    "This collection brings together for the first time select works in English by the major Swedish modernist poet and critic Göran Printz-Påhlson. It was Printz-Påhlson who introduced poetic modernism to Scandinavia, and his essays and poems delve deeply into English, American, and continental modernist traditions. As well as Letters of Blood, the collection includes the full text of "The Words of the Tribe", a major statement on modern poetics, in which Printz-Påhlson explores the significance of primitivism in Romanticism and Modernism, and the nature of metaphor and literary materialism. The collection also includes essays on style, irony, realism, and the relationship between historical drama and historical fiction, as well as studies of American poetry. Printz-Påhlson's poetry in English continues to explore these themes by different, often surprisingly innovative, means."--Publisher's description.

    This volume collects contributions about Brazilian reception of Greek myths, the more relevant in literary and performative perspective: Antigone, Medea, the Trojan cycle, and Alcestis. With great names of Brazilian literature - as Jorge Andrade and Nelson Rodrigues -, you will find others not so well known, but very influential in this specific area of classical reception and well accepted by modern audiences. The collection of these materials is innovative and only possible with the collaboration of two Brazilian teams, one under the coordination of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and the other of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte), two prestigious universities in the country for Classical and Reception Studies.

    This collection of essays studies the encounter between allegedly ahistorical concepts of narratology and eighteenth-century literature. It questions whether the general concepts of narratology are as such applicable to historically specific fields, or whether they need further specification. Furthermore, at issue is the question whether the theoretical concepts actually are, despite their appearance of ahistorical generality, derived from the historical study of a particular period and type of literature. In the essays such concepts as genre, plot, character, event, tellability, perspective, temporality, description, reading, metadiegetic narration, and paratext are scrutinized in the context of eighteenth-century texts. The writers include some of the leading theorists of both narratology and eighteenth-century literature.

    "The aim of this collection is to make possible the forging of a more robust, politically useful, and theoretically elaborate understanding of working-class literature(s). These essays map a substantial terrain: the history of working-class literature(s) in Russia/The Soviet Union, The USA, Finland, Sweden, The UK, and Mexico. Together they give a complex and comparative – albeit far from comprehensive – picture of working-class literature(s) from an international perspective, without losing sight of national specificities. By capturing a wide range of definitions and literatures, this collection gives a broad and rich picture of the many-facetted phenomenon of working-class literature(s), disrupts narrow understandings of the concept and phenomenon, as well as identifies and discusses some of the most important theoretical and historical questions brought to the fore by the study of this literature. If read as stand-alone chapters, each contribution gives an overview of the history and research of a particular nation’s working-class literature. If read as an edited collection (which we hope you do), they contribute toward a more complex understanding of the global phenomenon of working-class literature(s)."

    A theory of prose does not exist yet. This volume aims to free prose from its invisibility as a medium for forms or genres devoid of characteristics. It redefines prose as a structure that works in latency, as a mysterious movement, but above all as poetic self-reference. These contributions combine this interest with in-depth exegeses on texts by Joyce, Mayröcker, Wühr, Lentz, and others. Eine Theorie der Prosa existiert nicht, als interpretationsleitender Terminus wird ›Prosa‹ im begrifflichen Register der Literaturwissenschaften kaum benutzt. Der vorliegende Band folgt dem Leitgedanken, Prosa aus der Unsichtbarkeit, nur eigenschaftsloses Medium für Formen oder Gattungen zu sein, zu befreien. Als in der Latenz arbeitende literarische Struktur, als Rätselbewegung in den Texten, vor allem aber als poetische Selbstreferenz wird der Prosabegriff neuen Bestimmungen zugeführt. Die Aufsätze dieses Bandes verbinden dieses theoretische Interesse mit vertiefenden Exegesen zu Texten von James Joyce, Friedrike Mayröcker, Paul Wühr, Michael Lentz und anderen.

    This collection of essays redefines what gothic has become in the contemporary world, examining the idea of an emerging gothic that is inextricable from the broader global context in which it circulates. Globalgothic expands the horizons of the genre in diverse new and exciting ways. ‘The dead travel fast and, in our contemporary globalised world, so too does the gothic.’ Examining how gothic has been globalised and globalisation made gothic, this collection of essays explores an emerging globalgothic that is simultaneously a continuation of the western tradition and a wholesale transformation of that tradition which expands the horizons of the gothic in diverse new and exciting ways.

    Globalgothic contains essays from some of the leading scholars in gothic studies as well as offering insights from new scholars in the field. The contributors consider a wide range of different media, including literary texts, film, dance, music, cyberculture, computer games, and graphic novels.

    This book will be essential reading for all students and academics interested in the gothic, in international literature, cinema, and cyberspace. This collection of essays redefines what gothic has become in the contemporary world, examining the idea of an emerging gothic that is inextricable from the broader global context in which it circulates. Simultaneously a continuation of the western tradition and a wholesale transformation of that tradition, ‘globalgothic’ expands the horizons of the genre in diverse new and exciting ways.

    As these essays well demonstrate, gothic has energetically participated in the cultural flows that characterise globalisation. One of the more striking features of western gothic has always been its delight in consuming and recycling certain persistent motifs, and these flows have functioned both to reinvigorate and intensify this tendency by opening up multiple new fields of play. At the same time as it takes full advantage of the transcultural flows, however, globalgothic often exploits the flows precisely in order to give form to anxieties attendant upon the processes of globalisation. While the products made available through globalisation are eagerly appropriated, they are frequently exploited in order to articulate the processes of globalisation as monstrous, spectral, cannibalistic. Globalisation itself becomes a gothic manifestation.

    Globalgothic contains essays from some of the leading scholars in gothic studies as well as offering insights from new scholars in the field. The contributors consider a wide range of different media, including literary texts, film, dance, music, cyberculture, computer games, and graphic novels.

    This book will be essential reading for all students and academics interested in the gothic, in international literature, cinema, and cyberspace.

    Moving effortlessly from Greek to Shakespearean tragedies, to nineteenth and twentieth-century British, American and Russian drama, and fiction and contemporary television, this study sheds new light on the art of comedy. "We might have thought that wish and fear are safely in one category, logic in quite another. But in La Farge's absorbing, conceptually engaged, and highly cultivated compact book, we see that these categories in truth interconnect in unexpected and humanely enlightening ways. Similarly, the entrenched genres of comedy, romance, and tragedy - along with La Farge's new player, 'mythic fiction' - enter into wonderfully nuanced relationships as well in this thoroughly readable, engrossing, and lucid study... A remarkably rich mosaic that shows us - in short form but packing a punch - a great deal about the wondrously intricate ways in which literature is a tool with which we make sense of our lives." - Garry L. Hagberg, James H. Ottaway Jr. Professor of Aesthetics and Philosophy, Bard College, USA, and author of Describing Ourselves: Wittgenstein and Autobiographical Consciousness and Editor of the journal Philosophy and Literature "With the utmost clarity, precision and rigor, Ben La Farge presents us with fresh, indeed exciting thinking about the 'emotional logic' of comedy, romance, tragedy and what he calls 'mythic fiction.' Building upon Aristotle, Hegel, Northrop Frye and Auden, yet marking important paths of his own, he makes a necessary and permanent contribution to our understanding of genre and the master stories of our lives. This is a distinguished study indeed, a perfect fusion of theory and practice, the fruit of serious contemplation and exuberant interrogation." - Elizabeth Frank, Author of the 1986 Pulitzer Prize biography Louise Bogan: A Portrait, and the 2004 novel Cheat and Charmer.

    Confronted with apartheid, dictatorship or the sheer scale of global economics, realism can no longer function with the certainties of the nineteenth century. Free Realist Style considers how the style of the realist novel changes as its epistemological horizons narrow. "Exploring a truly timely topic, Nicholas Robinette's analysis intercedes in a set of conversations about the relation between form and politics in 20th century Anglophone literature, with particular attention to what we now call literatures of the Global South. Scholars of postcolonial studies will greatly benefit from Robinette's insightful and important intervention." - Susan Z. Andrade, Associate Professor of English, University of Pittsburgh, USA.

    Pointing the way toward a revitalized future for the study of literature, Reconstruction in Literary Studies draws on philosophical pragmatism to justify the academic study of literature. In turn, Vescio connects the changing field to its social function as an institution. "A clear, fair-minded, lively, and above all persuasive attempt to reinvent criticism. A splendid book." - Mark Edmundson, University Professor of English, University of Virginia, USA 'A concise and clear writer, Vescio explores an urgent topic for us in the humanities, especially in the literary humanities: it is the loss of confidence that we have experienced in recent years. Complex and multifarious as its theoretical concerns may be, this book could be read and understood by an intelligent undergraduate while retaining an importance for even the most senior of scholars.' - David Gorman, Associate Professor of English, Northern Illinois University, USA.

    Considering new perspectives on writers such as Toni Morrison, Margaret Atwood, and Louise Erdrich, Confronting Visuality in Multi-ethnic Women's Writing traces a cross-cultural tradition in which contemporary female writers situate images of women within larger contexts of visuality. "Through a thoughtful and sophisticated yet accessible argument, Angela Laflen uses feminism, cultural studies, and critical race theories to examine a wide range of visual representations and their effects in literature by well-known authors, such as Toni Morrison and Margaret Atwood, as well as some up and coming ethnic writers." - Eleanor Ty, Professor of English, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada, and author of Unfastened:Globality and Asian North American Narratives and The Politics of the Visible.

    Compromise and Resistance in Postcolonial Writing offers a new critical approach to E. M. Forster's legacy. It examines key themes in Forster's work (homosexuality, humanism, modernism, liberalism) and their relevance to post-imperial and postcolonial novels by important contemporary writers. "Compromise and Resistance in Postcolonial Writing is an illuminating study of Forster's legacies that offers a range of probing insights into his cosmopolitan humanism and its challenge to normative ideologies. It will be essential reading for Forster scholars and anyone interested in the discursive transformations that occur when postcolonial writers engage with canonical texts." - Professor John Thieme, University of East Anglia, UK.

    In a fresh reading of Gulliver's Travels and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Atkins draws parallels between the protagonists: both Lemuel Gulliver and Stephen Dedalus flee from the burdens of life, seeking a transcendent existence. The study sheds important new light on both novels as essential critiques of modern misunderstandings. "In an engaging, accessible manner, G. Douglas Atkins re-examines Gulliver's Travels and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in light of Atkins's understanding of the Christian concept of the Incarnation, an understanding deeply influenced by his study of T.S. Eliot. Atkins' well-written study will likely appeal to a wide audience including Swift, Joyce, and Eliot scholars, as well as academic readers more generally." - Bruce Bashford, Associate Professor of English Emeritus, Stony Brook University, USA.

    New Formalist Criticism defines and theorizes a mode of formalist criticism that is theoretically compatible with current thinking about literature and theory. New formalism anticipates a move in literary studies back towards the text and, in so doing, establishes itself as one of the most exciting areas of contemporary critical theory.

    Contemporary African Literature in English explores the contours of representation in contemporary Anglophone African literature, drawing on a wide range of authors including Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Aminatta Forna, Brian Chikwava, Nguga?- wa Thiong'o, Nuruddin Farah and Chris Abani. "Scholars of contemporary anglophone African fiction will be grateful to Madhu Krishnan for balancing close readings of a number of significant texts with careful attention to their conditions of publication and reception. Krishnan illuminates both the ethical and aesthetic concerns of important world writers and the conditions under which works marked as 'African' enter the world." - Andrew van der Vlies, Queen Mary University of London, UK.
