The Lost Princess: Women Writers and the History of Classic Fairy Tales
  Anne E. Duggan/ 9781789147698/ Price:GBP 16.00
 
Book Cover People often associate fairy tales with Disney films, and with the male authors from whom Disney often drew inspiration – notably Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. In these portrayals the princess is a passive, compliant figure. By contrast, The Lost Princess shows that classic fairy tales such as ‘Cinderella’, ‘Rapunzel’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’ have a much richer, more complex history than Disney’s saccharine depictions. Anne E. Duggan recovers the voices of women writers such as Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy, Marie-Jeanne L’Heritier and Charlotte-Rose de La Force, who penned popular tales about ogre-killing, pregnant, cross-dressing, dynamic heroines who saved the day. This new history will appeal to anyone who wants to know more about the lost, plucky heroines of historic fairy tales.
   
At The Center Of The Circle: Harriet de Boinville (1773–1847) and the Writers She Influenced During Europe's Revolutionary Era
  Barbara de Boinville/ 9788985221498/ Price:US$ 26.00
 
This first-ever biography of Harriet de Boinville explores her close relationships with Mary Shelley, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and other leading writers of the Romantic era, but also tells the gripping story of Harriet’s early years as the wife of an aristocratic military officer during the French-English Wars, when she experienced a naval attack in the Caribbean, a shipwreck off the coast of France, and detention as a suspected spy in Dunkirk. Combining literary history and gender study with the engaging story of a courageous and caring woman, this ground-breaking book has generated extraordinary praise from renowned authors and experts.

SA01-507 Esther Tellermann: Enigme, priere, identite
  Aaron Prevots/ 9789004473355/ Price:EUR 99.00
 
Book Cover Dans Esther Tellermann: Enigme, priere, identite, premiere monographie consacree a l’?uvre de l’ecrivain, Aaron Prevots met en lumiere un regard poetique novateur sur des realites tant interieures qu’exterieures. Il montre comment Tellermann (1947-) explore l’intime du monde, ses textures et ses contours, ses terres insituables semblant s’entrecroiser, et le reve et le mythe faits tremplin pour une traversee renouvelee de l’Histoire et du deuil. Il apprehende le caractere enigmatique de longues suites de chants dont la forme peut s’apparenter a celle de la priere, ainsi que les enjeux identitaires d’un dire singulierement ouvert a l’Autre. En examinant des textes de 1999-2019, Aaron Prevots souligne le lyrisme decentre d’un poete majeur et la presence de ses pairs comme interlocuteurs. In Esther Tellermann: Enigma, Prayer, Identity, the first book-length study of the writer’s ?uvre, Aaron Prevots highlights her innovative poetic approach to inner and outer realities. He shows how Tellermann (1947-) explores the world’s innermost structures, its textures and contours, its indeterminate places that seemingly intersect, and dreams and myth as springboards for experiencing anew historical turning points and timeless rites of mourning. He considers the enigmatic quality of long suites of poetic song whose form can resemble that of prayer, as well as the stakes regarding identity when poetic expression foregrounds openness to the Other. In examining texts from 1999-2019, Aaron Prevots emphasizes this major poet’s decentered lyricism and the presence of fellow writers as interlocutors.
   
SA01-507 Imaginative Ecologies: Inspiring Change through the Humanities
  Diana Villanueva-Romero/ 9789004501263/ Price:EUR 89.00
 
Book Cover Imaginative Ecologies: Inspiring Change through the Humanities highlights the role literature and visual arts play in fostering sustainability. It weaves together contributions by international scholars, practitioners and environmental activists whose insights are brought together to illustrate how creative imaginations can inspire change. One of the most outstanding characteristic of this volume is its interdisciplinarity and its varied methods of inquiry. The field of environmental humanities is discussed together with ideas such as the role of the public intellectual and el buen vivir. Examples of ecofiction from the UK, the US and Spain are analysed while artistic practices aimed at raising awareness of the effects of the Anthropocene are presented as imaginative ways of reacting against climate change and rampant capitalism.
   
SA01-507 Landscapes of Affect and Emotion: Nordic Environmental Humanities and the Emotional Turn
  Maunu Hayrynen/ 9789004469556/ Price:EUR 99.00
 
Book Cover The volume Landscapes of Affect and Emotion maps out the current approaches on emotion and affect in environmental humanities and interdisciplinary landscape studies. It discusses the contemporary emotional turn in humanities and its relation to space, place and landscape. Emotions and affects are addressed from three main angles: representation and symbolic landscape, place experience and lifeworlds, and landscape as an embodied set of practices. These are studied in terms of the changing human-nature relationship, focusing on politicisations and contestations of landscape as well as boundaries and hybridity between culture and nature.
   
SA01-507 Samuel Beckett dans les marges du surrealisme: Ou l'ecriture du rocking chair
  Bernard-Oliver Posse/ 9789004463400/ Price:EUR 89.00
 
Longuement, la question de la productivite du mouvement surrealiste francais sur l’?uvre de Samuel Beckett fut debattue, polarisee entre rejet et acceptation peremptoire. Cette possible influence trouve un point d’appui important dans Samuel Beckett dans les marges du surrealisme, decouvrant une ?uvre faite de reprises et d’emprunts de la poesie surrealiste. Par un depouillement attentif des archives beckettiennes incluant correspondance, cahiers preparatoires et publications en revue, Bernard-Olivier Posse propose une methode philologique melant analyse litteraire et perspective sociologique propice a reconsiderer la posture auctoriale de Samuel Beckett. The question of how influential the French surrealist movement has been on the work of Samuel Beckett has been debated for a long time but the answers were only made of peremptory oppositions : either rejection or acceptation. Samuel Beckett dans les marges du surrealisme aims to demonstrate the (ambiguous) way Beckett works with surrealist poetry by a play of quotations which are always repeated, always altered. Based on research on Beckettian archives such as his correspondence, preparatory notes and publications in journals, this book combines literary analysis and sociological perspective in order to understand how Beckett deals with his self-representation as a writer.
   
SA01-507 Before Humanity: Posthumanism and Ancestrality
  Stefan Herbrechter/ 9789004502444/ Price:EUR 109.00
 
Book Cover Before Humanity takes up the question of the post- in the posthuman from the position of ancestrality. Speculating about who or what comes after the human inevitably throws us back to our very beginnings. The before in Before Humanity in this context takes on two meanings: 1) what happened before we apparently became human? – which translates into a critical reading of paleo-anthropology, as well as evolutionary narratives of hominization; 2) living through the end of a certain (humanist, anthropocentric) notion of humanity, what tasks lie before us? – which provokes a critical reading of the Anthropocene and current narratives of geologization. In other words, Before Humanity investigates conceptualizations of humanity and asks whether we have ever been human and if not, what could, or maybe what should we have been?
   
SA01-507 Histoire des deux Indes: Raynal et ses doubles
  Pierino Gallo/ 9789004472761/ Price:EUR 60.00
 
Book Cover Le statut polygraphique et la structure heterogene de l’Histoire des deux Indes invitent a reexaminer les methodes et les strategies employees par les redacteurs, et amenent a lire le texte dans une double perspective : celle dictee par la tradition historiographique et celle suggeree, en parallele, par les intrusions du discours philosophique. C’est ce dernier aspect que tachent d’interroger les etudes ici reunies, en mettant l’accent sur le recyclage des sources et le croisement des voix textuelles (ce qui finit par ? mettre en scene ? une pluralite de visions sur les thematiques traitees), sur les phenomenes rhetoriques utilises par les auteurs (apostrophes, commentaires, dialogues fictifs et apartes), et/ou sur les figures qui marquent la narration d’une polyphonie subjective. The polygraphic status and the heterogeneous structure of the Histoire des deux Indes invite us to re-examine the methods and strategies employed by the editors, and lead us to read the text from a double perspective: that dictated by the historiographical tradition and that suggested, in parallel, by the intrusions of philosophical discourse. It is this latter aspect that the articles gathered here attempt to examine, focusing on the recycling of sources and the crossing of textual voices (which ends up "staging" a plurality of visions on the themes treated), on the rhetorical phenomena used by the authors (apostrophes, commentaries, fictitious dialogues and asides), and/or on the figures that mark the narrative with a subjective polyphony.
   
SA01-507 Old Norse-Icelandic Philology and National Identity in the Long Nineteenth Century
  Gylfi Gunnlaugsson/ 9789004499652/ Price:EUR 123.00
 
Book Cover For centuries, the literary heritage preserved in Icelandic medieval manuscripts has played a vital role in the self-image of the Icelandic nation. From the late eighteenth century, Icelandic scholars had better opportunities than previously to study and publish this material on their own terms. Throughout the long nineteenth century they were intensely engaged in philological work on it. This coincided with an increasing awareness among Icelanders of a separate nationality and their growing demand for autonomy. What was the connection between the two developments? This literature was also important for the shaping of identities among other Northern European nations. The twelve chapters of this collection explore the interplay between various national discourses that characterized the scholarly reception of this heritage during the period.
   
SA01-507 Visualizing the Poetry of Statius: An Intertextual Approach
  Christopher Chinn/ 9789004498853/ Price:EUR 119.00
 
Book Cover Scholars have long noted the strikingly visual aspects of Statius’ poetry. This book advances our understanding of how these visual aspects work through intertextual analysis. In the Thebaid, for instance, Statius repeatedly presents “visual narratives” in the form of linked descriptive (or ekphrastic) passages. These narratives are subject to multiple forms visual interpretation inflected by the intertextual background. Similarly, the Achilleid activates particularly Roman conceptions of masculinity through repeated evocations of Achilles’ blush. The Silvae offer a diversity of modes of viewing that evoke Roman conceptions of gender and class.
   
SA01-507 Brill' s Companion to the Reception of Homer from the Hellenistic Age to Late Antiquity
  Christina-Panagiota Manolea/ 9789004243439/ Price:EUR 194.00
 
Book Cover Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Homer from the Hellenistic Age to Late Antiquity presents a comprehensive account of the afterlife of the Homeric corpus. Twenty chapters written by a range of experts in the field show how Homeric poems were transmitted, disseminated, adopted, analysed, admired or even criticized across diverse intellectual environments, from the late 4th century BCE to the 5th century CE. The volume explores the impact of Homer on Hellenistic prose and poetry, the Second Sophistic, the Stoics, some Christian writers and the major Neoplatonists, showing how the Greek paideia continued to flourish in new contexts.
   
SA01-507 The Brigands' Song: Serving in the Army of A Native Chieftain: A Traditional Song Text from Guangxi in Southern China
  David Holm/ 9789004449831/ Price:EUR 154.00
 
Book Cover This is an annotated edition of a traditional song text, written in the Zhuang character script. The Brigands’ Song is part of a living tradition, sung antiphonally by two male and two female singers. The song is probably unique in presenting the experiences of ordinary men and women during wartime in pre-modern China. The narrative relates how the men are sent off to war, fighting as native troops on behalf of the Chinese imperial armies. The song dates from the Ming dynasty and touches on many topics of historical significance, such as the use of firearms and other operational details.

Iron Age Terracotta Figurines from the Southern Levant in Context
  Erin D. Darby/ 9789004436763/ Price:EUR 200.00

All the Tiny Moments Blazing: A Literary Guide to Suburban London
  Ged Pope/ 9781789146486/ Price:GBP 14.99
 
From Richmond to Rainham, Cockfosters to Croydon, this sweeping literary tour of London’s boroughs describes how writers, since the seventeenth century, have responded to and reimagined London’s suburbs. Illuminating a galaxy of authors, from Samuel Johnson to Italo Svavo and Angela Carter, it introduces us to the great suburban novels, such as Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia and Zadie Smith’s NW. It also reveals the lesser-known short stories, diaries, poems, local guides, travelogues, memoirs and biographies, which together show how these communities have long been brilliantly imagined.
   
Poor Naked Wretches: Shakespeare's Working People
  Stephen Unwin/ 9781789146615/ Price:GBP 20.00
 
Book Cover Was Shakespeare a snob? Poor Naked Wretches challenges the idea that our greatest writer despised working people, and shows that he portrayed them with as much insight, compassion and purpose as the rich and powerful. Moreover, they play an important role in his dramatic method. Stephen Unwin reads Shakespeare anew, exploring the astonishing variety of working people in his plays, as well as the vast range of cultural sources from which they were drawn. Unwin argues that the robust realism of these characters, their independence of mind and their engagement in the great issues of the day, makes them much more than mere ‘comic relief’. Compassionate, cogent and wry, Poor Naked Wretches grants these often-overlooked figures the dignity and respect they deserve.
   
Billy and Lord Byron, or, A Matter Of Time
  William R. Stott, Jr./ 9798985221428/ Price:US$ 28.00
 
illy and Lord Byron is a coming-of-age story, or Bildungsroman, focusing on the development of an eighteen-year-old boy, Billy, from youth to adulthood, through the care and healing of an injured crow he discovers while at his summer job digging ditches. Billy’s personal growth and mental cultivation center on the knowledge he gains by researching this species of bird as he thoughtfully and playfully nurses the crow back to health and eventual reentry into the wild. It addresses issues of self-development as he prepares to go off to college and portends the author’s cultivation of a life-long study of ornithology.
   
Chronicle Of The Left Hand: An American Black Family's Story from Slavery to Russia's Hollywood
  James Lloydovich Patterson/ 9798985221411/ Price:US$ 24.00
 
Chronicle of the Left Hand by James Lloydovich Patterson was originally published by Molodaya Gvardiya Publishers, Moscow, in 1964 (Khronika levoi ruki). This is the first translation in English and the first time it is published outside of Russia. The story of James Lloydovich Patterson and his family is a fascinating glimpse into post-Civil War life in America. The memoir, told in the first person by his grandmother, Margaret Glascoe, the daughter of a sharecropper, makes for a poignant account that resonates even today. Patterson adds his own insightful commentary and reflections throughout the chronicle. In 1932 Margaret Glascoe’s only son Lloyd Patterson traveled to Moscow with Langston Hughes and other African Americans at the invitation of the Soviet government. Lloyd met and married Vera Aralova, a theatre designer and artist. They had three sons, James, Lloyd Jr., and Tom. James was born on 17 July 1933 in Moscow. When James was two years old, he was invited to play the crucial role of an interracial toddler in the 1936 classic Soviet film CIRCUS. Later, he attended the Nakhimov Naval School in Riga and the Naval Academy in Leningrad. He served in the Soviet Navy as an officer on a submarine. Film and the Navy were not his calling but poetry was. At age seven he wrote his first poem, and in 1962 he graduated from the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute in Moscow. In 1963 Molodaya Gvardiya published his first poetry collection Russia, Africa. During the uncertainty of the 1990s in Russia, James and his mother Vera (now deceased) decided to move to the United States. They made their home in Washington, DC.
   
A Country Of Paper
  Laura Benedetti/ 9798985221459/ Price:US$ 24.00
 
A Country of Paper spans two countries (the United States and Italy), three generations of women (Alice, her daughter Jane and her granddaughter Sara), and more than sixty years, from World War II to 2011. It tackles issues of cultural identity, family ties, displacement and loss, as it follows Sara in her journey to L’Aquila, Italy, to fulfill her grandmother’s last wish. Her personal quest intersects with the town’s struggle to recover from the disastrous 2009 earthquake, as Sara painfully uncovers her family’s history while trying to find her bearings in a devastated urban landscape.

SA01-507 Le mythe au feminin et l'(in)visibilisation du corps
  Brigitte Le Juez/ 9789004470217/ Price:EUR 109.00
 
Book Cover Dans une perspective innovante et interdisciplinaire (ethique, mythocritique, sociocritique, psychanalyse, theories du genre), des figures mythiques feminines et autres, revelatrices de notre regard sur le monde, sont ici analysees sous les aspects varies de leurs transformations dans la litterature, le cinema et a travers des evenements historiques de ce dernier siecle. Les treize auteures des essais qui composent ce volume, venues de dix pays et de quatre continents, presentent la maniere dont les mythes grecs, bibliques, africains – parfois sources de nouveaux mythes nes de conflits ou traumatismes modernes – permettent de rendre visibles les paradigmes de pensee qui conditionnent les rapports humains, surtout la perception du corps encore sous l’emprise d’un imaginaire collectif soumis a la domination patriarcale. Within an innovative and interdisciplinary framework including ethics, myth criticism, sociocriticism, psychoanalysis and gender theories, mythical figures, feminine and others that reveal the ways we perceive the world, are being analyzed in light of the various aspects pertaining to their transformations through the literature, cinema and historical events of this past century. The contributors of the thirteen essays that comprise the present volume, originating from ten countries and four continents, elaborate the manner in which Greek, Biblical and African myths, occasionally generating new myths borne out of contemporary conflicts or traumas – unveil the belief systems that define human relationships, in particular the perception of the body, still subject to a collective imaginary conditioned by the patriarchal supremacy.
   
SA01-507 National Stereotyping, Identity Politics, European Crises
  Jurgen Barkhoff/ 9789004434554/ Price:EUR 99.00
 
Book Cover The articulation of collective identity by means of a stereotyped repertoire of exclusionary characterizations of Self and Other is one of the longest-standing literary traditions in Europe and as such has become part of a global modernity. Recently, this discourse of Othering and national stereotyping has gained fresh political virulence as a result of the rise of “Identity Politics”. What is more, this newly politicized self/other discourse has affected Europe itself as that continent has been weathering a series of economic and political crises in recent years. The present volume traces the conjunction between cultural and literary traditions and contemporary ideologies during the crisis of European multilateralism.

SA01-507 Racine et les trois publics de l'amour
  Delphine Calle/ 9789004458871/ Price:EUR 109.00
 
Book Cover Dans Racine et les trois publics de l’amour Delphine Calle analyse la seduction du theatre racinien a partir des debats sur les passions du XVIIe siecle francais. Concupiscence ou pur amour, amour-propre ou desir de plaire, l’amour est au c?ur de la tragedie racinienne : moteur de l’action tragique, il emeut le public. Celui-ci est triple : le protagoniste amoureux est non seulement scrute par les spectateurs dans la salle, passionnes par la passion, il s’expose devant le personnage qu’il aime et parait devant le tribunal de sa propre conscience. A l’instar des moralistes du XVIIe siecle, grands censeurs du theatre, ce livre etablit le parallele entre les experiences amoureuse et theatrale, pour mieux percer la dramaturgie de l’amour chez Racine. In Racine et les trois publics de l’amour Delphine Calle unravels the seductive power of Racinian tragedy by turning to the 17th-century French debates on love. Whether it is staged as concupiscence or pure love, as self-love or the desire to please, love is at the heart of Racinian theatre: it sparks tragic action and moves its spectators. These spectators are threefold: the tragic lover is not only scrutinized by the real audience, who is passionate about passion, he also feels the gaze of his loved one and of his own conscience, that questions the value of his love. Following the 17th- century moralist theatre critics, this monograph aligns amorous and theatrical experiences, in order to reveal Racine’s dramaturgy of love.

Fire On The Zen: Be Water For Hong Kong'S 2019
  Lai-Fong Wong/ 9781734865929/ Price:US$ 24.00
 
Book Cover “ZEN” (A Japanese term originated from the Chinese Buddhism “Chen” 禪) is implied to a sensual state of mind under a meditative phenomenon. During the process of Zen practice, practitioners, at the highest levels, are expected to imagine sitting in the middle of the fire and keeping clam. Hong Kong was in a social turmoil that the public thoroughly displayed an art of Zen on fire philosophically for its constant protesting activities during the year of 2019. Most Hong Kong protesters have been willing to go through the “fire” for re-identifying themselves, whereas all personal senses are to be refining over the fire of love and hostility, passion and confusion, leading lives to enlighten for a new page of complete democratization on their homeland. Such kind of devotion have successfully motivated a massive movement amid young people for turning their original weak habits into waves of diverse and activating strength, the calm be shock, peaceable be forceable, and vice versa. When lighting a fire on positive purpose, there is a paradoxical martyr’s emotion for aesthetically “burning into ash” as an ending. Hong Kong’s temporal anti-extradition social movement has chronically been rooted on a dramatic shift of civilian identity and a sense of belonging since the United Kingdom handed over its 100-year-ruling colony back to Communist China in 1997. Metaphorically, it generates symbiotic effects beyond a single regional defiance on itself and gradually extends to a totally unexpected universal context.
   
A Way Of Knowing: Collected Poems 1970-2020
  William R. Stott/ 9781734865936/ Price:US$ 28.00
 
Bill Stott gives this collection of poems the working title of “A Way of Knowing” because it’s an exercise in epistemology. As a poet, he creates descriptions that are “concrete, specific, palpable, and real.” How does Stott describe what’s going on around him? He observes—watching, listening, watching and listening some more, then tells us what he’s observed. You can recreate this experiment in epistemology if you read Stott's poems aloud. Savor them as an actor savors a dramatic monologue; let the words pulse into life. It’s difficult to contemplate what we’re experiencing. Judgment is always jumping in: “OK, I see what that is. Next!” We’re like the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, rushing on with no time for what’s now. A poet does the opposite, asking: “Wait; what’s that; what’s it doing?” The poet has learned to linger, to watch as things unfold. The poet measures time with love, not with efficiency, and shares that love with readers who are willing to enter a moment and abide a while. This practice of careful observation is the same method Stott uses whether he’s writing, leading a birding trip, guiding readers through scripture, or teaching English literature—he asks, “What do you see? Take a closer look. Now what do you see? Look again.” Some of the poems in this collection have been previously published. Some of them Stott thought he’d put away as first drafts, or as notes for further fiddling. But as he reread them, he was surprised to find them finished. They came alive again in a surprising way. Now he wants to let them loose so he can move on to more looking and listening.
   
The Poet and the Publisher: The Case of Alexander Pope, Esq., of Twickenham versus Edmund Curll, Bookseller in Grub Street
  Pat Rogers/ 9781789144161/ Price:GBP 25.00
 
The quarrel between the poet Alexander Pope and the publisher Edmund Curll has long been a notorious episode in the history of the book, when two remarkable figures with a gift for comedy and an immoderate dislike of each other clashed publicly and without restraint. However, it has never, until now, been chronicled in full. Ripe with the sights and smells of Hanoverian London, The Poet and Publisher details their vitriolic exchanges, drawing on previously unearthed pamphlets, newspaper articles and advertisements, court and government records, and personal letters. The story of their battles in and out of print includes a poisoning, the pillory, numerous instances of fraud, and a landmark case in the history of copyright. Indecently entertaining, the book is a forensic account of events both momentous and farcical.

The Abalone Ukulele: A Tale of Far Eastern Intrigue
  R. L. Crossland/ 9781735937816/ Price:US$ 26.00
 
Book Cover The point of collision is three tons of Japanese gold ingots meant to undermine an already collapsing China. Three ordinary men, a disgraced Korean tribute courier, a bookish naval officer, and a polyglot third-class quartermaster realize they — with sub rosa assistance from Asiatic Station — must foil Japanese subversion and highjack that gold to finance a Korean insurrection. Three ordinary women complement their efforts: an enigmatic changsan courtesan, a feisty Down East consular clerk, and a clever Chinese farm-girl. It is a tale that wends through the outskirts of Peking to the Yukon River; from the San Francisco waterfront to a naval landing party isolated on a Woosung battlefield; from ships of the US Asiatic Fleet moored on Battleship Row to a junk on the Yangtze; and from the Korean gold mines of Unsan to a coaling quay in Shanghai. Though the heist is all but flawless, something is a-kilter. Soon a foreign intelligence service, a revolutionary army, and two Chinese triads converge on a nation’s ransom in gold.

John Law: The Man Who Changed the World
  Pat Silver-Lasky/ 9781735937885/ Price:US$ 26.00
 
Book Cover This is the story of John Law, a pied piper who led rich and poor alike across the barriers of reason and plunged them into disaster. Was he a genius, wizard or charlatan? Was France victimized by a gigantic fraud perpetrated by a scheming Scotsman? Sex, Money, and Power are the most powerful forces that drive mankind, and John Law was hell bent on having them all. This handsome Scottish adventurer stepped onto the stage of Europe at the dawn of the 18th century to alter forever the shape of international commerce. Born in Edinburgh in 1671, capable of hypnotizing women, monarchs, and whole populations, he escaped the hangman’s noose in England to travel the capitals of Europe, received by kings and sovereigns. Daredevil and genius, rake and economist, mathematical wizard, gambler par excellence, womanizer––and most of all: original thinker, the paper money in your pocket, stock market reports, banking credit, stocks, shares and investment systems are all the legacy of this charismatic adventurer.

SA01-507 Le Jeu de l'ambiguite et du mot: Ambiguite intentionnelle et Jeu de mots chez Apollinaire, Prevert, Tournier et Beckett
  Nicolaas van der Toorn/ 9789004414143/ Price:EUR 102.00
 
Book Cover Malgre leur apparente disparite, Apollinaire, Prevert, Tournier et Beckett partagent leur predilection pour l’ambiguite en general et leur gout pour le jeu de mots en particulier. La fonctionnalite litteraire qu’ils conferent aux doubles sens et au jeu de mots ne se limite pas a la plaisanterie ou au divertissement cerebral. Bien au contraire, elle est souvent a l’origine d’evocations serieuses et d’implications tragiques. Qui plus est, l’ambiguite intentionnelle et le jeu de mots peuvent etre a la base de la genese et de la structuration de leurs ?uvres. Despite their apparent disparity, Apollinaire, Prevert, Tournier and Beckett share a predilection for ambiguity in general and for puns in particular. The literary function they confer to double meanings and puns is not limited to humour or entertainment. On the contrary, it often generates serious reflections and tragic plots. Moreover, intentional ambiguity and puns can be the basis for the genesis and structuring of their works.

SA01-495 Identites francaises: Banlieues, feminites et universalisme
  Mame-Fatou Niang/ 9789004407220/ Price:EUR 125.00
 
Book Cover Identites francaises interroge les notions de peripherisation et d’identite nationale a travers une etude de discours sur les banlieues francaises. L’exploration du quotidien, au detriment de l'extraordinaire, invite le lecteur a reconsiderer les representations des peripheries, et les processus qui creent citoyennete et marginalite dans la France republicaine. L'accent est porte sur des experiences feminines dans des ?uvres produites par des ecrivains et artistes issus de ces espaces. Cette attention eclaire les parcours de femmes qui concentrent un ensemble de marginalites socio-economiques ou raciales. L’etude de ces intersections illumine de nombreuses notions d’inclusion et de peripherisation. En plein debats autour d’une identite nationale une et indivisible, l’?uvre de Mame-Fatou Niang illumine des identites plurielles ancrees dans les banlieues francaises. Identites francaises interrogates notions of marginalization and national identity through an analysis of French banlieues. The display of the quotidian, at the expense of the extraordinary, invites the reader to reconsider the most common images of these urban peripheries and the processes that create citizenship and marginality in republican France. The focus is on the female experience, in works produced by writers and artists from these peripheries. Banlieue women sit at the intersection of marginalities of race, gender and class. The study of these intersections illuminates multiple notions of identity, belonging and peripheralization. Amid the contemporary flare-ups and debates around a single and indivisible French national identity, Mame-Fatou Niang’s work brings to light plural identities rooted in France’s suburban spaces.
   
SA01-495 Detecting Chinese Modernities: Rupture and Continuity in Modern Chinese Detective Fiction (1896–1949)
  Yan Wei/ 9789004431270/ Price:EUR 142.00
 
Book Cover In Detecting Chinese Modernities: Rupture and Continuity in Modern Chinese Detective Fiction (1896–1949), Yan Wei historicizes the two stages in the development of Chinese detective fiction and discusses the rupture and continuity in the cultural transactions, mediation, and appropriation that occurred when the genre of detective fiction traveled to China during the first half of the twentieth century. Wei identifies two divergent, or even opposite strategies for appropriating Western detective fiction during the late Qing and the Republican periods. She further argues that these two periods in the domestication of detective fiction were also connected by shared emotions. Both periods expressed ambivalent and sometimes contradictory views regarding Chinese tradition and Western modernity.
   
SA01-495 Green Matters: Ecocultural Functions of Literature
  Maria Loschnigg/ 9789004408869/ Price:EUR 136.00
 
Green Matters offers a fascinating insight into the regenerative function of literature with regard to environmental concerns. Based on recent developments in ecocriticism, the book demonstrates how the aesthetic dimension of literary texts makes them a vital force in the struggle for sustainable futures. Applying this understanding to individual works from a number of different thematic fields, cultural contexts and literary genres, Green Matters presents novel approaches to the manifold ways in which literature can make a difference. While the first sections of the book highlight the transnational, the focus on Canada in the last section allows a more specific exploration of how themes, genres and literary forms develop their own manifestations within a national context. Through its unifying ecocultural focus and its variegated approaches, the volume is an essential contribution to contemporary environmental humanities.
   
SA01-495 Andre du Bouchet: Poetic Forms of Attention
  Emma Wagstaff/ 9789004427143/ Price:EUR 102.00
 
Book Cover In Andre du Bouchet: Poetic Forms of Attention, Emma Wagstaff provides the first book-length study in English of this major poet of the second half of the twentieth century. She shows how Du Bouchet’s rigorous and innovative creative and critical writing advances our understanding of attention. Du Bouchet is known as a post-war poet of the natural world and the space of the page. Far from just a solitary writer, however, he engaged with others through his work as editor, critic, and translator, and his involvement in the protests of May 1968. Emma Wagstaff shows how his writing demonstrates nuanced attention to language, time, nature, and art, and incites a ‘slow’ response on the part of the reader.
   
SA01-495 Reading(s) / across / Borders: Studies in Anglophone Borders Criticism
  Ciaran Ross/ 9789004417878/ Price:EUR 108.00
 
This collection emphasizes a cross-disciplinary approach to the relevance of borders and bordering as a spatial paradigm in Anglophone studies. It sets out to provide a critical counter-narrative to the 1990s globalization argument of a “borderless” world by insisting on the significant roles borders play. The essays range in subject matter from geography, history, British and American literature to painting and Reggae music and map out different conceptualisations of the border: place, line, process, contact zones, etc. The volume’s cross-border “narrative” serves as a point of communication between the local and the global, between Europe and America, between different literary and artistic genres, thus challenging the divides of geography and literature, between “real” territorial borders and their “fictional” counterparts.
   
SA01-495 Le retentissant destin de Georges Darien a la Belle Epoque: Vie et oeuvre d'un ecrivain refractaire
  Aurelien Lorig/ 9789004422483/ Price:EUR 108.00
 
Book Cover Dans Le retentissant destin de Georges Darien a la Belle Epoque, Aurelien Lorig s’interesse a la vie et a l’?uvre d’un ecrivain refractaire peu connu. Avant d’etre Darien, celui qui a pour patronyme Adrien est communement decrit comme un anarchiste et un marginal. En realite, c’est un homme de lettres passionnant. L’ouvrage retrace le parcours d’un auteur plein de paradoxes, mais toujours fidele a ses convictions individualistes. Malgre l’hostilite de ses contemporains, Darien croit au pouvoir des mots et pratique une ecriture assassine ou ethique comme esthetique replacent indeniablement l’ecrivain dans le jeu fin-de-siecle des heritages et des lignages. De maniere convaincante, Aurelien Lorig nous fait redecouvrir l’?uvre de Darien, laquelle pourrait inspirer les combats individuels, collectifs et sociaux d’aujourd’hui. In Le retentissant destin de Georges Darien a la Belle Epoque, Aurelien Lorig studies the life and the work of a little known, refractory author. Before he was Darien, the writer whose real surname was Adrien, is usually described as an anarchist, and an outcast. He actually was a fascinating man of letters. This essay recounts the journey of an author who, in spite of his numerous paradoxes, has always been true to his individualist values. In spite of his contemporaries' hostility, Darien believed in the power of words, and he practiced a murderous writing, in which ethics and aesthetics undeniably place the writer in the fin-de-siecle legacy and lineage game. Convincingly, Aurelien Lorig helps us to rediscover Darien's work, which could inspire us for individual, collective, and social nowadays struggles.
   
SA01-495 Emblematic Strategies in Pre-Raphaelite Literature
  Heather McAlpine/ 9789004407633/ Price:EUR 119.00
 
Book Cover In this book, Heather McAlpine argues that emblematic strategies play a more central role in Pre-Raphaelite poetics than has been acknowledged, and that reading Pre-Raphaelite works with an awareness of these strategies permits a new understanding of the movement’s engagements with ontology, religion, representation, and politics. The emblem is a discursive practice that promises to stabilize language in the face of doubt, making it especially interesting as a site of conflicting responses to Victorian crises of representation. Through analyses of works by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Christina Rossetti, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Gerard Manley Hopkins, A.C. Swinburne, and William Morris, Emblematic Strategies examines the Pre-Raphaelite movement’s common goal of conveying “truth” while highlighting differences in its adherents’ approaches to that task.
   
SA01-495 La memoire des conflits dans la fiction francaise contemporaine
  Cornelia Ruhe/ 9789004426917/ Price:EUR 102.00
 
Book Cover La litterature francaise contemporaine porte un vif interet au dechiffrement de la guerre sous la paix, a l’histoire des conflits sanglants du XXe siecle et de leurs sequelles pour la vie civile. Elle depasse la vue partielle de l’histoire nationale et retablit le lien rompu avec celle de la periode coloniale. Les protagonistes des textes de Maurice Attia, de Mathias Enard, de Jerome Ferrari, de Laurent Gaude, d’Alexis Jenni, de Laurent Mauvignier et de Wajdi Mouawad sont bien souvent des veterans, des revenants qui tardent a vraiment ‘revenir’ de la guerre. La monographie cherche a explorer les modalites narratives qui permettent aux auteurs d’adresser les traumatismes et d’entamer le travail de memoire. Contemporary French literature is acutely interested in peacetime attempts to make sense of war, in the history of the bloody conflicts of the twentieth century and their repercussions on civilian life. It goes beyond the partial view of national history and restores the broken link to the history of the colonial era. Many of the characters of Maurice Attia, Mathias Enard, Jerome Ferrari, Laurent Gaude, Alexis Jenni, Laurent Mauvignier and Wajdi Mouawad are veterans, returnees who have trouble really ‘returning’ from war. This monograph aims to explore the narrative methods that allow the authors to address traumas and begin the work of memory.
   
SA01-495 The City of Ye in the Chinese Literary Landscape
  Joanne Tsao/ 9789004420137/ Price:EUR 97.00
 
Book Cover In The City of Ye in the Chinese Literary Landscape, Joanne Tsao demonstrates how the city of Ye changed from an iconic space that represented Cao Cao’s heroic enterprise to a symbol of the fruitlessness of human endeavour, and then finally to a literary landmark, a synecdoche for the vicissitudes of human life caught in the predictable cycles of dynastic rise and decline. Through a close reading of literary works on Ye, she illustrates how the city transformed from a lived to imaginative space to become a symbol in the poetic lexicon. Making use of literary and historical texts on Ye and its material remains through the Song and beyond she shows the potency of place as a generative force in literary production and in historical discourse.
   
SA01-495 The Culture of Love in China and Europe
  Paolo Santangelo/ 9789004396869/ Price:EUR 199.00
 
Book Cover In The Culture of Love in China and Europe Paolo Santangelo and Gabor Boros offer a survey of the cults of love developed in the history of ideas and literary production in China and Europe between the 12th and early 19th century. They describe parallel evolutions within the two cultures, and how innovatively these independent civilisations developed their own categories and myths to explain, exalt but also control the emotions of love and their behavioural expressions. The analyses contain rich materials for comparison, point out the universal and specific elements in each culture, and hint at differences and resemblances, without ignoring the peculiar beauty and attractive force of the texts cultivating love.
   
SA01-495 Self-reflection in Literature
  Florian Lippert/ 9789004406933/ Price:EUR 114.00
 
Self-reflection is fundamental for human thinking on many levels. Philosophy has described the mind's capacity to observe itself as a core element of human existence. Political and social sciences have shown how modern democracies depend on society's ability to critically reflect on their own values and practices. And literature of all ages has proven self-reflexivity to be a crucial trait of cultural production. This volume provides the first diachronic panorama of genres, forms, and functions of literary self-reflection and their connections with social, political and philosophical discourses from the 17th century to the present. Far beyond the usual focus on postmodernist opacity, these contributions present a rich tradition of critical transparency: Literary texts that show us what is behind and beyond them.
   
SA01-495 Silence, Implicite et Non-Dit chez Rousseau / Silence, the Implicit and the Unspoken in Rousseau
  Brigitte Weltman-Aron/ 9789004411388/ Price:EUR 102.00
 
Book Cover Silence, Implicite et Non-Dit chez Rousseau/Silence, the Implicit, and the Unspoken in Rousseau prend acte d’un grand nombre de publications ayant trait a l’analyse par Rousseau des langues et du langage, de la parole par rapport a l’ecriture, de la voix (y compris la voix de la nature). Mais ce volume se consacre tout particulierement au fonctionnement et aux effets du silence, de l’implicite et du non-dit dans la pensee de Rousseau. Son approche est a la fois polyvalente et coherente, et ses reflexions sur le silence sont associees a d’autres preoccupations esthetiques, politiques, et morales de son ?uvre.
   
SA01-495 Thinking with the Familiar in Contemporary Literature and Culture 'Out of the Ordinary'
  Joel Kuortti/ 9789004402270/ Price:EUR 91.00
 
Book Cover What grows out of the ordinary? This volume focuses on that which has been regarded as ordinary, self-evident and formulaic in literary and cultural phenomena such as diasporic cuisine, pet adoption narratives, Prairie writing, romance between stepsiblings, the program of a political party, and everyday shopping in poetry. The book argues that by engaging with that which is perceived as ordinary we also gain understanding of how otherness becomes defined and constituted. The volume seeks new ways to access that which might lie in-between or beyond the opposition between exploitation and emancipation, and contests the hegemonic logic of revealing oppression and rebuilding liberation in contemporary critical theory to create new ways of knowing which grow out of the ordinary.
   
SA01-495 Contemporary Fairy-Tale Magic: Subverting Gender and Genre
  Lydia Brugue/ 9789004418981/ Price:EUR 88.00
 
Book Cover Contemporary Fairy-Tale Magic, edited by Lydia Brugue and Auba Llompart, studies the impact of fairy tales on contemporary cultures from an interdisciplinary perspective, with special emphasis on how literature and film are retelling classic fairy tales for modern audiences. We are currently witnessing a resurgence of fairy tales and fairy-tale characters and motifs in art and popular culture, as well as an increasing and renewed interest in reinventing and subverting these narratives to adapt them to the expectations and needs of the contemporary public. The collected essays also observe how the influence of academic disciplines like Gender Studies and current literary and cinematic trends play an important part in the revision of fairy-tale plots, characters and themes.
   
SA01-495 Learning to Live: Six Essays on Marcel Proust
  Maurizio Ferraris/ 9789004422551/ Price:EUR 124.00
 
In this collection of essays, Maurizio Ferraris explores the world portrayed in Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time. He ponders how memory is tied to self-identification and knowledge; how the passage of time is only perceptible after it has passed; and how life, ultimately, is accurately portrayed in literature in ways that were seen as inconceivable in our youth. Running throughout the book is the sense that memory is all we are; we are what we remember or what others remember of us.

PERDITION: Part One of the Profane Comedy
  D. Selby Fing/ 9781734865943/ Price:US$ 26.00
 
Perdition is Part One of The Profane Comedy, an epic poem that encompasses all of US history, literature and philosophy. It uses Dante’s epic architecture to show the way to attain enlightenment by following a modern, secular path. Thirty powerful illustrations provide the visual impact. The poet, with Lincoln as his guide, wanders from scene to scene, first at the gate of hell, with Ronald Reagan, next Herbert Hoover, then Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and Elvis Presley, then a bunch of fetuses, then a hostile audience, and so on, until he comes into Satan's presence, with Teddy Roosevelt and Nixon nearby. Then he goes through the river of cleansing fire... In each scene, the featured characters are stand-ins for their time, a microcosmic example of those who (as Dante said of Inferno) had lost the good of their intellect, causing America to lose its creative energy, in recognition of the very destructive energy also unleashed in its imperial expansion. In Perdition they are paying for sins far beyond their own, and the fact that everybody from one period of time has been cast into the pit is yet another irony. By the time Fing finally meets Satan, it's become clear that the sins have been imperial in nature, a hubristic dominance of the world, and the cold inhumanity of society's institutions. But Perdition is just the first of three canticles: Limbo, where Fing returns to the mainland of the USA, and Elysium, in which Fing is raised into the heavens.

Under Indifferent Skies
  Vasken Berberian/ 9781734865967/ Price:US$ 28.00
 
Under Indifferent Skies is an enticing novel, recounting the story of the Armenian genocide and beyond, from the shores of the Mediterranean to the frozen Siberian coast, from the plush palazzi of Venice to the cruel Soviet concentration camps, following the lives of two twin two brothers, Mikael and Gabriel, and their younger sister, Rose. The story moves in space and time against the background of many of the significant historical events of the last century which shook the very foundations of humanity. It is compelling, full of suspense and unexpected narrative twists. It kindles universal emotions and tackles collective aspects of human existence. Primordial instincts like survival, the experience of motherhood, the bond of blood ties, the need to belong, the quest for a purpose in life are some of the issues portrayed here. Above all, it is a story of resilience and hope. A story of faith into a supreme force that governs the Cosmos, which inexorably renders justice in the end.
   
The Midlife Mind: Literature and the Art of Ageing
  Ben Hutchinson/ 9781789143508/ Price:GBP 20.00
 
The meaning of life is a common concern, but what is the meaning of midlife? With the help of illustrious writers such as Dante, Montaigne, Beauvoir, Goethe and Beckett, The Midlife Mind sets out to answer this question. Erudite but engaging, it takes a personal approach to that most impersonal of processes, ageing. From the ancients to the moderns, from poets to playwrights, writers have long meditated on how we can remain creative as we move through our middle years. There are no better guides, then, to how we have regarded middle age in the past, how we understand it in the present, and how we might make it as rewarding as possible in the future.
   
All the Tiny Moments Blazing: A Literary Guide to Suburban London
  Ged Pope/ 9781789143072/ Price:GBP 25.00
 
The London suburbs have, for more than 250 years, fired the creative literary imagination: whether this is Samuel Johnson hiding away in bucolic pre-industrial Streatham, Italo Svevo cheering on Charlton Athletic FC down at The Valley, or Angela Carter hymning the joyful ‘wrongness’ of living south-of-the-river in Brixton. From Richmond to Rainham, Cockfosters to Croydon, this sweeping literary tour of the 32 London Boroughs describes how writers, from the seventeenth century on, have responded to and fictionally reimagined London’s suburbs. It introduces us to the great suburban novels, such as Hanif Kureishi’s Bromley-set The Buddha of Suburbia, Lawrence Durrell’s Black Book and Zadie Smith’s NW. It also reveals the lesser-known short stories, diaries, poems, local guides, travelogues, memoirs and biographies, which together show how these communities have long been closely observed, keenly remembered and brilliantly imagined.

SA01-507 Urban Modernities in Colonial Korea and Taiwan
  Jina E. Kim/ 9789004401150/ Price:EUR 131.00
 
Book Cover Urban Modernities reconsiders Japanese colonialism in Korea and Taiwan through a relational study of modernist literature and urban aesthetics from the late colonial period. By charting intra-Asian and transregional circulations of writers, ideas, and texts, it reevaluates the dominant narrative in current scholarship that presents Korea and Taiwan as having vastly different responses to and experiences of Japanese colonialism. By comparing representations of various colonial spaces ranging from the nation, the streets, department stores, and print spaces to underscore the shared experiences of the quotidian and the poetic, Jina E. Kim shows how the culture of urban modernity enlivened networks of connections between the colonies and destabilized the metropole-colony relationship, thus also contributing to the broader formation of global modernism.
   
SA01-495 Hundred Days' Literature: Chinese Utopian Fiction at the End of Empire, 1902–1910
  Lorenzo Andolfatto/ 9789004398849/ Price:EUR 136.00
 
Book Cover In Hundred Days’ Literature, Lorenzo Andolfatto explores the landscape of early modern Chinese fiction through the lens of the utopian novel, casting new light on some of its most peculiar yet often overshadowed literary specimens. The wutuobang or lixiang xiaoshuo, by virtue of its ideally totalizing perspective, provides a one-of-a-kind critical tool for the understanding of late imperial China’s fragmented Zeitgeist. Building upon rigorous close reading and solid theoretical foundations, Hundred Days’ Literature offers the reader a transcultural critical itinerary that links Edward Bellamy’s Looking Backward to Wu Jianren’s Xin Shitou ji via the writings of Liang Qichao, Chen Tianhua, Bihe Guanzhuren, and Lu Shi’e. The book also includes the first English translation of Cai Yuanpei’s short story “New Year’s Dream.”
   
SA01-495 Biological Time, Historical Time: Transfers and Transformations in 19th Century Literature
  Niklas Bender/ 9789004381377/ Price:EUR 142.00
 
Book Cover Biological Time, Historical Time presents a new approach to 19th century thought and literature: by focussing on the subject of time, it offers a new perspective on the exchanges between French and German literary texts on the one hand and scientific disciplines on the other. Hence, the rivalling influences of the historical sciences and of the life sciences on literary texts are explored, texts from various scientific domains – medicine, natural history, biology, history, and multiple forms of vulgarisation – are investigated. Literary texts are analysed in their participation in and transformation of the scientific imagination. Special attention is accorded to the temporal dimension: this allows for an innovative account of key concepts of 19th century culture.

  Michele Bacholle-Boskovic/ 9789004376656/ Price:EUR 125.00
 
Book Cover Cet ouvrage de Michele Bacholle est le premier a examiner des ecrits autobiographiques de romanciers francais contemporains endeuilles apres suicide. Alors que les livres de Fottorino et Vigan permettent une reflexion sur la famille, la filiation et les secrets (aux effets pathogenes et transgenerationnels), ceux de Grimbert et Rahmani montrent comment l’Histoire (l’Holocauste et les massacres des harkis) a cause des suicides retardes. Charneux et Delaume ouvrent, eux, une discussion sur les enfants endeuilles apres suicide. Puisant dans la psychologie et la suicidologie, ce livre montre les strategies utilisees pour dire l’indicible et que l’ecriture permet une restructuration de soi. En explorant le suicide et les tenants et aboutissants de ce deuil particulier, il leve aussi un tabou. Michele Bacholle’s book is the first to examine autobiographical writings by contemporary French novelists, survivors of another person’s suicide. While Fottorino’s and Vigan’s books allow a reflection on family, filiation, and family secrets (with their pathogenic and transgenerational effects), Grimbert’s and Rahmani’s show how History (the Holocaust and the harkis’ massacres at the end of the Algerian War) caused delayed suicides, and Charneux and Delaume open a discussion on children as suicide survivors. Using sources in psychology and suicidology, this book shows the strategies these writers use to tell the unspeakable and shows how writing enables self-restructuration.By exploring suicide and the ins and outs of its specific kind of mourning, this book breaks a taboo.
   
SA01-495 Fantasies of Self-Mourning: Modernism, the Posthuman and the Finite
  Ruben Borg/ 9789004390348/ Price:EUR 108.00
 
Book Cover In Fantasies of Self-Mourning Ruben Borg describes the formal features of a posthuman, cyborgian imaginary at work in modernism. The book’s central claim is that modernism invents the posthuman as a way to think through the contradictions of its historical moment. Borg develops a posthumanist critique of the concept of organic life based on comparative readings of Pirandello, Woolf, Beckett, and Flann O’Brien, alongside discussions of Alfred Hitchcock, Chris Marker, Bela Tarr, Ridley Scott and Mamoru Oshii. The argument draws together a cluster of modernist narratives that contemplate the separation of a cybernetic eye from a human body—or call for a tearing up of the body understood as a discrete organic unit capable of synthesizing desire and sense perception.
   
SA01-495 Contending for the "Chinese Modern": The Writing of Fiction in the Great Transformative Epoch of Modern China, 1937-1949
  Wang Xiaoping/ 9789004398627/ Price:EUR 249.00
 
Book Cover In Contending for the "Chinese Modern", Xiaoping Wang studies the writing of fiction in 1940s China. Through a practice of political hermeneutics of fictional texts and social subtexts, it explores how social modernity and literary modernity intertwined with and interacted upon each other in the development of modern Chinese literature. It not only makes critical reappraisement of some renowned modern Chinese writers, but also sheds fresh lights on a series of theoretical problems pertaining to the issue of plural modernities, in which the problematic of subjectivity, class consciousness and identity politics are the key words as well as the concrete procedures that it employs to undertake the ideological analysis. The manuscript signifies a new paradigm in studies of modern Chinese literature.
   
SA01-495 How to Do Things with Affects: Affective Triggers in Aesthetic Forms and Cultural Practices
  Ernst van Alphen/ 9789004397699/ Price:EUR 82.00
 
Book Cover How to Do Things with Affects develops affect as a highly productive concept for both cultural analysis and the reading of aesthetic forms. Shifting the focus from individual experiences and the human interiority of personal emotions and feelings toward the agency of cultural objects, social arrangements, and aesthetic matter, the book examines how affects operate and are triggered by aesthetic forms, media events, and cultural practices. Transgressing disciplinary boundaries and emphasizing close reading, the collected essays explore manifold affective transmissions and resonances enacted by modernist literary works, contemporary visual arts, horror and documentary films, museum displays, and animated pornography, with a special focus on how they impact on political events, media strategies, and social situations.
   
SA01-495 Ecriture du fantasme chez Jean-Philippe Toussaint et Tanguy Viel: Diffraction litteraire de l’identite
  Alice Richir/ 9789004382527/ Price:EUR 113.00
 
Book Cover Qui se cache derriere le ? Je ? et ses mensonges ? Ecriture du fantasme plonge au c?ur de la litterature contemporaine de langue francaise pour designer comme fantasmes, au sens psychanalytique, les projections imaginaires qui peuplent les romans de Jean-Philippe Toussaint et Tanguy Viel. Prenant appui sur la definition du fantasme de Sigmund Freud et sur l’identification de sa logique par Jacques Lacan, la fiction fantasmatique est envisagee comme un moyen pour un narrateur a l’identite diffractee de faire recit. Cette nouvelle logique narrative est etudiee a la lumiere des dispositifs modernes de l’image – photographie et cinema, essentiellement –, dont Toussaint et Viel s’inspirent pour deconstruire les cadres representatifs traditionnels et interroger le rapport entre identification et recit aujourd’hui. Who lies behind the "I" and its deceitful nature? Ecriture du fantasme delves into the heart of contemporary French-language literature to psychoanalytically designate as fantasies the imaginary projections which populate the novels of Jean-Philippe Toussaint and Tanguy Viel. Fantasized fiction is regarded as a means for a narrator with a diffracted identity to exist through the narration, based on how Sigmund Freud defined fantasy and on how Jacques Lacan deciphers its logic. This new sense of narration is studied through modern imagery devices – essentially photography and cinema. Toussaint and Viel use these as inspiration to deconstruct the traditional representative frameworks and question the current correlation between identification and narrative.
   
SA01-495 The Nature Essay: Ecocritical Explorations
  Simone Schroder/ 9789004360389/ Price:EUR 97.00
 
Book Cover The Nature Essay: Ecocritical Explorations is the first extended study of a powerful literary form born out of the traditions of Enlightenment and Romanticism. It traces the varied stylistic paradigms of the ‘nature essay’ down to the present day. Reading essays as platforms for ecological discourse, the book analyses canonical and marginalised texts, mainly from German, English and American literature. Simone Schroder argues that the essay’s environmental impact is rooted in its negotiation of scientific, poetic, spiritual, and ethical modes of perceiving nature. Together, the chapters on these four aspects form a historical panorama of the nature essay as a genre that continues to flourish in our time of ecological crisis.
   
SA01-495 Cultures of Uneven and Combined Development: From International Relations to World Literature
  James Christie/ 9789004337282/ Price:EUR 160.00
 
Book Cover Cultures of Uneven and Combined Development seeks to explore and develop Leon Trotsky’s concept of uneven and combined development. In particular, it aims to adapt the political and historical analysis which originated in Trotsky’s Russia for use within the contemporary field of world literature. As such, it draws together the work of scholars from both the field of international relations and the field of literature and the arts. This collection will therefore be of particular interest to anyone who is interested in new ways of understanding world literary texts, or interested in new ways of applying Trotsky’s revolutionary politics to the contemporary world order.

SA01-495 Literary Representations of Christianity in Late Qing and Republican China
  John T. P. Lai/ 9789004394117/ Price:EUR 142.00
 
Book Cover Literary Representations of Christianity in Late Qing and Republican China contributes to the “literary turn” in the study of Chinese Christianity by foregrounding the importance of literary texts, including the major genres of Chinese Christian literature (novels, drama and poetry) of the late Qing and Republican periods. These multifarious types of texts demonstrated the multiple representations and dynamic scenes of Christianity, where Christian imageries and symbolism were transformed by linguistic manipulation into new contextualized forms which nurtured distinctive new fruits of literature and modernized the literary landscape of Chinese literature. The study of the composition and poetics of Chinese Christian literary works helps us rediscover the concerns, priorities, textual strategies of the Christian writers, the cross-cultural challenges involved, and the reception of the Bible.
   
SA01-494 Literary Transnationalism(s)
  Dagmar Vandebosch/ 9789004370852/ Price:EUR 118.00
 
Book Cover Goethe in 1827 famously claimed that national literatures did not mean very much anymore, and that the epoch of world literature was at hand. Since the turn of the twenty-first century, in the so-called "transnational turn" in literary studies, interest in world literature, and in how texts move beyond national or linguistic boundaries, has peaked. The authors of the 18 articles making up Literary Transnationalism(s) reflect on how literary texts move between cultures via translation, adaptation, and intertextual referencing, thus entering the field of world literature. The texts and subjects treated range from Caribbean, American, and Latin American literature to European migrant literatures, from the uses of pseudo-translations to the organizing principles of world histories of literature, from the dissemination of knowledge in the middle ages to circulation of literary journals and series in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
   
SA01-494 Beat Literature in a Divided Europe
  Harri Veivo/ 9789004364110/ Price:EUR 114.00
 
Book Cover Beat Literature in Europe offers twelve in-depth analyses of how European authors and intellectuals on both sides of the Iron Curtain read, translated and appropriated American Beat literature. The chapters combine textual analysis with discussions on the role Beat had in popular music, art, and different subcultures. The book participates in the transnational turn that has gained in importance during the past years in literary studies, looking at transatlantic connections through the eyes of European authors, artists and intellectuals, and showing how Beat became a cluster of texts, images, and discussions with global scope. At the same time, it provides vivid examples of how national literary fields in Europe evolved during the cold war era.
   
GA01-204-7 Diaries and Travel Journals of Ernest Satow: Volume 7: 1904-1906: China & Japan
  Shinichi Miyazawa/ 9789814591164/ Price:US$ 300.00
 
Sir Ernest Mason Satow (1843–1929) was a legendary British diplomat, a key figure in East Asia and Anglo–Japanese/Chinese relations, particularly in Bakumatsu (1853–1867) and Meiji Era Japan (1868–1912), and in China after the Boxer Rebellion (1900–1906). He also served in Siam (present-day Thailand), Uruguay and Morocco, and represented Britain at the Second Hague Peace Conference in 1907. This transcribed and annotated collection is based on the microfilm copies from the UK National Archives, consisting of Satow’s diaries and travel journals that cover a period of over forty-five years (1861–1906). Volume 7 covers the period of 1904–1906 he spent in China (January 1904–May 1906), and Japan (May–June 1906).

CASTLE OF SHADOWS: A Family Saga
  Anna Lawton/ 9781733040815/ Price:US$ 26.00
 
An Italian Downton Abbey, this enticing family saga unfolds on the background of Italian history from 1870 to 1950. The rich narrative tapestry includes a castle in the Piedmont countryside, three women, three generations, and a multitude of minor characters. It brings to the fore individual lives and human predicaments, personal feelings and universal themes. The lives of the three main characters, apparently ordinary, but actually tragic in their inexorable decline, are placed in a coral context that includes: the castle dwellers and the villagers, industrial entrepreneurs and socialist agitators, stars of the silent screen and working girls, American officers in WWI, fascist thugs and victims of the regime, a rogue and an honest prostitute, a singer of the Neapolitan variete, a Russian prince, a descendant of Sir Walton the pirate, a band of partisans, a liberal priest, and even a domestic leopard. The narrator, who is herself a character, claims an approximate knowledge of facts, which she gathered from personal memories, stories heard from various people, documents and letters, supplemented by the imagination where evidence is lacking. Most of all, it is the photos from the family album that stir her imagination. The use of various languages and dialects very effectively adds sound to the images.
   
In Praise of the Bicycle
  Marc Auge/ 9781789141382/ Price:GBP 9.99
 
Book Cover This is the French anthropologist as we've never heard him before: Marc Auge coined the term ‘non-place’ to describe uniquitous, global airports, hotels and motorways filled with anonymous individuals. In this new book, he casts his anthropologist’s eye on a subject close to his heart: cycling. In In Praise of the Bicycle, Auge takes us on a personal journey of his own, on a two-wheeled ride around our cities, and on a journey into ourselves. We all remember the thrill of riding a bike for the first time and the joys of cycling. Here he reminds us that these memories are not just personal, but rooted in a time and a place, in a history that is shared with millions of others. Part memoir, part manifesto, Auge celebrates cycling as a way of reconnecting with the places in which we live, and, ultimately, as a necessary alternative to our disconnected world.

SA01-476 The Good Brexiteers Guide to English Lit
  John Sutherland/ 9781780239927/ Price:GBP 12.00
 
Book Cover What is Nigel Farage’s favourite novel? Why do Brexiteers love Sherlock Holmes? Is Philip Larkin the best Brexit poet ever? Through the politically relevant side-road of English literature, John Sutherland quarries the great literary minds of English history to assemble the ultimate reading list for Brexiteers. What happened to Britain on 24 June 2016 shook the country to its roots. The Brexit vote changed Britain. But despite its referendum victory, Brexit is peculiarly hollow. It is an idea without political apparatus, without sustaining history, without field-tested ideology. Without thinkers. It is like Frankenstein waiting for the lightning bolt. In this irreverent and entertaining new guide, Sutherland suggests some stuffing for the ideological vacuity at the heart of the Brexit cause. He looks for jingoistic meaning in the works of William Shakespeare, Jane Austen and Thomas Hardy, in modern classics like The Queen and I and London Fields, and in the national anthem, school songs and great poetry of the country. Sutherland explores what Britain meant, means and will mean, and subtly shows how great literary works have a shaping influence on the world. Witty and insightful, and with a preface by John Crace, this book belongs on the shelves of all good, bragging Brexiteers and many diehard Remoaners too.

The Astrologer's Sparrow: Poems
  Panna Naik/ 9781732698819/ Price:US$ 20.00
 
Poetry in the Americas: A Poet’s Voice from India in the United States of America. In an interview, Panna Naik writes: “… while my life in the United States seemed to be full of activity, my life within was terribly lonely. When I met and heard Anne Sexton…the sincerity and transparency in her poems did magic to my inner world. She inspired me to write about myself and give a voice to women around me.” As she interweaves her experiences and the experiences of women around her in India and the USA, Panna Naik uses imagery and symbols from the world of nature that she remembers from India as well as the imagery and symbols from the world of nature, which she encounters in the United States. Panna’s poetic expressions of nature as well as of human experiences from both worlds work extremely well within the intellectual and emotional poetic traditions of both worlds, of India and of the United States of America.

Power And Probity In A DC Cooperative: The Life and Death of Sursum Corda
  John C Hirsh/ 9780998643380/ Price:US$ 26.00
 
Book Cover This book recounts in detail the negotiations, internal and external struggles, and the outcome of an attempt by HUD, the City of Washington, and several developers to acquire a Washington, D.C. apartment complex known as Sursum Corda. The book begins with an account of a particularly horrific murder that took place in Sursum Corda in 2004, and shows how it was used, in the press and elsewhere, to attack the Community as a whole, and to use it as a reason that the Community should be disbanded, and the land on which it stood be dedicated to other purposes. It proceeds as a journal, kept intermittently between 2005 and 2017, by Professor John C. Hirsh of Georgetown University, who during that period directed an undergraduate tutorial program there in which Georgetown undergraduates travelled twice a week to instruct the K-6 children who live at Sursum Corda in the Language Arts, primarily in reading and writing. Because of his long association with the community he was appointed a non-voting (because non-resident) member of the Board that directs the Community affairs, as was his former student and friend Shiv Newaldass, a Georgetown graduate, whose family has long lived there.

VA01-154 J. R. R. Tolkien, 4-Vols/Set.
  Lee, Stuart/ 9781138889774/ Price:GBP 1150.00
 
Book Cover J. R. R. Tolkien (1892–1973) is widely regarded as one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. His popularity began with the publication in 1937 of The Hobbit, and was cemented by the appearance of The Lord of the Rings in the early 1950s. However, engagement with his work was until relatively recently sidelined by literary and other scholars. Consequently, many foundational analyses of his fiction, and his work as a medievalist, are dispersed in hard-to-find monographs and obscure journals (often produced by dedicated amateurs). In contrast, over the last decade or so, academic interest in Tolkien has risen dramatically. Indeed, interpretative and critical commentary is now being generated on a bewildering scale, in part aided by the continuing posthumous publication of his work (most recently, his Beowulftranslation which appeared in 2014). The dizzying quantity—and variable quality—of this later criticism makes it difficult to discriminate the useful from the tendentious, superficial, and otiose. Now, in four volumes, a new collection from Routledge’s Critical Assessments of Major Writers series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to collect early evaluations and to make sense of the more recent explosion in research output. Users are now able easily and rapidly to locate the best and most influential critical assessments. With material gathered into one easy-to-use set, Tolkien researchers and students can now spend more of their time with the key journal articles, book chapters, and other pieces, rather than on time-consuming (and sometimes fruitless) archival searches.
   
VA01-152 Indian Travel Writing, 1830-1947, 5-Vols/Set.
  Nayar, Pramod K./ 9781138811171/ Price:GBP 1050.00
 
Book Cover Indian Travel Writing is a new five-volume collection co-published by Routledge and Edition Synapse. Hitherto, the paucity of readily available travel writing produced by imperial subjects themselves has long been apparent, and this anthology addresses that lack. A veritable treasure-trove, it brings together scarce documents which are currently widely dispersed or very difficult for scholars, researchers, and students across the globe to locate and use. The collection confirms the deeply cosmopolitan sensibility possessed by many Indian travellers, and their narratives provide insightful contemporary critiques of the British Empire and of Euro-American culture more generally. The gathered works often exhibit considerable expertise in local cuisine, politics, and poetry, as well as a keen interest in political theory, human rights, and class conflict. Beyond Britain, continental Europe, and the USA, the collection also includes writing by Indians who travelled to Russia, China, the Far East, Australia, and Africa. Indian Travel Writing draws on the narratives of a diverse range of writers, including Indian princes, statesmen, lawyers, reformers, sportsmen, artists and curators, politicians, and merchants. Each piece is reproduced in facsimile, giving users a strong sense of immediacy to the texts and permitting citation to the original pagination. The collection will be particularly welcomed by historians and those working in colonial-discourse studies. It will also be of interest to anthropologists and literary scholars. Each volume is supplemented by a substantial introduction, newly written by the editor, Pramod K. Nayar. The collection also includes a detailed appendix providing data on the provenance of the gathered materials.

SA01-460 Methods and Materials of Literary Criticism: An overview.
  Frey, James/ 9781682503522/ Price:US$ 145.00
 
Book Cover Literary criticism is the evaluation, analysis, description, or interpretation of literary works. It is usually in the form of a critical essay, but in-depth book reviews can sometimes be considered literary criticism. Criticism may examine a particular literary work, or may look at an author’s writings as a whole. Finding literary criticism can be challenging. The functions of literary criticism vary widely, ranging from the reviewing of books as they are published to systematic theoretical discussion.
   
SA01-460 English Literary Criticism and Theory.
  Carle, Eoin/ 9781682503591/ Price:US$ 145.00
 
Book Cover English literature is hundreds of years old and continues to be one of the most popular courses of study in high schools and universities around the world. Learn about what defines English literature and a few of its greatest writers. English literature is the study of literature written in the English language. Literary criticism is the study, evaluation, and interpretation of literature. Modern literary criticism is often influenced by literary theory, which is the philosophical discussion of literature’s goals and methods. Though the two activities are closely related, literary critics are not always, and have not always been, theorists. This incredibly useful book offers an introduction to the history of literary criticism and theory from ancient Greece to the present.

  / 9781410339058/ Price:US$ 632.00
 
Book Cover The presence of the supernatural in literature has been used to make social commentary, to establish cultural identity, to explore class or gender roles, and much more. From ghosts to vampires, stories about the supernatural have been passed down through English literature and continue to fascinate modern readers.

Is The Moon The Center Of The Universe?: A Reassessment of Many Things in Humorous Verse
  Sabrina P. Ramet/ 9780998147796/ Price:US$ 24.00
 
Is the Moon the Center of the Universe? is a collection of mostly humorous verse rooted in an appreciation of the absurd and the ridiculous. A few of the verses take their cue from real persons, such as “The secret history of Duncan MacDougall”, who hoped to prove the existence of the soul by weighing dying patients just before and just after death, or “Mad Anthony Wayne”, a verse very loosely based on the life of an officer in the American Revolutionary Army, or again “Church-run brothels”, which actually existed in the 1300s and 1400s. Most of the verses are, however, pure fiction. These range from the play on astronomers’ notion that “The universe is expanding” to suggest that my neighbor’s house is, by that virtue, gradually moving away from mine, to the kleptomaniac in “In the confessional”, who confesses to the priest that he has stolen the church’s altar, to the playful “On Dumpledy-Down”, to the paranoid ravings of “Should I be concerned”, in which the speaker worries about neighbors having plastic surgery so that they can look just like him. A few of the verses in the collection were inspired by news stories, such as the verse “Don’t you be sexing, here in Uganda”. Several of them are set to well-known tunes such as “Deck the halls with boughs of fungus”, “Yo-ho yo, a professor’s life for me”, “Father Christmas and Mr. Holly” (set to the tune of “God rest ye merry gentlemen”), “Dental work in Tijuana” (set to the tune of “White Christmas”), and “Gonna ride the big one soon” (set to the tune of “Dream a little dream of me”). Whether you are wondering if your mother is a virgin or looking for life on golf balls on one of Jupiter’s moons or wanting to catch your neighbor in the act of worshiping your dog, this collection packs in enough hilarious lunacy to send any reader into paroxysms of laughter.

No Barking in the Hallways: Poems from the Classroom
  Ann Bracken/ 9780998147703/ Price:US$ 20.00
 
Book Cover No Barking in the Hallways: Poems from the Classroom, offers readers a window into the stories of teachers and students as they struggle to be successful in our test-obsessed culture. "Frankly, there isn't anyone you couldn't learn to love once you've heard their story.” Those words of the beloved Fred Rogers, star of the long-running PBS children’s show Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood, serve as the catalyst for the narrative poems that detail the author’s experiences as a teacher. The reader will discover some of the emotional baggage that many adolescents carry, baggage that interferes with their ability to focus and to learn in school, and will find out what’s actually happening in today’s public school classrooms. Readers will encounter many people to cheer for and many “reforms” that deserve questioning when they meet the students and teachers of No Barking in the Hallways.
   
Amy's Story: A Novel

Orwell's Nose: A Pathological Biography
  John Sutherland/ 9781780238265/ Price:GBP 10.99
 
Book Cover In 2012 John Sutherland permanently lost his sense of smell. At about the same time he embarked on a re-reading of George Orwell’s works, and his lack of olfactory sense cast an entirely new light on the re-evaluation. What he now noticed was just how acutely attuned to scent Orwell was: rich descriptions of odours, fetors and reeks occur throughout his works, from Winston Smith’s apartment building in Nineteen Eighty-Four: ‘The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats’, to John Flory’s concubine Ma Hla May in Burmese Days: ‘A mingled scent of sandalwood, garlic, coconut oil and the jasmine in her hair floated from her.’ Orwell’s Nose, now available in paperback, is an original and imaginative account of the life and work of George Orwell, exploring the ‘scent narratives’ that abound in Orwell’s fiction and non-fiction. Along the way the author elucidates questions that remain unanswered in previous biographies, and addresses gaps in the evidence of the writer’s life and legacy. This illuminating and irreverent book provides a new understanding of one of our most iconic and influential writers.

Book Cover Sir Ernest Mason Satow (1843-1929) was a legendary British diplomat, a key figure in East Asia and Anglo-Japanese/Chinese relations, particularly in Bakumatsu(1853-1867) and Meiji Era (1868-1912) Japan, and in China after the Boxer Rebellion(1900-1906).

In order to finally claim her voice, she must overcome the patriarchy of the mental health system, challenge her treatment options, and navigate an increasingly difficult relationship with her husband. The poems in The Altar of Innocence come from my heart and from the sincere desire to share my journey in the hopes that others may find courage and inspiration.

The Ideological Transformation of 20th Century Chinese Literature, 2-vols/set.
  Xie Mian/ 9781623201227/ Price:US$ 158.00
 
Book Cover The 20th century was an era of tremendous changes for Chinese society, and these changes shaped the development of Chinese literature as revealed in The Ideological Transformation of 20th Century Chinese Literature. Rulers in the late-Qing dynasty era were subjected to unwilling reforms which saw the abolition of the “eight-legged” essays and the imperial examination as these had notoriously restricted the thinking of the Chinese literati. Shortly after the fall of the Qing, leaders of the New Culture Movement started to promote vernacular literature, stressed the need for a re-examination of the ancient classics, and championed the popularization of Western values. After that, Chinese literature was taken on a completely different trajectory, not only in stylistic terms but also in ideological ones. The Ideological Transformation of 20th Century Chinese Literature is the fruit of poet and critic Xie Mian’s decades-long study of contemporary Chinese literature during his earlier years as a professor at Peking University. Grouped thematically and in accordance with the periods in discussion, this collection of nearly 50 essays provides an integrated examination of the historical backdrop and ideologies that underpinned Chinese literature from the days of the New Culture Movement to the New Era beyond the Cultural Revolution through a mix of microscopic criticisms and macroscopic overviews.

Canons and Connections: A Network Theory Approach to the Study of Literary Systems with Specific Reference to Afrikaans Poetry.
  Senekal, Burgert A./ 9780990447160/ Price:US$ 24.00
 
Book Cover The study of literary systems or fields is a well-established approach, particularly in reference to Afrikaans literature. Of course, agents in social systems make their own decisions, but as a whole, decisions about what is considered ‘literature’ are made within the system itself. No single entity can be responsible for a poet’s position in the center of the network: It is through the combined efforts of all role players that works become central or peripheral in the literary system. This study takes a new look at the literary system from the perspective of network theory. It is shown how the literary network shares important topological features with other complex networks, and at the node level, the book discusses who the key players are in the contemporary Afrikaans poetry network from 2000 to 2012, based on degree-, betweenness-, and closeness centrality. It is also shown how an entity's overall position at the core or on the periphery can be established, and through some examples, the book illustrates how the relationships between poets, critics, scholars, publishing houses, newspapers, websites, journals and magazines all contribute to an entity's overall position in the network. As such, the book aims at a more quantitative analysis of a literary system.

The author has been collecting material on this subject for 25 years. With missionary experience herself and lifelong commitment to the Anglican Church, she has been able to draw on the recollections of older colleagues as well as the detailed travel and domestic reports of the subject and his contemporaries.

VA01-146 U.S. Latino/a Writing, 4-Vols/Set.
  Lee, A. Robert/ 9780415680547/ Price:GBP 1150.00
 
Including the Chicano southwest of California, Texas, Arizona, Colarado, New Mexico, and Nevada, together with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and its Manhattan offshoot, Spanish Harlem, the Cuban America of Florida, as well as the many smaller communities whose origins lie in Central and South America, and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, Hispanic and Latino Americans are now the largest ethnic minority in the United States. Indeed, the USA is now the second largest Spanish-speaking country in the world. As serious scholarly work on and around the literary output of Hispanic and Latino Americans flourishes as never before, this new four-volume collection, co-published by Routledge and Edition Synapse, meets the need for an authoritative reference work to help users navigate and make sense of the subject’s vast literature and the continuing explosion in research output. US Latino/a Writing is edited by A. Robert Lee, former Professor of American Literature at Nihon University, Tokyo, Japan. His expert selection brings together the best and most influential critical assessments, evaluations, and other scholarship in one easy-to-use ‘mini library’. It also includes a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, as well as detailed bibliographies and timelines. It is destined to be valued by researchers and students as an essential work of reference.
   
VA01-145 Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 2-Vols/Set.
  Dawson, Clara/ 9780415507004/ Price:GBP 190.00
 
Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–61) was the foremost female poet of her day, to the extent that in 1850 she was mooted as a serious candidate for the Poet Laureate. With the publication in 2010 of a definitive five-volume edition of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry—the first full scholarly edition in a hundred years—this long-awaited collection on Barrett Browning’s work from Routledge’s acclaimed Critical Heritage series is both timely and desirable. After languishing for most of the twentieth century, critical study of Barrett has flourished over the past thirty years, focusing largely on her importance as both a female—and a political—poet. Particularly after her death in 1861, assessments of Barrett have been bound up with gender politics, and in order to partake fully in this—and other—debates, scholars and students need to be able to consult the key primary materials: the reviews and letters which are currently scattered widely across online databases, archives in Texas and Florence, and in anthologies of letters. This new two-volume set from Routledge brings together a careful selection from the vast number of reviews of Elizabeth Barrett and traces the intersecting issues of Barrett as both a female and a political poet. The collection is organized chronologically, drawing attention to particular trends and changes in Barrett’s reception. As well as her success in Britain, Barrett also became popular in America and Italy, and this Routledge Critical Heritage collection includes sections on her Italian and American reception, including newly translated essays currently available only in Italian.

  / 9781558628663/ Price:US$ 657.00
 
Book Cover The manifesto has taken its place as one of history's greatest artifacts, inspiring and worrying entire populations as political tools, defining and describing many important literary movements, and bringing insight into the beliefs and intentions of some of the 20th Century's most disturbing criminal minds.

GA01-201 The Literature of Propaganda, 3-Vols/Set.
  / 9781558628588/ Price:US$ 657.00
 
Book Cover Throughout history, propaganda has been used in one form another to influence the public opinion for or against one cause or another. From early theater, to public speeches, to magazines, books, film and more, propaganda pervades our society. Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines propaganda as "2: the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person 3: ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause; also: a public action having such an effect." How is propaganda described in literature? How is it used to influence our views? How do we recognize a work as propaganda? Literature Of Propaganda showcases propaganda portrayed in literature: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. It also features literature that was specifically created as propaganda or used in that way: The Moon is Down by John Steinbeck, and The Leopard's Spots; The Clansman; The Traitor by Thomas Dixon. Finally, it explores works that deliver a vision as described by an influential leader: Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler, Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung by Mao Tse-Tung, The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
   
GA01-200 The Literature of Autobiographical Narrative, 3-Vols/Set.
  / 9781558628700/ Price:US$ 657.00
 
Book Cover Every one of us is a witness to history. The times we live in will be studied and analyzed by future generations, just as we currently study and analyze the past. Autobiographies, oral histories, diaries and journals are records of the human experience, snapshots of a time and place that are brought to life in our consciousness through words on a page. In reading these works, we bear witness to and come to better understand the societies, cultures, and experiences of the past directly from the people who lived during those periods. Gale's Literature Of Society Series, The Literature Of Autobiographical Narrative is a three volume set examining works that chronicle a life or are compiled from narrated memories. This helps us understand history more from a personal, rather than historical, level. Three hundred engaging entries focuses on autobiographies, diaries, journals and oral histories from around the world and various time periods to bring us closer to the human experience of history. Some entries look at those who carry on the tradition of oral history, such the West African Griot, Scandinavian Skald, British and Gaelic bards, Native American storytellers, and more.
   
DC Undercover.
  Bartoli, Oscar/ 9780986021688/ Price:US$ 22.00
 
The world’s economy is faced with a momentous change in direction: the need to reduce, and then abandon, its reliance on fossil fuel energy and adopt alternative sources without resorting to nuclear power. Against this backdrop, the interests of two opposing geopolitical agendas engage in both legal and criminal activities to gain the upper hand. This face-off involves the President of the United States as he is personally committed to transparent, but risky, support of renewable energy technology. The end goal is the overthrow of a century long oil-based culture.
   
In Black Bear Country.
  Waters, Maureen/ 9780988637603/ Price:US$ 20.00
 
In this book of poems the bears are intended to suggest unpredictability, the mysterious and dangerous aspects of experience as well as the possibility of love. The poems are rooted in a changing landscape ranging from the Hudson River Valley to Manhattan, and further back in time, to the West coast of Ireland, from which the writer’s parents emigrated. Arriving in New York in the twenties, they brought memories of famine and civil war as well as strong cultural values. The writer is haunted by their sense of another world, particularly after the death of her son. The poems attempt to work out a reconciliation between radically different perspectives, knowing there is no satisfactory way of doing so. Yet, Seamus Heaney has observed, “As long as the coordinates of the imagined thing correspond to those of the world that we live in and endure, poetry is fulfilling its counterweighting function. It becomes another truth to which we have recourse, before which we can know ourselves in a more fully empowered way.”
   
Lost Masterpieces of Euro-American Drama: Ten Plays.
  Cardullo, Bert/ 9780988637610/ Price:US$ 34.00
 
Much has been made of the gains of the multicultural reconstruction of the canon of world drama, but what about the works that have been abandoned to make room for the new ones? Lost Masterpieces of Euro-American Drama brings together ten plays that have been dropped from the major anthologies of world drama over the past twenty years, in order to examine the consequences of the new canonization for our understanding of the development of dramatic form. Those plays are Goldoni’s The Servant of Two Masters (1743), Musset’s No Trifling with Love (1834), Gogol’s The Inspector General (1836), Hebbel’s Maria Magdalene (1844), Tolstoy’s The Power of Darkness (1886), Yeats’s The Countess Cathleen (1892), Wedekind’s Earth Spirit (1895), C(apek’s R.U.R. (1920), Hecht and MacArthur’s The Front Page (1928), and Sartre’s No Exit (1944).
   
The Swallows of Monte Cassino.
  Janeczek, Helena/ 9780989916905/ Price:US$ 26.00
 
The four month long battle at Monte Cassino in southern Italy was one of the bloodiest of World War II. In this highly original novel, Janeczek retells that 1944 battle from the point of view of the Maori, Gurkha, Polish, North African, small-town American and other Allied foot soldiers who fought and died under German fire near that 6th century Benedictine abbey. Twined through the battle is another story, a memory of the drowned and the saved in Janeczek’s own family in wartime Eastern Europe, where Jews who did not go to Nazi death camps went to Soviet gulag camps, and sometimes survived, and even went on to fight at Monte Cassino. A powerful reflection on all the ways that rights can be taken from us.
   
Make Marzipan, Not War: Crazy Rhymes for Crazy Times.
  Ramet, Sabrina P./ 9780988637672/ Price:US$ 24.00
 
Think of this as a course catalogue, with courses arranged into departments. If you are going to enroll in this university, you should consider what interests you before picking your major, since you might be disappointed if you were to pick a major which is not interesting for you. So, if your interest is extraterrestrials, then majoring in astronomy should be your choice. Or, to take another example, if you want to be a TSA official at an airport, then majoring in home economics and transportation would be a better choice. If you are not sure what you find interesting, then we suggest that you major in literature and linguistics, since you will find everything reflected there. Looking to the future, be sure to check out our placement service, which guarantees to find you a position upon graduation. And finally, in our department of archeology, a few old artifacts are dug up from Pets of the Great Dictators and other works (2006; 2nd ed. 2008), and from Cheese Pirates: Humorous verse for adult children (2011). In closing, as the great French mathematician and philosopher Rene' Descartes once noted, if you really want to live, first think about it.
   
VA01-142 Asian American Literature, 4-Vols/Set.
  Li, David Leiwei/ 9780415498876/ Price:GBP 1050.00
 
The collection is organized into four volumes. The first volume ('Literary History: Criticism and Theory') brings together the best work to define, explicitly or implicitly, the parameters of Asian-American literature. It addresses its political and aesthetic significance and major issues of contention. Volume II ('Prose: Fiction and Non-Fiction') brings together the best interpretive work and practical criticism on key works of Asian-American literature, both fictive and factual. Volume III ('Poetry') assembles the essential scholarship on Asian-American poetry, while the final volume in the collection ('Drama and Performance') collects the vital research on theatrical texts and performance pieces.
   
VA01-138 James Joyce, 4-Vols/Set.
  Milton, Colin/ 9780415491822/ Price:GBP 975.00
 
Book Cover James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (1882–1941) is a towering figure in the development of English-language modernist prose fiction. And his influence extends well beyond the anglophone literary world; like his alter ego, Stephen Dedalus, Joyce flew by the nets of nationality, language, and religion, and spent most of his life in continental Europe. Fully indexed and with a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, James Joyce is an essential reference work and is destined to be valued as a vital research resource.

SA01-428 Charles Bukowski.
  Calonne, David S./ 9781780230238/ Price:GBP 11.99
 
Bukowski was born in Germany and raised in the United States, a schism that Calonne shows to be crucial in the writer’s development. From the influence of Germany’s literary and intellectual traditions to the writer’s traumatic childhood, this book explores the effect the writer’s hybrid identity had on the themes and content of his work. Exploring several unknown works of fiction and poetry created in the early years of his career, the many volumes of poetry published with Black Sparrow Press, major works of fiction like Post Office and Factotum, as well as feature films such as the Mickey Rourke-starring Barfly, Calonne catalogues and dissects the many versions of Bukowski created by the writer and his followers. A concise yet comprehensive new account, Charles Bukowski will interest the wide audience already familiar with this prolific, influential figure, as well as being an invaluable introduction to those new to Bukowski’s work and who wish to know more.

VA01-141 Native American Writing, 4-Vols/Set.
  Lee, A. Robert/ 9780415588959/ Price:GBP 1150.00
 
As research on and around the literary output of Native Americans flourishes as never before, this new four-volume collection, co-published by Routledge and Edition Synapse, meets the need for an authoritative reference work to help users answer these and other questions, and generally to make sense of the subject's vast literature and a continuing explosion in research output. Native American Writing is edited by a leading expert in Native and multicultural writing, A. Robert Lee, Professor of American Literature at Nihon University, Tokyo. His eagerly awaited collection is a wide-ranging compendium which brings together hard-to-find original works by Native writers themselves, as well as critical and learned analyses of their creative productions. Volume I opens with a sequence of Native American overviews ('Momaday to Louis Owen'), followed by the most important critical theory dealing with ideology and custodianship. The volume also considers key notions such as the idea of the spoken inside the written word. Volume II looks first to accounts of Native autobiography, from the Pequot William Apess onwards, and also explores early modern writing, from the Paiute-raised Sarah Winnemucca and Creek poet and satirist, Alex Posey, to the Sioux Luther Standing Bear. Volume III focuses on modern Native fiction. The final volume in the collection addresses Native poetry and drama and First Nations authorship. Native American Writing includes a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, as well as detailed bibliographies, timelines, and lists of tribal groupings. It is an essential work of reference, destined to be especially valued by those with an interest in how indigenous writers have given literary imagination to their history in North America, Canada, and beyond.
   
VA01-131 Ernest Hemingway, 4-Vols/Set.
  Claridge, Henry/ 9780415491204/ Price:GBP 950.00
 
Few twentieth-century American writers have been as influential as Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961). Whilst contemporaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner may be as widely taught and studied as Hemingway, neither had an influence on other writers-or indeed, the cognate arts-as great as that of Hemingway. For example, the 'hard-boiled' school of detective fiction extending from the novels of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett to those of James Ellroy and Robert Parker is more or less inconceivable without Hemingway's stylistic influence. Arguably, film noir is also Hemingwayesque in its laconic detachment. And quite independently of his creative writings, Hemingway's life continues to exert a profound fascination for both student and the general reader. Hemingway was the subject of extensive enquiry before his death and since then he has generated interpretative and critical commentary on a vast and bewildering scale, in part aided by the continuing publication of works left unpublished at his death (most notably The Garden of Eden in 1987). The dizzying quantity (and variable quality) of Hemingway criticism makes it difficult to discriminate the useful from the tendentious, superficial, and otiose. That is why this new Routledge title is so urgently needed. In four volumes, the collection meets the need for an authoritative reference work to allow researchers and students to make sense of a vast literature and the continuing explosion in research output. Users will now be able easily and rapidly to locate the best and most influential critical scholarship, work that is otherwise often inaccessible or scattered throughout a variety of specialist journals and books. With material gathered into one easy-to-use set, researchers and students can now spend more of their time with the key journal articles, book chapters, and other pieces, rather than on time-consuming (and sometimes fruitless) archival searches.

Boon felt easier far away in the solitude and obscurity of his secluded spot. Withdrawal into himself was what he had learned from living with the lurching, unpredictable behaviour of his drunken father and he preferred the certainty of solitude to the dangers of engagement. This life without a mother was all Boon knew and the sudden death of his grandfather had left him bereft of the one warm relationship that he could remember. But one day Boon's life changes when, on the way home from school, he stops to look at an odd collection of objects on display in the window of old man Garner's house. Strangely drawn towards a figurine of a snail he spots amid the objects he is compelled to enter the house. There Boon learns of the lasting friendship shared between Mr. Garner and his grandfather and is unexpectedly presented with a small wooden box filled with a collection of objects, a legacy left to him by his grandfather. Amidst the collection of objects is the snail figurine. That night, as he is falling asleep, Boon hears a voice and discovers that the snail figurine has come to life and is calling to him. The snail guides Boon through the extraordinary land of Momenssia where he finds himself on a fantastic and confusing journey into memory, wishes and fears. Chaotically transported in and out of thoughts, Boon soon discovers that a world of friendship and the formation of some very special moments await him - if he is able to open himself to the value of being.

Little Cicero.
  Schwartz, Duane/ 9780984634859/ Price:US$ 17.99
 
Take a police chief who has never before served in law enforcement, push a reluctant but more convenient than qualified doctor into the job of coroner, insert a mayor in his first few weeks holding any office, and show them a water filled mine pit with bodies dressed in costumes of the roaring twenties popping to its surface, and what you get is a fiasco of epic proportions. Add to that a ninety-six-year-old former Catholic nun who knows the story but will only dish it out in portions to a team of amateurs who are unsure she will live to tell, and an eccentric mining company employee who has everything to lose should the truth be told, and you have what should be the unsolvable crime. True enough for most, but this team of no-nothings will surprise. And their journey to the bottom of the truth is the journey found within the pages of Little Cicero. Little Cicero is the nickname given a small town on Minnesota's picturesque Mesabi Iron Range for its similarity to the Cicero, Illinois of Capone days, the streets of both having been honeycombed with tunnels for ease of travel from speakeasy to speakeasy during prohibition. The story surrounding the town explores the happenings of an earlier time through the ongoing investigation of an old woman who lived it, and the relationship that develops between her and the novice police chief as she relives those early memories reveals two things: the new chief is capable of getting to the truth, and his inexperience hinders him from taking action, even when that truth might involve murder.

The Gingrich family did not become the Gingrich family until aboard ship and only a couple days away from anchoring off New York’s Ellis Island. Frederic Gingrich chose the young Marie, widowed on the long journey to a new life in America, out of necessity and she agreed out of desperation.

The Winds of Change chronicles this family’s early days in their new homeland in epic fashion, beginning with the birth of Marie’s baby in the Harbor before disembarkation and following them on to a new home almost a year later in the wilds of Northern Minnesota where their futures seem to be carried on the winds of change.

Seven different seniors, each ensnared in the harsh difficulties of their historical periods which range from ancient Rome to contemporary America, dramatically show a common link of values that bolster them with courage and dignity as they struggle to not only survive but prevail over their terrible problems. Each senior is faced with a life-altering decision with their dilemmas involving beheadings and a confusion of loyalties in Parthia, Rome’s great rival; suffering the cruelty of the Inquisition in medieval Germany; escaping the clutches of Napoleonic intrigue as a reluctant “spy”; venturing on the dangerous journey west to California through Indian territory on a prairie schooner; the irony of elder abuse reversed; and an odd campaign of public service featuring “senior commandos.” The stories of their tribulations and triumphs graphically show the strength and durability of the human spirit that defies age as well as time and geography.
   
Telegram: A Wartime Novel About Peace.
  Hoffmann, L. D./ 9780984643950/ Price:US$ 18.99
 
It's 1944. Sauli Berglund watches from the edge of his property as ninety-six German POWs arrive at a work camp on Big Bear Lake. These young German soldiers, so full of life, so healthy, so very safe. And they would remain so. He watched them dodge no bullets. He watched them wipe no blood from their hands. He watched the tears they wouldn't shed for the friends who wouldn't die in their arms. Here, they were an ocean away from the battle. Here, they ate hot food every day. Here, they enjoyed their lives in the very place Sauli had raised his children. His mind sees a little boy, Ronnie, laughing, jumping off the dock into the cool water. "Ronald Berglund, Lieutenant, U.S.Navy," the telegram had read. "Missing in action." A father protects his children; that's what a father does. He wraps his powerful arms around them and pulls them against his chest where they're safe. And as long as they are safe, so is he. But when they're not? Three more telegrams will find the Berglund family before the war is over, but Sauli doesn't know that yet. Nor does he know that Anni, his fiery daughter, will fall in love with a German POW or that someone close to the Berglunds will fan the flames of intolerance that threaten to engulf the community and harm Sauli's family. What Sauli does know is that on the home front, in the Suomi Hills, there are no lengths to which he will not go to protect his family. Wars are not always fought on the battlefield; the combatants are not always soldiers. And telegrams are not always bad news.

Wapasha and the Rabbi.
  Selden, Howard S./ 9780984619597/ Price:US$ 17.95
 
This contemporary story, Wapasha and the Rabbi, mirrors the lives of a small group, while reflecting on the universal power of the past to influence human lives. This is poignantly revealed not only in the stories told by the two protagonists, but also in the stories told by some of the young people who share their lives with Rabbi Isak Cohen on an isolated farm in the back country of Texas. Wapasha-a full-blooded American Indian and the last Shaman of a dwindling Karankawan tribe-gained a medical school education and is a practicing country doctor. The encounter of the Rabbi and Wapasha stunningly uncovers their compatible religious heritage, albeit from diametrically polar backgrounds. The Rabbi is a product of a European Jewish youth, while Wapasha's Jewish faith was brought to the New World centuries earlier by a young Jew who had fled the Spanish Inquisition (as told in Selden's first book of the series, The Shaman and the Jew). The supportive relationship that evolves between the Rabbi (a Holocaust survivor) and Wapasha (a Vietnam War veteran) is central to the tale. Though the cause of their post-traumatic anguish is different, they recognize that their lingering and distressing emotional responses are the same.

Ezra Pound
  Marsh, Alec/ 9781861898623/ Price:GBP 11.99
 
Ezra Pound’s co-poet Basil Bunting wrote of The Cantos: ‘There are the Alps, / fools! Sit down and wait for them to crumble!’ Ezra Pound tells the story of one of the most controversial poets of the twentieth century. Great poet, Confucian, peace activist, alleged fascist, indicted traitor, Ezra Pound’s life raises vital questions for anyone interested in politics, art and poetry. Probably no-one has promoted so many other great writers as Pound – James Joyce, T. S. Eliot and Ford Madox Ford among them – and without Pound’s generosity to colleagues, literary modernism arguably might not have happened. Yet by 1925 Pound was living in obscurity in Italy, having trouble publishing his work. There he became a Mussolini enthusiast and a believer in a malevolent Jewish/Communist conspiracy. As the global economic crisis worsened through the 1930s, Pound used The Cantos, his monumental magnum opus, to historicize the causes of the world crisis and to suggest a cure, agitating obsessively for a ‘new economics’ to prevent another World War. Indicted for treason by the US, after the war Pound was judged incompetent to stand trial and remanded to a Federal mental hospital where he remained until 1958, still furiously active on the American right.

GA01-197 Diary and Letters of Dr. Hu Shih, The.
  Peking University Library/ 9789814272247/ Price:US$ 300.00
 
Book Cover The Diary and Letters of Dr. Hu Shih (Peking University Library Collection) contains Hu Shih’s diary from his Chengzhong School days, an incomplete diary entry of Hsu Chi-Mo (Xu Zhimo) copied by Hu Shih, 116 Chinese letters, and 141 English letters. Among these, Hu Shih’s diary at Chengzhong School is his earliest one discovered so far, dating back to 1906, a time when he started to receive modern education and encounter modern thoughts. Considering that most of Hu Shih’s letters have already been published, the letters included in this book are even more valuable. Apart from the letters written by Hu Shih and his family members, this book also includes letters written by famous scholars and important figures at that time, such as Jiang Menglin and Fu Sinian. The English letters were mostly from the years when he was ambassador to the United States, which, from another angle, tell us something about his communication with western scholars and his strenuous effort to support China’s war against Japan. Benefits: *Contains rare letters and diary by Hu Shih, never before published. *Each document is presented in facsimile, with English captions. *Hu’s English letters during his US ambassadorship (1938–1942) offer important insights into the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II. *The early diary gives a window on the world of Hu’s formative years. *Hu’s correspondences regarding Chang Shi Ji offer new material for the study of his significant contribution to modern Chinese poetry. *Contains many correspondences with important figures and scholars of the time.

Icily applauding every conflict between bone-deep isms, Death inexorably beckons from a front-row seat. Someone's killing jockeys and scaring hell out of the rest of them. "Retired" FBI operative "Jace" Maxwell pondered a possible nationwide connection between the deaths of several topnotch jockeys. Then, Enrique Mendoza's horrifically mutilated corpse is pulled from a reservoir in the Midwestern town of Mercury. Instinctively, the local police force's lone detective, Lt. Bob Huber, brims with vengeful territorialism. Even so, he quickly realizes that his department is ill-equiped to skillfully investigate the heinous nature of this seemingly lead-free crime and gladly accepts Maxwell's offer of help. Blending into the barn area at Mercury Downs as a stable groom and hot-walker, Maxwell discovers that Mendoza's murder is likely linked to the only winning ticket for a $1.72-million Twin-Trifecta payoff. Assuming that Mendoza's murderer also is responsible for other jockeys' deaths, Maxwell and Huber profile a psychological trap to lure the remorseless killer back into the Mercury area. The trouble is, their plan must involve a gallery of track-side women and men whose contributions are vital, but which could involve a fate as maliciously Mendoza's. Unbeknownst to anyone, Richard Pierce, known as The Talon, had decided that the "Mendoza job" would be his last. Yet, antagonized by internal perfection and uncompromising self-esteem, he wrestles with returning to Mercury to put his indelible stamp of fear on those who seem bent upon defying his previous message. Evisioning this to be but a brief detour before vanishing forever, The Talon cunningly presumes that he can be more open and reckless than ever before.

"Who am I?" "Where am I?" "Why am I here?" With these questions Calum roused himself, touching his bloody head that had no memory of his whereabouts. "Is That Me?" He asked himself, seeing his reflection in the water of the clear, clean pond. Bemused, he found himself in front of a large door that lured him into entering. Unable to resist that impulse, Calum found himself drawn deeper into the mysterious cavern, where he received a most startling charge: "We have searched for you, Calum; searched for someone who has the ability. You must save GAIA from the evil that comes for her." Thus begins the saga of GAIA, as Calum, a young lad, is designated to be the savior of this unknown planet. The only positive is that he will have the aid of a series of dubious gods with varied mystical powers, in addition to a young race of GAIAns that may or may not be of help. Would that be enough? And who is the enemy that had gods of their own?
   
The Annunaki Enigma: Armageddon 2012.
  McCollough, E. G./ 9780984514274/ Price:US$ 22.95
 
Much has been written lately about a prophetic period in the future of our planet that is being referred to as "End Times". It is predicted to run collaterally with the formation of a one world government or what some may call a "One World Order", and climax with a great war in Israel over a mound known as 'har Megiddo' where the forces of good and evil clash in a battle that will end in the forces of evil being stopped and the leader, Satan, being thrown into an abyss for a thousand years. Current geopolitical events are seemingly moving in such a pattern. Are these Biblical prophecies actually about to take place? Have leaders in our past believed the Bible's predictions and actually prepared for such a global disaster. The Annunaki Enigma: Armageddon 2012 looks at current events and the attitudes of today's leaders and sees a parallel with the prognostications of the early writers of the Bible. If this comes true, how will our Creator respond? Will He join forces with those on Earth to defeat such an enemy? Has He already set up a scenario for the defense of His creations at some point earlier in our history?

Three boys, each with circumstances that labeled them outcasts, join at a young age to stand against the injustice of an insufferable childhood.

Another, Tony Copeletti is forced far from his home to live with a gangster uncle. The third, Henry Tyler, along with his entire family, is relocated because it was felt that the Tylers could not be trusted to keep hidden the identity of the true criminal, a high ranking politician. Later life brings payback. After years in reform school, Arthur Fetchenko is handed proof of his innocence through evidence strong enough to devastate the political party who harbored the criminal and laid the blame on him in the first place. And along with that evidence, came options. Should he see to it that justice is finally served? Or should he use the information to benefit himself, a blackmail of sorts. He chooses the latter. And once again, the threesome is reunited and off on an adventure of which the final outcome can only be summed up by the words, "To the victors go the spoils". Their goal is to take over the political machine of the day from the inside. Success comes in the end, but it comes at a high cost. Vengeance may drive their story, but along the path noble intentions prevail, love abides, action and adventure abound, and an age old feud is fought to the death.
   
The Beloved: Book One.
  Yosef,M. H./ 9780984514205/ Price:US$ 19.95
 
He was by far, the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this earth. He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid down a moral code, initiated numerous social and political reforms, established a powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent his teachings and completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought and behavior for all times to come. Muhammad, peace be unto him, was born in what was then known as Felix Arabia, fourteen hundred years ago. He started his mission of preaching a religion of monotheism; a Way of Life based on the surrender, submission and obedience to the Commandments of Almighty God, in sincerity and peace. Muhammad's (peace be unto him) mission began at the age of forty and departed from this world at the age of sixty-three. During this short period of 23 years of his prophet-hood, he changed the complete Arabian Peninsula from paganism and idolatry to worship of One God, from tribal quarrels and wars to national solidarity and cohesion, from drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety, from lawlessness and anarchy to disciplined living, from utter bankruptcy to the highest standards of moral excellence.

VA01-126 Roland Barthes, 4-Vols/Set.
  Badmington, Neil/ 9780415472579/ Price:GBP 280.00
 
Thirty years ago the English-speaking world was discovering the work of some of the key poststructuralist theorists for the first time: Jacques Derrida’s Of Grammatology had just appeared in translation, as had Roland Barthes’ S/Z, Jacques Lacan’s Ecrits, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s Anti-Oedipus, Michel Foucault’s Discipline and Punish, and Pierre Macherey’s A Theory of Literary Production. English editions of Julia Kristeva’s Desire in Language and Jean-Francois Lyotard’s The Postmodern Condition were just around the corner. The subsequent ‘theory wars’ that raged on campuses in the 1980s are now generally seen as a thing of the past: poststructuralism is now, largely, a familiar and widely taught part of the academic landscape in the English-speaking world. Of all the poststructuralists, Roland Barthes (1915–80) is probably the most widely read. Mythologies has sold hundreds of thousands of copies in paperback and has never been out of print since it first appeared in English in 1972. And ‘The Death of the Author’, his short essay dating from 1968, is probably the most widely anthologized theoretical text of all. Moreover, even though he died over a quarter of a century ago, Barthes remains especially ‘alive’ to English-speaking audiences in that his voluminous writings are still being translated into English. Reflecting the vibrancy and dynamism of Barthes Studies, this four-volume collection, a new title in Routledge’s Critical Evaluations in Cultural Theory series, brings together the best and most influential cutting-edge and canonical research on Roland Barthes. The gathered materials address the full range of Barthes’ extremely diverse output to provide the definitive evaluation of his work.

QUANTUM WOMAN--CELESTIAL MAN explores the issues relating to love, identity and belief, and Kamelia’s electrifying book gathers a range of characters around the concept of a journey with potentially wide-reaching implications.

Discovering the fouth dimension, third eye and higher awareness through love and sexuality becomes a possibility of every human being. As the feelings of two main characters grow for each other, Celestial Man takes Quantum Woman to the parallel universes in near future, deep past in Tibet and then into the deep future where she learns the languages, magic, and science of the future. She visits the frozen town Shambala deeply lost in the peoples memories. The road is painful and difficult but full of challenges and those who believe and disbelieve in the new horizons. The spectacular goal is the lost harmony between male and female on the earth and discovering it with knowledge and love. You will be mesmerized, spell-bound as Quantum Woman seeks to become a partner of Celestial Man and gain her immortality.

Calumet.
  Schwartz, Duane/ 9780984134298/ Price:US$ 18.95
 
Klan vs Lawman. Company thugs vs union organizers. Miner vs miner. Citizen vs citizen. At stake is not only the working condi-tions in the ore mines, but also the town of Calumet, the sticking point to the Klan as the hooded miscreants attempt to control the entire territory. Calumet must fall. So long as the citizens of Calumet hold out against the Klan mak-ing inroads in its government, the rest of the territory can breathe easier. All of the neighboring towns and villages collectively hold their breath, while in Calumet a handful of irate citizens join with a U.S. Marshal as well as unexpected, but most welcome, aid from the outside. The only thing is, has the aid come too late to stop the Klan’s inevitable march toward total control. After all, the Klan will stop at nothing: murder, rape, assassinations, kidnappings; anything to wrest control of the town’s government from the citi-zens. But, all is not as it seems. Buried somewhere in the body of helpful newcomers is a traitor, an unsuspected member of the Klan.

A Dental Odyssey: unlikely musings of a dentist.
  Selden, Howard S./ 9780984134274/ Price:US$ 19.99
 
The author's recollections are a rare look inside Dentistry, within a meaningful and entertaining historic framework. The level of detail is unstinting and refreshing, providing health consumers with satisfying nuggets of solid information. Selden's message is clear: valuable benefits accrue when the patient becomes an informed partner with the Doctor, especially in interpreting symptoms. Within a towering Rocky Mountain ski resort, we are drawn into the arcane world of dental decay, from its cause to its epidemic levels during the Middle Ages--along with the Bubonic plague, dental infections defined those tragic European years. The fascinating history of acupuncture, and its introduction to American Medicine and Dentistry is detailed and exciting. Selden highlights this section by telling how he amazingly stops a patient's agonizing toothache with his first use of acupuncture. The inner world of root canal therapy, seen through an operating microscope, provides clarity and understanding. The very moving account of Selden's failure to successfully treat an important tooth for a patient, leads to her consoling him; a rare reversal of roles. Reaching back to Dental School days, we hear how the confrontation with cadavers, along with their noxious odors, challenges the determination of some to follow this career. Truly, an uplifting and enlightning Dental Odyssey.

SA01-382 Truffles' Diaries: Memoirs and Mewsings of a Fat Tabby Cat.
  Collins, Sheila/ 9781906358556/ Price:GBP 9.99
 
Truffles is no ordinary cat - in fact she would claim that she is very special indeed, and who would dare to argue with her? Her nineteen plus years of observing human behaviour, often mystifying and comical, have equipped her with all the wisdom and cunning necessary to use the human environment and its two-legged inhabitants to her best advantage and, as is the ambition of all cats, she has learnt how to make her existence as comfortable as possible. In this diary Truffles allows us to take a very privileged peek through her discerning eyes as she describes her thoughts and day-to-day activities (or lack of them!) Written in three weekly parts, the first from when she approaches her milestone sixteenth birthday followed up by catch-ups over the next two years, Truffles also recounts an assortment of amusing, true anecdotes from her past involving her feline and canine pals, but with the last laughs most often being on the hapless humans. What is quite clear is that twenty-first century cats are a far superior species in terms of getting what they want, when they want and with the minimum amount of effort, and the very humanised Truffles is no exception. She has her human carers well trained to carry out their expected feline-orientated duties to her exacting standards, is always one step ahead of them and knows exactly which buttons to press to get the desired effect ... which only goes to prove that it is a cat's life after all!

Jean Cocteau.
  Williams, James S./ 9781861893543/ Price:GBP 11.99
 
From the magical Beauty and the Beast to the surreal Orpheus films, Jean Cocteau is renowned as a leading figure in European cinema as well as a creative force collaborating with artists as diverse as Picasso, Diaghilev and Edith Piaf. Yet Cocteau’s work and life have rarely been examined together. Evaluating Cocteau’s career and his fascinating personal life on equal terms, James S. Williams offers here a groundbreaking analysis that sets them both within highly revealing historical and artistic contexts. James S. Williams’s biographical investigation of this poet, dramatist, novelist, designer, and filmmaker centres around Cocteau’s constant self-questioning and how it permeated his work. From Cocteau’s work in fashion and photography to his formal experimentation, to his extensive collaborations with male friends and lovers, the book charts the complex and unpredictable evolution of his work and aesthetic. Williams argues that Cocteau’s body of work is best viewed as an ethical, erotic project of aesthetics that carries important ramifications for our contemporary understanding of being and subjectivity.
   
Charles Baudelaire.
  Lloyd, Rosemary/ 9781861893635/ Price:GBP 11.99
 
Born in Paris, Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) was a hugely influential poet, art critic and translator whose reputation has only increased in the twentieth century. Throughout his life Baudelaire was fascinated by both language, which he manipulated with consummate and innovative skill, and by the visual, commenting forcefully on the art of his time. This book brings together Baudelaire's life and his creative and critical writing, showing how closely interlinked they were, and how much his experience of daily life and the world around him was distilled and transformed in his work. Living through the high point and the decline of Romanticism, as well as the beginnings of realism and symbolism, Baudelaire was a witness to turbulent political events, such as the February 1848 revolution, that transformed the city of Paris both socially and physically. These events offer a crucial background to Baudelaire's life and work, as do the many friends and acquaintances who have left written traces of their relationship with him. The book also relates Baudelaire's personal battles with syphilis, and the morality of the time, and his role as a translator – his translations of Edgar Allan Poe were highly popular and introduced Poe's work to a French audience.

Did Grace come to her realization in time to win the love of her life, or is she doomed to watch as he weds another? And if he does wed another, will Grace be content to become 'The Other Woman', or will she--can she--just walk away?"

VA01-115 Modern Drama, 4-Vols/Set.
  Puchner, Martin/ 9780415386609/ Price:GBP 280.00
 
What is generally referred to as modern drama was an international development or movement centred in Europe and North America, a movement directed against many of the conventions and institutions of nineteenth-century drama and theatre. Between 1880 and 1960, a number of foundational figures broke with inherited dramatic conventions, instituted new forms of drama, and created different venues for performance. George Bernard Shaw and William Archer in England, Henrik Ibsen in Norway, August Strindberg in Sweden, Maurice Maeterlinck and Alfred Jarry in France, Gerhard Hauptmann in Germany, Luigi Pirandello in Italy, Federico Garcia Lorca in Spain, Eugene O’Neill and Gertrude Stein in the United States, and Anton Chekhov in Russia share, despite their considerable differences, a project of rupturing with the old and a belief in the new. Even though each national drama tradition can boast such a foundational figure, modern drama was at the same time an international movement. New plays quickly circulated through translation and new production techniques through touring companies and extended visits, establishing an international standard for modernism in drama. The four volumes that make up this new Routledge Major Work span the historical emergence and the continuing impact of modern drama on critical thought. By focusing on the origins of modern drama as well as on the narrative of its development, the collection is uniquely positioned to relate this historical period to current critical traditions. In terms of organization, the Major Work takes stock of the various critical traditions that have developed since the 1960s and that have fundamentally transformed our understanding of modernist drama and theatre even as these traditions have continued to draw on the original impulses of modern dramatists. It is an essential reference work destined to be valued as a vital research resource by all scholars and students of the subject.
   
VA01-113 Dryden-Tonson Miscellanies, 1684-1709, The., 6-Vols/Set.
  Hopkins, David/ 9780415375771/ Price:GBP 1100.00
 
Today, the miscellanies provide crucial insight into the development of English poetry at the beginning of the Long Eighteenth Century. Early volumes print work by such poets as Sir Charles Sedley, Rochester, Aphra Behn, and Thomas Rymer. The middle volumes see the emergence of a new generation of younger writers, many of them proteges of Dryden, including Joseph Addison, William Congreve, and Matthew Prior. The final volumes include some of the earliest work of Alexander Pope, Nicholas Rowe, and Jonathan Swift. The miscellanies represent a wide spectrum of political affiliations, and include work by, and addressed to, women. The Tonson miscellanies thus provide a unique decade-by-decade record of the complex transition between the ‘Restoration’ and ‘Augustan’ (or more neutrally seventeenth to eighteenth-century) phases of English literary culture.

It also wants Martin Welliver, the World Trade Center survivor he'd dragged from a car in the river not long before. Welliver, in an unfortunate twist of fate, bought the house hoping to find peace and quiet from a violent and uncaring world only to act as a conduit to revive the evil waiting for someone like him to give it life.

Chagford is a man riddled with personal demons. With his growing thirst for alcohol, increasing dependence on pain killers and bouts of crippling depression, could it be that it’s all just the terrifying sum of his crumbling mind? And why can he not get it out of his mind?

Love and Samsara
  Rodrigues, Eusebio, L./ 9780979448812/ Price:US$ 48.00
 
Love and Samsara is a novel set in 16th-century India, blending history, adventure, love, and spirituality on the background of the arrival of the Portuguese, which caused a clash of civilizations. Love and Samsara is an epic diorama of the world in the early 16th century, stretching from Europe to Asia, taking in Brazil, Africa, the Middle East, India, and then the lands below the wind, the monsoon countries of South East Asia. The hero, a renowned Arab ship pilot, hunted down for eloping with a Iain girl, escapes from their assassins by guiding Vasco da Gama and the Portuguese ships to Calicut, the major emporium of the spice trade. Only later does he realize the tremendous significance of his innocent betrayal, for it leads to the Portuguese imperial domination of the oceansea. This marks a turning point in history, a time when the modern world becomes inexorably linked with power-gunpowder for cannon, printing for the spread of knowledge, and astronomy for a new understanding of the heavens. A time also of significant encounter among the world's major religions, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, with their complex languages, philosophies and theologies. Here is a samsara crowded with adventure, history, tragic love, philosophical speculation, religious confrontation, suspense and mystery, that reaches its climax in 1510 with the Portuguese conquest of Goa.

Georges Bataille.
  Kendall, Stuart/ 9781861893277/ Price:GBP 11.99
 
Georges Bataille was arguably the greatest influence on the post-structuralist revolution in twentieth-century thought and literature, yet few truly understand his large body of work or its impact. Stuart Kendall now translates the work and life of the renowned French writer into a concise yet informative biography that reveals fascinating facets of this intellectual giant. Until his death in 1962, Bataille was an instrumental force in philosophical debate, acting as a foil for both Surrealism and Existentialism and advocating radical views that spanned the entire spectrum of political thought. Stuart Kendall chronicles these aspects of his intellectual development, as well as tracing his pivotal role in the creation of journals such as Documents and Acephale, and how his writings in aesthetics and art history were the pioneering cornerstones of visual culture studies. Kendall positions Bataille at the heart of a prodigious community of thinkers, including Andre Breton, Michel Leiris, Jean-Paul Sartre, Alexandre Kojeve, Jacques Lacan and Maurice Blanchot, among many others.
   
Walter Benjamin.
  Leslie, Esther/ 9781861893437/ Price:GBP 11.99
 
Walter Benjamin, critic, essayist, translator, philosopher – one of the twentieth century’s most influential intellectuals – continues to intrigue today. His work stimulates a profusion of responses in the form of new novels, operas, films and artworks, as well as a never-abating production of academic texts. In this new biography, the first to be written in over a decade, author Esther Leslie uses the recently published entirety of Benjamin’s correspondence, drawing on his numerous diaries and autobiographical works, in order to provide a careful account of his circumstances and thoughts. Benjamin had many interests: he cherished childhood and its trappings; had a passion for the displacement and novelty of travel; toys; cities; trick-books; and ships; all are given due attention as the author weaves Benjamin’s wayward apperceptions into the narrative of a life lived. She follows Benjamin as he travels from Berlin to Capri, Ibiza, Riga, Moscow, Paris, and finally the Spanish border where he died in 1940. The author acknowledges Benjamin’s thesis that personal histories can be traced only in the context of social milieus, economic forces, technological shifts, and historical events, and seamlessly interweaves biographical details with an accessible yet concentrated account of Benjamin’s intellectual development, drawing a colourful portrait of a capacious intellect trapped in increasingly hostile circumstances.
   
VA37-17 Women and Romanticism, 5-Vols/Set.
  Eberle, Roxanne/ 9780415342186/ Price:GBP 325.00
 
Demonstrating the breadth and scope of women's writing in the Romantic period, this collection covers a variety of topics ranging across polemical treatises, private correspondence, philosophical and historical disquisitions, and poetry and prose fiction.

VA05-195 Structuralism, 4-Vols/Set.
  Culler, Jonathan/ 9780415340892/ Price:GBP 875.00
 
Structuralism is a broad intellectual movement in the humanities and social sciences that came to prominence in the 1960s. Representing the beginning of modern interdisciplinary work in what has come to be called "theory", it seeks not to explain the meaning of an object or event but to understand what made it possible. Taking as their methodological model the successes of the structural linguistics inaugurated by Ferdinand de Saussure, a group of thinkers in such fields as anthropology, literary and cultural studies, sociology and philosophy developed ambitious programs for the interdisciplinary study of the systems by which human beings make the world intelligible. Organized thematically, this four-volume collection explores the key areas of structuralism - and with a new introduction by the editor to guide the reader through the work, this is an essential collection of articles that provides a valuable research resource.

VA01-98 Autobiography, 4-Vols/Set.
  Broughton, Trev Lynn/ 9780415348713/ Price:GBP 300.00
 
The analysis of life-writing as a distinct and specialized project emerged only in the second half of the twentieth century. That it has achieved both academic respectability and critical cachet over the last twenty-five years is the result of a number of trends. Politically 'progressive' tendencies, from the civil rights, workers' educational and second-wave women's movements, to the establishment of sociology, social history and interdisciplinary women's and 'race' studies, have appealed to 'experience', via the production and dissemination of personal testimony, life-narratives, autobiographical manifestos, as the basis for consciousness-raising and as a challenge to dominant accounts of the social world. At the same time, paradoxically, neo-conservative celebrations of individual choice, personal entitlement, consumer power, have reinstated the 'unique' self and its representation at the heart of many late-capitalist cultures. This collection covers all of these schools of thought and brings together both 'mainstream' and 'dissident' theorists, authors and texts. With a new introduction by the editor, an index and a chronological table of contents, this collection will be a unique and unrivalled research resource for both student and scholar.
   
VA01-97 Children's Literature: Critical Concepts, 4-Vols/Set.
  Hunt, Peter/ 9780415372282/ Price:GBP 600.00
 
The study of children’s literature is currently centred on literary studies, educational studies, and a third more diverse group of many other related disciplines, including history, bibliography, sociology and psychology. All of these then overlap with cultural studies and contribute to the rapidly growing meta-discipline of childhood studies. Fascinating and insightful, this four-volume collection gathers together fundamental and essential essays from across the spectrum of disciplines, and is organized so that each volume focuses on one general interest group or area. With entries from specialist and professional journals across the world, this is a unique resource to complement the burgeoning numbers of specialist and reference books in the field.
   
VA01-95 Paradigms and Fairy Tales, 2-Vols/Set.
  Ford, Julienne/ 9780415401982/ Price:GBP 260.00
 
Paradigms and Fairy Tales is an introduction to the epistemology and practice of social science which will be welcomed by everyone who is curious about or disenchanted with the current conventions of academic social science. For the non-sociologist it provides an exposition and critique of the ideology and practice of social science, and an examination of the professional social scientist as a manipulator of ideas and appearances; his claims to expertise are exposed, and some rules for judging dialogues about social science 'evidence ' are suggested. The work is also a valuable, basic methodolodgy text or, more precisely, an anti-text. It provides the practising researcher with a concise manual of elementary research procedures and techniques, accompanied by a series of practical hints. On yet another level this work may be read as an allegorical fairy tale. It is the story of the rise and fall of a curious lapine civilization and of the fortunes of the devotees of a strange cult of mountaineering herous, who, even now, are regrouping for a new assault on the summit.

VA01-59 Women's Travel Writing 1750-1850, 8-Vols/Set.
  Franklin, Caroline/ 9780415320344/ Price:GBP 1400.00
 
Romantic Period saw a massive advance in British colonial expansion, which was accompanied by a corresponding expansion in travel writings. These published letters, journals and books provided British readers with detailed accounts of new and exotic locations and thus engaged the reading public with expansionist enterprises. Recent research inspired by colonial and exploration discourse has highlighted the significance of travel writing as one of the ideological apparatuses of empire. Emerging from the growth of feminist history and theory and the development of Women's Studies, specific interest in women's travel writing has also expanded. This collection covers the period of the French Revolution and concludes as Victoria ascends the throne. The journeys span France, Italy and central Europe, India, Africa and America.

VA01-101 Twentieth Century American Drama, 4-Vols/Set.
  / 9780415342704/ Price:GBP 300.00
 
There was a vast array of activity in American theatre during the twentieth century, when work produced in the United States reached the height of its significance and influence within the world repertoire. Presenting an overview of criticism on the full range of twentieth-century American drama as well as a substantial anthology that reflects the changing critical perspectives that have been trained on the area, this extensive collection performs two much-needed functions. Covering a variety of themes from the battles over realism and expressionism at the beginning of the century, to the emergence of Freudian and myth criticism, the response to post-structural theory in the seventies and eighties, and the intense focus on issues of gender, sexual identity and ethnicity toward the end of the century, this is a fascinating and unique collection for both student and scholar alike.
   
VA01-100 Myth, 4-Vols/Set.
  / 9780415354943/ Price:GBP 89.99
 
Myth is truly boundlessly interdisciplinary. There is no field of myth studies itself. Rather, many disciplines have contributed theories of myth. In addition to theories from anthropology and sociology, theories of myth have come mainly from psychology, folklore, philosophy, religious studies, and-not least-literature. All are represented in this new four-volume Major Work from Routledge, which draws together scholarship on myth that ranges from the late nineteenth century down to the present. In addition to surveys of approaches to myth, the topics covered are: myth and history, myth and nationalism, myth and ideology, myth and psychology, myth and ritual, myth and literature, myth and anthropology/strcturalism, myth and philosophy, myth and religion. and myth and science/science in myth. With an introduction by the editor, an index and a chronological table of articles, Myth will be welcomed by researchers as an indispensable reference resource.

Transatlantic Translations: Dialogues in Latin American Literature.
  Ortega, Julio/ 9781861892874/ Price:US$ 25.00
 
Ortega examines the ways in which the unknown has always been placed according to what is already known, the new according to the old. Tracing Latin American representations from the early modern to contemporary periods, in Shakespeare, Cervantes, Juan Rulfo, Ricardo Palma, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Juan Maria Gutierrez and many others, Ortega uncovers the rich fabric of literature that has emerged from that culture, arguing that the learning of language, far from being a means for the colonial to indoctrinate and civilize the natives, gave the natives the means to describe and communicate with the natural world around them, and eventually to re-tell their own history. Transatlantic Translations refigures Latin American narratives outside of the standard post-colonial framework of victimization and resistance. This book bridges the divide between abundance and scarcity, enabling the Old World and the New to meet and speak together in a shared language.
   
Jorge Luis Borges.
  Wilson,/ 9781861892867 / Price:GBP 11.99
 
These words, inseparably marrying life and work, encapsulate how Jorge Luis Borges interwove the two throughout his legendary literary career. But the Borges of popular imagination is the celebrated, blind librarian and man of letters; few biographers have explored his tumultuous early life in the streets and cafes of Buenos Aires, a young man searching for his path in the world. In Jorge Luis Borges, Jason Wilson uncovers the young poet who wrote, loved, and lost with adventurous passion, and considers the later work, life and travels of the writer who claimed to have never created a character: 'It's always me, subtly disguised.' Born in Buenos Aires in 1899, Jorge Luis Borges was a voracious reader from childhood, perhaps in part because he knew he lived under a sentence of adult-onset blindness inherited from his father. Wilson chronicles Borges's life as he raced against time and his fated blindness, charting the literary friendships, love affairs and polemical writings that formed the foundation of his youth. Illuminating the connections running between the biography and fictions of Borges, Wilson traces the outline of this self-effacing literary figure. Though in his later writings Borges would subjugate emotion to the wild play of ideas, Jorge Luis Borges reminds us that he was always a poet whose life was recreated subtly in his work – but never in confessional ways – and restores his Argentine roots. It will be an invaluable resource for all those who treasure this modern master.

VA03-108 Romanticism, 4-Vols/Set.
  O'Neill, Michael/ 9780415247221/ Price:GBP 325.00
 
Romanticism is, and always has been, one of the most hotly contested terms in literary and cultural history. Some of the writers who are now labelled Romantic refused to be defined by the word: 'it would be such bad taste', said Byron in 1820. Rene Wellek, on the other hand, argued that literatures called Romantic indicated common conceptions. This collection gathers key critical discussions which explore the complex and many-sided nature of the 'Romantic'.

  Waley, Arthur/ 9780415361828/ Price:GBP 240.00
 
Arthur Waley here presents an engrossing account of the works and life of Yuan Mei (1716-1797), the best-known poet of his time. Gaiety is the keynote of his works and the poet was a friend of the Manchu official with whom Commodore Anson had dramatic dealings at Canton in 1743. Yuan Mei gives an account (not previously translated) of Anson's interview with the Manchu authorities. The book contains many translations of Yuan Mei's verse and prose.
   
VA03-103-31 Chinese Poems.
  Waley, Arthur/ 9780415361750/ Price:GBP 240.00
 
Here in one volume is a collection of Arthur Waley's translations of Chinese poetry. The book includes some poems from The Book of Songs and 170 Chinese Poems, More Translations and The Temple. Some old translations have been revised and new notes and explanatory material added.
   
VA03-103-30 Book of Songs.
  Waley, Arthur/ 9780415361743/ Price:GBP 240.00
 
The Book of Songs is a collection of ancient Chinese songs, dating from 800 to 600 B.C. Until this was published in 1937 it had not been translated into English since the middle of nineteenth century, when sinology was still in its infancy. For the first time the original meaning of 290 out of the 305 songs is given, use being made of the advances in the study of old Chinese. The result is not merely a clear picture of early Chinese life, but also the restoration to its proper place in world literature of one of the finest collection of traditional songs.
   
VA03-103-26 Classical Theatre of China.

VA01-58 Later English Broadside Ballads, 2-Vols/Set.
  Holloway, John/ 9780415372220/ Price:GBP 350.00
 
Broadside or 'street' ballads not only give the flavour of english life and history more vividly than much historical evidence of more conventional kinds, but also their sheer poetic quality often makes them substantial poems, light or serious, in their own right. They are reprinted from contemporary or near contemporary broadsides in the Madden Collection at the University Library, Cambridge, and the head and tail blocks, so distinctive a feature of the original texts, are reproduced for this edition. The introduction is designed to enable the reader to read the texts in perspective and with pleasure, and the book includes a select bibiography and an index of ballad titles.

VA01-13 Robin Hood Classic Fiction Library, 8-Vols/Set.
  Knight, Stephen/ 9780415220026/ Price:GBP 1100.00
 
The Robin Hood tradition is best known in popular forms such as ballad, lyric, play, children's story and, in our own era, television and film. But there have also been a significant number of novelists who have devoted themselves to retelling and reshaping the story. In particular the nineteenth century provided some classical fictional reformulations of the outlaw saga where the hero and his activities were re-interpreted in ways relating to the concerns and values of the period. Robin appears as a Gothic adventurer, a romantic hero, a lost heir, a precursor of Baden-Powell, and even as a loyal servant of parliamentary democracy in its alleged origin. The substantial novels that embody these conceptions of the outlaw are little known, and quite unavailable. This collection reprints these nineteenth century texts and in doing so re-establishes for scholars and readers a largely lost element of the remarkably rich and still popular myth.

SA01-323 Ideas, Images, and Methods of Portrayal: Insights into Classical Arabic Literature and Islam.
  Gunther, S./ 9789004143258/ Price:EUR 215.00
 
This volume deals with the genesis of selected classical Arabic texts as the products of different milieus, and the implications which these texts had for Islamic societies in medieval times. It explores the concepts and images which Muslim scholars from the 8th to the 14th century presented in their writings and, in particular, ponders the ways in which these authors used specific methods of portrayal - either overtly or more subtly - to advance their ideas. The fresh theoretical and methodological approaches applied in this book facilitate the understanding of how medieval Muslim writers expressed their views and, more importantly, why they expressed them in the way they did. This helps disclose, for example, how the images of historically or religiously significant figures in Arabic-Islamic culture have been developed and shaped in the process of their "literarization."

SA01-311 The Idea of Notth.
  Davidson, Peter/ 9781861892300/ Price:GBP 24.95
 
The book also traces a northward journey, describing northern rural England, industrial sites, and the long emptiness of the borders, Scotland and the Highlands. He looks at the region far north of Scotland, then moves to the Northern Netherlands and Scandinavia to explore their identifiable northernness. The last visited place is Iceland, identified by W. H. Auden and Louis McNeice in 1936 as 'furthest, most remote, most distant, most northerly'
   
SA01-311 Chris Marker: Memories of the Future.
  Lupton, Catherine/ 9781861892232/ Price:GBP 24.00
 
Marker’s oeuvre moves in circles, with each project recycling and referring back to earlier works and to a host of other adopted texts, and proceeds by way of oblique association and lateral digression. This circular movement is ideally suited to capturing and mapping Marker’s abiding and consummate obsession: the forms and operations of human memory. Chris Marker: Memories of the Future itself aims to capture something of this movement, in forming a comprehensive analysis and overview of this modern master’s prolific and multi-faceted career.

VA01-56 Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance, 2-Vols/Set.
  Wintz, Cary/ 9781579583897/ Price:GBP 470.00
 
The encyclopedia is a two-volume, illustrated reference work of approximately 2,000 pages with about 600 entries that is the first comprehensive compilation of information about all aspects of this dynamic period. Thus, it includes essays on the principal participants in the Harlem Renaissance -- as well as on others who were involved more tangentially as critics, promoters and interpreters -- and their works; on those who defined the political, intellectual and cultural milieu in which the Renaissance existed; on important events and places; and on the major social, political and intellectual developments that created the context of the Harlem Renaissance. Entries of from 500 to 5,000 words fall into five main categories, which, for ease of review, have been subdivided into several areas (the encyclopedia itself is organized in an A-Z format). Each entry is followed by a brief list of selected further readings. In the case of person entries, a listing of the individual's publications (in the case of visual artists and musicians, listings of exhibits, artworks or compositions) and a capsule biographical sketch is also included.
   
VA01-47 Ossian and Ossianism, 4-Vols/Set.
  Moore, Dafydd/ 9780415288934/ Price:GBP 1050.00
 
James Macpherson's The Poems of Ossian (1760-1763) were one of the publishing sensations of the eighteenth century. Macpherson's supposed discovery of the epic poet Ossian in the Scottish Highlands provoked fascination and controversy in equal measure. His vision of a romantic Celtic past of melancholy heroes and mournful bards made an immediate impact on all aspects of eighteenth-century culture across Europe and influenced at least two generations of poets, novelists, painters and composers. Many of the most important documents of the Ossian phenomenon have hitherto only been accessible in a handful of British research libraries. This collection brings these documents for the first time to a wider audience.
   
VA01-46 Narrative Theory: Critical Concepts in Literary and Cultural Studies, 4-Vols/Set.
  Bal, Mieke/ 9780415316576/ Price:GBP 1050.00
 
This set of volumes sketches the history, breadth, and applicability of narrative theory, thus demonstrating its value as an analytical instrument. The collection includes articles from the leading names of narrative theory, such as Roland Barthes, Mikhail Bakhtin, Tzvetan Todorov and Jean-Francoise Lyotard, as well as lesser-known, though equally important, contributions. Volume 1: Major Issues in Narrative Theory Volume II: Special Topics Volume III: Political Narratology Volume IV: Interdisciplinarity
   
VA01-45 Gothic: Critical Concepts in Literary and Cultural Studies, 4-Vols/Set.
  Botting, Fred/ 9780415251129/ Price:GBP 94.99
 
In the last two decades criticism of Gothic fiction has been transformed from a scholarly backwater, interesting itself in literary curiosities, to a wave of wide-ranging critical investigations collectively convinced of the significance, scope and centrality of the genre. Embracing recent developments in critical theory and practice, work on Gothic has been able to engage systematically and penetratingly with issues of gender, history, race and politics, and so significantly extend the parameters of the field. This collection brings together key works which convey the breadth of what is understood to be Gothic, and the ways in which it has produced, reinforced and undermined received ideas about literature and culture. In addition to its interests in the late eighteenth-century origins of the form, this collection aims to anthologise what it takes to be path-breaking essays on most aspects of Gothic production, including some of its nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first century manifestations across a broad range of cultural media.
   
VA01-42 Shakespeare Imitations, Parodies and Forgeries, 3-Vols/Set.
  Kahan, Jeffrey/ 9780415288576/ Price:GBP 190.00
 
Shakespeare Imitations is a collection of all-but-forgotten Shakespearean plays, composed between 1710 and 1820. These imitations, parodies and forgeries reveal the biases of eighteenth-century Shakespeare in London theatre. But these plays are far from derivative. Indeed, rather than simply rewriting Shakespeare situations, these playwrights often placed Shakespearean characters in Neoclassical frameworks. Although many of these plays are unfamiliar to many now, within their own day these works enjoyed much critical and commercial success. For example, Nicholas Rowe's The Tragedy of Jane Shore (1714) was the most popular new play of the eighteenth century, and the sixth most performed tragedy, following Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Othello and King Lear. Even William Shirley's forgotten play, Edward the Black Prince (1750), 'was well received with great applause' and had a stage history spanning three decades. This collection includes the performance text to the 1796 Ireland play, Vortigern. The plays are all reset and, where possible, modernised from original manuscripts, with listed variants, and parallel passages traced to Shakespearean canonical texts. The set includes a new introduction by the editor, and raises important questions about the nature of artistic property and authenticity, a key area of Shakespearean research today.
   
VA01-41 Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names, The.
  Watts, Victor/ 9780521362092/ Price:GBP 330.00
 
This alphabetical dictionary is a totally new compilation, based on the archives of the English Place-Name Society and reflecting the most recent scholarship in the subject, of all the names of cities, towns, villages, hamlets, rivers, streams, hills and other geographical locations included in the Ordnance Survey Road Atlas of Great Britain (1983) plus many more. It provides a reflection of contemporary England, not just its historical past. Every place-name entry has a unique National Grid reference number, a list of historical spellings, the age and meaning of the name and its etymology (pre-Indo-European, Indo-European, Celtic, Primitive Welsh, Anglo-Saxon, Old Norse, Old French, Middle English, Modern English). Where appropriate, a commentary is provided on comparable names, on the problems, history and significance of the name for settlement, economic and social history, the development of the language and on its variant pronunciations and spellings.

SA01-310 A History of Reading.
  Fischer, Steven R./ 9781861892096/ Price:GBP 14.95
 
Fischer discusses society’s dedication to public literacy in the sweeping educational reforms of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and notes the appearance of free libraries, gender differences in reading matter, public advertising and the ‘forbidden’ lists of Church, State and the unemancipated. Finally, he assesses the future, in which it is likely that read communication will soon exceed oral communication through the use of the personal computer and the internet, and looks at ‘visual language’ and modern theories of how reading is processed in the human brain. Asking how the New Reader can reshape reading’s future, he suggests a radical new definition of what reading could be.

VA01-31 Alexander Pope and His Critics, 3-Vols/Set.
  Rounce, Adam/ 9780415309097/ Price:GBP 230.00
 
Warton's Essay on the Genius and Writings of Pope was one of the most influential critical works of the eighteenth century. Warton's sustained commentary on the most significant English poet of the century was read as both a promotion of Pope's literary genius, and an attack on it, and as such attracted strong opinion. At the same time its comparative critical method, drawing upon the important cultural and political events of the eighteenth century, provided a highly influential critical and creative model. This three-volume set reprints Joseph Warton's An Essay on the Genius and Writings of Pope (in two volumes), along with other responses to Pope (and Warton). The collection brings together significant documents both in the formation of eighteenth-century opinion of Pope and in the development of eighteenth century criticism. A new introduction by the editor, and an appendix discussing the revisions between editions of Warton's Essay will give the set extra value to the researcher.

SA03 Unsettling Memories: Narratives of the 'Emergency' in Delhi.
  Tarlo, Emma/ 9781850654483/ Price:GBP 45.00
 
This book belongs to the growing body of literature which seeks to work against the collective silence that often clings to violent and disturbing events. Focusing on India,s Emergency of 1975-7 when Indian democracy was temporarily suspended in favour of an authoritarian regime, it explores the various avenues through which this event is remembered and forgotten. Based on a combination of anthropological fieldwork and archival analysis, Unsettling Memories traces the experiences and perceptions of men and women who found themselves the key targets of the infamous slum clearance and sterilisation campaigns which converged to disrupt life in the nation,s capital, Delhi. Interweaving personal and official memories with a re-reading of resistance literature, Emergency propaganda and government files, the author offers a new and complex narrative of the Emergency. This book will be of interest to anthropologists, historians and political scientists as well as anyone concerned with everyday violence, the ethnography of events and life among India,s urban poor.

VA05-60 Mikhail Bakhtin, 4-Vols/Set.
  Gardiner, Michael E./ 9780761974475/ Price:GBP 675.00
 
This timely and comprehensive collection covers the contribution and significance of the famed Russian social and cultural theorist, Mikhail M. Bakhtin (1895-1975), as well as the work of other central members of the so-called 'Bakhtin Circle', especially Voloshinov and Medvedev. The material is organized thematically to provide a contextual basis of Bakhtin's thought and his central influences, including an investigation of the key concepts in Bakhtin's work (such as aesthetics, carnival, dialogism, the chronotope, and ethics); the major debates and interpretations around Bakhtin's writings; comparisons between Bakhtin and other significant sociocultural theorists, notably Foucault, Derrida, Habermas and Gramsci; and appropriations and applications of Bakhtin's ideas in such diverse fields as anthropology, geography, cultural studies and psychology. This unparalleled collection provides readers with the best secondary work on Bakhtin. It enriches our understanding of this prolific and multi-dimensional figure whose contribution stretches over the fields of cultural studies, linguistics, social philosophy, sociology and beyond.
   
VA03-31 Romanticism and Science: Subcultures and Subversions, 5-Vols/Set.
  Fulford, Tim/ 9780415219525/ Price:GBP 325.00
 
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is perhaps the best-known and most widely studied literary representation of science. Yet it is by no means the only text of its time to fictionalize the latest experiments and discoveries of natural philosophers. Science was burgeoning in the years 1760-1840, revolutionising how people saw the world around them, and this extended to the literary world. This five volume set is divided into sections by scientific discipline, each illuminating a context of current interest to literary scholars. An extensive introduction is included in the first volume giving a brief history of the development of various scientific fields - including Geology, Palaeontology, Chemistry and Physics - resumes of the central texts/discoveries and their significance, and an account of their impact on literature - and sometimes, literature's impact on science. A bibliography of major scientific works and suggestions for critical reading is also provided and the set is completed with a detailed index.

  Briggs, Katharine/ 9780415291477/ Price:GBP 1210.00

VA01-21 G. Wilson Knight: Collected Works, 12-Vols/Set.
  Knight, G. Wilson/ 9780415278966/ Price:GBP 1470.00
 
'Professor Wilson Knight stands in a class by himself among contemporary English critics. His work might best be described as the analysis and interpretation of genius, an arduous and heroic task for which he is peculiarly fitted by the possession not only of a penetrating intelligence but of imaginative powers of a very high order.' - Professor V. de S. Pinto 'I confess that reading his essays seems to me to have enlarged my understanding of the Shakespearean pattern, which, after all, is quite the main thing.' - T. S. Eliot Writer and critic, George Wilson Knight wrote numerous texts and essays on English literature as well as plays, poems and studies of literary figures. This set reissues many of these important works. Volume 1: The Imperial Theme Volume 2: The Shakespearian Tempest Volume 3: The Crown of Life Volume 4: The Mutual Flame Volume 5: The Sovereign Flower Volume 6: Shakespearian Production Volume 7: Shakespeare and Religion Volume 8: Shakespeare's Dramatic Challenge On English Poetry: Volume 9: The Starlit Dome Volume 10: Lord Byron: Christian Virtues Volume 11: Byron and Shakespeare Volume 12: Poets of Action
   
VA01-20 Modernism: Critical Concepts in Literary and Cultural Studies, 5-Vols/Set.
  Middleton, Tim/ 9780415242370/ Price:GBP 105.00
 
As befits so notoriously ambiguous a term, 'modernism' may be studied in a wide variety of contexts. The term embraces subjects ranging from the new architectural practices of Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius, the innovative art of painters as diverse as Monet and Kandinsky, the drama of Strindberg and Jarry, the poetry of Ezra Pound and Wallace Stevens, the fiction of Joseph Conrad, William Faulkner and Gertrude Stein. This collection of resources provides readers with access to major debates relating to modernism as a set of aesthetic practices and as a product of (late) modernity. This collection offers an overview of the history of modernism as a critical concept in Anglo-American literary criticism from the 1890s to the present day. The emphasis is on the main currents of critical debate relating to Anglo-American modernism and the contents have been organised chronologically and are presented in their entirety without editorial matter, allowing readers to access the debates about Anglo-American modernism from a given epoch. These volume demonstrate that, far from being a reactionary or monolithic field, modernism was a richly diverse area of cultural activity and remains a dynamic field of critical inquiry. One of the main ways in which the collection seeks to offer this corrective is in its attention to the relationship between modernism and popular culture.

VA01-17 Notebooks of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The. 5Vols in 10 Parts.
  Coburn, Kathleen/ 9780415283991/ Price:GBP 450.00
 
During his adult life until his death in 1834, Coleridge made entries in more than sixty notebooks. Neither commonplace books nor diaries, but something of both, they contain notes on literary, theological, philosophical, scientific, social and psychological matters, plans for and fragments of works and many other items of great interest. Shortly after World War II, Kathleen Coburn, formerly of Victoria College in Toronto, rediscovered this great collection of unpublished manuscripts. With the support of the Coleridge estate, she embarked on a career of editing and publishing these volumes and was awarded with many honours for her work, including: a Leverhulme Award (1948), a Guggenheim Fellowship (1953), a Fellowship in the Royal Society of Canada (1958), the Order of Canada (1974) and an honorary doctorate from her own university. Originally projected as a five volume set (each volume consisting of a book of text and a book of notes) only four of the volumes have been published to date. This collection will not only make available those four volumes once again but will also, for the first time, publish the final long awaited fifth and final volume bringing the collection to its natural conclusion.

VA01-12 I. A. Richards: Selected Works 1919-1938, 10-Vols/Set.
  Constable, John/ 9780415217316/ Price:GBP 400.00
 
. A. Richards was the most influential of the first generation of academic literary theorists. This definitive collection of his writing between 1919 and 1938 shows that Richards' position was distinct from the emerging consensus in university literary education. Richards is often misunderstood as a master of a now superseded school of academic criticism and a forerunner of an institutionalised classroom method. This set will allow today's scholar and researcher to discover that Richards was actually one of its most severe critics.
   
VA01-11 Women and Radicalism in the Nineteenth Century, 4-Vols/Set.
  Sanders, Mike/ 9780415205252/ Price:GBP 325.00
 
This important collection of writings is about, and by, women connected with social and political movements between 1799-1870. It also records the attitudes of the great radical reformers to the role of women in society and documents the vast cultural changes brought about by industrialisation. The collection draws together the following key material: Volume I contains an extensive collection of writings from 19th century periodicals, reflecting the high point of working class women's involvement in radical movements. Volume II focuses on the writings of Frances Wright, an important figure in radical circles in both Britain and the US. Volume III illustrates the debates of the period surrounding marriage, sexuality and family. Included are writings by Frances Morrison, Robert Dale Owen, William Cobbett and William Lovett. Volume IV reprints J. D. Milne's 'Industrial Employment of Women'. This important but neglected text argues for the direct engagement of women in all areas of industrial life. This collection will appeal to anyone with an interest in women's history and Victorian studies.

VA01-19 George Eliot: Family History, 5-Vols/Set.
  Hughes, Kathryn/ 9780415232548/ Price:GBP 750.00
 
Any understanding of George Eliot's mature art must begin with an appreciation of the rich, difficult family dynamic out of which it was forged. Her friends and relations understood this, and went into print with their own accounts of the process by which George Eliot's early recollections became the basis, not just for her fiction, but also for her philosophic conservatism. The past - and memory of that past - was the cornerstone on which Eliot believed any chance of social or political progress must securely rest. This set, the fifth collection in the Family History series brings together valuable sources, including manuscript material from letters and diaries which give insights into these crucial influences. A new introduction places the material in its literary and historical context.
   
VA01-10 Feminism: Critical Concepts in Literary and Cultural Studies, 4-Vols/Set.
  Evans, Mary/ 9780415192835/ Price:GBP 300.00
 
Feminism has always refused compartmentalisation within any one social context, and this collection attests to its universal relevance. This is a guide for specialist and non-specialist readers to the many debates and discussions to which feminists have contributed in the past two hundred years. The collected works are arranged chronologically, giving readers a sense of the history of feminism, and the movement's changes and developments. At the same time, readers can also assess the extent to which some aspects of women's relationships with the social world have remained unchanged. An insightful introduction places the pieces selected in the appropriate intellectual and historical context, and a new index makes this an indispensable resource and searchable tool.

Serenity Ann Waltz's life has always had its challenges. Born to unwed teen parents in a small town in Minnesota could have, in itself, been disastrous. Things always seemed to work out though; her parents married when of age and with the support of Serenity's grandparents, were able to go to college and make a better life for their daughter. They believe in letting Serenity express her individuality and keeping an open and honest relationship, or Serenity has always been lead to believe. But on Serenity's thirteenth birthday, she sees something which will change their lives forever. She sees people no one else can see, and hears voices no one else can hear. While trying to unravel this new mystery in her life, and convincing herself she is not crazy, she falls into a web of deception and lies mingled with truth, and the destiny her family has been trying desperately to deny. Its enough to put anyone in the loony bin. In spite of all her new found problems, she also has to defend herself from the school bully, and maintain healthy relationships with her friends, not to mention, one of her childhood friends, David, and herself have seemed to make a deeper connection.
