African American Children in American Political Life

Childhood and Pethood in Literature and Culture

The Literature and Politics of the Impossible

New Perspectives in Childhood Studies and Animal Studies

Myisha Priest, New York University, USA Series: Children's Literature and Culture

Edited by Anna Feuerstein, University of Hawai’i – Manoa, USA and Carmen Nolte-Odhiambo, University of Hawai’i – West O’ahu, USA Series: Children's Literature and Culture

This book reads Black childhood as represented in literature, social practice, political discourse, and action to argue that literary images of Black children, their appearance as political actors, and the construction of a radical tradition of children’s literature are related strategies addressing the limitations of articulations of black personhood. Priest compares antebellum and Civil Rights era texts to magnify the ways that figures of Black children and writings for them mark heightened states of crisis about the connection between race and freedom, working to theorize black political subjectivity and reimagine foreclosed political horizons. Routledge Market: Children's Literature / African American Studies August 2017: 229 x 152: 256pp Hb: 978-1-138-19176-1: £105.00 eBook: 978-1-315-64029-7 * For full contents and more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9781138191761

Offering new perspectives in childhood studies and animal studies, this bookcritically addresses children and pets in our families, our cultures, and our societies, exploring issues such as protection, discipline, mastery, wildness, play, and domestication. Essays analyze legal discourses, visual culture, literature for children and adults, migration narratives, magazines for children, music, and language socialization to discuss how notions of nationalism, race, gender, heteronormativity, and speciesism shape cultural constructions of children and pets. This global collection shows how discourses linking children and pets are pervasive and work across cultures.

Canon Constitution and Canon Change in Children’s Literature

Children, Childhood, and Musical Theater

Edited by Bettina Kümmerling-Meibauer, University of Tübingen, Germany and Anja Müller, University of Siegen, Germany Series: Children's Literature and Culture This book focuses on the (de)canonization processes in children’s literature, considering the construction and cultural-historical changes of canons in children’s literatures from the UK, US, Europe, Australia, Israel, and elsewhere. Essays assess authors and works that have encountered changing fates in the course of canon history. Particular emphasis is given to sociological canon theories, relating historical changes in the canon of children’s literature not only to historical changes in concepts of childhood but to political, social, economic, cultural, and ideological shifts. The book’s comparative approach is essential to assessing transnational processes in canon formation.

James Leve and Donelle Ruwe Series: Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present This volume examines the ways in which successful children's musicals tap into adult nostalgia for childhood while appealing to the needs and consumer potential of the child. The contributors take up a wide range of musicals, including productions inspired by the works of children's authors such as Roald Dahl, L. Frank Baum, and Dr. Seuss; created by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lionel Bart, and other leading lights of musical theater; or conceived for a cast made up entirely of children. Divided into two parts, the collection begins by examining musicals that construct childhood and propagate normative attitudes regarding what childhood is or should be.

Child Autonomy and Child Governance in Children's Literature

Contemporary British Children’s Fiction and Cosmopolitanism

Where Children Rule Edited by Christopher Kelen, University of Macau and Bjorn Sundmark, Malmö University, Sweden Series: Children's Literature and Culture This book explores representations of child autonomy and self-governance in children’s literature. Although the idea of child rule is a persistent theme, the metaphor itself has not been properly unpacked with critical reference to the many texts contingent on the authority and/or power of children. Essays visit a range of texts in which children are empowered, discussing whether childhood itself may be thought of as a nationality. The "child rule"-motif can be seen in Robinsonades and horror films, in philosophical treatises and in series fiction. This collection shows how representations of child governance have been used for different ideological, aesthetic, and pedagogical reasons. Routledge Market: Children's Literature November 2016: 229 x 152: 240pp Hb: 978-1-138-93164-0: £85.00 eBook: 978-1-315-67964-8 * For full contents and more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9781138931640

Fiona McCulloch, University of Bradford, UK Series: Children's Literature and Culture This book visits contemporary British children’s and YA fiction alongside cosmopolitanism, exploring the notion of the nation within the context of globalization, transnationalism and citizenship. By resisting globalization’s dehumanizing conflation, cosmopolitanism offers an ethical, humanitarian, and political outlook of convivial planetary community. McCulloch addresses how children’s and YA fiction imagines not only the nation but the world beyond, disrupting binary divisions through a cosmopolitical outlook. The texts visited envision British society’s position and role within a global arena of issues, including global conflicts, gender, racial politics, ecology, and climate change.

American Children's Literature and the Legacies of Brown v. Board of Education

Current Research on Picturebooks and Visual/Verbal Texts for Young People

Naomi Lesley, Holyoke Community College, USA Series: Children's Literature and Culture

Edited by Perry Nodelman, University of Winnipeg, Canada, Naomi Hamer, University of Winnipeg, Canada and Mavis Reimer, University of Winnipeg, Canada Series: Children's Literature and Culture

This book examines how children’s and YA literature addresses and interrogates the legacies of American school desegregation, narrating not only the famous battles to implement desegregation in the South, but also less visible legacies, such as re-segregation within schools through disability diagnosis. Via critical race theory, disability studies, and educational philosophy it investigates how the educational market both constrains how racism in schools can be presented to readers and also provides channels for radical critiques of pedagogy. It examines a range of novels and will be of interest to scholars of American studies, children’s literature, and educational philosophy and history.

It offers "more words" about various forms of picturebooks, exploring the current field and looking back over the history of picturebooks and picturebook scholarship. Essays visiting semiological and structural aspects of conventional picturebooks, graphic narratives and new media forms, and material and performative cultures represent current work from literary studies, media studies, ecology, art history, Middle Eastern Studies, Library and Information Studies, and educational research.

Interactive Children's Texts and Movable Books

New Directions in Children’s Gothic

Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Debatable Lands

Jacqueline Reid-Walsh, Pennsylvania State University, US Series: Children's Literature and Culture

Edited by Anna Jackson, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Series: Children's Literature and Culture

This book is a historical and comparative study of the movable book — media that crosses the borders between game and narrative —in relation to the implied and actual child interactors who engage with them. Reid-Walsh focuses on when movable books became connected with children in the mid-17 th century to the early-19 th century, emphasizing the smaller, simpler, portable types: notably flap books, paper doll books, and related hybrid experiments like toy theaters and paignion (or domestic play sets). Studying moveable books as interactive, narrative media texts on paper platforms, this book considers not only the object, but also the roles of the child reader.

This book compliments The Gothic in Children’s Literature (2007), which addressed a gap in the critical literature between adult Gothic narrative and children’s and YA literature in the Gothic tradition. The uptake of the Gothic in children’s publishing since then necessitates an analysis of the Gothic in children’s literature in the new millennium, examining the proliferation of new versions of fairies, angels, demons, werewolves, zombies, ghosts, and witches. The volume asks how this literature helps readers contextualize and understand their psychological and social environments during periods of individual growth, cultural change, global terror, and economic uncertainty.

Italian Children’s Literature and National Identity Childhood, Melancholy, Modernity

Origin Narratives The Stories We Tell Children About Immigration and International Adoption

Maria Truglio, Pennsylvania State University, USA Series: Children's Literature and Culture This book examines how children’s books forged a unified national identity for the new Italian State. Italian fairy tales, novels, poems, and short stories imply that the personal development of the child corresponds to and naturalizes the modernizing development of the nation. Via a psychoanalytic lens, the book proposes that national identity was constructed via a process of renouncing and incorporating paternal and maternal figures, rendered as compulsory steps into maturity and modernity. Chapters on the heroic figure of Garibaldi, the Orientalized depiction of the South, and the role of girls in formation narratives show how melancholic itineraries produced gendered national subjects.

Postcolonial Approaches to Latin American Children’s Literature

The Aesthetics of Children's Poetry

Ann González, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA Series: Children's Literature and Culture

Katherine Wakely-Mulroney and Louise Joy Series: Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present

This book explores how the effects of a traumatic colonial experience are (re)presented to Latin American children today. By analyzing a variety of texts written, adapted, or marketed expressly for Spanish-speaking children, it examines how children’s literature approaches the Spanish American colonial and postcolonial experience and communicates national and hemispheric perceptions of reality, identity, and values to the next generation. Engaging works that illustrate the issues of transculturation and postcolonial responses to it, Gonzalez analyzes how Latin American children’s books represent an active form of political, social, and cultural resistance to long-term forms of colonialism.

Focusing on the literary, aesthetic, theoretical, and philosophical dimensions of children's poetry from the eighteenth century to the present, this collection encompasses central figures like Watts, Carroll, Rossetti, Milne, and Duffy, reasserting the literary significance of landmark but often marginalized authors from the past three centuries. The Aesthetics of Children's Poetry is a cogent reminder of the enduring association between poetry as a genre and childhood as a developmental stage.

Reinventing Childhood Nostalgia

Tolerance Discourse and Young Adult Holocaust Literature

Books, Toys, and Contemporary Media Culture Elisabeth Wesseling Series: Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present Romantic-era concepts of childhood nostalgia have been understood as the desire to retrieve the ephemeral mindset of the child. Proposing that the emergence of digital media has altered perceptions of this reflective gesture towards the past, this collection argues that childhood nostalgia is no longer reliant on individual memory, but is rather associated through contemporary convergence culture with the commodities of one's youth as they are recycled from one media platform to another.

Engaging Difference and Identity Rachel Dean-Ruzicka, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Series: Children's Literature and Culture What, exactly, does one mean when idealizing tolerance as a solution to cultural conflict? This book examines a wide range of young adult texts, both fiction and memoir, representing the experiences of young adults during WWII and the Holocaust. Author Rachel Dean-Ruzicka argues for a progressive reading of this literature. Tolerance Discourse and Young Adult Holocaust Literature contests the modern discourse of tolerance, encouraging educators and readers to more deeply engage with difference and identity when studying Holocaust texts.

Feminist Perspectives on Contemporary Zombies, Vampires, and Witches Radical Monstrosity in Literature, Film, and TV Heidi Breuer, California State University, San Marcos, USA and Natalie Wilson, California State University, San Marcos, USA Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature This book explores zombies, vampires, and witches in contemporary popular culture from a feminist perspective, analyzing a range of novels, television series, and films. Though some popular texts (from Harry Potter to Twilight) still use historically inherited conventions, many millennial texts (like True Blood, Maleficent, and The Walking Dead) utilize feminist-friendly monster-figures to critique regressive patriarchal ideologies, champion female monstrosity and female agency, and/or envision alternative socio-cultural formations.

Latin American Gothic in Literature and Culture Transposition, Hybridization, Tropicalization Inés Ordiz, University of Washington, USA, Sandra Casanova-Vizcaíno, Binghamton University, USA and Enrique Ajuria Ibarra, Universidad de las Américas Puebla, Mexico Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature This book explores the Gothic mode in the literature, visual arts, and culture of Latin America. Visiting texts from Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, the Andes, Brazil, and the Southern Cone, the essays illuminate the existence of native representations of the Gothic, while also exploring the presence of universal archetypes of terror and horror. Through the analysis of global and local Gothic topics and themes, they evaluate the reality of a multifaceted territory marked by a shifting colonial and postcolonial relationship with Europe and the US, also acknowledging the effects of "Globalgothic" on a transnational and transcultural level.

TransGothic in Literature and Culture Edited by Jolene Zigarovich, University of Northern Iowa, USA Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature This book offers new perspectives on the ways in which Gothic literature, visual media, and other cultural forms engage gender, sexuality, form, and genre. It explores categories like transgenders, transbodies, and transembodiments, and broader concepts that move beyond the limits of gender identity and sexuality, such as transhistories, transpolitics, transmodalities, and transgenres. Illuminating areas like the appropriation of the trans body in Gothic literature and film, trans rhetorics in memoir, textual markers of transgenderism, and the Gothic’s transgeneric qualities, essays offer innovative interpretations and intersect with non-trans feminist and queer readings of the Gothic.

A Biographical Encyclopedia of Early Modern Englishwomen

Dialect and Literature in the Long Nineteenth Century Edited by Jane Hodson, University of Sheffield, UK.

Exemplary Lives and Memorable Acts, 1500-1650

In this collection, scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, including dialectology, literary linguistics, socio-linguistics, literary studies, and the history of the English language, have come together to examine the theory, context, and ideology of the use of dialect in the nineteenth century. Taken together, the essays offer an exciting overview of the challenging work currently being undertaken in this field.

Edited by Carole Levin, University of Nebraska, USA., Anna Riehl Bertolet, Auburn Univeristy, USA. and Jo Eldridge Carney, The College of New Jersey, USA. From the exemplary to the notorious to the obscure, this encyclopedia showcases the worthy women of early modern England. Poets, princesses or pirates, the women of power and agency found in these pages are indeed worth knowing and this volume will introduce many female figures to even the most established scholars in early modern studies. Rather than using the conventional alphabetical format of the standard biographical encyclopedia, this volume is divided into categories of women. This structure makes the book an interesting read for seasoned scholars of early modern women; while students need not already be familiar with these subjects in order to benefit from the text.

Contemporary Narratives of Dementia

Imaginary Europes

Ethics, Ageing, Politics

Literary and filmic representations of Europe from afar

Sarah Falcus, University of Huddersfield, UK and Katsura Sako, Keio University, Japan Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature This book examines narratives of dementia in contemporary literary texts. As part of the increasing visibility of dementia in social and cultural life, these narratives pose ethical, aesthetic, and political questions about subjectivity, agency, and care that help interrogate the cultural discourse of dementia. From auto/biographies and mystery fiction, to children’s books and comic books, the book examines texts from Japan, North American, and Britain. Building on the interdisciplinary tradition in humanistic gerontology, it brings together theoretical perspectives in the studies of ageing and the medical humanities with approaches developed in literary studies and feminist ethics.

Male Adolescence in Mid-Victorian Fiction

Edited by Anthony Uhlmann, University of Western Sydney, Australia

George Meredith, W. M. Thackeray, and Anthony Trollope

J.M. Coetzee has new things to say about this relation between the ‘real’ and ‘fictions of the real’, and the central problems he deals with in his fiction are of the kind that confront people everywhere. This collection considers the question of understanding itself in Coetzee’s work, and how it is central to our conception of the world.

Focusing on works by George Meredith, W. M. Thackeray, and Anthony Trollope, Alice Crossley expounds on the emergence of adolescence in the mid-Victorian period as a distinct category of identity and form of experience. She argues that male adolescence provides Thackeray, Trollope, and Meredith with opportunities for self-reflection and social criticism while also working as a paradigm for narrative and imaginative inquiry about motivation, egotism, emotional and physical relationships, and the possibilities of self-creation.

Multilingual Currents in Literature, Translation and Culture Edited by Rachael Gilmour, Queen Mary, University of London, UK. and Tamar Steinitz, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature This book shows how concepts of ‘language’ and ‘multilingualism’ look different when viewed from varied locations, and asks how ideas about literature and literary form must be remade in a contemporary cultural marketplace that is both linguistically diverse and interconnected. Scholars of literary studies, applied linguistics, publishing, and translation studies investigate how multilingual realities shape modes of literary and cultural production. Essays explore literary multilingualism and its relationship to publishing, translation, and canon-formation, considering how literature can be read in relation to other multilingual and translational forms of contemporary cultural circulation.

Race Matters, Animal Matters

Rose Macaulay, Gender, and Modernity

Fugitive Humanism in African America, 1838-1934

Edited by Kate Macdonald, University of Reading, UK Series: Gender and Genre

Lindgren Johnson, Virginia Union University, USA Series: Perspectives on the Non-Human in Literature and Culture This book challenges the grand narrative of African American studies: that African Americans rejected racist associations of blackness and animality through a disassociation from animality. Taking an animal studies approach to texts written by Frederick Douglass, Charles Chesnutt, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and James Weldon Johnson, among others, Johnson argues instead that this literature, at pivotal moments, reconsiders and recuperates discourses of animality (and often animals themselves) weaponized against African Americans, thus undermining the binaries that produced racial—and animal—injustice.

This book establishes connections in Macaulay’s work between modernism and the middlebrow, shows her attentiveness to reformulating contemporary depictions of gender, and explores how she transcended and celebrated the characteristics of genre, reflecting her responses to modernity. It shows how her fiction is integral to modern British literature, by its aesthetic concerns, its technical experimentation, concern for the autonomy of the individual, and for the financial and professional independence of women. This interdisciplinary book setsa new agenda for international scholarship on Macaulay, and th reformulates contemporary ideas about gender and genre in 20 -century British literature.

Rethinking Race and Identity in Contemporary British Fiction

Satire in the Age of Elizabeth I An Activistic Art

Sara Upstone Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature

William Jones Series: Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture

This book takes a post-racial approach to the representation of race in contemporary British fiction, re-imagining studies of race and British literature away from concerns with specific racial groups towards a more sophisticated analysis of the contribution of a broad, post-racial British writing. Speaking to the specific contexts of British cultural politics, and directly connecting with contemporary debates surrounding race and identity in Britain, the author engages with a wide range of both mainstream and neglected authors. This volume explores how contemporary fiction is at the centre of re-thinking how we engage with the question of race in twenty-first-century Britain.

The Big Humanities Digital Humanities/Digital Laboratories Richard J. Lane, Vancouver Island University, Canada This book offers an accessible introduction to the digital humanities, one of the fastest growing areas of literary studies. Lane’s unique approach focuses on the technologies and new environment in which the DH largely takes place: the digital laboratory. He provides a brief history of DH, explains the methodologies of past and current DH projects, and offers detailed case studies and bibliographies. The focus on the digital laboratory space reveals affiliations with the research that has traditionally taken place in the sciences, as well as convergences with other fast-growing research spaces like innovation labs, fabrication labs, maker spaces, digital media labs, and change labs.

Heike Missler, University of Saarland, Germany Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature This study traces the evolution of chick lit not only as a genre of popular fiction, but as a cultural phenomenon. It complicates the genealogy of the texts by situating them firmly in the context of age-old debates about female literary creation, and by highlighting the dynamics of the popular-fiction market. The volume weaves a sound methodological network, drawing on reader-response criticism, feminist, gender and queer theory, affect studies and whiteness studies. Visiting examples ranging from classic to more recent and edgier texts, this is an accessible and engaging study for anyone interested in postfeminism and popular culture.

The Cultural Imaginary of Terrorism in Public Discourse, Literature, and Film

The Politics and Aesthetics of Hunger and Disgust

Michael C. Frank, University of Düsseldorf, Germany Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature This study investigates the overlaps between political discourse and literary and cinematic fiction, arguing that both are informed by, and contribute to, the cultural imaginary of terrorism. It explores the ways in which clandestine political violence stimulates the collective imagination, proposing that terror is a halfway house between the real and the imaginary. Supported by readings from The Dynamiter and The Secret Agent through late-Victorian science fiction to post-9/11 novels and films, it argues that literary scholarship can make a genuine contribution to the interdisciplinary field of terrorism studies.

Women and the Poetics of Dissent in the English Revolution Katherine M. Romack Women and the Poetics of Dissent in the English Revolution examines the aesthetic dimensions of female sectarian culture during the English Civil Wars and Interregnum. The topics covered here range from explorations of the formal aspects of women's street performance, petitioning, and political writings, to their fraught relationship with the devotional and metaphysical traditions. In a period that witnessed the transition from subject to citizen, Romack sets the aesthetic strategies deployed by women like Mary Dyer, Elizabeth Poole, and Mary Carey against the artistry of their male contemporaries-from John Milton and Andrew Marvell to John Bunyan. Romack's analysis not only forces contemporary scholars to re-think our own aesthetic designations and sensibilities, she pressures our central assumptions about what it means to possess political agency.

Aestheticism

Burlesque

R. V. Johnson Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom

John D. Jump Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom

First published in 1969, this work explores aestheticism and its relationship with literature. After defining the term and examining the unique qualities of ‘the Aesthetes’, the book provides an overview of the literary movement from its emergence to its apotheosis in the 1890s. This book will be of particular interest to those studying 19th Century literature.

First published in 1972, this book provides a helpful introduction to burlesque literature, a term used by critics from the seventh-century onwards to describe work in which an incongruity between serious subject-matter and style is used to provoke laughter. It examines the four main types of burlesque writing: Travesty, Hudibrastic, Parody and the Mock-Poem, as well as dramatic burlesques.

Allegory

Classicism

John MacQueen Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom

Dominique Secretan Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom

First published in 1970, this book examines the use of allegory in religious, philosophical and literary texts. It traces the development of the device over time from the Classical period through to the early modern and modern periods, demonstrating its evolution from the transmission of myths and religious beliefs to a literary device.

First published in 1972, this book provides an overview of Classicism in literature. After an informative introduction to the term, it explores some of the periods and places in which Classicism has been prominent: the Italian Renaissance, England before and during the Restoration, Renaissance France and eighteenth-century Germany.

Biography

Comedy

Alan Shelston Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom

Moelwyn Merchant Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom

First published in 1977, this book explores biography in the post-Renaissance period and investigates some of the problems implicit in this literary form. The introduction considers various aspects of biographical theory as expressed by practitioners and critics. The rest of the book is a detailed examination of specific works placed in chronological context — reflecting the author’s assertion that a work of biography is inseparable from the intellectual and cultural precepts of its age. Amongst the works examined are: Plutarch’s Lives, Aubrey’s Brief Lives, Boswell’s Life of Johnson, and Johnson’s Life of Savage. This book will be of interest to students of literature and cultural history.

First published in 1972, this work pursues the question ‘what is comedy?’ In its quest for an answer it explores critical theory, psychology, sociology and metaphysics. It also examines the classical origins of comedy, different kinds of comedy, the rituals of comedy, its relationship with other idioms such as ‘satire’, irony’ and ‘farce’, and compares two major traditions: ‘Aristophanic’ and ‘Shakesperean’ comedy. In doing so, the book demonstrates the indefinable and flexible nature of comedy. This work will be a valuable resource to those studying drama, and in particular, those focusing on classical and Shakespearean plays.

This book will be of interest to students of English literature and drama.

It then goes on to examine Coleridge’s theory of imagination and the distinction he drew between fancy and imagination. This work will be of particular interest to those studying Coleridge and the Romantic Movement.

Metaphor

Myth

Terence Hawkes, Emeritus Professor of English, Cardiff University, UK Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom

K. K. Ruthven Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom

First published in 1972, this work examines the complex concept of metaphor. It defines the term by placing the various key ideas about the nature of metaphor in their literary and social context, and in doing so, it traces the developing history of the concept. This account has considerable range, beginning with Aristotle and ending with the work of modern linguist and anthropologists. From this analysis emerge two opposed yet complementary ideas: the classical view of metaphor, which sees metaphor as a detachable device imported into language, and the romantic view, which sees metaphor as inseparable from language.

First published in 1976, this book provides a helpful introduction to the study of myth as a concept and its relationship to literature. It examines historically some of the leading theories concerning the nature and origins of myth and, with reference to a wide variety of texts, illustrates the relevance of these theories to literature. It also considers the different ways in which myths have been perceived over time, both positive and negative, and the effect this has had on the production of new mythologies. It concludes with an assessment if the problems created by the presence of myth in literature and its use as a tool of literary criticism.

Modern Verse Drama

Plot

Arnold P. Hinchliffe Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom

Elizabeth Dipple Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom

First published in 1977, this book provides a clear and well-illustrated analysis of modern verse drama. It studies the work of its chief exponents, T. S. Eliot and Christopher Fry, as well as the genre’s place in the development of modern theatre.

First published in 1970, this work examines ‘Plot’ as a literary term. It traces the two and contrary ways of considering the word: the Aristotelian and the neo-classic interpretations. It then goes on to examine the methods by which the idea of plot has been expanded in modern criticism through a proliferation of critical terms clustering around a vital idea of poiesis, and through the development of time theories, both literary and philosophical, which describe the action of creation. In doing so, the book leads the reader from the standard definition of plot as a hackneyed mechanical term to its enormous possibilities as both a definition and an action.

Biofictional Histories, Mutations and Forms

Drama and the Dramatic

Edited by Michael Lackey, University of Minnesota - Morris, MN, USA

S. W. Dawson Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom

Biofiction, literature that names its protagonist after a historical figure, has become a dominant literary form in the last forty years. Although writers such as J.M. Coetzee, Joyce Carol Oates, Hilary Mantel, Colm Tóibín, and Russell Banks have authored award-winning biographical novels, there remains confusion about the nature of biofiction. This collection defines the nature of the aesthetic form, clarifies why it has come into being, specifies what it is uniquely capable of signifying, shows how it pictures the historical and critiques the political, and suggests potential directions for future studies. This book was first published as a special issue of a/b: Auto/Biography Studies.

First published in 1970, this book explores drama as literature and provides critical overviews of different aspects of drama and the dramatic. It first asks what a play is, before going on to examine dramatic language, action and tension, dramatic irony, characters and drama’s relationship with modern criticism and the novel. This book will be a valuable resource to those studying drama and English literature.

Body Language Narrating illness and disability

Environmental Posthumanism in Literature and Science

Edited by G. Thomas Couser, Hofstra University, NY, USA

Stages of Transmutation

In the last several decades, narratives of illness and disability have been published in unprecedented numbers and gained critical acclaim, and they have come to represent one of the most vital areas in the growth of personal narrative. This volume explores this phenomenon using the latest critical theories and from the perspectives of patients and creative writers as well as academics. It attends to the problematic intersection of trauma and disability; it encompasses graphic narratives, essays, and diaries, as well as full-length memoirs; and it examines the ethical as well as the aesthetic dimensions of narrative. This book was originally published as a special issue of Life Writing.

Tom Idema, Utrecht University, the Netherlands Series: Perspectives on the Non-Human in Literature and Culture This book develops the concept of environmental posthumanism through analyses of acclaimed science fiction novels by Greg Bear, Octavia Butler, Philip K. Dick, and Kim Stanley Robinson, in which the human species suddenly transforms in response to new or changing environments. Narrating dramatic ecological events of human-to-nonhuman encounter, invasion, and transmutation, these novels allow the reader to understand the planet as an unstable stage for evolution and the human body as a home for bacteria and viruses. Idema argues that by drawing tension from biological theories of interaction and emergence, these works unsettle conventional relations among characters, technologies, story-worlds, and emplotment, refiguring the psycho-social work of the novel as always already biophysical.

Border Crossings

Life Writing After Empire

Essays in Identity and Belonging

Edited by Astrid Rasch, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

Edited by Paul Longley Arthur, Western Sydney University, Australia and Leena Kurvet-Kaosaar, University of Tartu, Estonia

While the end of empire tends to be studied on the level of the collective, Life Writing After Empire examines how that moment has been experienced and expressed by individuals in life writing from across the globe. In a range of rich contributions, prominent scholars from a variety of disciplines offer new perspectives on the artistic and intimate articulation of empire and its legacies. This book was originally published as a special issue of Life Writing.

The border between intimate memory and historical revelation is explored in this wide-ranging collection, which features original contributions from leading figures in the life writing field from Australia, Canada, Europe, UK, and the USA. As the essays in this book attest, exposing secrets, even if humiliating, can be a way of honouring lives. Throughout runs the framing theme of memory as the source of all intergenerational transmission of culture and history—whether relating to family, community, nation, ancestry, or political allegiance—and the importance of the intimate and personal in that process of handing on. This book was originally published as a special issue of Life Writing.

It forwards an interdisciplinary model of ‘botanical criticism’ in examining the role of plants in contemporary poetic expression. Drawing from recent plant science and contributing to the new field of critical plant studies, Ryan redresses the lack of botanical emphasis in ecocriticism, ecopoetics, and the environmental humanities. This book will be of interest to the emerging areas of human-plant studies, critical plant studies, and cultural botany.

Routledge Revivals: Bertolt Brecht: Dialectics, Poetry, Politics (1988)

The Botanic Garden by Erasmus Darwin

Peter Brooker, University of Nottingham, United Kingdom. First published in 1988, this books argues with received accounts to reclaim Brecht’s emphasis on his self-described ‘dialectical theatre’, re-examining firstly the concepts of Gestus and Verfremdung and their realisation in Brecht’s poetry in terms of his attempt to consciously apply the methods of dialectical materialism to art and cultural practice. The author also takes issue with the customary view of Brecht’s career and politics which sees him as compromising either with Communist party dogma or bourgeois aesthetics, to find developing parallels between Brecht’s political and artistic though and the critical dialectics of Marx, Lenin and Mao.

Volume I Adam Komisaruk Series: The Pickering Masters The career of Erasmus Darwin affords an extraordinary glimpse into the intellectual ferment of late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century Britain. His magnum opus, and the synthesis of his myriad interests, is The Botanic Garden — an epic poem that aims to "enlist the Imagination under the banner of Science." Despite a recent surge of academic interest in Darwin, no authoritative critical edition of the poem exists. This first of two volumes comprises a complete reading text of part I, The Economy of Vegetation, along with extensive commentary that situates Darwin within the context of key contemporary debates.

Steampunk and Nineteenth-Century Digital Humanities

The Stanza

Literary Retrofuturisms, Media Archaeologies, Alternate Histories Roger Whitson, Washington State University Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature Showing how nineteenth-century literary history works when confronted by technological repurposing, electronic-based object work, alternate history, and non-human temporalities, this book theorizes steampunk’s histories and technologies. It examines how the development of steampunk parallels developments in the digital humanities, arguing for a properly digital and conjectural approach to 19C literary history, emphasizing the possibilities in steampunk technology, literature, and culture. It visits authors, programmers, and designers navigating the complexities of alternate history, constructing a Digital Humanities methodology via the historical potential found in the nineteenth century.

Ernst Häublein Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom First published in 1978, this work bridges the gap between the study of poetic form, which tends to isolate form from meaning and structural poetics, which tends to focus on meaning without considering the stanza’s impact. Beginning with an examination of the various definitions of the stanza, the book goes on to describe the many forms of the stanza and the different strategies by which poets achieve stanzaic units of meaning. It then evaluates the logical relationships between stanzas, and, finally, assesses their place and function as parts within the poetic whole. This work will be of interest to those studying poetry and literature.

Transcultural Poetics and the Concept of the Poet From Philip Sidney to T. S. Eliot Ranjan Ghosh, University of North Bengal, India Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature This book interrogates the concept of the poet across a wide range of traditions and philosophies of creativity rarely studied side by side, carving out unexplored spaces of negotiation and intersections between literature, aesthetics and philosophy. Ghosh demonstrates an original method of ‘global comparison’ that displaces the categories that have underpinned comparative literature approaches so far. By moving between theories of poetry and literature from widely separated times, contexts, and cultures, this book shows the relevance of canonical texts to a theory of the future as marked by post-global concerns.

A Cultural History of English Lexicography, 1600-1800

Literary Agents in the Transatlantic Book Trade

The Authoritative Word Linda C. Mitchell As this lively new study effectively demonstrates, dictionaries serve as far more than just simple reference tools-they also offer a rich fund of information about people in society. Illuminating how dictionaries encoded social history during the period discussed, Linda C. Mitchell here analyzes the ways in which early modern lexicographers constructed their authority; examines the link between the conservative and the subversive in dictionaries; and charts the shift of linguistic authority from grammarians to lexicographers.

A Material History of Medieval and Early Modern Ciphers

Mediterranean Piracy and Slavery in World Literature

Edited by Katherine Ellison and Susan Kim, Illinois State University, USA Series: Material Readings in Early Modern Culture The first cultural history of early modern cryptography, this book joins scholars who study ciphering and deciphering from new materialist, media studies, cognitive studies, disability studies, and other perspectives. Essays analyze the material forms of ciphering as windows into the cultures of orality, manuscript, print, and publishing, revealing that early modern ciphering, and the complex history that preceded it, not only influenced political and military history but also played a central role in the emergence of the capitalist media state in the West, in religious reformation, and in the scientific revolution. This book offers a significant contribution to the history of the book.

Instructional Writing in English, 1350-1650

Robert Seymour and Nineteenth Century Print Culture

Materiality and Meaning Carrie Griffin Series: Material Readings in Early Modern Culture

Sketches by Seymour and Comic Illustration

Drawing on texts in English transmitted from the later Middle Ages to c. 1650, this volume considers textual and material strategies for the presentation and organisation of written knowledge and information during the period. In particular, it investigates the relationship between genre and material form in Anglophone written knowledge and information, with specific reference to that which is usually classified as practical or 'utilitarian'. Carrie Griffin examines textual and material evidence to argue for the disentangling of hitherto mixed genres and forms, and the creation of 'new' texts, as unexplored effects of the arrival of the printing press in the late fifteenth century.

One of the nineteenth-century’s most widely printed books, Robert Seymour’s Sketches by Seymour offers an exemplary account of the dynamics of Victorian publishing. In the first book-length study of Seymour’s work, Brian Maidment not only broadens our understanding of this important artist but also contributes to discussions of the consumer market in the 1820s and 1830s, Victorian theories of comedy, and the function of illustration.

Classical Philosophers on Literature

Marguerite de Navarre's Shifting Gaze

Plato, Aristotle, Longinus

Perspectives on gender, class, and politics in the Heptaméron

Robert Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Series edited by Robert Eaglestone Series: Routledge Critical Thinkers This book is an introduction to the literary thought of three major classical thinkers: Plato, Aristotle and Longinus. Students in literary studies frequently come across Plato, Aristotle and Longinus, either directly through their names and concepts or indirectly, in the work of writers and theorists responding to them. Eaglestone argues that while great thinkers of antiquity may seem far away, their ideas still shape how we think about literature and culture even today. Contemporary examples illustrate the meaning of the original texts and highlight their continuous relevance. This guide offers an introduction to these classical thinkers and is ideal for students studying theory and criticism.

Elizabeth Chesney Zegura, University of Arizona, USA Series: Women and Gender in the Early Modern World Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron, composed in the 1540s and first published posthumously in 1558 and 1559, has long been an interpretive puzzle. De Navarre (1492-1549), sister of King Francis I of France, was a controversial figure in her lifetime. Her evangelical activities and proximity to the Crown placed her at the epicenter of her country’s internecine strife and societal unrest. Yet her short stories appear to offer few traces of the turbulence that surrounded her.In Marguerite de Navarre’s Shifting Gaze, Elizabeth Zegura argues that the Heptaméron’s innocuous appearance camouflages its serious insights into patriarchy and gender, social class, and early modern French politics.

Storytelling and Ethics

The Invention of Female Biography

Historical Imagination in Contemporary Literature and Visual Arts

Gina Luria Walker Series: Chawton Studies in Scholarly Editing

Edited by Hanna Meretoja, University of Turku, Finland and Colin Davis, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature Making an original contribution to interdisciplinary narrative studies and narrative ethics, this volume explores the ethical potential and risks of storytelling. It stages a dialogue between contemporary literature and visual arts across media, interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives (debates in narrative studies, trauma studies, cultural memory studies, ethical criticism), and history (traumatic histories of violence, cultural history). The collection analyses ethical issues involved in different strategies employed in literature and art to narrate experiences that resist telling and imagining, such as traumatic historical events, including war and political conflicts.

Mary Hays worked alone in compiling the 302 entries that make up Female Biography (1803). By contrast, producing a modern, critical edition of the work relied on the expertise of 168 scholars across 18 countries. Essays in this collection focus on the exhaustive research, editorial challenges and innovative responses involved in this project.

A History of Food in Literature

The Routledge Handbook of Literature and Space Edited by Robert T. Tally Jr., Texas State University, USA Series: Routledge Literature Handbooks

From the Fourteenth-Century to the Present Charlotte Boyce and Joan Fitzpatrick A History of Food in Literature provides a clear and comprehensive overview of significant episodes of food in major canonical literary works from the medieval period to the twenty-first century. This volume contextualises these works with reference to pertinent historical and cultural materials in order to engage with the critical debate on food and literature and how ideas of food have developed over the centuries. Organised chronologically and examining certain key writers from every period, including Chaucer, Shakespeare, Austen and Dickens, this book's enlightening critical analysis makes it relevant for anyone interested in the study of food and literature.

The ‘Spatial Turn’ in literary studies is transforming the way we think of the field. This Handbook maps the key areas of spatiality within literary studies offering a comprehensive overview but also pointing towards new and exciting directions of study. The interdisciplinary and global approach provides a thorough introduction and includes 32 essays on topics such as: cartography, urban and rural space, islands and digital spaces. The contributors to this volume demonstrate how a variety of romantic, realist, modernist, and postmodernist narratives represent the changing social spaces of their world, and of our own world system today.

A Poetics of Trauma after 9/11

Cervantes and the Early Modern Mind

Representing Trauma in a Digitized Present

Edited by Isabel Jaen Portillo, Portland State University and Julien J. Simon, Indiana University East Series: Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture

Katharina Donn, University of Augsburg, Germany Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature The 9/11 attacks have come to epitomize the entanglement of intimate vulnerability and virtual spectacle that is typical of the globalized present. Working with concepts of trauma, mediation, and materiality, this book offers radically new interpretive frames for interrogating representations of the attacks. Interconnections between clinical pathology, cultural trauma, and political aesthetics lay the foundations for exploring texts by Foer, Spiegelman, DeLillo, and Gibson. Exploring how contemporary trauma studies can take into account the digitization and virtuality of present-day realities, this book establishes a contemporary ethics of witnessing terror.

Miguel de Cervantes’ familiarity with the mind science of his time was a source of inspiration to craft his fictional worlds and, indeed, his masterpiece Don Quixote is regarded as one of the most compelling portrayals of human psychology that world literature has produced. Cervantes and the Early Modern Mind explores the relationship between the work of Cervantes and the medical-philosophical ideas about the mind that circulated in Golden Age Spain, demonstrating the permeability that existed in early modern culture between literary creation and scientific discourses.

Series: Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present Drawing on examples from British world expressions of Christianity, this collection further greater understanding of religion as a critical element of modern children’s and young people’s history. It builds on emerging scholarship that challenges the view that religion had a solely negative impact on nineteenth- and twentieth-century children, or that ‘secularization’ is the only lens to apply to childhood and religion. The essays focus on the historical contexts in which religion was formative for children in various ‘British’ settings denoted as ‘Anglo’ or ‘colonial’ during the nineteenth and earlyto mid-twentieth centuries.

Attachment, Place, and Otherness in Nineteenth-Century American Literature

Dante, Columbus and the Prophetic Tradition

New Materialist Representations Jillmarie Murphy, Union College, USA Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature This study examines the role interpersonal and place attachments play in crafting a national identity in American literature. Building on ecocritical and psychoanalytic studies, it integrates the language of empirical science and the physical realities of place, investigating non-human agency and that which exists beyond the material realm. It considers how writers in the early republic constructed modernity by restructuring representations ofth attachments, which are reimagined, reconfigured, or rejected by writers in the long 19 century. American perceptions of Otherness are pathologized as a result of insecure attachments, resulting in a restructuring of antiquated notions of difference.

Spiritual Imperialism in the Italian Imagination Mary Alexandra Watt, University of Florida, USA. The first part of this study explores the extent to which Dante’s Divine Comedy contributed to Christopher Columbus’s perception of the cosmos and the eschatological meaning of his journey to what he called an ‘other world.’ The second considers how Italian writers and artists of the late Renaissance and Counter Reformation received the news of the ‘discovery’ and the extent to which they used the figure of Dante and the pseudo-prophecy of the Commedia to interpret its significance.

Ryan Trimm, University of Rhode Island, USA Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature Bringing together heritage studies and literary studies, this book examines heritage as a ubiquitous trope in contemporary Britain, a seemingly inescapable figure for relations to the past. It interrogates metaphoric resonances: that bestowing past, receiving present, and transmitted bounty are all singular and unified; that transmission between past and present is smooth, despite heritage depending on death; that the past enjoins the present to conserve its legacy into the future. Heritage as a trope is explored through core accounts of political theory; seminal documents within historic conservation; phenomenology and poststructuralism; film and TV; and a range of contemporary fiction.

Essays deal with contemporary literary and social issues while engaging with historically constitutive phenomena in Brazil, including authoritarianism, violence, and the systematic violation of human rights. The exploration of diverse literary genres -- from novels to graphic novels, from poetry to crônicas -- and engagement with postcolonial, gender, queer, and cultural studies carves new space for the emergence of an original Brazilian thought.

Navigating the Transnational in Modern American Literature and Culture

Sexuality, Gender and Nationalism in Caribbean Literature

Edited by Tara Stubbs, Oxford University, UK and Doug Haynes, University of Sussex, UK Series: Routledge Transnational Perspectives on American Literature This book develops work carried out on American literature through transnational, transatlantic, and trans-local studies to ask what happens when these aspects become intrinsic to the critical narrative. It shows how the remapping of America in terms of global networks and as a set of particular localities plays out in Americanist scholarship, reflecting on the critical consequences of the spatial turn in American literary and cultural studies. Spanning poetry, fiction, memoir, visual art, publishing, and TV, and locating the US in Caribbean, African, Asian, European, and other contexts, it argues for a re-modelling of American-ness with the transnational as part of its innate rhetoric.

She draws on gender and sexuality studies, postcolonial theory and cultural history to provide new readings of seminal figures like Samuel Selvon and George Lamming whilst also calling attention to the work of innovative, lesser-studied authors such as Andrew Salkey, Oscar Dathorne and Rosa Guy.

The Futures of the Present: New Directions in (American) Literature

Trauma and Transformation in African Literature Writing Wrongs

Edited by Danuta Fjellestad, Uppsala University, Sweden and David Watson, Uppsala University, Sweden

J. Roger Kurtz, SUNY Brockport, USA Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature

The Futures of the Present: New Directions in (American) Literature seeks to map the future of the American novel by identifying emergent trends within its form and content. It engages with such issues as the impact of new media, the rise of environmental fiction, the nonhuman turn, and other social and aesthetic developments that shape the future of literature. This book was originally published as a special issue of Studia Neophilologica.

This book fills a gap in the field of contemporary trauma studies by interrogating the relevance of trauma for African literatures, highlighting key conceptual problems related to the notion of trauma, and offering a model for its relevance in the African context. The study includes readings of works by Achebe, Thiong’o, Worku, Vladislavic, Adichie and Farah as case studies for how African literature can influence our understanding of trauma and trauma healing. This will be a valuable volume for those with interests in trauma studies, African literary studies, postcolonial studies, and memory studies.

This book explores how travel writing contributed to cultural and intellectual exchange in and between the Dutch- and German-speaking regions from the 1790s to the 20th-century. By combining a narrative perspective on travel writing with a socio-historically contextualized approach, essays emphasize the importance of textuality in travel literature as well as the self-positioning of such accounts in their individual historical and political environments. They address cultural, aesthetic, political, and gendered aspects of travel writing, drawing on areas of research including comparative literature, aesthetics, the history of science, literary geography, and the history of publishing.

The Routledge Companion to Inter-American Studies

Travel Writing, War, and the State in Latin America The Desertmakers

Edited by Wilfried Raussert Series: Routledge Literature Companions

Javier Uriarte, Stony Brook University, USA Series: Routledge Research in Travel Writing

An essential overview of this blossoming field, The Routledge Companion to Inter-American Studies is the first collection to draw together the diverse approaches and perspectives on the field, highlighting the importance of Inter-American Studies as it is practiced today. It includes contributions from canonical figures in the field, as well as a younger generation of scholars, to reflect the foundation and emergence of the field and to establish a link between older and newer methodologies.

This book studies how the rhetoric of travel introduces conceptualizations of space and th time in scenarios of war during the late 19 century, in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. By examining accounts of war and travel in the context of the consolidation of state apparatuses, Uriarte underlines the role that war (in connection to empire and capital) has played in the Latin American process of modernization and state formation, analyzing how national spaces are reconfigured, reimagined, and reappropriated. Combining literary analysis, critical geography, political science, and history, this bookwill be of interest to Latin American literature, Travel Writing, and neocolonialism.

A Guide to the Cosmology of William Blake

André Breton’s Trend towards the Occult during the War Years

Kathryn S. Freeman, University of Miami It is not surprising that visitors to Blake’s cosmology - the most elaborate in the history of British text and design - often demand a map in the form of a reference book. The entries in this volume benefit from the wide range of historical information made available in recent decades regarding the relationship between Blake’s text and design. Of particular importance, the entries take account of the re-interpretations of Blake with respect to race, gender, and empire in scholarship influenced by the groundbreaking theories that have arisen since the first half of the twentieth century. The intricate fluidity of Blake’s anti-Newtonian universe eludes the fixity of definitions and schema.

The Poetics of Hermeticism Vicky Clouston Series: Studies in Surrealism Following the journey of the leader of the Surrealist movement, André Breton, into exile during the Second World War, the author of this book traces the trajectory of his thought and poetic output of 1941-1948. Through a close examination of the major - and as yet little studied - works written during these years, she demonstrates how Breton’s quest for ’a new myth’ for the post-war world led him to widen his enquiry into hermeticism, myth and the occult. This ground-breaking study establishes Breton’s profound intellectual debt to 19th century Romanticism, its literature and thought, revealing how it defines his own understanding of hermeticism and the occult, and examining the differences between the two. It shows how, having abandoned political action on leaving the Communist Party in 1935, Breton nonetheless held firmly to political thought, moving in his quest for a better world via Hermes Trismegistus across the Utopian ideas of Charles Fourier.

Examining works by Rabindranath Tagore, Mulk Raj Anand, and Vikram Seth through the lens of T.W. Adorno's poetics of lateness, Tania Roy reads the category of late style in terms of the "belated" literatures and cultures of the postcolonial world. By linking this key concept in Adorno's work with the postcolonial experience, Roy reflects on how postcolonial studies' apparent redundancy in the context of globalization has been alternately confirmed and lamented over the past 15 years.

Analyzing archival materials by Sylvia Plath, John Berryman and Anne Sexton, including the poets’ marginalia and underlining in their personal copies of modernist texts, Amanda Golden constructs a new narrative of the relationship between modernism and post-war poetry. She suggests that modernism as a discourse emerges after the Second World War and makes a case for the continuing role of the midcentury poets in shaping and reshaping modernist discourse.

Anti-Black Racism in Early Modern English Drama

Changing Sentiments and the Magdalen Hospital

The Other “Other”

Luxury, Virtue and the Senses in Eighteenth-Century Culture Matthieu Chapman, University of California, San Diego, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture Using contemporary Afro-pessimist theories as a foundation for structural analyses of race in the Early Modern Period, this book addresses how race functioned not only as a marker of human identity, but also as an a priori constituent of human subjectivity. Via Othello, Titus Andronicus, and other plays, it argues that Blackness is the marker of social death that allows for constructions of human identity to become transmutable based on the impossibility of recognition and incorporation for Blackness into humanity. It will be an essential volume for those with interest in Renaissance Literature and Culture, Shakespeare, Contemporary Performance Theory, Black Studies, and Ethnic

Mary Peace, Sheffield Hallam University, UK Sentimentalism became popular in the eighteenth century, part of the philosophical idea that truth is founded on emotion or moral sentiment. Peace uses the London Magdalen Hospital for Penitent Prostitutes as a prism through which to explore the sentimental writing of this period.

Bess of Hardwick’s Letters

Charles Dickens and China, 1895-1915

Language, Materiality, and Early Modern Epistolary Culture

Cross-Cultural Encounters

Alison Wiggins, University of Glasgow, UK Series: Material Readings in Early Modern Culture

Klaudia Hiu Yen Lee From 1895 to 1915, Chinese translations of Dickens's fiction first appeared as part of a growing interest in Western literature and culture among Chinese intellectuals. Klaudia Hiu Yen Lee investigates the multifarious ways in which Dickens’s works were adapted, reconfigured and transformed for the Chinese readership, challenging some of the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of the ’global’ turn, both in Dickens scholarship and in Victorian studies in general.

Bess of Hardwick's Letters is the first book-length study of the c.250 letters to and from the remarkable Elizabethan dynast, matriarch and builder of houses Bess of Hardwick (c.1527-1608). Incorporating a range of historical sources-including Account Books, inventories, needlework and textile art and architecture-author Alison Wiggins discloses the vital importance of letter-writing for Bess's ventures in politics, patronage, business, legal negotiation, news-gathering and domestic life.

Maura Ives Series: Studies in Publishing History: Manuscript, Print, Digital

Contributors to the volume not only investigate the gendered effect of Spanish texts and literary types on English and French drama, they address the actual journeys of Spanish actresses to French theaters and of Italian actresses to the Spanish stage, while several emphasize the movement of royal women to various courts and their impact on theatrical activity in Spain and abroad. In their innovative focus on women’s participation and influence, the chapters in this volume illustrate the frequent yet little studied transnational and transcultural points of contact between Spanish theater and the national theaters of England, France, Austria, and Italy.

Chronicling Ben-Hur's Early Reception

Dickens and the Myth of the Reader Carolyn W. de la L. Oulton, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK

America’s Favorite Tale, 1880-1924 Barbara Ryan

Charles Dickens’s published work and his thousands of letters intersect, to shape and promote particular myths of the reading experience, as well as redefining the status of the writer. It shows that the boundaries between private and public writing are subject to constant disruption and readjustment, as recipients of letters are asked to see themselves as privileged readers of coded text or to appropriate novels as personal letters to themselves. Imaginative hierarchies are both questioned and ultimately reinforced, as prefaces and letters function to create a mythical reader who is placed in imaginative communion with the writer of the text.

First published in 1880, Lew Wallace’s Ben-Hur is one of the best-selling novels of all time. Employing analytical strategies from the fields of literature, fan studies, reception history, and media research, Barbara Ryan traces Ben-Hur’s popularity from 1880 to 1924. She analyzes fan mail as well as a wide range of manuscript and print sources, using as her starting place two flatteries in which fans declared that they would rather be the author of Ben-Hur than to be President of the United States. Ryan’s discussion of the novel in terms of its contemporary fandom makes it possible for her to dispel misconceptions about the novel’s audience, including its popularity with Christians.

Community-Making in Early Stuart Theatres

Didactic Novels and British Women’s Writing, 1790-1820

Stage and audience Edited by Anthony W. Johnson, Roger D. Sell and Helen Wilcox

Edited by Hilary Havens, University of Tennessee, USA Series: Gender and Genre

Twenty of the world's leading experts on early modern drama collaborate in this volume to explore the issue of community-making as represented in the drama of the early Stuart period. Part One takes up the issue as it relates to a number of period trends in early Stuart theatrical activity (1603-1649). Part Two addresses the topic as it relates to particular dramatists, as arranged in approximately chronological order.

This book explores how British women used the didactic novel genre to engage in political debate in novels published from 1790 to 1820. The genre was among the few acceptable ways by which women could participate in public political debate; the book reveals how it works as a corrective not just on a personal and individual level, but at the political level through its focus on issues such as inheritance, slavery, the roles of women and children, the limits of the novel, and English and Scottish nationalism. This book demonstrates how women with various ideological and educational foundations were involved in British political discourse during a time of radical partisanship and social change.

Cultural Genealogy

Early Modern Women Writers and Memorialization

An Essay on Early Modern Myth

Marion Wynne-Davies

Raphael Falco Cultural Genealogy explores the popularization in the Renaissance of the still pervasive myth that later cultures are the hereditary descendants of ancient or older cultures. Through examples ranging from Petrarch to Columbus, Maffeo Vegio to the Hapsburgs, Falco shows how the new techne of systematic genealogy facilitated the process of "remythicizing" the ancient authorities, utterly transforming Greek and Roman values and reforging them into the mold of contemporary needs.

Considering the most recent scholarship on early modern English women writers, memorialisation discourses, and textual evocations of female subjectivity, this study brings together a radical evocation of otherness that serves to challenge the dominant political, religious and social discourses of the day. Focusing especially on writers Mary Sidney Herbert, Elizabeth Cary, Mary Wroth and Aphra Behn, Marion Wynne-Davies offers a new way of understanding female identity in the English Renaissance.

Ecocritical Approaches to Modernist Poetry

Gender and the Intersubjective Sublime in Faulkner, Forster, Lawrence, and Woolf

The Nature of Modernism in Edward Thomas, T. S. Eliot, Edith Sitwell and Charlotte Mew Elizabeth Harris, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature This is the first extended study of the relationship between British modernist poetry and the environment. Challenging associations of modernism as predominantly anthropocentric in character and urban in focus, it argues that within British modernist poetry there is a clear interest in the natural world. Readings of Edward Thomas, T. S. Eliot, Edith Sitwell, and Charlotte Mew reveal a shared preoccupation with environmental issues and a common desire to find new ways of achieving physical, psychological, and artistic reconnection with nature. This book shows how green approaches to modernist studies can produce new insights into both individual poets and the modernist movement as a whole.

Erin K. Johns Speese Series: Among the Victorians and Modernists Exploring how the modern novel's complex depictions of parenthood restructure traditional conceptions of the Romantic sublime, Erin K. Johns Speese shows how William Faulkner, E.M. Forster, D.H. Lawrence, and Virginia Woolf use related strategies to rewrite the traditional sublime as an intersubjective experience. Speese shows that this reframing depends on the recognition of social objectification and an ethics of reciprocal empathy between mothers and fathers. She juxtaposes traditional aesthetics and Slavoj Zizek’s concept of the sublime object of ideology with recent theoretical work regarding identity, arguing that these modern novelists construct what she terms a "sublime subject," that is, a person who functions in the space of the traditional sublime object. In revealing the possibility of transcendent emotional connection over reason, these novelists critique the objectification of the other in favor of a sublime experience that reveals the subject-shattering power of empathy.

Gender, Speech, and Audience Reception in Early Modern England

Adventure Fiction in the Magazines, 1899-1919 Patrick Scott Belk, University of Pittsburgh, Johnstown, USA Focusing on adventure fiction published from 1899 to 1919, Patrick Scott Belk looks at authors such as Joseph Conrad, H.G. Wells, Conan Doyle, and John Buchan to explore how writers of popular fiction engaged with foreign markets and readers through periodical publishing. Belk argues that popular fiction, particularly the adventure genre, developed in ways that directly correlate with authors’ experiences, and shows that popular genres of the late-nineteenth and early twentieth century emerged as one way of marketing their literary works to expanding audiences of readers worldwide.

Forms of Hypocrisy in Early Modern England Edited by Lucia Nigri, University of Manchester Series: Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture

Kathleen Kalpin Smith, University of South Carolina, Aiken, USA. Series: Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture This book makes a significant contribution to recent scholarship on the ways in which women responded to the regulation of their behavior by focusing on representations of women speakers and their audiences in moments Smith identifies as "scenes of speech." Drawing from evidence including pamphlets, diaries, illustrations, and plays, it interprets the various and at times contradictory representations and reception of women’s speech that circulated in early modern England.

Gendering Walter Scott

Illegitimacy and the National Family in Early Modern England

Sex, Violence and Romantic Period Writing C.M. Jackson-Houlston, Oxford Brookes University, UK Series: The Nineteenth Century Series

Helen Vella Bonavita, Edith Cowan University, Australia This study considers the figure of the bastard in the context of analogies of the family and the state in early modern England. The trope of illegitimacy, more than being simply a narrative or character-driven issue, is a vital component in the evolving construction and representation of British national identity in prose and drama of the sixteenth and early seventeenth century. Through close reading of a range of plays and prose texts, the book offers readers new insight into the semiotics of bastardy and concepts of national identity in early modern England, and reflects on contemporary issues of citizenship and identity.

Employing gender as a unifying critical focus, Caroline Jackson-Houlston draws on the full range of Walter Scott’s novels to propose new links between Scott and Romantic-era authors such as Sophia Lee, Jane Porter, Jane Austen, Sydney Owenson, Elizabeth Hands, Thomas Love Peacock, and Robert Bage. In Scott, Jackson-Houlston suggests, sex and violence are united in a central feature of the genre of romance, the trope of raptus—the actual or threatened kidnapping of a woman and her subjection to physical or psychic violence.

Identity, Authority and the Imprint in Shakespearean Drama

Shakespeare’s supposed genius and universality is still thought to lie in his work’s capacity to ’impress’, ’imprint’ or ’stamp’ our hearts, minds and souls. But to what extent is Shakespeare’s perceived impressiveness rooted in his own language of impression? Impressive Shakespeare investigates the language and material culture of three interrelated ’impressing technologies’ in Shakespearean drama: wax sealing, coining and printing. Combining book history, material culture and rhetorical theory through historicised close readings of four plays-Coriolanus, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Measure for Measure and The Winter’s Tale-the book analyses Shakespeare’s imprinting metaphors in relation to a variety of early modern texts and objects, arguing that Shakespeare employs the language of impression to explore the formation and destabilisation of personhood and power. In doing so, it considers the material forms of performed and printed drama.

How Shakespeare Became Colonial

Islam and Postcolonial Discourse

Editorial Tradition and the British Empire

Purity and Hybridity

Leah S Marcus In this fascinating book, Leah Marcus argues that the colonial context in which Shakespeare was edited and disseminated during the heyday of British empire has left a mark on Shakespeare’s texts to the present day. Shakespeare was presented as exemplary of British genius and those who edited and shaped the texts were very aware of the potential political and cultural impact this could have. Marcus traces important ways in which the colonial enterprise of setting forth the best possible Shakespeare for world consumption has continued to be visible in the recent treatment of Shakespeare’s texts today, despite our belief that we are global or post-colonial in approach.

Individual essays explore Shirley’s musical theatre and spoken verse, performance conditions, female agency and politics, and the presentation of his work in manuscript and print. Shirley’s literary versatility and long life, spanning the last days of Queen Elizabeth I to the ascension of Charles II, make him an ideal writer through whom to examine the distinctive qualities of Caroline theatre.

Brad Bannon Examining Samuel Taylor Coleridge's reflections on Jonathan Edwards, written over a twenty-year period, Brad Bannon rejects the common critical notion that the influence Coleridge exerted on the American Romantics should be understood as a one-way influx of entirely new ideas. Rather, it is more accurately conceived in light of Coleridge's transatlantic engagement with the philosophical theology of Edwards and the abolitionist theologies of John Woolman and Olaudah Equiano. Bannon resituates our understanding of Poe, Emerson, Hawthorne, and Melville, contending that all of these authors demonstrate a keen awareness of the competing conceptions of the will offered by Coleridge and Edwards.

Jane Austen, George Eliot and the Reflective Tradition

Language and Community in Early England

Rose Pimentel Series: The Nineteenth Century Series

Emily Butler, John Carroll University, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Medieval Literature and Culture

A common ethical dynamic between Jane Austen and George Eliot and the realist novel, Rose Pimentel argues, both emerged from an emphasis on reflection as introspection that was widespread in the eighteenth century. She reads both authors as part of this reflective tradition, placing their novels in a rich and reflective dialogue that views neither the reflective tradition nor the development of the novel as teleological.

This book examines the development of English as a written vernacular and identifies it as a process of community building that occurred in a multilingual context. Moving from the 8th-13th centuries, to the 16th-century antiquarians who collected medieval manuscripts, it suggests that this period in the history of English can only be understood if we loosen insistence on a sharp divide between Old and Middle English and place the textuality in the framework of a multilingual matrix. It argues that the tension of linguistic distance provides necessary energy for the community-building activities of annotation and glossing, translation, compilation, and other uses of texts and manuscripts.

Jewish and Christian Voices in English Reformation Biblical Drama

Marriage and the Nineteenth-Century British Women’s Novel

Enacting Family and Monarchy

Edited by Carolyn Lambert, University of Brighton, UK, Marion Shaw, Loughborough University, UK and Frances Twinn Series: Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature

Chanita Goodblatt English Biblical drama of the sixteenth century resounds with a variety of Jewish and Christian voices. Whether embodied as characters or manifested as exegetical and performative strategies, these voices participate in the central Reformation project of biblical translation. Such translations and dramatic texts are certainly enriched by studying them within the wider context of medieval and early modern biblical scholarship, which is implemented in biblical translations, commentaries and sermons. This approach is one significant contribution of the present project, as it studies the reciprocal illumination of Bible and Drama. Chanita Goodblatt explores the way in which the interpretive cruxes in the biblical text generate the dramatic text and performance, as well as how the drama’s enactment underlines the ethical and theological issues as the heart of the biblical text.

It contributes to scholarly interest in 19th-century marriage, gender studies, and domesticity, uncovering submerged, marginalized, and alternative stories in Victorian literature. It outlines the public discourses around marriage in the 19th century, the legal reforms achieved as a result of public pressure, and the ways in which these laws and economic concerns impacted on the marital relationship, drawing on life writing, journalism, and conduct books.

Mary Elizabeth Braddon

Milton in the Arab-Muslim World

Writing in the Margins

Islam Issa

Anne Marie Beller Series: The Nineteenth Century Series

The first full-length study of the reception of John Milton’s (1608-74) writings in the Arab-Muslim world, this book examines the responses of Arab-Muslim readers to Milton’s works, particularly Paradise Lost. It contributes to knowledge of the history, development, and ways in which early modern writings are read and understood by Muslims, analysing a range of literary and religious aspects of Milton’s writing in light of the cultural, theological, socio-political, linguistic and translational contexts of the Arab world.

Exploring the theme of marginality in Mary Elizabeth Braddon novels from The Trail of the Serpent (1861) to The Infidel (1900), Anne-Marie Beller makes astute connections between the marginalized position of the female popular novelist and the marginalized subject in Braddon's fiction. She shows how this persistent theme in Braddon's fiction is used to scrutinize contemporary dominant discourses that worked to exclude those constructed as other in Victorian culture and helped Braddon to negotiate her own position as a female popular writer. In addition to writing more than 80 novels, Braddon published plays, poems, and essays and edited two magazines, Belgravia and Mistletoe Bough.

Maximalism in Contemporary American Literature

Milton’s Italy

The Uses of Detail

Anglo-Italian Literature, Travel, and Connections in Seventeenth-Century England

Nick Levey, La Trobe University, Australia Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature

Catherine Martin, University of Memphis, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture

This book studies the maximalist novels of Wallace, Baker, Pynchon, and others, considering how overly-detailed writing serves the institutional, emotional, and intellectual needs of contemporary readers and writers. It argues that maximalist novels not only exceed perceived limits of style, subject matter, and scope, but strive to remake the usefulness of books in contemporary culture, refreshing the act of reading. Drawing on Thing Theory, Marxism, New Formalism, playlists, blogs, and archival manuscripts, the book proposes a new understanding of maximalist writing and a new way of approaching the usefulness of literary objects in contemporary culture.

This book joins a trend toward transnational literary studies and revives a tradition of Anglo-Italian scholarship centering on John Milton. Correcting misperceptions diminishing the international dimensions of his life and work, it surveys Milton’s Italianate studies, travels, poetics, politics, and religious convictions. Few contemporary critics have explored the Italian sources of his anti-papal, anti-episcopal, and anti-formalist religious outlook. Relying on Milton’s own testimony, this book explores its roots in Dante, Petrarch, Ariosto, and Sarpi. Besides republicanism and theology, equally strong influences treated here include Italian Neoplatonism, cosmology, and romance epic.

Michelangelo's Poetry and Iconography in the Heart of the Reformation

Modernism, Feminism and Everyday Life

Ambra Moroncini, University of Sussex, UK This study investigates his poetic production to shed new light on the artist’s religious beliefs and unique language of art. Author Ambra Moroncini looks first at Michelangelo the poet and proposes a thought-provoking reading of Michelangelo’s most controversial artistic production between 1536 and c.1550: the Last Judgment, his devotional drawings made for Vittoria Colonna, and his last frescoes for the Pauline Chapel. Using theological and literary analyses as well as on Michelangelo’s own rime spirituali and Vittoria Colonna’s spiritual lyrics, Moroncini proposes an argument for the impact that the Reformation had on one of the greatest minds of the Italian Renaissance.

Tara Thomson Faced with a rapidly changing world, modernist authors turned their attention to the mundane details of everyday life, seeking new discourses and techniques to articulate their experiences of modernity. Drawing on theories of everyday life Tara Thomson explores modernist fiction by women who were afforded new roles and opportunities in a world characterized by social and political change. At the same time the realities of women's everyday lives lagged behind the promises of modernity. Thomson reads the works of Dorothy Richardson, Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, and Elizabeth Bowen to explore the complex position of women with respect to everyday life throughout the interwar years.

Modernism, Latin America, and Transnational Exchange

Mountain Aesthetics in Early Modern Latin Literature William M. Barton, Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin Studies, Austria

New Perspectives Across a Global Landscape Patricia Novillo-Corvalán, University of Kent at Canterbury, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature

In the late Renaissance and early modern period, man's relationship to nature changed dramatically. An important part of this change occurred in the way that beauty was perceived in the natural world and in the particular features which became privileged objects of aesthetic gratification. This study explores the shift in aesthetic attitude towards the mountain that took place between 1450 and 1750. Based on previously unknown and unstudied material, this volume now contends that it took place earlier in the Latin literature of the late Renaissance and early modern period.

This book exploresththe relationship between Latin American and European modernisms during the long 20 century. Drawing on comparative, historical, and postcolonial reading strategies, it focuses on the cultural networks and aesthetic dialogues that developed between European and non-European writers. It explores many texts that reflect complex concerns with questions of exile, space, empire, colonization, reception, translation, human subjectivity, and modernist experimentation. By rethinking modernism comparatively and placing it within an expansive transnational framework, this study opens up new perspectives that delineate the construction of a polycentric geography of modernism.

Modernist Experiments in Genre, Media, and Transatlantic Print Culture

Jennifer Julia Sorensen, Oberlin College, USA Series: Studies in Publishing History: Manuscript, Print, Digital

Katrin Berndt, University of Bremen, Germany.

Examining works by Henry James, Jean Toomer, Djuna Barnes, Katherine Mansfield, and Virginia Woolf, Jennifer Sorensen Emery-Peck argues that the formal strategies of modernist texts can only be fully understood in the context of the material forms and circuits of print culture. She shows that modernist generic and formal experimentation was deeply engaged with specific print histories that generated competitive media ecologies of competition and hybridization.

Analysing genre-defining novels by Romantic period authors such as Mary Shelley, Charlotte Lennox, Walter Scott, and Jane Austen, Katrin Berndt argues that friendship functions as a literary motif, structural principle, and expression of philosophical values in a genre that explores the psychology and interactions of the individual. She shows that in imagining the modern individual as emerging not in opposition to but through interaction with society, novels continued Enlightenment debates about sympathy and the values of civilization.

Narrative Structure and Reader Formation in Lady Mary Wroth's Urania

Reading Milton through Islam

Rahel Orgis, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland Narrative Structure and Reader Formation in Lady Mary Wroth’s Urania offers the first systematic formal and thematic analysis of Wroth’s Urania in its historical context and explores the structural means by which Wroth fashions her readership. The book thus has a dual focus, at once on narrative art and reader formation. It makes two original claims, the first being that the Urania is not the unorganized accumulation of stories critics have tended to present it as, but a work of sophisticated narrative structures i.e. a complex text in a positive sense. The second claim is, then, that through the careful structuring of her text Wroth seeks to create her own ideal readership.

Edited by David Currell, American University of Beirut, Lebanon and François-Xavier Gleyzon, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida, USA Exemplifying important current trends in the study of literary reception, comparative religion and the global dimensions of early modern culture, this collection reveals how East-West relations are woven into the texture of John Milton’s great works, including Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained and Areopagitica, in a way that makes them crucially relevant to the globalized cultures of today.

Natural and Artificial Bodies in Early Modern England

Reading the Runes in Old English and Old Norse Poetry

Literature, Natural Philosophy, Objects

Thomas Birkett, University College Cork, Ireland

Alvin Snider, University of Iowa, USA Series: Perspectives on the Non-Human in Literature and Culture

Reading the Runes in Old English and Old Norse Poetry is the first book-length study to compare responses to runic heritage in the literature of Anglo-Saxon England and medieval Iceland. The Anglo-Saxon runic script had already become the preserve of antiquarians at the time the majority of Old English poetry was written down, and the Icelanders recording the mythology associated with the script were at some remove from the centres of runic practice in medieval Scandinavia. Both literary cultures thus inherited knowledge of the runic system and the traditions associated with it, but viewed this literate past from the vantage point of a developed manuscript culture.

This book explores how 17th-century writing intersected with changing understandings of the conceptual structure of matter, and how humans might reconfigure their place in a network of non-human relations. Snider recovers the material and body worlds of 17th-century culture as treated in poetry, natural philosophy, medical treatises, and prose fiction. Drawing on science studies and new materialism, the book considers writers including Milton, Cavendish, Robert Herrick, and Robert Boyle. Mining the interplay of human and non-human worlds, it will appeal to literary scholars, cultural historians, philosophers, and those studying ecocriticism or the history of the body.

Re-Covering Modernism

Robin Hood in Outlaw/ed Spaces

Pulps, Paperbacks, and the Prejudice of Form

Media, Performance, and Other New Directions Edited by Lesley Coote and Valerie B. Johnson Series: Outlaws in Literature, History, and Culture

That modernist literature was not the exclusive purview of a cultural elite but was available to a mass public via popular magazines and pulp paperbacks, is the subject of David M. Earle's nuanced exploration of the publishing and marketing of modernism. Richly illustrated and accessibly written, Earle's study shows that modernism emerged in a publishing ecosystem that was richer and more complex than has been previously documented.

This collection examines the figure of Robin Hood within geographical, cultural and temporal spaces. The volume is divided into two sections: the first features an interrogation of literary spaces to uncover the critical grounds in which the Robin Hood ’legend’ has traditionally operated. The essays in Part Two take up issues related to performative and experiential space, demonstrating the reciprocal relationship between page, stage, and lived experience. Throughout the volume, the contributors contend with modern theories of gender, literary detective work, and the ways in which the settings that once advanced court performances now include digital gaming and the enactment

Rethinking G.K. Chesterton and Literary Modernism

Parody, Performance, and Popular Culture

Lilian R. Furst Series: Routledge Library Editions: The Critical Idiom

Michael Shallcross, Durham University, UK Series: Literary Texts and the Popular Marketplace This book studies the relationship between G.K. Chesterton and a range of key literary modernists. When Chesterton and modernism have been considered together the dynamic has been figured as one of mutual hostility, grounded in Chesterton’s advocacy of popular culture and modernism’s appeal to a cultural elite. Shallcross complicates this, establishing the depth and ambivalence of Chesterton’s interaction with modernism, and the reciprocal interest of leading modernist writers in his work. This is an innovative reading of the dynamic th play of popular and ‘high’ culture in early 20 -century British culture, adding a new perspective to current critical debates on the parameters of modernism.

First published in 1969, this work traces the evolution of Romanticism and in doing so, demonstrates its novelty as an imaginative and emotional perception of the world in contrast to the rationalistic approach which was dominant in the seventeenth century. It identifies the fundamental similarities between Romantic writing in England, France and Germany as well as their differences brought about by divergent literary and social backgrounds. The book is concluded by a review of the problems that arise from a simple definition of Romanticism.

Poetic miscellanies have been almost entirely neglected in studies of Shakespeare’s textual transmission and canonical rise. And yet, during the eighteenth century alone, more than 850 fragments of Shakespearean texts were inserted into the century’s miscellanies: each has a textual history that reshapes our understanding of how his texts were circulated, appropriated and read. Through quantitative analysis and comparative close readings, Christopher Salamone investigates patterns in the form, quantity and selection of Shakespeare's texts, exposing the editorial methods by which compilers came to terms with changing cultural conceptions of Shakespeare. Offering readers a buffet of literary extracts, compilers selected isolated and often indexed passages suitable for those wishing to dip into only the pithiest, most eloquent and most useful Shakespearean snippets. Today, many readers also experience Shakespeare in fragments, through soliloquys and specific phrases or couplets.

Aesthetics and Politics in an Age of Revolution Matthew C. Borushko In works such as The Mask of Anarchy and "A Philosophical View of Reform, Matthew C. Borushko argues, Percy Bysshe Shelley intervenes in the reformist crisis of agency occasioned by the dramatic historical and political violence that characterized Britain during the Romantic period.

The volume restores the sonic dimension to conversations about civil conduct by exploring how censured behaviours and recommended practices resonated beyond the written word. Understanding perceptions and valuations of noise allows us to chart how civility was understood in the context of significant political, social and cultural change. Divided into three parts, Sound, Space and Civility in the British World demonstrates how both noise and sound could be recognized by eighteenth-century Britons as expressions of civility.

Social Types in Nineteenth-Century French Literature and Journalism

Surrealism and the Gothic

The (Un)Making of National Identity in France

Neil Matheson Series: Studies in Surrealism

Pauline de Tholozany Focusing on social types during the July Monarchy, Pauline de Tholozany argues that they played a role in the construction of a national ideal in France during the period. As Tholozany shows, types such as the dandy, flÃ¢neur (including the child flÃ¢neur), and grisette abounded, both in plot-driven literary genres and in journalistic sketches. At the same time, in classifying and describing these types, writers such as Jules Janin and Honoré de Balzac in collaboration with graphic artists insisted on the impossibility of establishing a stable social taxonomy. This paradoxical gesture, Tholozany claims, has larger consequences, since the social type’s resistance to a stable classification ultimately points to the difficulty of defining national identity as the sum of its typological parts.

Castles of the Interior

Deeply rooted in Romanticism, Surrealism was a movement founded in part upon an enthusiasm for the Gothic novel, and as this study argues, was pervaded throughout its history by a 'Gothic' sensibility. The book uses the concept of 'the Gothic' as a unifying thread to explore Surrealism's direct links with Gothic literature, pulp fiction and theatre, and with 'Gothic' psychological and scientific themes. This volume concludes in investigating the resurgence of interest in Sade's work during the post-war era, its relationship with the artwork of the period and with debates on the representation of violence in Cold War-era visual culture.

The Ashgate Research Companion to Ford Madox Ford

The Daughter Zion Allegory in Medieval German Religious Writing

Sara Haslam and Laura Colombino

Annette M Volfing

Taking account of Ford Madox Ford’s entire literary output, this companion brings together prominent Ford specialists to offer an overview of existing Ford scholarship and to suggest new directions in Ford studies. The contributors cover areas relevant to Ford’s fiction, nonfiction and poetry, including auto/biography, reception, translation, artistic contexts, gender, war, style, Mediterranean and transatlantic visions, criticism, journalism, editing, and the adaptation of his major works.

The Daughter Zion allegory represents a particular narrative articulation of the paradigm of bridal mysticism deriving from the Song of Songs, the core element of which is the quest of Daughter Zion for a worthy object of love. Examining medieval German religious writing and Dutch prose works,Volfing shows that this storyline provides an excellent springboard for investigating key aspects of medieval religious and literary culture. In particular, the allegory lends itself to an exploration of the medieval sense of self; of the scope of human agency within the mystical encounter; and of fantasies of violence and aggression.

The Miscellany of the Spanish Golden Age

The Routledge Research Companion to Law and Humanities in Nineteenth-Century America

A Literature of Fragments Jonathan David Bradbury, University of Exeter, UK Taking up the invitation extended by tentative attempts over the past three decades to construct a functioning definition of the genre, Jonathan Bradbury traces the development of the vernacular miscellany in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain and Spanish-America. In the first full-length study of this commercially successful and intellectually significant genre, Bradbury underlines the service performed by the miscellanists as disseminators of knowledge and information to a popular readership. His comprehensive analysis of the miscelánea corrects long-standing misconceptions, starting from its poorly-understood terminology, and erects divisions between it and other related genres.

Nan Goodman and Simon Stern Nineteenth-century America witnessed some of the most important and fruitful areas of intersection between the law and humanities, as people began to realize that the law, formerly confined to courts and lawyers, might also find expression in a variety of ostensibly non-legal areas such as painting, poetry, fiction, and sculpture. Bringing together leading researchers from law schools and humanities departments, this Companion touches on regulatory, statutory, and common law in nineteenth-century America and encompasses judges, lawyers, legislators, litigants, and the institutions they inhabited (courts, firms, prisons). It will serve as a reference for specific information on a variety of law- and humanities-related topics as well as a guide to understanding how the two disciplines developed in tandem in the long nineteenth century.

The Routledge Research Companion to Early Drama and Performance

The Routledge Research Companion to the Medieval Icelandic Sagas

The study of early drama has undergone a quiet revolution in the last four decades, radically altering critical approaches to form, genre, and canon. Drawing on disciplines from art history to musicology and reception studies, The Routledge Companion to Early Drama and Performance reconsiders early ‘drama’ as a mixed mode entertainment best considered not only alongside non-dramatic texts, but also other modes of performance.

The last 50 years have seen a significant change in the focus of saga studies, from a preoccupation with origins and development to a renewed interest in other topics, such as the nature of the sagas and their value as sources to medieval ideologies and mentalities. The Routledge Research Companion to the Medieval Icelandic Sagas presents a detailed interdisciplinary examination of saga scholarship over the last fifty years, sometimes juxtaposing it with earlier views and examining the sagas both as works of art and as source materials. This volume will be of interest to Old Norse and medieval Scandinavian scholars and accessible to medievalists in general.

The Sea and Nineteenth-Century Anglophone Literary Culture

Transatlantic Literary Ecologies

Edited by Steve Mentz, St. John's University, USA and Martha Elena Rojas, University of Rhode Island, USA Series: Ashgate Series in Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Studies This collection of essays by scholars in transatlantic British and American literatures interrogates the diverse meanings the ocean assumed for writers, readers, and thinkers on both sides of the Atlantic during this period of global exploration and colonial consolidation. The introduction offers three critical lenses through which to read nineteenth-century Anglophone maritime literature: "wet globalization," which returns the ocean to our discourses of the global; "salt aesthetics," which considers how the sea influences artistic culture and aesthetic theory; and "blue ecocriticism," which poses an oceanic challenge to the narrowly terrestrial nature of "green" ecological criticism.

The editors situate the volume in its critical contexts by providing a detailed literary and historical overview of nineteenth-century transatlantic socio-environmental issues involving such topics as the contemporary fur and timber trades, colonialism and agricultural "improvement", literary discourses on conservation, and the consequences of industrial capitalism, urbanization, and urban environmental activism.

The Signifying Power of Pearl

Transatlantic Literature and Transitivity, 1780-1850

Medieval Literary and Cultural Contexts for the Transformation of Genre

Subjects, Texts, and Print Culture

Jane Beal, University of California, Davis, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Medieval Literature and Culture th

This book enhances understanding of the 14 -century Middle English dream vision poem Pearl, arguing that the poet intended it to be read at four levels of meaning and corresponding genres: literally, an elegy; spiritually, an allegory; morally, a consolation; and anagogically, a revelation. Using medieval and modern genre theory, it visits scholarly debates about Pearl’s genre and meaning. It also considers folktale genre patterns in Pearl, including those drawn from parable, fable, and fairy-tale, and reads itin light of modern psychological theories of grieving and trauma. This book makes a strong case for recognizing Pearl’s signifying power and the possibility of new interpretations.

It identifies the ways in which historically-situated but malleable subjectivities can engage with popular and pressing debates about class, slavery, natural knowledge, democracy, and religion. Taking a fresh look at canonical and popular writers, it considers the ways in which material texts and genres, including the essay, guidebook, travel narrative, periodical, novel, and the poem, can be scrutinized in relation to historically-situated transatlantic transitions, transformations, and border crossings.

Thomas Hardy's Short Stories

Victimhood and Vulnerability in 21st Century Fiction

New Perspectives Edited by Juliette Berning Schaefer, Ohio Dominican University and Siobhan Craft Brownson, Winthrop University, USA Series: The Nineteenth Century Series Thomas Hardy penned nearly fifty short stories, but in spite of this number, his contributions to the genre have been relatively understudied. Bringing together an international group of scholars, this is the first edited collection devoted solely to Hardy's works of short fiction. The contributors take up topics related to their publication in periodicals, gender and community relationships, and narrative techniques. Taken together, the essays show that Hardy's short stories are important, not only for what they tell us about Hardy as a writer who straddles the divide between the traditionalist and the modernist, but also for how they reflect and inform the period in which he wrote.

J.H. Alexander Series: Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature Scott's Books is an approachable introduction to the Waverley Novels. Drawing on substantial research in Scott's intertextual sources, it offers a fresh approach to the existing readings where the thematic and theoretical are the norm. Avoiding jargon, and moving briskly, it tackles the vexed question of Scott's 'circumbendibus' style head on, suggesting that it is actually one of the most exciting aspects of his fiction: indeed, what Ian Duncan has called the 'elaborately literary narrative', at first sight a barrier, is in a sense what the novels are primarily 'about'. The book aims to show how inventive, witty, and entertaining Scott's richly allusive style is; how he keeps his varied readership on board with his own inexhaustible variety; and how he allows proponents of a wide range of positions to have their say, using a detached, ironic, but never cynical narrative voice to undermine the more rigid and inhumane rhetoric.

Victorian Sustainability in Literature and Culture

Women and Shakespeare's Cuckoldry Plays

Wendy Parkins Series: Among the Victorians and Modernists

Shifting Narratives of Marital Betrayal

From a growing awareness of the depletion of energy resources and the perils of environmental degradation to the founding of self-sufficient communities and the establishment of the National Trust, the concept of sustainability began to take on a new importance in the Victorian period. An emerging sense of the fragility of human and natural resources, and the deeply complex interweaving of the two, led many Victorians to consider how to preserve or protect what they valued, and how individuals, communities could survive and flourish in a world of finite resources.

In Shakespeare, Cuckoldry, and Women, Alfar explores the enabling function of bonds between women that allows them to work against the violent power of the men and to alter the dramatic direction, energy, and matter of the plays.

Zati and the Making of an Ottoman Poetic Canon Sooyong Kim The sixteenth century was a time when literature written in Turkish rapidly grew in parallel with an expanding bureaucratic state. The growing corpus, particularly of poetry, led to the compilation of a series of biographical dictionaries of poets; but until now, the part that such dictionaries played in the formation of a poetic canon, and by extension a literary canon, has not been fully explored. This book focuses on the work and reception of the poet Zati (1477-1546) during his lifetime and in the decades after.

Volume I

Volume I: Folklore, Mythology, Anthropology General and Theoretical

Arnold Schmidt Until recently, melodramatic plays received little scholarly attention but their value as reflections of Britain’s promulgation of imperial ideology, and its role in constructing and maintaining class, gender, and racial identities, have given discussions of melodrama force and momentum. The plays in included in these three volumes have never appeared in a critical anthology and most have not been republished since their original nineteenth-century editions. Each play is transcribed from the original documents with full annotations and comprehensive editorial apparatus. A bibliography, index, appendices and numerous images have been compiled to further aid study.

This bookrevises the periods, places, and topics usually associated with anti-colonialism and aesthetic experimentation in African literature, visiting Olive Schreiner as a theorist and practitioner of modernist form advancing towards an emergent postcolonialism. A theoretical concept of the role of primitivism and allegory within the context of modernism and associated critical theory is proposed through the integration of postcolonial, Marxist, and ecocritical approaches to literature, contextualised among other Southern African authors. This book joins modernist studies, ecocriticism, primitivism, and postcolonial studies and contributes to debates surrounding gender, race, and empire.
