During the 20th century, theory incorporated poetics, rhetorics, aesthetics and linguistics, while also opening itself to continental philosophy. What has changed today? The knowledge that we live in a de-centered world has destabilized the primacy granted to a purely Western canon.

Crimes of the Future sees one of the world's leading literary theorists exploring the past, present and potential future of theory.

Reading Theory Now explores movements in critical thinking through a host of radical theorists, and channels those movements through the work of one of the most influential proponents of critical interpretation in the world today, J. Hillis Miller. It enables its readers to see how and why theoretical models of reading are of use only in the practical event of reading literary and philosophical texts, that the politics and poetics of interpretive paradigms are constantly shifting, changing and evolving as present day perspectives transform those traditions unalterably.

Literary Theory Literary Fiction The Ways We Read Narrative Literature Geir Farner Based on a new cognitive model of literature as communication, Farner systematically explains how literary fiction works, providing new solutions to a wide range of literary issues, like intention, function, evaluation, delimitation of the literary work as such, fictionality, suspense, and the roles of author and narrator, along with such narratological problems as voice, point of view and duration.

Perspectives on World War I Poetry

Romantic Literature in Light of Bakhtin

Robert C. Evans

Walter L. Reed

Introducing students to the full range of critical approaches to the poetry of the period, this is an authoritative and accessible guide to the extraordinary variety of international poetic responses to the Great War. Each chapter covers one or more major poets, and guides the reader through close readings of poems from a full range of theoretical perspectives. The book includes the full text of each poem discussed and poetry from British, North American and Commonwealth writers, from Thomas Hardy, A.E. Housman, Alys Fane Trotter, Eva Dobell, Charlotte Mew, John McCrae, Edward Thomas and many more.

Developing a theory of Romanticism in comparison to Modernism and Post-modernism, this is a major new piece of scholarship on Bakhtin and the idea of personality in literary theory. It offers a better understanding of the preoccupation with the individual, creative self that lay at the heart of this revolutionary literature that still speaks to readers today.

Stuff Theory

The Risk of Reading

Everyday Objects, Radical Materialism

How Literature Helps Us to Understand Ourselves and the World

Maurizia Boscagli Stuff Theory offers a groundbreaking theory of materialism which reconsiders the role of stuff, the small objects that clutter our lives, as they crowd the pages of modern literature. Boscagli explores how fiction deals with modern culture and a society which exalts commodities and reconfigures the theories of Benjamin, Deleuze, Lator and Bergson for contemporary culture.

MAURIZIA BOSCAGLI is Associate Professor of English, Comparative Literature, and Feminist Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA.

Ricoeur, Literature and Imagination Sophie Vlacos

Robert Waxler The Risk of Reading is a defense of the idea that deep and close readings of literature can help us to understand ourselves and the world around us. It explores some of the meaning and implications of modern life through the deep reading of significant books. Waxler argues that we need ‘fiction’ to give our so-called ‘real life’ meaning and that reading narrative fiction remains crucial to the making of a humane and democratic society.

From 1945 to Today Deborah Philips

Now in its second edition and with new chapters covering such texts as Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love and 'yummy mummy' novels such as Allison Pearson's I Don't Know How She Does It, this is a wide-ranging survey of popular women's fiction from 1945 to the present.

A Reader

Victorian Poetry in Context Rosie Miles

Edited by Stephen Prickett “Only the most polymathic of readers will fail to find something here to surprise, enlighten and occasionally, entertain... this ought to mark a watershed in Anglophone perceptions of European Romanticism.” Times Literary Supplement This anthology places British Romanticism in a European context, showing how ideas and writers interconnected across national and linguistic boundaries.

STEPHEN PRICKETT is Regius Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Glasgow and Honorary Professor at the University of Kent at Canterbury, UK.

Considering such issues as reform and protest, gender, science and belief, this book introduces the reader to the poetry of the Victorian era (including writers like Robert Browning, Christina Rossetti and Alfred Lord Tennyson) and its social, cultural and political contexts.

British and Irish Literature The Decades Series

Assembling Flann O'Brien

Series editors: Leigh Wilson, Nick Hubble and Philip Tew

Maebh Long

Moving beyond a survey approach, this major series places British fiction among the cultural shifts and headline events of a decade. From the collapse of communism, through the rise of Thatcher to the shifts in global power, each volume evaluates the impact of social, cultural and political history on the fiction of the respective period. Breaking British fiction into its four constituent decades, the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s and the 2000s and using social, cultural and political contexts to understand its chronology means changing literary themes are properly accounted for and traditional readings opened up. Alongside the national reception, the series looks closely at how British fiction has been received internationally.

The 1970s: A Decade of Contemporary British Fiction

The 1980s: A Decade of Contemporary British Fiction

Edited by Nick Hubble, John McLeod and Philip Tew

Edited by Philip Tew, Emily Horton and Leigh Wilson

Exploring the impact of events like the Cold War, miners' strikes and Winter of Discontent, this volume charts the transition of British fiction from post-war to contemporary.

Chapters outline the decade's diversity of writing, and close contextual readings of Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish, and English novels map the steady break-up of Britain. This volume also examines the rising resonance of the marginal voices: the world of 1970s British Feminist fiction and postcolonial and diasporic writers.

NICK HUBBLE is Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary English Literature at Brunel University, UK. JOHN MCLEOD is Professor of Postcolonial and Diaspora Literatures in the School of English at the University of Leeds, UK.

Setting the fiction squarely within the context of Conservative politics and questions about culture and national identity, this volume reveals how the decade associated with Thatcherism frames the work of Kazuo Ishiguro, Martin Amis, and Graham Swift, of Scottish novelists and new diasporic writers.

Chuck Palahniuk Fight Club, Invisible Monsters, Choke Edited by Francisco Collado-Rodríguez Offering a distinctive world full of traumatized characters trapped in a consumerist society where men, women, sex and gender have become unstable commodities, Chuck Palahniuk has become one of the most controversial of contemporary novelists.

This book is the first guide to bring together scholars from a full range of critical perspectives to explore three of Palahniuk’s most widely-studied novels: Fight Club, Invisible Monsters and Choke. Examining these works in light of such key critical themes as violence, masculinity, postmodern aesthetics and trauma, the book also explores the ethical dimension of Palahniuk’s work that is often lost in the heat of the controversies surrounding his books.

European Literature Kafka Translated

The Politics of Literature in Nazi Germany

How Translators have Shaped our Reading of Kafka Michelle Woods This is the first book to look at the issue of translation and Franz Kafka's work. The book specifically focuses on the role of two of Kafka's first translators, Milena Jesenská and Willa Muir, as well as two contemporary translators, Mark Harman and Michael Hofmann, and how their work might allow us to reassess reading Kafka. From here Woods opens up the whole process of translation and re-examines accepted and prevailing interpretations of Kafka's work.

(1897).

Highlighting literature and philosophy's potential impact on economics, health care, bioethics, public policy and theology, this book analyses the heuristic value of fiction. Analysing a wide range of literature — from Augustine, Shakespeare, Spinoza and Deleuze to Kafka, Sylvia Plath, Philip Roth, W.G. Sebald and Jonathan Littell — Mack rethinks ethical attitudes towards the long or eternal life. In so doing he shows how philosophy and literature turn representation against itself to expose the hollowness of theologically grand concepts that govern our secular approach towards ethics, economics and medicine.

The Reception of British and Irish Authors in Europe Series editor: Elinor Shaffer Our knowledge of British and Irish authors is incomplete and inadequate without an understanding of the perspectives of other nations on them. Each volume examines the ways authors have been translated, published, distributed, read, reviewed and discussed in Europe. In doing so, it throws light not only on the specific strands of intellectual and cultural history but also on the processes involved in the dissemination of ideas and texts.

Science Fiction: A Guide for the Perplexed

The Novel: An Alternative History, 1600-1800

Sherryl Vint

Steven Moore

“Vint is one of the sharpest science fiction critics of her generation.

This is a taut, rigorous and very readable introduction to thinking historically, formally and theoretically about a genre that has steadily gained in prominence across all kinds of media over the last century. This is a fantastic start for those encountering science fiction for the first time, because it provides a tool-kit of critical resources to help formulate responses to a dynamic and exciting genre. Highly recommended.”

Roger Luckhurst, Professor in Modern and Contemporary Literature, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK

This is a comprehensive history and controversial reappraisal of the world's most popular and innovative literary form. The Novel covers many of the famous classics, including Don Quixote, Candide, Pilgrim's Progress, Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels, and Tom Jones, as well as hundreds of other novel novels.

James Ley Spanning 300 years of cultural history, Ley explores the work of six influential literary critics — Samuel Johnson, William Hazlitt, Matthew Arnold, T.S. Eliot, Lionel Trilling and James Wood — providing a lucid account of each critic's core principles and philosophies and considering the role of the literary critic as a public figure.

JAMES LEY has been a literary critic for fifteen years. His work has appeared in numerous publications, including The Age, Australian Book Review, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian and the Times Literary Supplement.

Considering key texts by Gertrude Stein, Vladimir Nabokov, Marcel Proust, Roland Barthes, and James Frey, among others, this is an extensive exploration into autobiographical writing, combining practical analysis for creative non-fiction writers with criticism of key texts for students of literary studies.

Packed with easy-to-use resources, this is the first book to focus on the practical side of creative writing.

Connecting classroom experiences to community-based projects, it prepares students of creative writing for teaching in schools, homeless centres, youth clubs, and care homes.
