Art, Race, and Fantastic Color Change in the Victorian Novel
Mary Elizabeth Braddon Writing in the Margins
Jessica Durgan Series: Among the Victorians and Modernists
Anne Marie Beller Series: The Nineteenth Century Series
As a study of color in the Victorian novel, this volume analyzes a peculiar literary phenomenon in which Victorian authors who were also trained as artists dream up fantastically colored characters for their fiction. These strange and eccentric characters include the purple madwoman Bertha Mason in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (1847), and the little yellow girls of Arthur Conan Doyle’s "The Yellow Face" (1893) and Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden (1911). These artist-authors draw on color’s traditional association with constructions of otherness to consider questions of identity and difference through the imaginative possibilities of color.
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.

Shelley's Romantic Nonviolence
Jeremy Tambling Series: Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature
Aesthetics and Politics in an Age of Revolution
This study of Nicholas Nickleby takes the Dickens novel which is perhaps the least critically discussed, though it is very popular, and examines its appeal and its significance, and finds it one of the most rewarding and powerful of Dickens’s texts. Dickens, Nicholas Nickleby, and the Dance of Death explores ways in which Dickens draws on medieval and baroque traditions in how he analyses death and its grotesquerie, especially drawing on the visual tradition of the ‘dance of death’ which is referred to here and which is prevalent throughout Dickens’s novels. This book is a major study which will help in the revaluation of Dickens’s early novels.
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. He shows how Shelley’s body or work reconceived the possibility of the political possibilities of art and explores the implications of Shelley's nonviolence for later artists and reformers such as George Bernard Shaw to Mohandas K. Gandhi.

2nd Edition
George Eliot’s Moral Aesthetic
Victorian Poetry
Compelling Contradictions
Poetry, Poetics and Politics
Constance Fulmer Series: Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature George Eliot’s serious readers have been intrigued by the fact that she declared that she had lost her faith in God and had renounced her hope for a traditional Christian heaven, yet continued to preach her own version of morality in everything she wrote. This volume aims to investigate Eliot’s ethical and artistic principles by defining her moral aesthetic as it relates to her self-concept and explores Eliot’s narrative decisions and the decisions made by her characters. Dr. Fulmer illuminates the paradoxes and contradictions in George Eliot’s life and in her philosophy by focusing on Eliot's use of animals, mirrors, windows, and other tangible images in her poetry as well as her novels.

Victorians and Their Animals Beast on a Leash Edited by Brenda Ayres Series: Perspectives on the Non-Human in Literature and Culture Victorians and Their Animals: Beast on a Leash, investigates the notion that British Victorians did see themselves as naturally dominant species over other humans and over animals. They conscientiously, hegemonically were determined to rule those beneath them and the animal within themselves albeit with varying degrees of success and failure. The articles in this collection apply posthuman and other theories, including queer, postcolonialism, deconstruction, and Marxism, in their exploration of Victorian attitudes toward animals.

Wordsworth and Evolution in Victorian Literature Entangled Influence Trenton B. Olsen Series: The Nineteenth Century Series The influences of William Wordsworth’s writing and evolutionary theory—the nineteenth century’s two defining visions of nature—conflicted in the Victorian period. For Victorians, Wordsworthian nature was a caring source of inspiration and moral guidance, signaling humanity's divine origins and potential. Darwin’s nature, by contrast, appeared as an indifferent and amoral reminder of an evolutionary past that demanded participation in a brutal struggle for existence. Victorian authors like Matthew Arnold, George Eliot, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Thomas Hardy grappled with these competing representations in their work.

Altered Consciousness in the Twentieth Century
George Orwell on the Radio
Jake Poller Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature
His Works in Sound Drama and Documentary
The twentieth century saw an unprecedented spike in the study of altered states of consciousness. New ASCs, such as those associated with LSD and psilocybin mushrooms, were cultivated and studied, while older ASCs were given new classifications: out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, psychokinesis, extrasensory perception. Altered Consciousness in the Twentieth Century analyses these different approaches and methodologies, and includes exciting new research into neglected areas. The collectionrepresents a vital contribution to the growing body of work on both ASCs and the wider academic engagement with millennialism, entheogens, occulture and the paranormal.
Assessing the quality and representation of George Orwell on the radio - the radio dramas he wrote himself and the dramatizations and documentaries of his fiction and nonfiction by others - this book explores the interaction of Orwell’s fiction, journalism and documentary writing with the audio/radio form. Exploring how Orwell helped to shape the very form of radio drama and documentary, Crook begins with Orwell’s own dramatizations of fiction and nonfiction for BBC radio during the Second World War. He follows Orwell’s career and legacy through the dramatizations of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty Four, concluding with a discussion of Orwell’s literature as spoken word.

Chronicling Ben-Hur's Early Reception
Noir and the Irish Nation
America’s Favorite Tale, 1880-1924
Contesting Irishness in Crime Fiction
Barbara Ryan
Maureen T. Reddy
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.
Examining the rise of Irish crime novels in the twenty-first century, Maureen Reddy argues that writers such as Ken Bruen, Benjamin Black, Tana French, Niamh O’Connor, Cormac Millar, Stuart Neville, Brian McGilloway, Declan Hughes, and Declan Burke are collectively working through the problem of defining Irishness and grappling with deep anxieties about a society that is rapidly changing in the face of a globalized, late capitalist culture.

Ecocriticism and the Poiesis of Form
The Aesthetics, Gender, and Feminism of the Beat Women
Holding on to Proteus Aaron Moe Series: Routledge Studies in World Literatures and the Environment Ecocriticism and the Poiesis of Form: Holding on to Proteus demonstrates how a fractal imagination helps one hold the form of a poem within the reaches of Deep Time, and it explores the kinship between the hazy, liminal moment when Sound becomes Syllable and the hazy, liminal moment when the sage energy of the Atom made a leap toward the gaze of the first cell, to echo Merwin. The volume foregrounds the insights of poets/storytellers including Hillman, Snyder, Anzaldúa, EEC, okpik, Whitman, Dickinson, Gladding, Melville, Morrison, and Toomer, for they are most attentive to that liminal moment when the vibratory hum in language, and in the cosmos, turns kinetic.
Polina Mackay, University of Nicosia, Cyprus Series: Routledge Transnational Perspectives on American Literature Examining a peculiarity in the legacy of the Beat Generation, this book considers the fact that a body of literature centered around the work of authors with misogynist tendencies has been a profound influence on later generations of female writers and artists who work through the prism of feminism.

The Stability of Laughter The Problem of Joy in Modernist Literature James Nikopoulos Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature A "sad and corrupt" age, a period of "crisis" and "upheaval"—what T.S. Eliot famously summed up as "the panorama of futility and anarchy which is contemporary history." Modernism has always been characterized by its self-conscious sense of suffering. Why, then, was it so obsessed with laughter? From Baudelaire, Nietzsche, Bergson and Freud to Pirandello, Beckett, Hughes, Barnes, and Joyce, no moment in cultural history has written about laughter this much. James Nikopoulos investigates modernity’s paradoxical relationship with mirth and our ongoing relationship with laughter.

This book will introduce indigenous perspectives and traditions as articulated by indigenous authors who have been projecting their voices into the national dialogue for a period of roughly 400 years. Paramount to this consideration of Native-centered reading is the understanding that literature was not something bestowed upon Native peoples by the dominant white culture either through benevolent interventions or violent programs of forced assimilation. Native literature precedes colonization and Native stories and traditions have their roots in both the precolonized and the decolonizing worlds.

Constructions of Agency in American Literature on the War of Independence
Roads, Mobility, and Violence in Indigenous Literature and Art from North America Deena Rymhs Series: Routledge Studies in World Literatures and the Environment
War as Action, 1775-1860 Martin Holtz Series: Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature This book argues that the negotiation of agency is central not only to the experience of war but also to its representation in cultural expressions, ranging from a notion of disablement, expressed in victimization, immobilization, traumatization, and death, to enablement, expressed in the perpetration of heroic, courageous, skillful, and powerful actions of assertion and dominance. In order to illustrate this thesis, it provides a comprehensive analysis of literary representations of the American War of Independence from 1775, the beginning of the war, up until roughly 1860, when the Civil War marked a decisive historical turning point.
Roads, Mobility, and Violence in Indigenous Literature and Art from North America explores mobility, spatialized violence, and geographies of activism in a diverse archive of literary and visual art by Indigenous authors and artists. For many Indigenous communities, the road has not often been so open. Recent Indigenous writing and visual art explores this tension between mobility and confinement. Drawing primarily on the work of Marie Clements, Tomson Highway, Marilyn Dumont, Leanne Simpson, Richard Van Camp, Kent Monkman, and Louise Erdrich, this volume examines histories of uprooting and violence associated with roads.

The Environmental Crisis Novel
The Evolution of American Transgressive Fiction 1960-2000
Ecological Death-facing in Contemporary British and North American Fiction
Coco d'Hont Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature Transgressive fiction explores the crossing of boundaries. Because of its extreme content and style, it is often considered controversial. However, transgressive fiction is not just shocking or disruptive. It is a continuation of an American tradition of creating culture through the crossing of moral, geographical and social boundaries. Extreme States traces the evolution of American transgressive fiction from the 1960s to 2000, exploring how transgressive fiction reflects, exaggerates and critically interrogates how central American ideologies are perpetually (re)constructed in its extra-textual context.

Louise Squire Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature In the contemporary era, literature has begun to respond to the environmental issues we currently face. In doing so, a new subgenre has emerged -- the environmental crisis novel. This new subgenre is concerned not just with a range of environmental issues but with the human subject as catalyst for these issues. As such, Louise Squire argues that the environmental crisis novel is distinguished by its narrative use of ‘death’ as a thematic device by which to explore these concerns. This use of death, enables fiction to engage with a range of theoretical ideas as well as with popular notions of death and the human condition, as cultural phenomena of the modern West.

We Find Ourselves in Other People’s Stories On Narrative Collapse and a Lifetime Search for Story Amy E.

Taken together, the essays theorize the relationships between language and violence, between narrative and dementia, between genre and certainty, and between writing and life.

Anna Fitzer Series: The Early Modern Englishwoman, 1500-1750: Contemporary Editions Frances Sheridan’s Eugenia and Adelaide is an astonishing first novel of parental tyranny, infidelity, and violence played out against the backdrop of continental Europe. Sheridan completed the novel in 1739 when she was just fifteen-years old and Eugenia and Adelaide would prove instrumental to the establishing of Sheridan’s literary reputation as one of the most successful novelists and dramatists of the mid-eighteenth century. This is the first modern edition of Eugenia and Adelaide to be published since the original posthumous publication of 1791 and presents a unique opportunity to explore Sheridan’s contribution to our current understandings of the history of women’s writing.

Before Crusoe
Jane Austen, George Eliot and the Reflective Tradition
Defoe, Voice, and the Ministry Penny Pritchard Series: Routledge Studies in Eighteenth-Century Literature
Rose Pimentel Series: The Nineteenth Century Series
Offering new perspective on the 1719 literary watershed that was Robinson Crusoe, this work argues that Defoe established a new form of moral authority through the spectrum of ‘voices’ which articulate his earlier works. Defoe’s profoundly ambivalent relationship with his London-based nonconformity, as well as the changing popular status of ministerial authority in the period, enabled his crafting of myriad anonymized personae across a diverse canon. This volume offers alternative readings of Robinson Crusoe and later novels, foregrounding Defoe’s reconfiguration of moral and religious authority.
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.

Nation-Space in Enlightenment Britain An Archaeology of Empire Mita Choudhury Series: Routledge Studies in Eighteenth-Century Literature Nation-Space in Enlightenment Britain: An Archaeology of Empire is a provocative intervention that extends considerably the parameters of on-going dialogues about British identity during the Enlightenment. Thoughtfully interdisciplinary and with an allegiance to the culture which literary production engenders, this book describes how British identity emerges not despite of but due to its fluid, volatile, and subversive impulses and expressions. Choudhury argues that imperial Britain can best be understood in terms of this culture’s investment in spatial alignments which celebrated a radial interface with remote points of commercial interest.

Philanthropy and Early Twentieth-Century Literature
The Collected Letters of Ellen Terry, Volume 8
Milena Radeva-Costello Series: Among the Victorians and Modernists Philanthropy and Early Twentieth-Century Literature explores the relationship between British literature and philanthropy at the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book considers how writers in the modernist period drew on the liberal welfare reforms, the adoption of scientific methods in charity, the Cambridge tradition of public service, the Irish nationalist movement, and the influence of the Victorian woman philanthropist in order to advocate for an individualist art, revolutionize their aesthetics, redefine ideals of hospitality and beneficence, and affirm the national, social, and economic liberation of the modern subject.

Children, Childhood, and Musical Theater 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.

Rumpelstiltskin’s Secret What Women Didn’t Tell the Grimms Harry Rand The fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin has a real meaning. Though it seems pointless, without a moral, certainly one of the most bizarre of the Grimms' stories, Rumpelstilskin’s Secret argues that the tale was composed by women, in large part, to ridicule men. Joking about male vanity the women who gathered nightly in their spinning circles, invented the Tale of Rumpelstiltskin mocking male impotence by creating a character who can get anything he wants by magic, except a child—thus leading to the infamous story of the spinning wheel and a girls promise to hand over her first born child. Through rigorous research and infallible scholarship, Harry Rand examines the region’s rich cultural history, gender tropes, and even linguistics-based arguments to make his case in this highly entertaining, if unexpectedly convincing study.

The Fairy Tale World Edited by Andrew Teverson, Kingston University, UK Series: Routledge Worlds Recent critical attention has transformed the fairy tale genre, away from the romantic notion of timeless tales of good and evil, to culturally astute narratives reflecting the historical and material circumstances of the societies in which they are produced. The 40 new essays in this volume will offer a comprehensive picture of the ‘critical turn’ in fairy tale studies whilst exploring a range of newly emerging directions in fairy tale criticism. Taking a very global perspective, The Fairy Tale World will broaden the international, cultural and critical scope of fairy tale studies, looking at issues such as colonialism, feminism, disability, sexuality, the environment and class.

Cervantes and the Early Modern Mind
Fortification and Its Discontents from Shakespeare to Milton
Edited by Isabel Jaen Portillo, Portland State University and Julien J. Simon, Indiana University East Series: Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture 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.

McKeown Series: Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture Fortification and Its Discontents from Shakespeare to Milton gives new coherence to the literature of the early modern Atlantic world by placing it in the context of radical changes to urban space following the Italian War of 1494-1498. The new walled city that emerged in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries on both sides of the Atlantic provided an outlet for a wide range of humanistic fascinations with urban design, composition, and community organization, but it also promoted centrality of control and subordinated the human environment to military functionality.

Early Modern English Marginalia
Impressive Shakespeare
Edited by Katherine Acheson, University of Waterloo Series: Material Readings in Early Modern Culture Marginalia in early modern and medieval texts – printed, handwritten, drawn, scratched, colored, and pasted in – offer a crazy quilt composed of fragments of how people, as individuals and in groups, interacted with books and manuscripts over often lengthy periods of time. This volume builds on earlier scholarship that established marginalia as intellectual method and raises broad historical, cultural, and theoretical questions about the relationship between animal parts and human society, the construction of authorship, the strange, marvelous, metamorphic thing we call the book, and the equally multiplicities, and inscrutable known as the reader.

Identity, Authority and the Imprint in Shakespearean Drama Harry Newman Series: Material Readings in Early Modern Culture Impressive Shakespeare reassesses Shakespeare’s relationship with "print culture" in light of his plays’ engagement with the language and material culture of three interrelated "impressing technologies": wax sealing, coining, and typographic printing. Through material readings of four plays—Coriolanus, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Measure for Measure and The Winter’s Tale—Harry Newman argues that Shakespeare deploys the imprint as a self-reflexive trope in order to advertise the value of his plays to audiences and readers, and that in turn the language of impression has shaped, and continues to shape, Shakespeare’s critical afterlife.

Early Modern Travel and the Discourses of English Nationalism

Matthew Day An exploration of the relationship between early modern travel literature and English nationalism, this book's primary goal is to assess the response of early modern readers to the nationalist sentiments in Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations. Matthew Day contends that Hakluyt's collection shaped nationalist thinking, ideas, and notions of identity; and that it influenced nationalist policies and actions in a number of key areas, including politics, navigation, exploration and trade.

Experimental Thinking and Human Analogies in Sidney and Spenser Brad Davin Tuggle Series: Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture Renaissance humanism takes as one of its subjects for inquiry the category of the human itself. As Intricate Movements shows, late sixteenth-century English poets found some remarkably radical ways to interrogate and redefine the status of humans. The recent vogue for posthumanist theory encourages a view of non-human objects and animals in Renaissance literature as pathways to essentially anti-humanist thought. On the contrary, this book argues that Sidney, Spenser, and their contemporaries employ animals, earth, buildings, and fictions as analogies employed toward a better understanding of what makes humans a special category, both ontologically and ethically.

Mary Wroth's Pamphilia to Amphilanthus
The Early Modern English Calendar
A Re-Appraisal
A Reference Guide
Ilona Bell
Phebe Jensen
In this first full-length study of Pamphilia to Amphilanthus, the first sonnet sequence to be written and published by an English woman, Ilona Bell shows that Mary Wroth is a boldly original lyric poet. Bell traces how Wroth re-conceptualized the private poems of her father Robert Sidney and the influential sonnets of her famous uncle Philip Sidney. Ultimately she discloses that Wroth's innovative use of poetic convention reinterprets and reconfigures male literary tradition and challenges paradigms about early modern English women writers that have erroneously separated them from their continental counterparts.
Depending on variables such as rank, level of literacy, gender, and occupation, English society in the early modern period operated according to a number of different calendrical time schemes. These included the astronomical time that fundamentally set the duration of days and years; the seasons, holy days, and saint’s days of the early Reformation church; the agricultural calendar; legal and royal court calendars; miscellaneous anniversaries marking national, regional, and local events; and medical guides indicating the best times for bleeding, purging, dietary restrictions, and bathing. The Early Modern English Calendar guides readers through the multiple, often conflicting time schemes that governed the reckoning of the year in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England.

Alvin Snider, University of Iowa, USA Series: Perspectives on the Non-Human in Literature and 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 17thcentury 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.
Looking beyond Don Quixote and the popular theater, this study brings together non-canonical works from Spanish and Spanish American colonial writers in diverse genres, to illustrate the multi-faceted possibilities and the cultural limitations of representations of mothers and mothering in this period.

Sophie Duncan, Magdalen College, Oxford University Series: Routledge Studies in Shakespeare The cognitive turn in performance studies has given us dynamic new paradigms for understanding playwriting, acting and spectatorship in Shakespeare’s theatre. In cognitive science, debates on the location and constitution of thought are intensifying: since 2013, scrutiny has fallen on extended cognition, which hypothesizes that "beyond-the-skull-and-skin" objects (Wheeler 2013) collaborate in cognition with neural and non-neural bodily processes. Shakespeare’s Props: Memory and Cognition, is the first book to fully explore how Shakespeare and his playwrighting contemporaries went beyond-the-skull-and-skin to experiment with ideas of extended cognition through theatre props.

Edited by Elaine Hobby Series: Literary and Scientific Cultures of Early Modernity Disseminated in cheap octavo formats and in vernacular translations, the early modern midwifery books were an accessible source of information and advice on sexual life. In mapping the development of the English-language midwifery manual, Elaine Hobby begins with the first known example, The Byrth of Mankynde (1540); examines developments stimulated by the work of the civil war radical, Nicholas Culpeper; and concludes with a discussion of post-Restoration manuals such as Jane Sharp's The Midwives Book. Hobby shows how materials that appeared in early-modern midwifery manuals were borrowed from other contemporary works, such as surgeons' manuals, travelogues, and cookery books.

Inscribed Identities Life Writing as Self-Realization Edited by Joan Ramon Resina Series: Routledge Auto/Biography Studies Autobiography is a long-established literary modality of self-exposure with commanding works such as Augustine’s Confessions, Rousseau’s book of the same title, and Salvador Dalí’s paradoxical reformulation of that title in his Unspeakable Confessions. Like all genres with a distinguished career, autobiography has elicited a fair amount of critical and theoretical reflection. Awareness of language’s performativity permits us to read life-writing texts not as a record but as the space where the self is realized, or in some instances de-realized. Such texts can build identity, but they can also contest ascribed identity by producing alternative or disjointed scenarios of identification.

Arthur Morrison and the East End
Moral Cupidity and Lettres de cachet in Diderot’s Writing
The Legacy of Slum Fictions Eliza Cubitt Series: Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature This, the first critical biography of Arthur Morrison (1863-1945), presents his East End writing as the counter-myth to the cultural production of the East End in late-Victorian realism. Morrison’s works, particularly Tales of Mean Streets (1894) and A Child of the Jago (1896), are often discussed as epitomes of slum fictions of the 1890s as well as prime examples of nineteenth-century realism, but their complex contemporary reception reveals the intricate paradoxes involved in representing the turn-of-the-century city. Arthur Morrison and the East End examines how an understanding of the East End in the Victorian cultural imagination operates in Morrison’s own writing.
Jennifer Vanderheyden Series: Routledge Studies in Eighteenth-Century Literature This volume explores the influence of the lettre de cachet on both Diderot’s personal life and his works, beginning with an examination of Diderot’s experience as recipient of two such arrest warrants, followed by an analysis of his references to these warrants in three of his fictional works, Le Père de famille, Jacques le fataliste and Est-il bon? Est-il méchant?. The exploration of a fascinating real-life case of Henriette-Émilie de Bautru, a young comtesse whose mother confined her to a convent as a result of a lettre de cachet also based on motives of greed, leads to an examination of the similarities between Suzanne and the Comtesse in terms of their illegitimacy.

Cultural Evolution and its Discontents
The Radical Ecology of the Shelleys
Cognitive Overload, Parasitic Cultures, and the Humanistic Cure
Eros and Environment
Robert N. Watson Series: Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory People worry that computers, robots, interstellar aliens, or Satan himself – brilliant, stealthy, ruthless creatures – may seize control of our world and destroy what’s uniquely valuable about the human race. Cultural Evolution and its Discontents shows that our cultural systems – especially those whose last names are "ism" – are already doing that, and doing it so adeptly that we seldom even notice.

Colin Carman Series: Routledge Studies in World Literatures and the Environment The Radical Ecology of the Shelleys: Eros and Environment is the first full-length study to explore a radically queer ecology at work in writings by Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley as their discussions of nature and the natural consistently link ecology and erotic practice. The issues raised by Eros and Environment are fundamental not only to literary and queer history but to all humanistic studies. They render the study of nature from a queer perspective a matter of intense interest to scholars in numerous disciplines ranging from ecocriticism and the natural sciences, including climate studies, to feminist criticism and sexuality studies.

Human Minds and Animal Stories
Women's Emancipation Writing at the Fin de Siecle
How Narratives Make Us Care About Other Species Wojciech Małecki, Piotr Sorokowski, Bogusław Pawłowski and Marcin Cieński Series: Routledge Studies in World Literatures and the Environment The power of stories to raise our concern for animals has been postulated throughout history by countless scholars, activists, and writers, including such greats as Thomas Hardy and Leo Tolstoy. This is the first book to investigate that power and explain the psychological and cultural mechanisms behind it. Combining psychological research with insights from animal studies, ecocriticism and other fields in the environmental humanities, the book not only provides evidence that animal stories can make us care for other species, but also shows that their effects are more complex and fascinating than we have ever thought.

Edited by Elena V. Shabliy, Dmitry Kurochkin and O’Donnell Karen Series: Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature Many novelists in various national literatures touched upon the theme of an emancipated woman in the long nineteenth century and at the fin de siècle. Philosophers, poets, writers, and journalists were concerned with this problem and began popularizing wholeheartedly the so-called "burning" questions. The new femininity was represented not only in the Christian context; many other traditions and cultures opened the discussion about the women’s lot. This volume analyzes women’s voices from different parts of the world—Turkey, England, the U.S., Italy, Russia, Spain, and others.

Edited by Mario Klarer, University of Innsbruck, Austria Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature
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 Field Guide to Book History
Ouida (1839-1908) in Transnational Popular Culture
Researching the Material Book
A Literary Life at the Margins
Ann R. Hawkins and Maura Ives
Andrew King Series: The Nineteenth Century Series
As book historians will attest, students are usually surprised to learn that a book’s container can matter deeply when it comes to understanding the value placed on it by the work’s original readers. A Field Guide to Book History provides students and researchers new to the field the information and interpretive skills necessary for the material study of the book. Focusing on books published in England and America from the end of the eighteenth century to the present, Ann R. Hawkins and Maura Ives trace the complex transition from handmade to machine-made objects. They begin with an overview of theories of the book and book production, followed by an introduction to the parts of the book (Just what is a fore-edge?) and its common features.

Ouida was the one of the best known and best-selling authors of the nineteenth century. Informed by unknown or neglected sources in English and Italian, Andrew King’s biography interlaces the story of Ouida’s life with new readings of her works and analyses of Victorian popular culture, the transnational culture industries, and our investment in Ouida as either a disparaged figure of ridicule or as a precursor of an alternative, less oppressive regime.

Before Emotion: The Language of Feeling, 400-1800 Edited by JUANITA RUYS, Michael Champion and Kirk Essary Series: Routledge Studies in Medieval Literature and Culture Before Emotion: The Language of Feeling, 400-1800 advances current interdisciplinary research in the history of emotions through in-depth studies of the European language of emotion from late antiquity to the modern period. Focusing specifically on the premodern cognates of ‘affect’ or ‘affection’, an international team of scholars explores the cultural and intellectual contexts in which emotion was discussed before the term ‘emotion’ itself came into widespread use. By tracing the history of key terms and concepts associated with what we identify as ‘emotions’ today, the volume offers a first-time critical foundation for understanding pre- and early modern emotions discourse.

California and the Melancholic American Identity in Joan Didion’s Novels
The Evangelical Party and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Return to the Church of England
Exiled from Eden Katarzyna Nowak McNeice Series: Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory This book focuses on the concept of Californian identity in the fiction of Joan Didion. Curiously enough, Didion presents Californian history as a history of white settlement, disregarding whole chapters of the history of the region in which the Californios and Native Americans, among other groups, played a crucial role: it is this reticence that the monograph sees as the main problem of Didion’s fiction and presents it as the silent center of gravity in Didion’s oeuvre. The monograph proposes to see the melancholy expressed by Didion’s fiction organized into four losses: of Nature, History, Ethics, and Language; around which the main analytical chapters are constructed.

Christopher W Corbin Series: Routledge Studies in Romanticism When Samuel Taylor Coleridge rejected the Unitarianism of his youth and returned to the Church of England, he did so while accepting a general Christian orthodoxy. When placed in a chronological context, Coleridge’s form of Christian orthodoxy developed in conversation with Anglican Evangelicals, which likely helped facilitate his return to the Church of England. Corbin not only demonstrates the similarities between Coleridge’s relationship to a form of evangelicalism with which most people have little familiarity, but also offers greater insight into the complexities and tensions of religious identity in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain as a whole.

Henry James' Travel Fiction and Non-Fiction Edited by Mirosława Buchholtz Each chapter of Henry James' Travel addresses a different selection of James’ work and offers a different approach towards the ideas that are still with us today: history reflected in art and architecture, the tourist gaze, the museum culture, transnationalism and the return home. As a whole, the book encompasses both early and late fiction and non-fiction by Henry James, giving the reader a sense of how his idea of travel evolved over several decades of his creative activity and shows how thin the line between fiction and non-fiction travel writing really is.

Narrative Reliability, Racial Conflicts and Ideology in the Modern Novel Edited by Marta Puxan-Oliva Series: Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory How does racial ideology contribute to the exploration of narrative voice? How does narrative reliability help in the production and critique of racial ideologies? Through a refreshing analysis of well-established novels by Joseph Conrad, William Faulkner, James Weldon Johnson, Albert Camus and Alejo Carpentier, this book explores the racial politics of literary form from a comparative perspective. Narrative Reliability, Racial Conflicts and Ideology in the Modern Novel contributes to the emergent effort of revealing the need of literary studies to pay attention to the interrelation of form and politics, which has been underexplored in narrative theory and comparative racial studies.

Beards and Masculinity in American Literature
Literature and Poverty
Peter Ferry, University of Cordoba, Spain Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature
David Aberbach, McGill University, Montreal, Canada
From the Hebrew Bible to the Second World War
Beards and Masculinity in American Literature presents the social, historical, gender, and political power of facial hair in the representation of masculinities in American prose and poetry. Employing cutting-edge theories from the fields of Gender Studies, Masculinity Studies, and Queer Studies, author Peter Ferry unlocks the sociological symbolism of the growth, wearing, or indeed shaving of American facial hair at key points in the American literary tradition. Such an approach identifies the beard, in all its stylizations, as a device for revealing and reflecting upon the issues that define the performance of American masculinity in American writing.

Literature and Poverty offers a historical overview of how the perception of poverty has transformed over time. The book is divided into two sections: the first, from the Hebrew Bible to the French Revolution provides essential background information for the second part of the book; from the French Revolution to the Second World War. Aberbach uses literature – from the bible, through Shakespeare, Wordsworth, and Orwell – to show how the perception of poverty changed from being an endemic and unavoidable fact of life to a challenge for equality that might be attainable through a moral and rational society. Providing a thorough literary and social history of poverty, this book argues for the relevance of studying poverty in understanding current problems in International Development.

Caring for Community
Social Darwinism in the French Ideological Novel
Towards a New Ethics of Responsibility in Contemporary Postcolonial Novels
Louise Lyle
Marijke Denger Series: Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literatures Caring for Community: Towards a New Ethics of Responsibility in Contemporary Postcolonial Novels focuses on four highly acclaimed publications in order to argue for a new understanding of community and its ethical framework in recent literary texts. Overall, this book establishes that the novels’ protagonists, by investing in an ethics of responsibility that does not require reciprocity, acquire the agency to envisage new forms of community. By reflecting on the nature and effect of this agency and its representation in contemporary literary texts, the book also considers the role of postcolonial studies in addressing highly topical questions regarding our co-existence
Examining French ideological novels, Louise Lyle charts the development of French hostility towards social Darwinism during the fin de siècle. Lyle argues that the antagonism of a wide range of authors from diverse literary schools was a consequence of and a response to historically specific insecurities relative to the state of the French nation. Grounded in the cultural history of biology, Lyle's study is an important contribution to literature and the history of science.

Written by a team of international scholars and experts in the field, the chapters are grouped into two large areas of influence and intertextuality, corresponding to the dual way in which early modern England looked upon the Italian world from the English perspective. Constructed on the basis of a largely interdisciplinary approach, the volume offers an in-depth and wide-ranging treatment of the ways in which Italy’s material world and its iconologies are represented, appropriated, and exploited.

Writing the Other in Arab North Africa
Magical Realism as Environmental Discourse
Tanja Stampfl, University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, TX, USA Series: Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literatures
Ben Holgate Series: Routledge Studies in World Literatures and the Environment
A Century of Encounters analyzes Arab, American, and European literary depictions of the self and other as they interact with each other in Arab North Africa throughout the twentieth century and introduces the trope of the encounter as a lens through which to read contemporary world literature comparatively. This book illustrates connections between literary texts that have hitherto been overlooked and establishes an intertextual genealogy of transcultural encounters throughout the twentieth century. In its literary analysis, A Century of Encounters aims to contribute to constructive cross-cultural interactions between the United States, Europe, and Arab North Africa in particular.
Climate and Crises: Magical Realism as Environmental Discourse makes a dual intervention in both world literature and ecocriticism by examining magical realism as an international style of writing that has long-standing links with environmental literature. Magical realism enables writers to portray alternative intellectual paradigms, ontologies and epistemologies that typically contest the scientific rationalism derived from the European Enlightenment, and the exploitation of natural resources associated with both capitalism and imperialism. Climate and Crises explores the overlaps between magical realism and environmental literature.

Supernatural beings that drink blood are found in folklore worldwide and writers ranging from the most canonical to the most marginal have written vampire stories. This volume will be of interest to Anglophone Gothic scholars who want to develop their knowledge of the Spanish dimension of the mode and to Hispanists who want to look at some canonical texts and authors from a new perspective but also gain an awareness of some interesting and decidedly non-canonical material.

Routledge Companion to Shen Congwen Edited by Gang Zhou, Jeffrey C Kinkley and Sihe Chen Series: Chinese Literature Series from a Global Perspective This volume is about studies of Shen Congwen (1902-1988), one of the most important writers in modern China, but more importantly, it is about how Shen Congwen has been received in and beyond Mainland China. By presenting the best literary criticism on Shen Congwen in Mainland China over the past eighty years, and views of how Shen Congwen has been understood, interpreted, and appreciated in Japan, the US, France, and other European countries, the editors propose a new way to approach the topics of canonic writers, modern Chinese literature, and world literature.

The Future of Reading Eric Purchase Why do we read? What happens to our imaginations when we read? To our knowledge? What creative forces are unleashed? What are the wider implications of all of this? In a truly engaging and accessible style, The Future of Reading looks at the very experience of reading. Rather than analysing or critiquing texts, it examines what happens to us when we read: the way reading frees us from certain boundaries and constraints, and then looks at how we can use this freedom of mind to creatively tackle much larger issues in the world. As enjoyable as it is astute, this book will open up the reading experience for students and all readers interested in using literature and reading as a positive force in their lives, and the world.

Medieval Gossips and the Art of Listening Avid Ears Christine Neufeld Series: Routledge Studies in Medieval Literature and Culture Arguing that women’s "silencing" is in part the result of women’s voices being treated as the white noise of history, Medieval Gossips and the Art of Listening: Avid Ears explores the historical representation of female voices as actual acoustic phenomena. The volume focuses on English antifeminist satire during the linguistically dynamic late Middle Ages to argue that the resonant gossips’ circle offers a cultural poetics of listening for those attentive to medieval auditory regimes. As the first monograph to use sound studies to explore how gender registers in the medieval soundscape, Avid Ears attunes critics to how and what we hear when women speak in literature.

Zöopedagogies Creatures as Teachers in Middle English Romance Bonnie J. Erwin Series: Routledge Studies in Medieval Literature and Culture The human protagonists of medieval romance are works in progress. They are learners, taught by an unexpected set of teachers: non-human animals including horses, raptors, lions, and other species. These "creature teachers" show humans how to be more perfectly human—how to love, fight, survive, and live according to medieval culture’s highest ideals. Zöopedagogies is the first monograph to explore the pedagogical function of animals in medieval romance, a genre whose surreal elements enable animal characters to behave in ways inspired by, but not limited to their real-world actions.

Adorno and the Architects of Late Style in India
Literary and Cultural Alternatives to Modernism
Tania Roy
Edited by Kostas Boyiopoulos, Anthony Patterson and Mark Sandy, University of Durham, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature
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.
The 17 essays of Unsettling Presences investigate writers and texts stretching from 1890 to 1939, from both within and outside of the Modernist canon. They explore tensions, convergences, and differences between the dominant Modernists and lesser-known figures. Not only do they examine the alternative vision of populist writers such as Wells and Bennett, but also discuss figures who flirt both with cultural elitism and realism, such as E. M. Forster.

Annotating Modernism
Lucas Malet, Dissident Pilgrim
Marginalia and Pedagogy from Virginia Woolf to the Confessional Poets
Critical Essays
Amanda Golden
Edited by Jane Ford and Alexandra Gray Series: Among the Victorians and Modernists
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.
Popular novelist, female aesthete, Victorian radical and proto-modernist, Lucas Malet was one of the most successful writers of her day, yet few of her remarkable novels remain in print. This collection brings together for the first time a selection of scholarly essays on Malet’s life and writing, foregrounding her contributions to nineteenth- and twentieth-century discourses surrounding disability, psychology, religion, sexuality, the New Woman, and decadent, aesthetic and modernist cultural movements. The collection asks the question ‘who was Lucas Malet?’ and ‘how—despite its popularity—did her courageous, unique and fascinating writing disappear from view for so long?’

Feminist Modernism, Poetics, and the New Economy Mina Loy, Lola Ridge, and Marianne Moore Linda A. Kinnahan Series: Among the Victorians and Modernists
Ultra-Modern Eves
In Feminist Modernism, Poetics, and the New Economy, Linda A. Kinnahan argues that the work of Mina Loy, Lola Ridge, and Marianne Moore engages with the variations in feminist economic thought and discourse that developed in American culture from the 1890s through the 1920s. Kinnahan positions her study in relationship to the gendered field of economic discourse and cultural change that attended corporate consumer capitalism's astonishing ascendance before the collapse of the Great Depression. Focusing primarily on poetry written and published early in the poets' careers, Kinnahan considers each of the writers alongside a particular strand of the era's feminist economic thought: Mina Loy and debates relating to Emma Goldman, Margaret Sanger, and other contemporary feminists; Lola Ridge and concepts of labor and the working woman; and Marianne Moore and the systems of exchange, value, labor, and possession that underlie tensions between modern consumption and human need.

This book explores the treatment of modernism and modernity in early 20 -century British women’s magazines. Tracing modernism’s presence in Vogue (UK), Eve: The Lady’s Pictorial, Good Housekeeping (UK) and Harper’s Bazaar (UK) published from 1916–1940, Wood uncovers how modernism was received, disseminated, and shaped by fashion and domestic titles in this period, and recovers experimental journalism and fiction by writers including Holtby, Macaulay, Stein, and Woolf. Analysis of editorial, feature, and advertising content is alert to interactions between word and image and reveals how modernism was mediated in relation to fashion, modernity, celebrity, and pleasure in these texts.

MODERNISM Dummy text to keep placeholder
Modernism, Feminism and Everyday Life 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.

The Limits of Cosmopolitanism Globalization and Its Discontents in Contemporary Literature Edited by Aleksandar Stevic and Philip Tai-Hang Tsang Series: Routledge Studies in Comparative Literature We live in a world in which engagement with strangers is no longer optional, and in which inherited ethnic identities and familiar linguistic and territorial boundaries are put under increasing pressure by globalization. They are, however, not obliterated: various residual elements—nation states, ethnic and linguistic loyalties—uneasily coexist with aspects of an emerging configuration, including supranational economic and political developments and an overall sense of cultural fluidity. This volume focuses on contemporary world literature and the ways in which it responds to the state of inescapable cosmopolitanism is a way that hasn't been done before.

Engagements with Shakespearean Drama
Shakespeare and Rome
William Walker Series: Routledge Engagements with Literature
Graham Holderness Series: Anglo-Italian Renaissance Studies
Rather than treating the plays as objects to be studied, described and interpreted, Engagements with Shakespeare examines precisely what about Shakespeare’s plays is so special. This book argues that what makes the plays great is that they encourage a wide range of intense, pleasurable and valuable experiences. This highly personal approach allows students to take their own responses seriously as grounds for assessing their success and quality. The book also engages with the essential criticism of the plays from Shakespeare’s time to our own, equipping students to engage in contemporary debates about the nature and achievement of Shakespearean drama.
Relating Shakespeare's Roman works to a longer history of the city of Rome, author Graham Holderness reads Shakespeare's Roman plays via a double perspective, the ancient and the modern. He argues that for Shakespeare, Rome was not simply the republic and empire of antiquity, but a contemporary place that possessed its own meanings, retained its own legacies from the past, and was in the process of generating new meanings.

Francis Bacon’s Contribution to Shakespeare
Shakespeare and Symbolic Visuality
A New Attribution Method
Shakespeare’s Use of Emblem and Iconography
Barry R. Clarke Series: Routledge Studies in Shakespeare Here, the middle ground is adopted between competing so-called Stratfordian and alternative single-author conspiracy theories. In the process, arguments are advanced as to why Shake-speare’s First Folio (1623) presents as an unreliable document for attribution, and why contemporary opinion characterised Shakspere of Stratford as an opportunist businessman who acquired the work of others. With a Foreword by Sir Mark Rylance, this meticulously researched and penetrating study is a thought-provoking read for the inquisitive student in Shakespeare Studies.
Peter Daly From one of the world leading scholars in emblematics, this book seeks to demonstrate the extent to which Shakespeare used symbolic visually in his use of the stage and objects in his infamous plays. Using obvious examples such as Hamlet's sword or Shylock’s knife and less obvious ones like Ophelia's book to drive home his argument, Peter Daly draws on a range of works to show the underlining roles of the emblems used and the overarching iconography in Shakespeare's work.

Perspectives Past and Present Keith Johnson This project offers an overview of the rich and dynamic history of the reception and study of Shakespeare’s language from his death right up to the present. The historical approach provides a comprehensive overview, plotting the attitudes towards Shakespeare’s language, as well as a history of its study. This approach reveals how different cultural, literary and linguistic climates have moulded these attitudes and reflects changing linguistic climates. Shakespeare’s Language is therefore not only an essential guide to the language of Shakespeare, but offers crucial insights to broader approaches to language as a whole.
