The Nature of Flight Christopher Schaberg, Loyola University New Orleans, USA Adapted by adaptor

"An insightful, witty guide to the ecologies of Earth’s strange new habitat. A Thoreau not of Concord, but of the concourse, Schaberg writes with boundless curiosity for the many layers of meaning and contradiction within the physical and mental space of airports." David George Haskell, University of the South, USA From curbside to baggage, and pondering the minutes and hours of sitting in between, Christopher Schaberg contemplates the mundane world of commercial aviation to discover “the nature of flight.”

Airportness turns out to be more than just architecture and design elements—rather, it is all the rumble and buzz of flight, the tedium of travel as well as the feelings of uplift.

Object Lessons Series Editors: Ian Bogost, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA; Christopher Schaberg, Loyola University New Orleans, USA Object Lessons is a series of concise, collectable, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Each book starts from a specific inspiration: an historical event, a literary passage, a personal narrative, a technological innovation—and from that starting point explores the object of the title, gleaning a singular lesson or multiple lessons along the way. Featuring contributions from writers, artists, scholars, journalists, and others, the emphasis throughout is lucid writing, imagination, and brevity. Object Lessons paints a picture of the world around us, and tells the story of how we got here, one object at a time.

Forgetfulness Making the Modern Culture of Amnesia Francis O'Gorman, University of Edinburgh, UK Adapted by adaptor

"Forgetfulness is for anyone who wants to remember what it is like to read an intelligent and provocative book." Robert Hewison, cultural historian This is a book about modern culture and its profound rejection of the past. It charts emergence of the idea that what's important in human life and work is what will happen in the future. Forgetfulness asks what the absence of history does to our sense of purpose, as well as what belonging both to time and place might mean in cultures without a memory. It is written in praise of the best achievements and deeds of the past, but is also an expression of profound anxiety about what forgetting them is doing to us.

Reading Austen in America Juliette Wells, Goucher College, USA Adapted by adaptor

"Juliette Wells’s fascinating Reading Austen in America sets the standard for Austen studies for coming decades, as we begin to reckon Austen’s influence and legacy outside of Britain. Wells handles with grace a blend of archival research, book history and delightful anecdote, reshaping as she does so many long-held assumptions about Austen." Mary Favret, Professor of English, Johns Hopkins University, USA

"As one who has failed countless eye tests, I had no idea that my condition was metaphysical. Then I read William Germano’s comprehensive and witty history of this amazing object. Germano shows that the humble eye chart is everywhere, a central object, image, and text in the world of visual culture. His book is a feast of learning, precision, and humor." W. J. T. Mitchell, University of Chicago, USA Encompassing a Spanish cleric’s Renaissance guide to testing vision, a Dutch ophthalmologist’s innovation in optical tech, and the witty subversion of the eye chart in advertising and popular culture, Eye Chart is an essay on the sharp, the fuzzy, and the invisible.

"In this beguiling book, Christopher J. Lee opens up the whole panorama of jetting off, arriving, and sleeping it off ... A profound and witty meditation on a key secret of modernity." Enda Duffy, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA "A revelatory and compelling meditation on the temporal and affective dislocations of global capitalism." Jonathan Crary, Columbia University, USA Tracing physiological, temporal, technological, and cultural meanings, Christopher J. Lee’s Jet Lag ponders our intrinsic human limits in the face of modern innovation, revealing the latent costs of global cosmopolitanism today.

Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow, Independent Scholar, USA

Anna Leahy, Chapman University, USA

Adapted by adaptor

"Loving, wise, and exuberant, a moving meditation on nostalgia and obsolescence.

Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow writes as beautifully about Georg Simmel and Allan Bloom as she does about Jane Fonda and Metallica. Now I understand why I still own the taxicab-yellow Walkman my grandmother gave me in 1988." Nathaniel Rich In Personal Stereo, Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow takes us back to the birth of the device, exploring legal battles over credit for its invention, its ambivalent reception in 1980s America, and its lasting effects on social norms and public space. Ranging from postwar Japan to the present, Tuhus-Dubrow tells an illuminating story about our emotional responses to technological change.

"Leahy looks a tough subject right in the eyes, and tells its story with grace, insight, alacrity, and wit." David Eagleman, Stanford University, USA Tumor takes readers on an intellectual adventure around the attitudes that shape how humans do scientific research, treat cancer, and talk about disease, treatment, and death. With poetic verve and acuity, Anna Leahy explores why and how tumors happen, how we think and talk about them, and how we try to rid ourselves of them.

Sock Kim Adrian, Brown University, USA Adapted by adaptor

Shopping Mall Matthew Newton, Carnegie Museum of Art, USA Adapted by adaptor

"Newton evokes the American mall as symbol of white flight, aspirational fantasy, and the shoptill-you-drop consumerism of the late 1980s.

These are striking tales of suburban isolation in which Newton reveals life from the employee side of the counter to the idealistic architects' designs." Yona Harvey The mall near Matthew Newton’s childhood home in Pittsburgh was one of the state’s first enclosed shopping malls. Like all malls in their heyday, this one was a climate-controlled pleasuredome where strangers converged. It also became the backdrop for filmmaker George A. Romero’s zombie opus Dawn of the Dead. Part memoir and part case study, Shopping Mall examines the modern mythology of the mall and shows that, more than a collection of stores, it is a place of curiosity, ritual, and fantasy.

Veil Rafia Zakaria, Independent Scholar, USA Adapted by adaptor

"An intellectually bracing, beautifully written exploration of an item of clothing all too freighted with meaning." Molly Crabapple Part memoir and part philosophical investigation, Veil questions the assumption that what is seen is always good and free, and that what is veiled can only signal servility and subterfuge. From personal encounters with the veil in France (where it is banned) to Iran (where it is compulsory), Zakaria shows how the garment’s reputation as a premodern relic is fraught and up for grabs. The veil is an object in constant transformation, whose myriad meanings challenge the absolute truths of patriarchy.

"Sock is the darndest thing. Witty and sly, written with the highest tactile precision, it is at the same time stacked with erudite asides and unexpected perspectives." Sven Birkerts "Fun, focused, and footloose!" Nicholson Baker Who ponders the sock? This common object is something people tug on and take off daily with hardly a thought.

Unraveling the garment’s history, construction, and use, Kim Adrian’s Sock reintroduces us to our own bodies—vulnerable, bipedal, and flawed. Sock reminds us that extraordinary secrets live in mundane material realities.

Whale Song Margret Grebowicz, Goucher College, USA Adapted by adaptor

"Writing with the clarity and precision of a dolphin’s clicks, Grebowicz covers the history of the sometimes-futile attempts by humans to communicate with whales, dolphins, and other ocean dwellers. Humans could learn much from the dispassionate language of these creatures."

Alvin Lucier The sapiens of the sea, whales are the other intelligent, social, and loquacious animal. But they seem to swim away the more people chase after them in an effort to communicate and connect. Why does the meaning of their mesmerizing songs continue to elude us? In times of unprecedented environmental and social loss, Whale Song ponders the problems facing ocean ecosystems and offers lessons from those depths for human social life and intimacy.

High Heel

Carol J. Adams, Activist and Freelance Author, USA

Summer Brennan, Freelance Writer, USA

Adapted by adaptor

The burger, long the All-American meal, is undergoing an identity crisis. From its shifting place in popular culture to the efforts, by investors such as Bill Gates, to seek to find the non-animal burger that can feed the world, the burger’s identity has become as malleable as that patty of protein itself, before it is thrown on a grill. Carol J. Adams’s Burger is a fast-paced and eclectic exploration of the history, business, cultural dynamics, and gender politics of the ordinary hamburger.

Luggage Susan Harlan, Wake Forest University, USA Adapted by adaptor

Adapted by adaptor

Fetishized, demonized, celebrated and outlawed, the high heel is central to the iconography of modern womanhood. But are high heels good? Are they feminist? Meditating on the labyrinthine nature of sexual identity and the performance of gender, High Heel moves from film to fairy tale, from footbinding to feminism, and from the golden ratio to glam rock. It considers this most provocative of fashion accessories as a nexus of desire and struggle, sex and society, setting out to understand what it means to be a woman by walking a few hundred years in her shoes.

Rust Jean-Michel Rabaté, University of Pennsylvania, USA

You can’t think about travel without thinking about luggage. And baggage has baggage. Susan Harlan’s Luggage takes readers on a journey with the suitcases that support, accessorize, and tour with our globalized lives. The materials of travel— the suitcases, carry-on bags, totes, trunks, and train cases of the past and present—tell stories about displacement, home, gender, class, consumption, and labor.

Luggage shapes travel, and the way it has shaped travel has changed over time. This book is an inquiry into bags as carefully curated microcosms of our domestic and professional lives. A suitcase contains more than you might think.

Rust: it’s happening all the time, all around us.

We cover it up. We ignore it. Jean-Michel Rabaté’s Rust takes on the multitudinous meanings that this oxidized substance can hold, and shows how technology can bleed into biology and ecology.

Rust blends eco-criticism with a post-Benjaminian allegorization of technology, ranging across art, autobiography, and science studies to explore the author’s own fascination with peeling paints and rusty metal sheets as the interpenetration between the organic and the inorganic.

Souvenir Rolf Potts, Freelance Writer, USA Adapted by adaptor

For as long as people have traveled to distant lands, they have brought home objects to certify the journey. More than mere merchandise, these travel souvenirs take on a personal and cultural meaning that goes beyond the objects themselves.

Drawing on several millennia of examples—from the relic-driven quests of early Christians, to the mass-produced tchotchkes that line the shelves of a Disney gift shop—travel writer Rolf Potts delves into a complicated history that explores issues of authenticity, cultural obligation, empire, market forces, and self-presentation. More than just objects, souvenirs are a personalized form of folk storytelling that enable us to make sense of the world and our place in it.

Ceaseless Music

Jonathan Dollimore, Independent Scholar, UK

Sounding Wordsworth’s The Prelude

Adapted by adaptor

"...a rich, sad, wise book." Edmund White, author of Our Young Man For more than thirty years Jonathan Dollimore has been one of contemporary culture's most influential critics of politics, literature, and sexuality. Fifty years after the Sexual Offences Act of 1967 decriminalised homosexual acts, Dollimore explores, in, through and beyond the gay sub-cultures of cities like New York, Brighton and Sydney, what the new freedoms meant for him and others in the following decades. Desire: A Memoir, a hybrid of autobiography, meditation and philosophical reflection, explores the existential sources of his writing.

Through a series of poetic responses and critical reflections, Ceaseless Music explores the afterlives of Wordsworth’s landmark autobiographical poem The Prelude in literature, philosophy and life writing, together with the insights it can offer into the writing of poetry today.

Beginning with an exploration of the poem’s genesis, from draft versions found in Wordsworth’s notebooks onwards, the book goes on to sound out The Prelude’s radical versions of selfhood through its attention to the ‘musics’ of place and of experience.

"With extraordinary skill, insight and intellectual dexterity, Christopher Norris has reinvented the poetry of ideas for our time." Terry Eagleton, University of Lancaster, UK

A unique coming together of poetry, art and criticism, Orpheus and Eurydice explores the myth’s impact through a graphic-poetic reconstruction of the story. Including critical reflections from leading thinkers, writers and critics, this is a compelling exploration of the enduring power of this tale.

This path-breaking book explores different ways in which writing about poetry can deepen and extend our critical engagement by deploying creatively the manifold resources of poetic language and form. Through a series of verse-essays, reflective monologues, and inventive variations on topics in literary theory The Winnowing Fan makes a strong case for revising received ideas about the scope and limits of criticism.

Bringing together reflections by leading contemporary scholars, Dead Theory explores the afterlives of the work of the great theorists and the current state of Theory today. Considering the work of thinkers such as Derrida, Deleuze, and Levinas, the book explores the ways in which Theory has long been haunted by death and how it might endure for the future.

Exploring in particular the writings of Kant and those who followed after, including Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche, Paul Gordon contends that art solves the problem of how one can “know” the absolute in non-conceptual, non-discursive terms.

Adapted by adaptor

Adapted by adaptor

The reputation of the Marquis de Sade is wellfounded. Violence and sexuality appear on almost every page, and these descriptions are interspersed with extended discourses on materialism, atheism, and crime. William S. Allen sets out the context and the implications of Sade's writings in order to demonstrate their lasting significance. Allen shows that Sade’s interests in philosophy and science lead to a form of writing that seeks to bring about a new kind of individual, the libertine, who is committed to exploring the limits of human experience as a demonstration of materialism.

Women's Experimental Writing Negative Aesthetics and Feminist Critique Ellen E. Berry, Bowling Green State University, USA Adapted by adaptor

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

Including historical and literary timelines and biographical summaries of major authors, the Decades series is a crucial reference point for the progressive development of contemporary British fiction, not only as a literary and cultural phenomenon, but as an academic field.

For more than 40 years London-based writer, filmmaker and ‘psychogeographer’ Iain Sinclair has proved to be one of the most incisive commentators on the contemporary city: tracing the emerging contours of a metropolis where the meeting of global and local is never without incident. Iain Sinclair: Noise, Neoliberalism and the Matter of London explores Sinclair’s investigations into the nature of conflicting urban realities through an examination of the ways in which the noise of neoliberal excess intersects with the noise of literary experiment. In this way, the book casts new light on theorisations of the city in the contemporary era.

South African Literature's Russian Soul Narrative Forms of Global Isolation Jeanne-Marie Jackson, Connecticut College, USA Adapted by adaptor

"Breaks genuinely new ground in the study of the postcolonial novel." Katie Trumpener, Yale University, USA In this book, Jeanne-Marie Jackson demonstrates how Russian writing’s “Golden Age” in the troubled nineteenth-century has served as a model for South African writers both during and after apartheid. Exploring these two isolated literary cultures alongside each other, the book challenges the limits of ‘global’ methodologies in contemporary literary studies and outdated models of centerperiphery relations to argue for a more locally involved scale of literary enquiry with more truly global horizons.

Sebastian Groes offers a re-examination of canonical writers such as Iris Murdoch, Angela Carter, Muriel Spark and John Fowles and avant-garde writers including Ann Quinn, Bridget Brophy, Eva Figes, Christine Brooke-Rose, and J.

Gertrude Stein in Europe Reconfigurations Across Media, Disciplines, and Traditions Edited by Sarah Posman, University of Ghent, Belgium & Laura Luise Schultz, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Adapted by adaptor

This book demonstrates that the political positions surrounding birth control have roots in literary concerns, specifically those of modernist writers. Aimee Wilson argues not only that they exerted a lasting influence on the way activists framed the emerging politics of contraception, but that birth control activism helped shape some of modernism’s most innovative concepts.

Although often hailed as a ‘quintessentially American’ writer, the modernist poet, novelist and playwright Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) spent most of her life in France. With chapters written by leading international scholars, Gertrude Stein in Europe is the first sustained exploration of the European artistic and intellectual networks in which Stein’s work was first developed and circulated. Exploring the European contexts of and influences on Stein's writing, this book opens up new perspectives on Stein as a writer and on the centrality of artistic and intellectual networks to European modernism.

Narratives of Nothing in 20thCentury Literature

Number and Narrative in Modern Fiction Adapted by adaptor

Literary Infinities analyses the connection between the late 19th-century revolution in the mathematics of the infinite and the literature of 20th-century modernism. Baylee Brits considers the role of numbers and the concept of the infinite in key modernists, including James Joyce, Italo Svevo, Jorge Luis Borges, Samuel Beckett and J.M. Coetzee. This 'modernist' infinity is shown to undergird key innovations in narrative form, bridging the mathematical and the literary, presentation and representation, formalism and the tactile imagination.

Literatures as World Literature Series Editor: Thomas Oliver Beebee, Penn State University, USA Literatures as World Literature takes a novel approach to world literature by analyzing specific constellations—according to language, nation, form, or theme—of literary texts and authors in their worldliterary dimensions. World literature has been mapped and theorized in the abstract, but the majority of critical work, the filling in of what has been traced, lies ahead of us. Literatures as World Literature begins the task of filling in the devilish details by allowing scholars to move outward from their own area of specialization. The hope is to foster scholarly writing that approaches more closely the polyphonic, multiperspectival nature of the world literature we wish to explore.

From Paris to Tlön Surrealism as World Literature Delia Ungureanu, Harvard University, USA Adapted by adaptor

"With its compelling blend of cultural history, literary analysis, and scholarly detective work, From Paris to Tlön belongs in every surrealist's flea market and every comparatist's library." David Damrosch, Harvard University, USA From Paris to Tlön gives a fresh account of surrealism's surprising success, exploring the process of artistic transfer by which the surrealist object rapidly evolved from a purely poetic conception to a mainstay of surrealist visual art and then a key element in late modernist and postmodern fiction, from Borges and Nabokov to such disparate writers as Gabriel García Márquez, Haruki Murakami, and Orhan Pamuk in the 21st century.

Romanian Literature as World Literature Edited by Mircea Martin, University of Bucharest, Romania, Christian Moraru, University of North Carolina, Greensboro, USA & Andrei Terian, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, Romania Adapted by adaptor

This volume develops a range of geopolitical readings of texts, moments, and trends in the modern history of Romanian literature. The contributors place their object at the crossroads of regions and styles in order to draw conclusions whose relevance extends beyond Romanian, Romance, and East European worlds. The critics' “intersectional” revisiting of this particular literature, they contend, applies to most if not all national literatures. In fact, this case study is likely to bring into view aspects of world literature that the study of better-known cultures has revealed to a lesser extent.

American Literature as World Literature Edited by Jeffrey R. Di Leo, University of Houston-Victoria, USA Adapted by adaptor

For better or worse, America lives in the age of “worlded” literature. Not the world literature of nations and nationalities considered from most powerful and wealthy to the least. And not the world literature found with a map. Rather, the worlded literature of individuals crossing borders, mixing stories, and speaking in dialect.

The worlded literature of the multinational corporate publishing industry where the global market is all. The essays in this collection, from some of the most distinguished figures in American studies and literature, explores what it means to consider American literature as world literature.

Brazilian Literature as World Literature Edited by Eduardo F. Coutinho, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Adapted by adaptor

Brazilian Literature as World Literature is not simply an introduction to Brazilian literature but also a study of the connections between Brazil's literary production and that of the rest of the world, particularly European and North American literatures. The contributors offer comparative approaches between some of its greatest exponents and canonic authors of world literature. They also highlight the tension that has always existed in Brazilian literature between the imitation of European models and forms and a yearning for a tradition of its own, as well as modernist attempts to overcome this tension.

Postcolonial Parabola Literature, Tactility, and the Ethics of Representing Trauma Jay Rajiva, Georgia State University, USA Adapted by adaptor

"Jay Rajiva's illuminating and engaging book makes a valuable contribution to postcolonial trauma studies. It manages to stand out in this increasingly crowded field thanks to its novel methodology and fresh comparative approach, productively connecting narratives bearing witness to South Asian and South African historical tragedies." Stef Craps, Ghent University, Belgium Postcolonial Parabola interrogates the relationship between the literary representation of postcolonial trauma and the embodied experience of reading postcolonial literature. Rajiva argues that these texts enmesh the reader in an asymptotic tactility: though the reader might approach the disclosure of trauma, he cannot arrive at it.

The Introspective Art of Mark Twain Douglas Anderson, University of Georgia, USA

The Poetics of Wonder in Modern American Novels

Adapted by adaptor

Lee Clark Mitchell, Princeton University, USA

"The best we have on Mark Twain's lifelong interest in consciousness and the motions of the mind. With graceful, thorough attention to the historical record, Anderson situates him convincingly in the era of William James and the birth of modern psychology." Bruce Michelson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA

"Mere Reading sparkles with quicksilver insights that wait around every bend of Lee Mitchell's argument. He continually reminds us that what we find in the best American fiction is far messier, fresher and more puzzling than most critics are willing to admit."

Michael Kowalewski, Carleton College, USA

Seeking to trace the development of Mark Twain's imagination, Douglas Anderson begins near the end, with the long dialogue What Is Man? that Twain published anonymously in 1906. Anderson follows the contours of that story as it unfolds over Twain's career, drawing on his autobiographical and travel writings, essays, letters, and little-known works, as well as his monumental works of literature.

Mere Reading argues for a return to the foundations of literary study established nearly a century ago. Mitchell offers close readings of six American novels in order to trace a shifting strain of modernist innovation that celebrates a species of magic and wonder, of aesthetic “bliss” that dumbfounds the reader and compels a reassessment of interpretive assumptions.

David Foster Wallace: Fiction and Form David Hering, University of Liverpool, UK Adapted by adaptor

"An exhilarating read ... [It] represents the most significant step forward in Wallace studies for at least a decade." Adam Kelly, University of York, UK Incorporating extensive analysis of Wallace's drafts, notes and letters, and taking account of the growing field of Wallace scholarship, David Hering argues that the form of Wallace's fiction is always inextricably bound up within an ongoing conflict between the monologic and the dialogic. The final chapter offers an unprecedentedly detailed analysis of the troubled, decadelong construction of the work that became The Pale King.

Kerouac Language, Poetics, and Territory Hassan Melehy, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA Adapted by adaptor

"A groundbreaking analysis of Kerouac's vexed relationship to his Québécois ancestry and his experience of exile from his own history." Timothy Hampton, University of California at Berkeley, USA

This is the first book on the most pervasive religious trope in all Cormac McCarthy's works: the image of sacrament, and in particular, of eucharist. Informed by postmodern theories of narrative and Christian theologies of sacrament, Matthew Potts provides new readings of Cormac McCarthy's major novels, arguing that their dark moral significance coheres with the Christian theological tradition in difficult, demanding ways.

Of the numerous books written about Kerouac, few have seriously examined his relationship to the French language and the reason for his bilingualism, the Québec Diaspora. Hassan Melehy explores how Kerouac's poetics of exile involves meditations on moving between territories and languages.

Humor in Modern American Poetry Edited by Rachel Trousdale, Framingham State University, USA Adapted by adaptor

"This collection makes a giant leap in the right direction. It analyses humor not as a side-effect from the so-called main business of modernist poetics, but as one of modern poetry's most significant concerns." Jonathan Ellis, University of Sheffield, UK Humor in Modern American Poetry shows that modern poetry is full of humorous moments, from comic verse published in popular magazines to the absurd juxtapositions of The Cantos. Humor is as essential to the serious work of Wallace Stevens as it is to the light verse of Dorothy Parker. It can be used to claim poetic authority, re-define literary tradition, make political attacks, and, surprisingly, promote sympathy among readers.

Leslie Marmon Silko's Almanac of the Dead OTHERWISE, REVOLUTION!

Rebecca Tillett, University of East Anglia, UK Adapted by adaptor

Leslie Marmon Silko's 1991 novel Almanac of the Dead is a profound and challenging analysis of late capitalist society and how powerful minority elites ensure that their power is never challenged nor shared, through the complicit discourses of imperialism, patriarchy, religion, medicine, science and technology.

Rebecca Tillett assesses the continued relevance of Almanac's vision of oppressive capitalism. Perhaps most importantly, this study provides a groundbreaking reading of Almanac for the 21st century, comparing Silko's activist armies with international popular social justice activism such as the Arab Spring and the international Occupy movement.

Telling in Henry James

After the Stasi Collaboration and the Struggle for Sovereign Subjectivity in the Writing of German Unification Annie Ring, University of Cambridge, UK Adapted by adaptor

After the Stasi uncovers how writers from the German unification to the present day have explored collaboration as a challenge to the sovereignty of subjectivity. Ring interweaves analysis of literary fiction and life-writing by former Stasi spies and victims with archive documents, new readings from literary modernism and cultural theories of the self. Whilst considering the shift in the East German writing following 1989, Ring provocatively suggests that writers' accounts of collaboration under the Stasi attest to a less-thansovereign subjectivity. Such a notion is crucial for understanding the complicities to which we continue to consent in the capitalist present.

New Directions in German Studies Series Editor: Imke Meyer, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA A long and venerable tradition of "Germanistik" has been opened up in exciting ways in the past few decades. The series taps into that tradition and its growth into German Studies, incorporating interdisciplinary approaches to the analysis of the rich intellectual and cultural histories of the German-speaking countries. It showcases projects focusing on hitherto underrepresented authors as well as those that seek to reframe canonical works in light of new perspectives and methodologies.

Building Socialism Architecture and Urbanism in East German Literature, 1955-1973 Curtis Swope, Trinity University, USA Adapted by adaptor

"Curtis Swope offers intriguing close readings of the GDR's literary imagination of architecture based on rich sources with an international scope.

This book will shape the study of the GDR—I was unable to put it down until I had read the last page." Barbara Mennel, University of Florida, USA Building Socialism reveals how East German writers' engagement with the rapidly changing built environment from the mid-1950s to the early 1970s constitutes an untold story about the emergence of literary experimentation in the post-War period. It explores the centrality of architecture to modernist literature in dialogue with literary and left-wing theoretical traditions and with international assessments of modernist architecture and urban planning.

This volume offers a new psycho-sociological perspective on the narrative works of Arthur Schnitzler. While the relationship between the terms "stereotype" and "destiny" is by no means immediately obvious, Kolkenbrock shows how these notions serve as an interrelated coping mechanism for a central psychological conflict of modernity: namely, the paradoxical need to be recognized as both "normal" and "special" at the same time. While Schnitzler's narrative works address central questions of identity and subjecthood, Kolkenbrock's close readings also reveal how the texts inscribe themselves aesthetically in the literary tradition of Romanticism and offer crucial sources for understanding Schnitzler's representations of embattled subjecthood.

German Realism, Displacement and Modernity

Adapted by adaptor

"Truly novel in its approach and refreshing for its ecumenical breadth. This is a courageous, life-affirming book that does not shy away from addressing the topics of commitment and the connections of the heart." Alice Kuzniar, University of Waterloo, Canada The questions Goethe's plays and novels pose are often modern and challenging: Do social conventions, family expectations, and legal mandates matter? Gustafson's close analysis shows that Goethe rejected loveless relationships (for example, arranged marriages) and accepted and promoted all relationships formed through spontaneous affinities and love (including heterosexual, same-sex, bisexual, group, parental, and adoptive).

"Lyon's rigorous but engagingly written book makes a significant contribution to scholarship in re-assessing 19th-century German Realism as a pioneering literary movement anticipating 20thcentury modernism and philosophical debates about place and space in society." Monatshefte Out of Place analyzes the works of three major representatives of German Realism—Wilhelm Raabe, Theodor Fontane, and Gottfried Keller—situating the perceived loss of place evident in their texts within the contemporary discourse of housing and urban reform, as well as through the lens of 20th-century theories of place. Lyon highlights the struggle to address issues of place and space that reappear today in debates about environmentalism, transnationalism, globalization, and regionalism.

The Gospel According to the Novelist Religious Scripture and Contemporary Fiction Magdalena Maczynska, Marymount Manhattan College, USA Adapted by adaptor

"Highly recommended." CHOICE Why have so many prominent literary authors—from Philip Pullman and José Saramago to Michèle Roberts and Colm Tóibín—recently rewritten the canonical story of Jesus Christ? What does that say about our supposedly secular age? In this insightful study, Magdalena Maczynska defines and examines the genre of scriptural metafiction: novels that not only transform religious texts but also draw attention to these transformations. In addition to providing rich examples and close readings, Maczynska positions literary studies within interdisciplinary debates about religion and secularity.

Times Literary Supplement Jewish Feeling explores how Jewish women writers such as Amy Levy and Grace Aguilar developed a distinctive approach to literary form that contrasted with mainstream Victorian literary appeals to feeling by way of sentimentality and psychological manipulation in the work of novelists such as George Eliot.

Beyond the Willing Suspension of Disbelief

Sufism in Western Literature, Art and Thought

Poetic Faith from Coleridge to Tolkien

From Modernism to Postmodernism

Michael Tomko, Villanova University, USA

Adapted by adaptor

Adapted by adaptor

"Elegantly written, theologically informed, this is top-level critical theory." Catholic Herald Samuel Taylor Coleridge's conception of "the willing suspension of disbelief" marks a pivotal moment in the history of literary theory. Returning to Coleridge's criticism to reconstruct this idea as a form of "poetic faith", Michael Tomko lays the foundations of a new theologically-oriented mode of literary criticism. Bringing Coleridge into dialogue with other writers from Augustine to I.A. Richards, Terry Eagleton and J.R.R. Tolkein, Beyond the Willing Suspension of Disbelief offers a post-secular literary criticism that is not only historically and politically aware but also engaged with aesthetic form.

Sufism in Western Literature, Art and Thought explores the many dialogues and intersections between the language and ideas of Sufism and the key figures of 20th- and 21st-century art, literature and philosophy. Focussing on the many exchanges and the rich relationships that these intersections have created from the modernist to the postmodernist period, the book covers such writers, thinkers and artists as Jacques Derrida, Joris-Karl Huysmans, Salman Rushdie, Doris Lessing and Philip K. Dick.

Faith in Poetry Verse Style as a Mode of Religious Belief

The Bible in the American Short Story Lesleigh Cushing Stahlberg, Colgate University, USA & Peter S. Hawkins, Yale University Divinity School, USA Adapted by adaptor

In a series of accessible chapters, Lesleigh Cushing Stahlberg and Peter S. Hawkins pair close-readings of short stories by leading contemporary writers such as Flannery O'Connor, Philip Roth, Tobias Woolf and Julia Valdez Quade with examinations of the biblical passages that they reference. Exploring episodes from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament and both Jewish and Christian heritages, this book is an important contribution to understanding the influence of the Bible in contemporary literature.

Michael D. Hurley, St. Catharine's College, University of Cambridge, UK Adapted by adaptor

In Faith in Poetry, Michael D. Hurley explores how five great writers engaged their religious faith in poetry, with a view to asking why they chose that literary form in the first place. Hurley considers both how their poetry achieved things that other kinds of language or expression could not and whether their poetry itself operated as a unique mode of believing. The book sheds light on the interplay between literature and theology across the long 19th century, at a time when the authority and practice of both was being fiercely reimagined.

Much Ado About Nothing: Language and Writing

King Richard III: Language and Writing

Indira Ghose, University of Fribourg, Switzerland

Rebecca Lemon, University of Southern California, USA

Adapted by adaptor

Much Ado About Nothing presents a world of glittering surfaces and exquisite social performances. The language of the play sparkles with a fireworks of wit and dazzling bouts of repartee, most memorably in the "merry war" of words between the reluctant lovers, Benedick and Beatrice. A closer look at the language of the play, however, reveals it to be laced with violence and charged with the desire to humiliate others. This study guide focuses on examining the array of the uses of language that the play displays, and probes into the ideas about language that it explores.

King Richard III depicts the rise, reign and fall of the ruthless Duke of Gloucester. Shakespeare presents a masterful study in the language of deception and manipulation in the character of Richard who lies, persuades and kills on his path to the throne. This study guide provides insight into the rhetoric of key speeches and pays specific attention to the changing perceptions of King Richard III in history and art. The final section of this volume focuses on giving students the necessary tools and skills needed for writing an effective and comprehensive essay.

Shakespeare and Cultural Materialist Theory Christopher Marlow, University of Lincoln, UK Adapted by adaptor

Cultural materialism is one of the most important and one of the most provocative theories to have emerged in the last thirty years. Combining close attention to Shakespearean texts and the conditions of their production with an explicit left-wing political affiliation, cultural materialism offers readers a radical avenue through which to engage with Shakespeare and his world.

Shakespeare and Cultural Materialist Theory charts the inception and development of this theory, setting out its central tenets and analysing the work of key thinkers such as Alan Sinfield, Jonathan Dollimore, Terence Hawkes and Catherine Belsey.

Queer Shakespeare draws together 13 essays, which offer a major reassessment of criticism on desire and sexuality in Shakespeare. Bringing together some of the most prominent critics working at the intersection of Shakespeare studies and queer criticism, this collection shows that queer Shakespeare studies is an especially vibrant scholarly field. Taken together, these essays treat Shakespeare as the key object of analysis producing concepts and ideas that draw power from a focussed study of language and objects as embodiments of queerness.

This volume of essays contributes to current debates about Shakespeare in new media. It importantly develops the field by providing a comparativist approach to Shakespeare’s dynamic media history. Contributors to Broadcast Your Shakespeare address the variety of ways Shakespeare texts have been expressed through different media and continue to be. Writing at the intersection of Shakespeare studies and media studies, these international contributors also consider the role of a particular media in producing Shakespeare’s effect on us - as readers, viewers and users.

The Art of Law in Shakespeare Temporality, Genre and Experience in the Age of Shakespeare Forms of Time Edited by Lauren Shohet, Villanova University, USA Adapted by adaptor

Focusing on Shakespeare and his contemporaries, these original essays by leading scholars explore how theatrical, aesthetic, and linguistic forms engage early modern experiences of temporality.

Encompassing comedy, tragedy, history, and romance, some contributions consider how different models of pastness, presentness, sequentiality, memory, and historical meaning underwrite particular representational practices. Others, conversely, investigate how aesthetic forms afforded diverse ways for early-modern people to understand or experience time - and how this can impact us today.

Paul Raffield, University of Warwick, UK Adapted by adaptor

Through an examination of five plays by Shakespeare, Paul Raffield analyses the development of common law and poetic drama during the first decade of Jacobean rule. The broad premise of The Art of Law in Shakespeare is that the ‘artificial reason’ of law was a complex art form that shared the same rhetorical strategy as the plays of Shakespeare. Each chapter investigates a particular aspect of the common law, seen through the lens of a specific play by Shakespeare.
