Present Tense
Christopher Schaberg, Loyola University New
Orleans, USA
A Poetics
"A strong and innovative book. The End of
Airports finds new ways to think about, among
other things, drones, airport/aircraft seating,
weather, jet bridges, viral stories about flight,
tensions with new media expectations and
technologies, and seatback pockets. A fascinating
read for anyone interested in airports and airplanes, but also
for readers of cultural studies, media studies, and creative
nonfiction." Kathleen C. Stewart, The University of Texas at Austin,
USA
"Thanks to Schaberg the airport may become the new figure
with which to think place, time, labor, leisure, organization, and
communication, as well as hope, fatigue, loneliness, and desire."

The Bloomsbury Introduction to
Adaptation Studies
Adapting the Canon in Film, TV, Novels
and Popular Culture
Yvonne Griggs, University of New England,
Australia
Adaptations of literary classics are a constant
feature of popular culture today. This textbook helps students master
the history, theory and practice of analysing literary adaptations.
The book includes chapter overviews and a glossary of critical terms
to give students quick access to key information for further study,
reference and revision and covers adaptations of: Frankenstein;
Little Women; Jane Eyre; Great Expectations; The Turn of the
Screw; Hamlet; The Great Gatsby; One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest;
Atonement.
Armen Avanessian & Anke Hennig, both at Free
University Berlin, Germany
“Drawing on narratology, cognitive science,
deconstruction and philosophy of language,
Avanessian and Hennig reconceptualize the
relation between time and narrative; what
is more, they rethink poetics as an expanded cultural theory
concerned with human world-making. An impressive tour de
force.” Andreas Gailus, University of Michigan, USA
L iterary T heory
The End of Airports
The invention of the present-tense novel is a literary event whose
importance is on par with the discovery of perspective in painting.
This book describes how the present tense was invented and why the
poetics of the present tense novel is essential for an understanding
of contemporary literature and the evolution of the novel since
modernism.

Macbeth, Macbeth
Ewan Fernie, University of Birmingham, UK & Simon Palfrey
William Shakespeare’s Macbeth – pored over by students and critics
for generations – is one of the most familiar works of literature in
the Western canon. Macbeth, Macbeth explores how, through the act
of re-imagining the story of the play, we as readers might return to
Shakespeare’s tragedy with fresh eyes. In Macbeth, Macbeth, Ewan
Fernie and Simon Palfrey construct a prose adaptation of the
Macbeth story, with critical commentary throughout, exploring the
process of adaptation from the inside and its roots and sources in
Shakespeare’s text.

The Modes of Modern Writing
Metaphor, Metonymy, and the Typology of
Modern Literature
David Lodge
The Modes of Modern Writing tackles some of the
fundamental questions we encounter when studying
or reading literature, such as: what is literature?
What is realism? What is relationship between form
and content? In answering these questions, the book examines texts
by a wide range of modern novelists and poets, including James
Joyce, T.S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell, Virginia Woolf,
Samuel Beckett and Philip Larkin, and draws on the work of literary
theorists from Roman Jakobson to Roland Barthes. The Bloomsbury
Revelations edition includes a new Foreword and Afterword by the
author.

British Working-Class Fiction
The Slow Philosophy of J.M. Coetzee
Narratives of Refusal and the Struggle
Against Work
Jan Wilm
Roberto del Valle Alcalá
British Working-Class Fiction offers an account of
British literary responses to work from the ‘affluent’
1950s to the onset of the ‘Great Recession’. Alcalá
argues that throughout this period, workingclass writing developed new strategies of resistance against the
social discipline imposed by capitalist work. Drawing on the work
of theorists including Deleuze and Guattari, Giorgio Agamben and
Antonio Negri Alcalá offers an innovative account of British literary
treatments of work. The book includes close readings of fiction by
Alan Sillitoe, David Storey, Nell Dunn, Pat Barker, James Kelman,
Irvine Welsh, Monica Ali, and Joanna Kavenna.

Rethinking Joseph Conrad’s
Concepts of Community
Strange Fraternity
Kaoru Yamamoto
Rethinking Joseph Conrad’s Concepts of Community
uses Conrad’s phrase ‘strange fraternity’ from The
Rover as a starting point for an exploration of the
concept of community in his writing, including
his neglected vignettes and later stories. Drawing on the work of
continental thinkers including Jacques Derrida, Jean Luc-Nancy and
Hannah Arendt Yamamoto offers original readings of The Heart of
Darkness, The Nigger of the ‘Narcissus’, The Rover and Suspense and
the short stories “The Secret Sharer”, “The Warrior’s Soul” and “The
Duel”. Working at the intersection between literature and philosophy
this is unique and interdisciplinary engagement with Conrad’s work.

Literature and the Suffering Body
Susannah B. Mintz, Skidmore College, USA
"A brilliant analysis of pain refracted through
genre." Merri Lisa Johnson, University of South
Carolina, USA
"An informed, provocative, important book." Sara
van den Berg, St Louis University, USA
Hurt and Pain examines the strategies authors have used to portray
bodies in pain, drawing on a diverse range of literary texts from the
seventeenth century to the present day. Susannah B. Mintz provides
readings of canonical writers including John Donne, Emily Dickinson,
and Samuel Beckett, alongside contemporary writers such as Ana
Castillo and Margaret Edson and writers in a wide range of genres:

In The Slow Philosophy of J.M. Coetzee Jan Wilm analyses Coetzee’s
singular aesthetic style which, he argues, provokes the reader to read
his works slowly. Drawing on fresh archival material, this is the first
study of its kind to explore Coetzee’s writing process as already slow;
as a program of seemingly relentless revision which brings forth his
uniquely dense and crystalline style. The book includes close readings
of Coetzee's popular and lesser known work, including Disgrace,
Waiting for the Barbarians, Elizabeth Costello, Life and Times of
Michael K and Slow Man.

The Pathos of Distance
Affects of the Moderns
Jean-Michel Rabaté, University of Pennsylvania,
USA
Rabaté uses Nietzsche’s image of a “pathos of
distance,” the notion that certain values cannot
originate in a community but are created by a
few gifted and lofty individuals, as the basis for a
wide-ranging investigation into the ethics of the moderns. By first
establishing an unlikely meeting of Nietzsche and Benjamin through
their ideas of history and ethics, Rabaté is able to provide an original
genealogy for the ethics of the modern, moving through figures and
moments as varied as Yeats, Woolf, Rilke, Apollinaire, Gide, Derrida,
and Joyce. The result is a fascinating critique of Nietzsche, Benjamin,
affect theory, and the origins of the ethics of modernism.

The New Human in Literature
Posthuman Visions of Changes in Body,
Mind and Society after 1900
Mads Rosendahl Thomsen, Aarhus University,
Denmark
Twentieth-century literature changed
understandings of what it meant to be human. Mads
Rosendahl Thomsen here chronicles literature's
changing ideas of mankind, questioning the degree to which
literature records and creates visions of the new human.
Grounded in the theory of Niklas Luhmann, Thomsen uses literary
changes in the mind, body and society to define the new human. He
begins with the modernist minds of Virginia Woolf, Williams Carlos
Williams and Louis-Ferdinand Celine's, the society-changing concepts
envisioned by Chinua Achebe, Mo Yan and Orhan Pamuk and ends with
Don DeLillo and Michel Houellebecq's ideas of revolutionizing man
through biotechnology.

Object Lessons is a series of concise, collectable, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Each book starts from
a specific inspiration: an historical event, a literary passage, a personal narrative, a technological innovation—and from that starting point
explores the object of the title, gleaning a singular lesson or multiple lessons along the way. Featuring contributions from writers, artists,
scholars, journalists, and others, the emphasis throughout is lucid writing, imagination, and brevity. Object Lessons paints a picture of the
world around us, and tells the story of how we got here, one object at a time.
Glass
Hotel
John Garrison, Carroll University, USA
Joanna Walsh, Writer and Illustrator, UK
Look around and you will see that you are
surrounded by glass. It reflects and refracts light
through your windows; it encircles a glowing filament
above you; it’s in a mirror hanging on the wall; it lies
shattered in a dented corner of an iPhone—you’re
drinking water out of a pint glass. Taking up a most
common object, rarely considered because assumed
to be transparent, John Garrison draws evocative connections between
historical depictions of glass and emerging visions that see it as holding
a unique promise for new forms of interaction.

Phone Booth
“A slim, sharp meditation on hotels and desire.”
The Paris Review
L iterary T heory
Object Lessons
“Joanna Walsh is fast becoming one of our most
important writers. Hotel is a dazzling tour de
force of embodied ideas.” Deborah Levy, author of
Black Vodka
Luxury, sex, power, anonymity, privacy: hotels are where our desires
go on holiday, but also places where our desires are shaped by the
hard realities of the marketplace. Part memoir and part meditation,
Hotel visits a series of rooms, suites, hallways, and lobbies—the
spaces and things that make up these modern sites of gathering and
alienation: hotels.

Ariana Kelly, Harvard-Westlake School, USA
"Fascinated and attuned, I was cabled into Phone
Booth. Ariana Kelly replenishes the work on
speculative telephony in an altogether compelling
way." Avital Ronell, New York University, USA
The phone booth exists as a fond but distant memory
for some people, and as a strange and dysfunctional
waste of space for many more. Ariana Kelly approaches the phone
booth as an entity that embodies diverse attitudes about privacy,
freedom, power, sanctuary, and communication in its various forms all
around the world. Through portrayals of phone booths in literature,
film, personal narrative, philosophy, and religion, Phone Booth offers
a definitive account of an object on the cusp of obsolescence.

Silence
John Biguenet, Loyola University, New Orleans,

"When I realized I was making notes on memorable

Valerie Martin, Orange Prize-winning novelist
Refrigerator
Jonathan Rees, Colorado State University Pueblo, USA
It may be responsible for a greater improvement in
human diet and longevity than any other technology
of the last two thousand years—but have you ever
thought seriously about your refrigerator? That box
humming in the background displays more than you
might expect, even who you are and the society in
which you live. Jonathan Rees examines the past, present, and future
of the household refrigerator with the aim of preventing its users
from ever taking it for granted again. No mere container for cold
Cokes and celery stalks, the refrigerator acts as a mirror—and what it
reflects is chilling indeed.

Waste
Brian Thill, Golden West College, USA
What is silence? In a series of short meditations,
novelist and playwright John Biguenet considers silence as a servant
of power, as a lie, as a punishment, as the voice of God, as a
terrorist’s final weapon, as a luxury good, as the reason for torture—
in short, as an object we both do and do not recognize. Concluding
with the prospects for its future in a world burgeoning with noise,
Biguenet asks whether we should desire or fear silence—or if it is
even ours to choose.
Though we try to imagine otherwise, waste is every
object, plus time. Whatever else an object is, it’s
also waste—or was, or will be. All that is needed
is time or a change of sentiment or circumstance.
Waste is not merely the field of discarded objects,
but the name we give to our troubled relationship
with the decaying world outside ourselves. Waste
focuses on those waste objects that most fundamentally shape our
lives and also attempts to understand our complicated emotional and
intellectual relationships to our own refuse: nuclear waste, climate
debris, pop-culture rubbish, digital detritus, and more.

Bookshelf
Cigarette Lighter
Lydia Pyne, University of Texas of Austin, USA
Jack Pendarvis, Freelance Writer, USA
Every shelf is different and every bookshelf tells
a different story. Lydia Pyne finds bookshelves
to be holders not just of books but of so many
other things: values, vibes, and verbs that can be
contained and displayed in the buildings and rooms
of contemporary human existence. With a shrewd
eye toward this particular moment in the history
of books, Pyne takes the reader on a tour of the bookshelf that leads
critically to this juncture: amid rumors of the death of book culture,
why is the life of the bookshelf in full bloom?
UK March 2016 • US January 2016 • 144 pages • 7 b/w illustrations
PB 9781501307324 • £9.99 / $16.95
Smokers, survivalists, teenagers, collectors… The
cigarette lighter is a charged, complex, yet often
entirely disposable object that moves across these
various groups of people, acquiring and emitting
different meanings while always supplying its
primary function, that of ignition. Jack Pendarvis
explodes the lighter as something with deep
history, as something with quirky episodes in cultural contexts, and
as something that dances with wide ranging taboos and traditions.
Pendarvis shows how the lighter tarries with the cheapest ends of
consumer culture as much as it displays more profound dramas of
human survival, technological advances, and aesthetics.

Dust
Michael Marder, University of the Basque
Country, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
Dust pervades everything. It gathers in even layers,
adapting to the contours of things and marking
the passage of time. In itself, it is also a gathering
place, a random community of what has been and
what is yet to be: dead skin cells and plant pollen,
hair and paper fibers, and dust mites. Dust blurs
the boundaries between the living and the dead, plant and animal
matter, the inside and the outside, you and the world. Dust treats
one of the most mundane and familiar phenomena, showing how
it can provide a key to thinking about existence, community, and
justice today.

Hood
Alison Kinney, Freelance Writer, New York, USA
We all wear hoods: the Grim Reaper, Red Riding
Hood, torturers, executioners and the executed,
athletes, laborers, anarchists, rappers, babies in
onesies, and anyone who’s ever grabbed a hoodie
on a chilly day. Alison Kinney’s Hood explores the
material and symbolic vibrancy of this everyday

Shipping Container
Craig Martin, The University of Edinburgh, UK
The shipping container is all around: whizzing by
on the highway, trundling past on rails, unloading
behind a big box store even as you shop there,
clanking on the docks just out of sight. 90% of the
goods and materials that move around the globe
do so in shipping containers. It is an absolutely
ubiquitous object, even if most of us have no
direct contact with it. But what is this thing? Where has it been, and
where is it going? Craig Martin’s book illuminates the “development
of containerization”—including design history, standardization,
aesthetics, and a surprising speculative discussion of the futurity of
shipping containers.

Questionnaire
Evan Kindley, Claremont McKenna College, USA
Questionnaires are everywhere: we fill them out in
doctor’s offices and at job interviews, to express
ourselves and to advance knowledge, to find love
and to kill time. But where did they come from,
and why have they proliferated? In Questionnaire,
Evan Kindley investigates the history of “the form
as form,” from the Victorian confession album to
the BuzzFeed quiz. In the process, he uncovers surprising connections
between disparate fields (literature and science, psychology and
business, and journalism and surveillance), and asks questions about
the questions we ask ourselves.

Hair
Scott Cutler Shershow, University of California,

Scott Lowe, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire,
USA
Bread is an object that, throughout the myriad
details of its manufacture and social existence,
is always in process of becoming something else:
flower to grain, grain to dough, dough to loaf, loaf
to crumb. Bread is also often a figure or vehicle
of social cohesion: from the homely image of
“breaking bread together” to the mysteries of the Eucharist. But
bread also commonly figures in social conflict — sometimes literally,
in the “bread riots” that punctuate European history, and sometimes
figuratively, in the ways bread operates as ethnic, religious or class
signifier. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from the scriptures to
modern pop culture, Bread tells the story this ancient and everyday
object.

Password
Martin Paul Eve, Birkbeck College, University of

Passwords are crucial to our lives. They regulate

who we are to others. They are powerful words. But
from where did this equation of verbal knowledge
with a person's identity emerge? What does it really
mean, in the world of passwords, to say that one's
“identity has been stolen”? What does the future of the password
hold in store? In Password Martin Paul Eve traces the cultural histories
of the password from ancient Rome and the “watchwords” of military
encampments, through cultural representations (from Ali Baba to
Harry Potter) and up to contemporary implementations in the digital
world.

Hair, a primary marker of our mammalian nature,
is a remarkably powerful indicator of economic
status, social standing, political orientation,
religious affiliation, marital state, and cultural
leanings, among other things. Scott Lowe offers
a pithy yet wide-ranging overview of global hair
customs. The rules of hair—head and body, visible and covered—are
deep, powerful, and so profoundly embedded in cultural conditioning
that they are usually held unconsciously (and more strongly for
that). From Hittites to hippies, from Pentecostals to porn stars, hair
is a ubiquitous personal and vibrant object, a charged and carefully
managed dead thing.

Tree explores the forms, uses, and alliances of this

us and yet fade into background. Their lifespan
outstrips ours, and yet their wisdom remains
inscrutable, treasured up in the heartwood. They
serve us in many ways—as keel, lodgepole, and
execution site—and yet to become human, we had to come down
from their limbs. In this book Matthew Battles follows the tree's
branches across art, poetry, and landscape, marking the edges of
imagination with wildness and shadow.

Dead Theory
Literature and Moral Theory
Derrida, Death and the Afterlife of
Theory
Nora Hämäläinen, University of Helsinki, Finland
What is the legacy of Theory after the deaths of
so many of its leading lights, from Jacques Derrida
to Roland Barthes? Bringing together reflections by
leading contemporary scholars, Dead Theory explores the afterlives
of the work of the great theorists and the current state of Theory
today. Considering the work of thinkers such as Derrida, Deleuze, and
Levinas, the book explores the ways in which Theory has long been
haunted by death and how it might endure for the future.
"Some of the most fundamental challenges
to analytic ethics have come from moral
philosophers who believe literature holds forth
the promise of transforming received views of
what moral thought is like, and of the kinds of
difficulties it presents. Hämäläinen’s Literature
and Moral Theory offers an insightful and
encompassing tour of this ‘turn to literature,’ describing with
particular grace and thoughtfulness the writings of Iris Murdoch
and Martha Nussbaum, two of this movement’s most significant
figures." Alice Crary, Associate Professor and Chair of Philosophy,

Narratives of Nothing in 20thCentury Literature
Women's Experimental Writing
Meghan Vicks, University of Colorado at Boulder,
USA
Ellen E. Berry, Bowling Green State University,
USA
The concept of nothing has been an enduring
concern of 20th-century literature, philosophy,
art, music, physics, and mathematics. As Martin
Heidegger proposed that nothing is essential to
the creation of a knowable being, as Jacques Derrida demonstrated
how all structures are built upon a nothing within the structure, and
as mathematicians argued that zero – the number that is also not a
number – allows for the creation of our modern mathematical system,
Narratives of Nothing in 20th-Century Literature suggests that
nothing itself enables the narrative act, thereby allowing meaning to
come into existence.

Art as the Absolute
Art's Relation to Metaphysics in
Kant, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, and

Art as the Absolute is a literary and philosophical
investigation into the meaning of art and its claims
to truth. Exploring in particular the writings of Kant and those who
followed after, including Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, Schopenhauer,
and Nietzsche, Paul Gordon contends that art solves the problem of
how one can “know” the absolute in non-conceptual, non-discursive
terms.
Art as the Absolute will be of interest to students and scholars
interested in exploring aesthetics from both a literary and a

Negative Aesthetics and Feminist Critique
Women's Experimental Writing considers six
contemporary authors who use experimental
methods and negative modes of critique in
their fiction and feminism. The authors covered
are Valerie Solanas, Kathy Acker, Theresa Cha, Chantel Chawaf,
Jeanette Winterson, and Lynda Barry. Berry argues that the radical
aesthetic practices they employ are central to the emergence of
contemporary Western feminisms. The volume rectifies a critical
neglect of contemporary experimental writing by women, especially
in politicized forms, within the still-emerging postmodern canon.

What is Art?
Leo Tolstoy
Leo Tolstoy is one of the most celebrated novelists
of all time. As well as writing literary classics such
as Anna Karenina and War and Peace he was also
the author of some hugely influential critical and
philosophical works. First published in 1898 his book
length essay What is Art? has lost none of its power
to challenge our perception of art and its function
in society today. In this provocative work Tolstoy famously dismisses
works by Shakespeare, Dante, Wagner and even many of his own
works as 'bad art' based on various criteria including sincerity, ethics,
morality and accessibility.

Aesthetic Sexuality
A Literary History of Sadomasochism
Romana Byrne, Independent Scholar, France
The Aesthetics of Care
On the Literary Treatment of Animals
Josephine Donovan, University of Maine, USA
In this important new book from a pioneering
scholar, Josephine Donovan develops a new
aesthetics of care, which she establishes as the
basis for a critical approach to the representation of
animals in literature. The Aesthetics of Care begins
with a guide to the relationship between ethics and aesthetics,
leading to a reconceptualization of key literary critical terms such
as mimesis and catharsis, before moving on to a practical section,
with interpretations of the specific treatment of animals handled by
a wide range of authors, including Willa Cather, Leo Tolstoy, George
Sand, and J.M. Coetzee. The book closes with three concluding
theoretical chapters.
"Aesthetic Sexuality reads against the grain of
standard readings of the scientia sexualis versus
ars erotica distinction Foucault made famous in
his History of Sexuality. From Sade to Nietzsche
to contemporary fetish fashion, Byrne brilliantly
uses the aesthetics of sadomasochism to reconceptualize sexuality
itself. A tour de force!" Lynne Huffer, Professor of Women's, Gender,

In this book Carole Sweeney examines the novels

human life. This historicizing study argues that le
monde houellebecquien is an ‘atomised society’ of banal quotidian
alienation populated by quietly resentful men who are the botched
subjects of late-capitalism. Addressing Houellebecq’s handling of
the ‘failure’ of the radical thought of ‘68, Sweeney looks at the
ways in which his fiction treats feminism, the decline of religion and
the family, as well as the obsolescence of French ‘theory’ and the
Sartrean notion of ‘engaged’ literature.

Charles I. Armstrong, University of Agder,
Norway
"An intellectually nuanced, theoretically
contextualized study of Yeats’s multifaceted
engagements with literary genres and previous
authors." Review of English Studies
Reframing Yeats focusses on genre and allusion to engage with a
broad range of W. B. Yeats’s writings, examining instances of his
poetry, autobiographical writings, criticism, and drama. Identifying
a schism in recent Yeatsian criticism between biographical and
formalist methodologies, Armstrong’s study combines an historicist
perspective with close attention to literary form.

Virginia Woolf became increasingly concerned with
overt social and political commentary in her later

Understanding Foucault,
Understanding Modernism
Edited by David Scott, Coppin State University,

The outstanding feature of this volume lies in its
intent to investigate William James’s influence
on both American and International Modernism.
It provides, on the one hand, a multifaceted
introduction to students of history, philosophy, and culture, and on the
other, a compendium of some of the most up-to-date thinking on this
central figure. The contributors explore James’s most essential texts as
well as his influence on contemporary writers, artists, and thinkers.
This volume shows, on the one hand, that literature
and the arts play a fundamental structural role
in Foucault’s works, while, on the other hand, it
shifts to the foreground what it presumes to be
motivating Foucault: the interrogation of the problem of modernism.
It presents as many paths as possible for establishing links between
Foucault’s thought to aesthetic problems related to those specific
works, methods, and styles designated 'modernist.'

Aimee Armande Wilson, Indiana University of

Although often hailed as a ‘quintessentially
American’ writer, the modernist poet, novelist
and playwright Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) spent most of her life
in France. With chapters written by leading international scholars,
Gertrude Stein in Europe is the first sustained exploration of the
European artistic and intellectual networks in which Stein’s work was
first developed and circulated. Exploring the European contexts of
and influences on Stein's writing, this book opens up new perspectives
on Stein as a writer and on the centrality of artistic and intellectual
networks to European modernism.
“Conceived in Modernism intervenes forcefully
in debates about modernist sexualities and
the history of birth control and reproduction.
Aimee Armande Wilson’s politically informed and theoretically
sophisticated readings of a range of canonical and lesser-known
literary authors and birth control activists are illuminating and
inspiring. Interdisciplinary in scope, the book makes an important
and timely contribution to the intersecting inquiries of modernist
studies, the history of sexuality, feminist criticism and sexuality
studies.” Jana Funke, Advanced Research Fellow in Medical

Sarah Lonsdale traces the ways in which journalists

in various distinct periods of the 20th century and attempts to
explain why these representations vary so widely. This is a history
of the British press, told not by historians and sociologists, but by
writers and directors as well as journalists themselves. Within these
texts and films there is perhaps a clue as to how the best aspects of
‘Fourth estate’ journalism can survive in the digital age.

The Enchantment of Place

Mary Butts was an important figure in inter-war

associated with some of the major literary figures of

her importance and the varied nature of her writing, she has been a

polemic and fiction through the lens of mid-20th-century British

Excursions with Thoreau
Philosophy, Poetry, Religion
Edward F. Mooney, Syracuse University, USA
“Edward Mooney proves himself a worthy heir
to Thoreau’s legacy by speaking to his readers
as an extracurricular intellectual and spiritual
companion … Excursions with Thoreau is a
powerful illustration of how philosophy can live
up to its name as the love of wisdom, grounded in wonder and
defined by transformative encounters.” Rick Anthony Furtak,
Colorado College, USA
A literary and philosophical exploration of Thoreau as a prosepoet and religious adept who carries us into fresh and unexpected
communion with landscape, seascape, open sky, and what he calls
“the unfathomable.”

"By placing Richard Wright in the context of twenty-first century

Subject of the Event
Reagency in the American Novel after
2000
Sebastian Huber, Ludwig-Maximilians-University,
Munich, Germany
As the first book to comprehensively engage with
Alain Badiou’s writings outside of a philosophical
context, Subject of the Event analyzes five critically
acclaimed novels of the new millennium—Cormac McCarthy’s The
Road (2006), Jess Walter’s The Zero (2006), Mark Z. Danielewski’s Only
Revolutions (2006), Paul Beatty’s Slumberland (2008) and Thomas
Pynchon’s Against the Day (2006)—and argues that they create
different ‘subjects of the event’ that are empowered with ‘reagency’.
The ‘subject of the event’ and its empowerment, what this book calls
‘reagency,’ implies that subjects only evolve out of their confrontation
with the revolutionary impetus that events propel.

Not Born Digital
Poetics, Print Literacy, New Media
Daniel Morris, Purdue University, USA
Not Born Digital addresses from multiple perspectives – ethical,
historical, psychological, conceptual, aesthetic – the vexing problems
and sublime potential of disseminating lyrics, the ancient form of
transmission and preservation of the human voice, in an environment
in which e-poetry and digitalized poetics pose a crisis (understood
as opportunity and threat) to traditional page poetry. While other
studies have begun to analyze poetry that appears in New Media
contexts, Not Born Digital concerns the ambivalent ways page poets
(rather than electronica based poets) have grappled with “screen
memory” (that is, electronic and new media sources) through the
repurposing of “found” materials.

Toni Morrison and Literary Tradition provides a

from her early interrogation of Black Power to her engagement with
fin de siècle postcolonial critiques of nationalism and twenty-first

Of the more than twenty-five biographies of
Kerouac, few have seriously examined his
relationship to the French language and the
reason for his bilingualism, the Québec Diaspora.
Although this background has long been recognized in Frenchlanguage treatments, it is a new dimension in Anglophone studies of
his writing. Hassan Melehy explores how Kerouac’s poetics of exile
involves meditations on moving between territories and languages.
He shows that, far from being a naïve pursuit, Kerouac’s writing
practice not only responded but contributed to some of the major
aesthetic and philosophical currents of the twentieth century in
which notions such as otherness and nomadism took shape.

marriages) and accepted and promoted all
relationships formed through spontaneous affinities and love

Translation and the Making of
Modern Russian Literature
Edited by Michaela Wolf, University of Graz,

Brian James Baer, Kent State University, USA
While in the last few decades there has been
extensive research on the language used by
concentration camp inmates, investigation into the
mediating role of interpreters between SS guards
and prisoners on the one hand, and among inmates on the other, has
been almost nonexistent. This book examines the role of interpreting
in the wider context of shaping life in concentration camps while
also looking at how knowledge of languages, and accordingly, certain
communication skills, contributed to the survival of concentration
camp inmates and of the interpreting person.

that their literature, and by extension, their cultural identity, was
“born in translation” produced a sustained critique of Romantic
authorship and national identity that would become a defining theme
of modern Russian literature.

In this book, Jeanne-Marie Jackson demonstrates how Russian

served as a model for South African writers both during and after
apartheid. Exploring these two isolated literary cultures alongside
each other, the book challenges the limits of ‘global’ methodologies

Salman Rushdie's writing is engaged with translation

stories in his novels, while acts of translation are

Translation explores the role of translation in Rushdie's work. Jenni

Ecology: Sustainable Texts outlines a new approach

Dickinson, Herman Melville, Toni Morrison, William Faulkner and
Edgar Allen Poe, Literature as Cultural Ecology is an essential

ecology and surveying a wide range of cities in North America, Europe

deconstruction's silence on the subject of ecological catastrophe. Offering radical new readings of texts by such writers
as Raymond Carver, Kim Stanley Robinson and Henry James in light of these concerns, Ecocriticism on the Edge is a major

Contemporary writers such as Peter Ackroyd,

This volume brings together their vivid
representations of the capital. Uniting the
readings are themes such as relationship
between the country and the city; the
capacity of satirical forms to encompass
the 'real London'; spatio-temporal
transformations and emergences; the
relationship between multiculturalism and
universalism; the underground as the spatial
equivalent of London's unconsciousness and
the suburbs as the frontier of the future.

InspIrIng EducatIon through InnovatIon
G.K. Chesterton,
London and
Modernity
Edited by Matthew
Beaumont & Matthew
Ingleby
G. K. Chesterton,
London and Modernity
is the first book to explore the persistent
theme of the city in Chesterton's writing.
Situating him in relation to both Victorian
and Modernist literary paradigms, the
book explores a range of theoretical and
methodological approaches to address the
way his imaginative investments and political
interventions conceive urban modernity
and the central figure of London. While
Chesterton's work has often been valued for
its wit and whimsy, this book argues that
he is also a distinctive urban commentator,
whose sophistication has been under
appreciated in comparison to more canonical
contemporaries.

Shakespare and Montaigne are the English and

have the most to say to modern readers. This
book examines the ways in which Montaigne and
Shakespeare used their reading of classical texts
and other early sources and argued with them to create something
new. It is the most sustained account available of the similarities and

Literary Trials
Exceptio Artis and Theories of Literature
in Court
Edited by Ralf Grüttemeier, Oldenburg
University, Germany
From the 19th century onwards, famous literary
trials have caught the attention of readers,
academics and the public at large. Literary Trials
represents the first step towards a systematic discussion of literary
trials on a global scale. Beginning by first reassessing some of the
most famous of these trials, such as those about Flaubert’s Madame
Bovary, Joyce’s Ulysses and Miller’s Tropic of Cancer, among others,
it also analyses less well-known but significant literary trials. Special
attention is paid to recent developments in the relationship between
literature and judicature, pointing towards an increasing role for libel
and defamation in the societal demarcation of what literature is, and
is not, allowed to do.
Gothic Fiction and the Invention
of Terrorism
The Politics and Aesthetics of Fear in the
Age of the Reign of Terror
Joseph Crawford, University of Exeter, UK
Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2014
This book examines the connections between
the growth of 'terror fiction' - now known as 'Gothic' - in the late
eighteenth century, alongside the emerging concept of 'terrorism' as a
category of political action. In the 1790s, four interconnected bodies
of writing arose in Britain: the historical mythology of the French
Revolution, the political rhetoric of 'terrorism', the genre of political
conspiracy theory, and the literary genre of Gothic fiction. All four
bodies of writing drew heavily upon one another to articulate a sense
of the radical and monstrous otherness of human evil.

The Reception of Edmund Burke in Europe
Edited by Peter Jones, University of Edinburgh, UK & Martin
Fitzpatrick, Independent Scholar, UK
Over the last fifty years the life and work of Edmund Burke (17291797) has received sustained scholarly attention and debate.
Attention has focused in particular on locating his ideas in the history
of eighteenth-century theory and practice and the contexts of late
eighteenth-century conservative thought. This book broadens the
focus to examine the many sided interest in Burke's ideas in Europe,
most notably in politics and aesthetics. It draws on the work of
leading international scholars to present new perspectives on the
significance of Burke's ideas in European politics and culture.

Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) has often been
considered a particularly British writer in part as his
official post as Poet Laureate inevitably committed
him to a certain amount of patriotic writing. This
volume focuses on his impact on the continent, presenting a major
scholarly analysis of Tennyson's wider reception in different areas of
Europe. It considers reader and critical responses and explores the

Although scholars have widely acknowledged the prevalence of

Elizabeth Anderson shows how the poet's work is informed by a range
of religious traditions, from the complexities and contradictions
of Moravian Christianity to a wide range of esoteric beliefs and

Readers of Emily Brontë's poetry and of Wuthering Heights have seen
in their author, variously, a devout if unorthodox Christian, a heretic,
or a visionary "mystic of the moors". Emily Brontë and the Religious
Imagination suggests that such conflicting readings are the product of

This revised edition of Othello has a new
introduction by Ayanna Thompson, addressing such
key issues as race, religion and gender, as well as
ways in which the play has been adapted in more recent times. The
new introduction attends to the play’s different meanings throughout
history, while articulating the historical context in which Othello
was created, paying particular attention to Shakespeare’s source
materials and the evidence about early modern constructions of
racial and religious difference.

Much Ado About Nothing:
Revised Edition
William Shakespeare
Edited by Claire McEachern, UCLA, USA
Much Ado About Nothing presents a battle of the
sexes in more ways than one: as both a lightningfast skirmish of wits between two famously
disputatious lovers, and a near-deadly conflict built
on conventions of gender and male rivalry. Claire McEachern's new
introduction brings this best-seller right up-to-date, analysing recent
developments in criticism and the latest productions of this comedy,
including film versions by Kenneth Branagh and Joss Whedon.

Troilus and Cressida:
Revised Edition
William Shakespeare
Edited by David Bevington, University of
Chicago, USA
A revised edition of this intriguing and complex
play, updated to cover recent critical thinking and
stage history. Troilus and Cressida is a tragedy often
labelled a "problem" play because of its apparent blend of genres and
its difficult themes. Set in the Trojan Wars it tells a story of doomed
love and honour, offering a debased view of human nature in wartime and a stage peopled by generally unsympathetic characters. The
revised edition makes an ideal text for study at undergraduate level
and above.

King Henry IV Part 2
William Shakespeare
Edited by James C. Bulman, Allegheny College,
USA
This complex history play is more troubled and
troubling than King Henry IV Part 1, as it continues
the story of King Henry’s decline and Hal’s reform.
Though Part 2 echoes the structure of the earlier
play, it is a darker and more unsettling world, in which even Falstaff’s
revelry is more tired and cynical, and the once-merry Hal sloughs off
his tavern companions to become King Henry V. Expertly edited with
on-page notes and a lengthy critical introduction, this is an invaluable
and authoritative edition.

Revised Edition
Oscar Wilde
Edited by Francesca Coppa, University of
Muhlenberg, USA
This student edition features a new introduction,
in which Francesca Coppa explores recent critical
approaches to the play, including queer and
postcolonial readings, as well as giving the context in which the
play was written and how it relates to Wilde's personal life and
public persona. The introduction also discusses the play's stage
history, providing students with an ideal overview of the play and its
resonances for contemporary audiences.

In the four hundred years since Shakespeare's
death, the Sonnets have invited imitation,
homage, critique, parody and pastiche.
These new poems probe our relationship to
the Sonnets' intricate form and ambitious
scope, their investigation of sexuality, wit,
memory and poetic survival. These sonnets
and longer lyrics explore what it means to
write 'on Shakespeare's Sonnets' in the 21st
century.

Edited by Dympna
Callaghan, Syracuse
University, USA & Suzanne Gossett, Loyola
University, Chicago, USA
Marking the 400th anniversary of
Shakespeare's death this volume offers a
unique collection of leading Shakespeare
scholars outlining key developments in
Shakespeare studies over the last two
decades. Their essays are complemented
by responses from younger scholars looking
forward to new fields of study and debate.
A "state of the nation" look at Shakespeare
criticism, covering all the key areas of
research and study including gender,
text, performance, the body, history,
religion and biography, this is a must-read,
comprehensive introduction to the critical
ideas surrounding Shakespeare's work and a
stimulating exploration of where we might
go next.
The contributors to this
volume propose that
Shakespeare was not the
poet of nature, but rather
that he was a master of rewriting and recreation. Each chapter in this volume begins
with a key word or phrase from Shakespeare
and builds toward a broader consideration
of the social, poetic, and theatrical
dimensions of his language. The chapters
capture the richness of Shakespeare’s world
of words by including discussions of biblical
language, Latinity, philosophy of language
and subjectivity, languages of commerce,
criminality, history, and education, the
gestural vocabulary of performance, as well
as accounts of verbal modality and metrics.

Shakespeare and Theory
Series Editor: Evelyn Gajowski, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA
This series provides a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical developments that have dominated Shakespeare studies since the advent of
postmodernism, as well as those that are emerging at the present moment.
“The series promises to be wonderfully useful not only as a glimpse back at what has already been done but also as an inspiration for
new work.” Stephen Greenblatt, Harvard University, USA
Shakespeare
and Ecocritical
Theory
Gabriel Egan,
Loughborough University,
UK
Combining the latest
scientific and philosophical
understanding of humankind's place in the
world with interpretative methods derived
from other politically inflected literary
criticism, ecocriticism is providing new
insights into literary works both ancient
and modern. With case-study analyses of
the tragedies, comedies, histories and the
late romances, this book is a wide-ranging
introduction to reading Shakespeare in light
of contemporary ecocritical theory.

Shakespeare and
Economic Theory
David Hawkes, Arizona
State University, USA
This book shows how
concepts and concerns
that were until recently
considered purely economic
affected the entire range of sixteenth and
seventeenth century life. Shakespeare and
Economic Theory traces economic literary
criticism to its cultural and historical
roots, and discusses its main practitioners.
Providing new readings of plays including
Timon of Athens, King Lear, The Winter’s
Tale, and The Tempest, David Hawkes shows
how it can reveal previously unappreciated
qualities of Shakespeare’s work.

Shakespeare's Insults
Shakespeare and Visual Culture
A Pragmatic Dictionary
Armelle Sabatier, Paris II University, France
Nathalie Vienne-Guerrin, University of
Montpellier III Paul Valery, France
Why are certain words used as insults in
Shakespeare’s world and what do these words do
and say? Shakespeare’s plays abound with insults
which are more often merely cited than thoroughly
studied, quotation prevailing over exploration. The purpose of this
richly detailed dictionary is to go beyond the surface of these words
and to analyse why and how words become insults in Shakespeare’s
world. It's an invaluable resource and reference guide for anyone
grappling with the complexities and rewards of Shakespeare's
inventive use of language in the realm of insult and verbal sparring.

Shakespeare's Books
A Dictionary of Shakespeare Sources
Stuart Gillespie, University of Glasgow, UK
Shakespeare’s Books contains nearly 200 entries
covering the full range of literature Shakespeare
was acquainted with, including classical, historical,
religious and contemporary works. Covering works
whose importance to Shakespeare has emerged
more clearly in recent years due to new research, it also explains
current thinking on long-recognized sources such as Ovid, Holinshed,
Ariosto and Montaigne. Entries for all major sources include surveys
of the writer's place in Shakespeare's time, detailed discussion of
their relation to his work, and full bibliography. These are enhanced
by sample passages from early modern England writers, together with
reproductions of pages from the original texts.

Statues coming to life and lively portraits ready
to breathe in Shakespeare? This new volume reassesses the key role played by visual culture in
his drama and poetry by providing readers with
an up-to-date guide to the main publications on
the subject as well as offering a synthesis on the
main literary and historical sources for inspiration.
While scrutinising the complex issue of image on an Elizabethan stage
and exploring the codification of colours in Shakespeare’s poetry,
this dictionary highlights the fierce rivalry between the poet, the
dramatist and the visual artist.

Series Editors: Ewan Fernie, The Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham, UK and Simon Palfrey, University of Oxford, UK
Shakespeare Now! is a series of short books that engage imaginatively and often provocatively with the possibilities of Shakespeare's plays. It
goes back to the source — the most living language imaginable — and recaptures the excitement, audacity and surprise of Shakespeare. It will
return you to the plays with opened eyes.
Tragic Cognition in Shakespeare's
Othello
Othello's Secret
Beyond the Neural Sublime
R M Christofides
Paul Cefalu, Lafayette College, Easton,
Pennsylvania, USA
How can recent theories of cognition inform our
understanding of Shakespeare’s characters?
Tragic Cognition in Shakespeare’s Othello looks at how such theories
can enhance our perception of Iago and Othello, as well as enriching
the play’s complex accounts of empathy, intentionality, and tragedy.
Paul Cefalu argues that Shakespearean characters raise timely
questions about the relationship between cognition and consciousness
and often defy our assumptions about “normal” cognition. The book
will appeal to scholars and students interested in both the virtues and
limitations of cognitive literary criticism.

The Cyprus Problem
Othello's Secret uncovers the relationship between
the play and the conflicts that have torn apart its
Cypriot setting, providing a new and powerfully
political reading. Exploring the domestic and
military anxieties connected by Shakespeare,
Christofides highlights the ways in which these issues resonate with
current ideological and geographical divisions in Cyprus, divisions
rooted in the 16th century struggles to control the island. Challenging
the conventional view of Othello as a Venetian play, this book offers
a fierce and personal example of how early modern literature can
purposefully contribute to even the most complex geopolitical
debates.

Shakespeare and the Stuff of Life

Edited by Gordon McMullan, King's College
London, UK & Philip Mead, University of Western
Australia, Australia
Edited by Delia Garratt, Director of Cultural
Engagement, Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust &
Tara Hamling, University of Birmingham, UK
Scholars from Britain, Australia and New Zealand
reflect on the modes of commemoration of
Shakespeare in and after the Tercentenary year, 1916, in two
hemispheres, arguing that it was at this moment of remembering
that ‘global Shakespeare’ first emerged in recognisable, if embryonic,
form. A great deal has been forgotten about this key moment in the
history of the place of Shakespeare in national and global culture.
In addressing this, the book offers new materials and discoveries
about, and new interpretations of, those Tercentenary celebrations,
reflecting also on the long legacy of those celebrations.
This unique book brings together, for the first time,
a selection of 50 objects from the Shakespeare
Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon. Accessible and lavishly
illustrated, the volume provides an object-based exploration of
the role and significance of notable paintings, furniture, ceramics,
textiles and metal wares in the everyday experience of people living
in Shakespearean England. Published to mark the 400th anniversary
of Shakespeare's death in 2016, it brings Shakespeare's times to life
for readers of all ages.

1616: Shakespeare and Tang
Xianzu's China
Edited by Tian Yuan Tan, SOAS, University of
London, UK, Paul Edmondson, The Shakespeare
Birthplace Trust, UK & Shih-pe Wang, National
Taiwan University, Taiwan
The year is 1616. William Shakespeare has died,
and the world of the London theatres is mourning
his loss. But 1616 is also to see the death of the famous Chinese
playwright Tang Xianzu. Four hundred years on, and Shakespeare is
now an important meeting place for Anglo-Chinese cultural dialogue
in the field of drama and literary studies. SOAS, The Shakespeare
Birthplace Trust and National Chung Cheng University of Taiwan
have gathered together 11 Shakespearians and 11 Chinese literature
experts to reflect on the theatrical climate in England and China in
this significant year.
This book's underlying claim is that English
Renaissance tragedy addresses live issues in the
experience of readers and spectators today: it
is not a genre to be studied only for aesthetic or
“heritage” reasons. It considers the way in which tragedy in general,
and English Renaissance tragedy in particular, addresses ideas
of liberty and tyranny, understood both from an individual and a
sociopolitical perspective.

Shakespeare's Acts of Will
Shakespeare and YouTube
Law, Testament and Properties of
Performance
New Media Forms of the Bard
Gary Watt, University of Warwick, UK
Drawing on years of experience delivering rhetoric
workshops for the Royal Shakespeare Company
and as a prize-winning teacher of law, Gary Watt
demonstrates how Shakespeare transformed
lawyers’ manual book rhetoric into powerful drama through a stirring
combination of word, metre, movement and physical stage material,
producing a mode of performance that was truly testamentary in its
power to engage the witnessing public.
Published in the 400th anniversary year of Shakespeare’s last
will and testament, this is a major contribution to the growing
interdisciplinary field of law and humanities.

This book identifies the genres of YouTube
Shakespeare, interpreting them through theories
of remediation and media convergence and as
indices of Shakespeare’s shifting cultural meanings.
Exploring the intersection of YouTube’s participatory culture – its
invitation to ‘Broadcast Yourself’ – with its corporate logic, the book
argues that YouTube Shakespeare is a site of productive tension
between new forms of self-expression and the homogenizing effects
of mass culture. Shakespeare and YouTube will be of interest
to students and scholars of Shakespearean drama, poetry and
adaptations, as well as to new media studies.

This is the first full-length study of the role of
graphic and iconographic images in Shakespeare
referencing performance history throughout.
Chapters examine plays in which pictures are
brought on stage as part of the dramatic action
(Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, The Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth
Night, among others); the embedding of images from the popular
imagination in the action and discourse of the plays; the dialectic
between optical and auditory illusion in the romance or late plays,
or "how" the visual is "heard" in the theatre, and the question of
perspective in the comedies, especially in Twelfth Night.

The Politics of Performing
Shakespeare for Young People
Standing up to Shakespeare
Jan Wozniak, University of Leeds, UK
This book examines performance projects of
Shakespeare’s plays for young people in terms
of their value for their young audiences. Using
interviews with theatre workers and workshops with
young people, the book argues that it is by trusting young people’s
experience of performances, rather than promoting a range of predetermined textual understandings of the plays, that they might gain
most benefit. It argues that by privileging the meanings young people
make of Shakespeare, new and exciting interpretations of his work
might be found.

We justly celebrate Shakespeare as a creator of
plays and poems, characters and ideas, words
and worlds. But so too, in the four centuries since
his death in 1616, have thinkers, writers, artists,
and performers recreated him. Readers are invited to explore
Shakespeare’s afterlife on stage and screen, in poetry, fiction, music,
dance, and in cultural life and literary criticism. A series of essays
combine with personal reflections from prominent contemporary
practitioners of the arts. Both celebration and reflection, this unique
book explores Shakespeare as a global cultural figure who continues
to inspire artists, audiences and readers around the world.

The Hand on the Shakespearean
Stage
Gesture, Touch and the Spectacle of
Dismemberment
Farah Karim-Cooper, Shakespeare's Globe,
London, UK
This ground-breaking book uncovers the way
Shakespeare draws upon the available literature and visual
representations of the hand in his time to inform his work. An
analysis of gesture, touch, skill and dismemberment in a range
of Shakespeare's works, shows how the hand was perceived in
Shakespeare’s time as an indicator of human agency, emotion,
social and personal identity. This book is about how the hand and its
activities are described and embedded in Shakespeare's texts and
about its role on the Shakespearean stage: as part of the actor’s
body, in the language as metaphor and as a morbid stage-prop.

Edited by Russell Jackson, University of

In their own distinctive manner, each of the
four actors discussed in this volume have had a
profound and innovative influence on the methods
of Shakespearean performance, and thus on the
appreciation and interpretation of his plays. Their careers encompass
almost a century of theatrical experience, from John Gielgud’s
childhood before the First World War to Judi Dench’s performances
in the first decades of the new millennium. The volume affords
invaluable insights into changing approaches to the actor’s craft,
the aims and methods of the theatre, the institutions presenting
productions and, above all, to Shakespeare’s plays themselves.

All four figures in this volume have been canonized
as central to ‘stage-centred’ Shakespearean
scholarship and stage practice. From William Poel’s
reproductions of early modern stages in the late nineteenth century
to Sam Wanamaker’s reconstruction of the Globe on London’s South
Bank, they all viewed Shakespeare’s plays as being enmeshed in the
social and historical dynamics of theatremaking and theatregoing.
The volume considers how their attempts to recapture early modern
performance conditions can be considered progressive.
