow’s comedy, his sense of contemporary history and its stresses and anxieties, his attempt to sustain an adequate concept of the individual and the power of the imagination in an age of overwhelming concepts and notions of ‘death of the subject’. Above all, emphasis is placed on Bellow’s contemporaneity and significance, his role in the contemporary possibilities of the novel. Selected Contents: 1. Saul Bellow and the Contemporary Novel 2. The Forties Novels: Dangling Man and The Victim 3. The Fifties Novels: The Adventures of Augie March, Seize the Day, and Henderson the Rain King 4.

Edited by Norris J. Lacy The Arthurian episodic romance, which includes the love story of Lancelot and Guinevere and the Quest for the Grail are enduringly popular tales, but ones with a very complex history. These five volumes collect together and offer translations of the Lancelot-Grail Cycle (also known as the Vulgate Cycle) and the later Post-Vulgate Cycle. The influence of these Cycles is almost incalculable; they have been translated or adapted into a number of languages and have been the source or basis for many writers, including Sir Thomas Mallory, though they also act as great works in their own right. For ease of use, each volume is divided into numbered and titled sections or chapters, summaries of all romances, keyed to chapter divisions, are included in the final volume (V) and notes give information about textual and cultural matters and offer a key to internal cross references.

Contest of Faculties Philosophy and Theory after Deconstruction
Also Available:
Christopher Norris This Routledge Revival, first published in 1985, gives detailed attention to the bearing of literary theory on questions of truth, meaning and reference. On the one hand, deconstruction brings a vigilant awareness of the figural and narrative tropes that make up the discourse of philosophic reason. On the other it insists that argumentative rigour cannot be divorced from the kind of close reading that has come to characterize literary theory in its more advanced or speculative forms. This present-day ‘contest of faculties’ has large implications for philosophers and critics, many of whom will welcome the reissue of such a clear-headed statement of the impact of deconstruction.

What might be the outcome for philosophy if its texts were subjected to the powerful techniques of rhetorical close-reading developed by current deconstructionist literary critics? When first published in 1983, Christopher Norris’ book was the first to explore such questions in the context of modern analytic and linguistic philosophy, opening up a new and challenging dimension of inter-disciplinary study and creating a fresh and productive dialogue between philosophy and literary theory.

Routledge
Highlights for 2010 Routledge Concise Histories of Literature Series
Routledge Companions to Literature Series
Routledge Literature Readers Series
This exciting new series offers students and academics an interesting and accessible route into the literature of a specific period, genre, place or topic. The books situate the literature within its broader historical, cultural and political context, introducing the key events, movements and theories necessary for a fuller understanding of the writing.
These field-defining volumes in new and exciting areas of literary study summarise current scholarship whilst pushing the boundaries of emerging trends.
The Readers aim to collect together essential readings in popular areas of literary studies. Extensive introductory material and commentary guides beginning readers through potentially difficult critical terrain, whilst allowing more advanced readers to stretch themselves on the material, with many suggestions for further reading.
