Wine

Meg Bernhard, Freelance journalist, USA

While wine drunk millennia ago was the humble beverage of the people, today the drink is inextricable with power, sophistication, and often wealth Bottles sell for half a million dollars Point systems tell us which wines are considered the best Wine professionals give us the language to describe what we taste Agricultural product and cultural commodity, drink of ritual and drink of addiction, purveyor of pleasure, pain, and memory — wine has never been contained in a single glass Drawing from science, religion, literature, and memoir, Wine meditates on the power structures bound up with this ancient, intoxicating beverage

Pregnancy Test

Karen Weingarten, Queens College, City University of New York, USA

In the 1970s, the invention of the pregnancy test changed what it means to be pregnant For the first time, women could use a technology in the privacy of their own homes that gave them a yes or no answer That answer had the power to change the course of their reproductive lives, and it chipped away at a paternalistic cultural that gave gynecologists—the majority of whom were men—control over information about women’s bodies Pregnancy Test examines the history and cultural representation of the pregnancy test to show how this object radically changed sex and pregnancy in the late 20th and early 21st centuries

Grave

Allison C. Meier, Freelance writer, New York City, USA

The expectation of a casket beneath a monument in a cemetery on the outskirts of town was created by decades of belief, politics, and business, as was the recent revival of the ancient practice of cremation Now the cemeteries established in the 19th century are filling up and the harmful emissions from cremation are a concern. Green burial, human composting, and coral reefs of ashes are all emerging as new designs Yet these solutions often overlook the indigent and unidentified who frequently are interred in mass graves, not unlike the potter’s fields of the colonial era. The grave may be a final destination, but it is not the great leveler, and permanency is always a privilege

Jeff Jarvis, City University of New York, USA

Alan G. Smith, Independent Scholar, UK, Robert Edgar, York St John University, UK & John Marland, York St. John University, UK

This study analyses the establishment of a ‘Hardyan Folk Horror’ as a manifestation of perpetual philosophical conflict.

British Children's Literature and Material Culture Commodities and Consumption 18501914

Jane Suzanne Carroll, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

The first book-length study to situate children’s literature within the consumer culture of this period, this text explores the intersection of children’s books, their consumerism and the representation of commodities within British children’s literature Beginning with the Great Exhibition of 1851 and drawing on texts such as Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There and Five Children & It, and historical documents, shop catalogues, lost property records, and advertisements, Carroll provides fresh critical insight into children’s relationships with material culture and reveals that even the most fantastic texts had roots in the ordinary, everyday things

Reading Baudelaire with Adorno Dissonance, Subjectivity, Transcendence

Joseph Acquisto, University of Vermont, USA

This book reads Charles Baudelaire’s oeuvre –including verse poems, prose poems, and critical writings – in dialogue with the esthetic theory of Theodor Adorno, for whom the autonomy of the artwork critically resists any attempt to view it merely as a product of its socio-historic context. It argues that the figure of the subject as a “dissonant chord” provides a gateway to Baudelaire’s reconfiguration of subjectivity and objectivity in both esthetic and epistemological terms Dissonant subjectivity in Baudelaire points to a different way forward that depends on a new and dialectical relation of subject and object

France/Kafka An Author in Theory

Emily Dickinson's Poetic Art

A Cognitive Reading

Margaret H. Freeman

Critical interpretations of Emily Dickinson's poems tend to focus on what they mean rather than on what kind of experience they create A cognitive approach to literary criticism, based on recent cognitive research, helps readers experience and understand the hows and whys of what a poem is saying and doing By experiencing Dickinson’s poetry from a cognitive perspective, readers are able to better understand why we feel so close to the poet and why her poetry endures Emily Dickinson's Poetic Art is an important contribution to the study of a major American poet as well as to the growing field of cognitive literary studies.

“All-Electric” Narratives

Time-Saving Appliances and Domesticity in American Literature, 1945–2020

Rachele Dini, University of Roehampton, UK

The literary depiction of appliances is examined across a range of literary genres and forms published between the early 1910s, as Fordism and Taylorism entered the home, and the 2010s, as contemporary writers consider the enduring material and spiritual effects of these objects into the 21st century She demonstrates the extent to which American writers have enlisted appliances to raise questions about gender norms and sexuality, racial exclusion and erasure, class anxieties, mechanisation, conformity, patriotism, and the inevitable fallacy of utopian thinking—while both shaping and radically disrupting the literary forms in which they operated

Lost in the New West

Reading Williams, McCarthy, Proulx and McGuane

Mark Asquith, Independent Scholar, UK Lost in the New West investigates a group of writers who have sought to explore the tensions inherent to the Western, where distinctions between old and new, myth and reality, authenticity and sentimentality are often blurred Mark Asquith draws attention to the idealistic young men at the center of such works as John Williams's Butcher's Crossing (1960), Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian (1985), Annie Proulx's Wyoming stories and Thomas McGuane's Deadrock novels For each writer, these characters struggle to come to terms with the difference between the suspect mythology of the American West that shapes their identity and the reality that surrounds them

Time Regained

World Literature and Cinema

Delia Ungureanu, Harvard University, USA

Over the past 30 years, the fields of world literature and world cinema have developed on parallel but largely separate tracks, with little recognition of their underlying similarities and the ways that each can learn from the other Time Regained does not move from literature to cinema but exists simultaneously in both fields. The 7 filmmakers selected here are themselves also writers or people with literary training, and therefore produce a new type of world cinema. Their films produce new readings of literary texts that world literature studies wouldn’t have been able to achieve with its own instruments

Pacific Literatures as World Literature

Edited by Hsinya Huang, National Sun Yat-Sen University, Taiwan & Chia-hua Yvonne Lin, University of Hawai‘I at Manoa, USA

This volume is a conjuration of trans-Pacific poets and writers whose work enacts forces of “becoming oceanic” and suggests a different mode of understanding, viewing, and belonging to the world With ground-breaking writings from authors based in North America, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Hawaii, and Guam and new modes of research – multispecies ethnography and practice, ecopoetics, and indigenous cosmopolitics – authors explore the sociopolitical significance of the Pacific. This volume aims to decenter continental/land poetics as such via long-standing transnational Pacific ties, re-worlding Pacific literature as world literature.

Beyond Safety

Risk, Cosmopolitanism, and Neoliberal Contemporary Life

Emily Johansen, Texas A&M University, USA

Emily Johansen investigates depictions of global danger and safety in contemporary transnational fictional and popular texts—those characterized by a narrative or representational emphasis on border crossing and global interdependences She demonstrates how these texts use risk to question and re-imagine the norms and practices of contemporary global citizenship Beyond Safety thus brings together three of the central keywords of contemporary literary criticism of the last ten years (cosmopolitanism, precarity, neoliberalism) and shows how their intersection allows for a fuller conception of contemporary life and imagines a new global future

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Postcolonial Print Cultures

Edited by Toral Jatin Gajarawala, Neelam Srivastava, Rajeswari Sunder Rajan & Jack Webb

Reflecting the diversity of postcolonial print cultures, this book covers local, national, and transnational cultures from Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, examining published and unpublished writing, magazines, pamphlets, paratexts, advertisements, cartoons, radio, and street art that serve as the intellectual forces behind opposition to colonial orders, as meditations on the futures of embryonic nation states, and as visions of new forms of equality

Its wide-ranging essays offer a nuanced study of a global phenomenon: postcolonial print cultures as a distinct literary field. The chapters recover the efforts of writers, readers and publishers to produce a postcolonialism ‘from below’, and thereby offer a range of fresh perspectives on the meaning and history of postcolonialism

Edited by Paul Fagan, University of Vienna, Austria, John Greaney, Goethe University, Germany & Tamara Radak, University of Vienna, Austria

Focusing on previously unexplored lacunae of Irish modernism, this book interrogates neglected figures and genres to develop a more attentive and fluid theoretical space in which to reflect upon the field.

Probing Irish modernism’s responsiveness to contemporary theory beyond postcolonial and Irish studies, it uses diverse paradigms including weak theory, queer theory, gender and canonicity, biopolitics, posthumanism, and the nonhuman turn to rethink Irish modernism’s organizing themes: nationalism, martyrdom, war, state violence, prostitution, temporality, death and mourning

Shadows of Futurity in Yeats and Auden

Focusing on the work of 2 of the 20th-century’s most politically engaged poets - W. B. Yeats and W. H. Auden - this book examines how they directly confront the concept of “utopia”. Through an examination of these 2 great writers' poems, essays, reviews, and other writings, with a focus on many of their best-known poems, it unpacks how they engage with utopia as a literary genre, and how their work conceives of poetry as a utopian artform capable of uniquely embodying our social aspirations

Hope, Form, and Future in the Work of James Joyce

David P. Rando

Hope, Form, and Future in the Work of James Joyce argues that hope is an overlooked yet central term for understanding Joyce Joyce has often been read in terms of individual and collective political paralysis and hopelessness At times, he has also been described as endorsing certain political visions or programs But a full consideration of the concept of hope helps to complicate these views and to present a Joyce who thinks more agilely about the future, possibility, and politics than has been sufficiently recognized. It argues that Joyce’s texts, as early as Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, are not directed toward specific political goals, but are rather extraordinarily open to political futures that cannot necessarily be named or known in advance; indeed, these texts are of value in part because they encourage and can help readers to imagine such unimaginable futures In addition to this, it also charts the ways in which Ulysses and Finnegans Wake develop a formal technique of spatializing hope

Thomson,

The Tablet

Enthralling and original… Gallenzi’s meticulous commitment to his subject shines through. Although he presents himself as something of an embattled outsider, he is working within, and contributing to, a long tradition of Keats scholarship. There’s no doubt that all Keatsians will appreciate the new details and insights he adds to our picture of the poet’s last five months.

Lucasta Miller, The Spectator

[Written in Water] offers a mine of contextual information about Keats’s final months and will prove an essential resource for future biographers

William Shakespeare: A Brief Life

Paul Menzer, Mary Baldwin College, USA

One of the appealing dynamics of the Shakespeare myth is the contrast of his humble beginnings and his lofty achievements, persuading us that genius might blossom anywhere William Shakespeare: A Brief Life honours these myths, but also explores some of the mysteries: why Shakespeare left Stratford, who he ran with in London, why he put down his pen and at last came home again Ultimately, the book explores the compelling contrast between the mere 52 years Shakespeare lived, with the prolonged after lives of his work and his story

Global Shakespeare and Social Injustice

Towards a Transformative Encounter

Edited by Chris Thurman, Wits University, South Africa & Sandra Young, University of Cape Town, South Africa

This collection probes the relationship between Shakespeare studies and the intractable forms of social injustice that infuse cultural, political and economic life Chapters help us to imagine what radical and transformative pedagogy, theatre-making and scholarship might look like The contributors both invoke and invert the paradigm of Global Shakespeare, building on the vital contributions of this scholarly field over the past few decades but also suggesting ways in which it cannot quite accommodate the various ‘global Shakespeares’ presented in the book

Shakespeare and the Challenge of the Contemporary

Performance,

Politics and Aesthetics

Francesca Clare Rayner, Universidade do Minho, Portugal

Francesca Clare Rayner highlights the diversity and experimentalism of contemporary performance practices in Portugal She references key debates within contemporary performance studies on intermediality, globalization and political participation and analyses their configurations within a Portuguese context These case studies represent clear alternatives to the market-driven view of the contemporary as the continual reproduction of the new and the topical for global consumers, recasting the contemporary instead as the site of tragedy and crisis in a Europe fragmented by years of economic austerity and political divisions around Brexit and ecological vacillation

Shakespeare / Text

Contemporary Readings in Textual Studies, Editing and Performance

Edited by Claire M. L. Bourne, Pennsylvania State University, USA

Written by 20 leading experts on textual matters, each chapter challenges a single entrenched binary—such as book/theater, source/adaptation, text/paratext, canon/apocrypha, sense/nonsense, extant/ephemeral, material/digital, and original/copy—that has come to both define and limit the way we read, analyze, teach, perform, and edit Shakespeare today The chapters in Shakespeare / Text make strong cases for challenging received wisdom and offer new, portable methods of treating 'the text' (in its myriad instantiations) that will be useful to scholars, editors, theatre practitioners, teachers and librarians

Girl Culture in the Middle Ages and Renaissance

Performance and Pedagogy

Deanne Williams, York University, Canada

This is the first study of the medieval and early modern girl actor, exploring the girl actor, along with girl singers, authors and translators, as a broad and coherent expression of 'girl culture'

Contradicting previous scholarly assumptions about the early modern stage as male-dominated, this evidence reveals girls’ participation and role in shaping medieval religious drama, Tudor civic pageants and royal entries, Elizabethan country house entertainments, and Stuart court and household masques

Shakespeare's Political Imagination

The Historicism of Setting

Philip Goldfarb Styrt, St. Ambrose University, USA

This book argues that to better understand Shakespeare’s plays it is essential to look at the conceptions of the political societies available to him It offers us new readings of neglected critical moments in key plays by investigating the political contexts and cultures at work in Shakespeare's worlds Settings are a powerful component in Shakespeare’s worlds that not only function as physical locations, but are a mechanism through which he communicates the political and social orders of the plays
