Using Digital Humanities in the ClassroomA Practical Introduction for Teachers, Lecturers, and StudentsClaire Battershill, Simon Fraser University, Canada & Shawna Ross, Texas A&M University, USA

Roundly praised for its pragmatic and accessible approach, the first edition of Using Digital Humanities in the Classroom became a go-to guide for experienced digital humanists and novices alike. Retaining the original's clear, pedagogically grounded approach, this second edition - updated throughout and with a significant amount of new material - provides readers with an up-to-date set of recommendations and further critical commentary on current debates in DH pedagogy, helping a fresh wave of scholars to use digital tools and resources in the humanities classroom.

Craft Consciousness and Artistic Practice in Creative WritingBen Ristow, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, USACraft Consciousness and Artistic Practice in Creative Writing follows Richard Sennett’s notion of "making is thinking". Reframing craft as a "material consciousness" rather than formalistic logics and

techniques taught by makers that teach, this book restores the virtue of craft for artist-teachers. With research drawn from 25 interviews with artists across material and intellectual boundaries including architecture, painting, dance, music, writing, pottery, textiles, and woodworking, Ben Ristow puts these practitioners in conversation with each other to suggest that craft consciousness is foundational to developing an artistic identity and practice.

Reclaiming the Disabled SubjectRepresenting Disability in Short Fiction (Volume 1)Edited by Someshwar Sati, Delhi University, India, GJV Prasad, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India & Ritwick BhattacharjeeThe volume intends to reclaim the representations of disability and present narratives that do not

just use the figure of the disabled as a means to an end. It includes translation of 17 disability centric short stories from multiple Indian languages into English. Further it uses these stories as illustration to test and develop new theoretical formulations concerning disability and the disabled. What grants the work its uniqueness is not only the translations of the erstwhile lost stories of disability but also the use of these stories towards the formation of theoretical paradigms to move forward the project of Disability Studies.

Food Restraint and Fasting in Victorian Religion and LiteratureLesa Scholl, University of Adelaide, AustraliaThrough an interdisciplinary lens of theology, medicine, and literary criticism, this book examines the complicated intersections of food consumption, political economy, and religious conviction in nineteenth-century Britain.

Scholarship on fasting is gendered. This book deliberately faces this gendering by looking at the way in which four Victorian women writers - Christina Rossetti, Alice Meynell, Elizabeth Gaskell and Josephine Butler - each engage with food restraint from ethical, social and theological perspectives.

Jesus in the Victorian NovelReimagining ChristJessica Ann Hughes, George Fox University, USAThis book tells the story of how nineteenth-century writers turned to the realist novel in order to reimagine Jesus during a century where traditional religious faith appeared increasingly untenable. Re-workings of the canonical Gospels and other

projects to demythologize the story of Jesus are frequently treated as projects aiming to secularize and even discredit traditional Christian faith. The novels of Charles Kingsley, George Eliot, Eliza Lynn Linton, and Mary Augusta Ward, however, demonstrate that the work of bringing the Christian tradition of prophet, priest, and king into conversation with a rapidly changing world can at times be a form of authentic faith—even a faith that remains rooted in the Bible and historic Christianity, while simultaneously creating a space that allows traditional understandings of Jesus’ identity to evolve.

Marilynne Robinson's Worldly GospelA Philosophical Account of her Christian VisionRyan S. Kemp, Wheaton College, USA & Jordan M. Rodgers, King's College, Wilkes-Barre, USAAn in-depth philosophical exploration of her

work – from Gilead to her extensive non-fiction writing – Marilynne Robinson’s Worldly Gospel reads the author’s theology as articulating a compelling response to the claim that Christianity is an otherworldly religion whose adherents seek through it to escape the misfortunes of this life. Ryan Kemp and Jordan Rodgers argue that Robinson’s work challenges the modern atheistic tradition dating back to Friedrich Nietzsche to present a unique form of contemporary faith that seeks to affirm the world rather than deny its claims.

The Metanarrative Hall of MirrorsReflex Action in Fiction and FilmGarrett Stewart, University of Iowa, USAThe Metanarrative Hall of Mirrors is the first sustained comparative study of how images are created in prose and cinema. In film examples

ranging from Citizen Kane through Apocalypse Now to Blade Runner 2049, then on to Christopher Nolan’s 2020 Tenet, Garrett Stewart tracks the shift from celluloid to digital cinema through various narrative approaches to the image, from freeze-frames to computer-generated special effects. By bringing these insights into dialogue with contemporary literature, Stewart discovers a common tendency in contemporary storytelling, in both prose and visual narrative, from the ongoing trend of “mind-game” films to the often puzzling narrative eccentricities of such different writers as Richard Powers and Nicholson Baker.

Realism: Aesthetics, Experiments, PoliticsEdited by Jens Elze, Georg-August-University Göttingen, GermanyThis volume brings together for the first time three aspects that are pertinent for a proper understanding of realism: its origins as a radical 19th-century aesthetic practice of making reality

into an object of serious art; the challenges to it taken up in 20th-century literature; and the politics of contemporary realism. Innovative chapters deal with classically realist authors (George Eliot, Émile Zola), experimental engagements with realism (J.M. Coetzee, Rachel Cusk) and contemporary global novels (Chimamanda Adichie, David Mitchell). The readings assembled here are a testament to the ongoing controversies surrounding definitions and deployments of the genre.

Becoming UtopianThe Culture and Politics of Radical TransformationTom Moylan, University of Limerick, IrelandThis book explores the utopian process in its individual and collective trajectory from dream to realization. Drawing on theorists such as Fredric Jameson, Donna Haraway and Alain Badiou and

science fiction writers such as Kim Stanley Robinson and China Miéville, Becoming Utopian develops its argument for sociopolitical action through studies that range from liberation theology, ecological activism, and radical pedagogy to the radical movements of 1968. Throughout, Moylan speaks to the urgent need to confront and transform the global environmental, economic, political and cultural crises of our time.

ship’s Wake

Authorship's Wake: Writing After the Death of the AuthorPhilip Sayers, University of Toronto, CanadaThrough the lens of Roland Barthes’s 1960s essay, “The Death of the Author,” this book investigates the enduring legacy of the critique of the author as an all-controlling figure determining the meaning of literary texts. Authorship’s Wake examines

texts by writers who either directly participated in this critique, or whose intellectual formation took place in its aftermath. Using work by Judith Butler, Zadie Smith, and David Foster Wallace, Sayers argues that these writers are participants in an ongoing conversation surrounding authorship.

Nonmodern PracticesLatour and Literary StudiesEdited by Elisabeth Arnould-Bloomfield, University of Colorado, USA & Claire Chi-ah Lyu, University of Virginia, USAThis collection of essays responds to the urgent call in the humanities to go beyond the act of negative critique which, so far, has been the dominant

form of intellectual inquiry in academia. The contributors take their inspiration from Bruno Latour's pragmatic, relational approach and his philosophy of hybrid world where culture is immanent to nature and knowledge is tied to the things it co-creates. In such a world, nature, society, and discourse relate to, rather than negate, each other. These 11 essays, ranging from early modern humanism and modern theorization of literature to contemporary political ecology and animal studies, propose new productive ways of thinking, reading, and writing with, not against, the world. In carrying out concrete practices that are inclusive, rather than exclusive, contributors strive to exemplify a form of scholarship that might be better attuned to the concerns of our post-humanist era.

Disrupted IntersubjectivityParalysis and Invasion in Ian McEwan’s WorksAndrei Ionescu, Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, Saudi ArabiaDisrupted Intersubjectivity investigates two classes of phenomena creating failures of understanding in social interaction, referred to as ‘paralysis’

and ‘invasion.’ Both can be understood as disrupted forms of intersubjectivity, the former being characterized by a lack/deficiency of ways of relating to others, and the latter by an unnecessary surplus. By studying the literary accounts of these phenomena in a selection of Ian McEwan’s literary works (“Homemade,” On Chesil Beach, Enduring Love, and Atonement), Andrei Ionescu sheds light on the epistemological potential of literature and the structure of human relationships in general.

Graphic Novels and Comics as World LiteratureEdited by James Hodapp, Northwestern University, QatarBuilding upon the little extant scholarship on graphic narratives from the Global South, this collection moves beyond a Western approach to this quickly expanding field. By focussing on

graphic novels and comics from the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia, these essays expand the study of graphic narratives to a global scale. Contributors also explore how these graphic texts engage with, fit in with or complicate notions of World Literature, such as translation, commodification, circulation and Orientalism. The larger theoretical framework of World Literature is joined with the postcolonial, decolonial, Global South and similar approaches that argue explicitly or implicitly for the viability of non-Western graphic narratives on their own terms.

Bulgarian Literature as World LiteratureEdited by Mihaela P. Harper, Bilkent University, Turkey & Dimitar Kambourov, Trinity College Dublin, IrelandThis book examines key aspects and manifestations of 20th- and 21st-century Bulgarian literature vis-à-vis the global literary landscape. The first volume

to bring together in English the perspectives of prominent writers, translators, and scholars of Bulgarian literature and culture, this long-overdue collection identifies correlations between national and world aesthetic ideologies and literary traditions. Mapping histories, geographies, economies, and genetics, the volume’s contributors assess the magnitudes and directions of such forces in order to articulate how a distinctly national, “minor” literature transforms into world literature today.

Philosophy as World LiteratureEdited by Jeffrey R. Di Leo, University of Houston-Victoria, USAWhat does it mean for philosophy to be considered as a species of not just literature but world literature? The essays in this collection offer a complex and authoritative account of philosophy as world literature by exploring philosophy through

the lens of the "worlding" of literature—that is, considering the ways in which philosophy is connected and reconnected through global literary networks that cross borders, mix stories, and speak in translation and dialect. Philosophy as World Literature offers a variety of accounts of the ways in which the "worlding" of literature problematizes the national categorizing of philosophy and brings new meanings and challenges to the traditional topic of intersections between philosophy and literature.

Haruki Murakami and the Search for Self-TherapyStories from the Second BasementJonathan Dil, Keio University, JapanHaruki Murakami has said that he started writing novels as a means of self-therapy; this book explores Murakami’s fourteen published novels

as an evolving therapeutic project. It starts by looking into the biographical factors behind this therapeutic project, beginning with Murakami’s estrangement from his father and the death of a former girlfriend. Jonathan Dil argues that these two ‘traumas’ in Murakami’s life are essential for understanding why he writes, before going on to successfully reason that Murakami’s fiction has transcended these proximate motivations to deal with the theme of therapy on a much broader, cultural level.

Science Fiction in IndiaParallel Worlds and Postcolonial ParadigmsEdited by Shweta Khilnani, University of Delhi & Ritwick BhattacharjeeThis volume examines the different ways by which Indian SF narratives construct possible national futures. It explores how the tensions generated by

the seemingly conflicting forces of tradition and modernity within the Indian historical landscape are realized through characteristic tropes of SF storytelling. It looks at the interplay between the spatio-temporal coordinates of the nation and the SF narratives produced within to see how one bears upon the other and how processes of governance find relational structures with such narratives.

Voices of Angel IslandInscriptions and Immigrant Poetry, 1910-1945Charles Egan, San Francisco State University, USAThis anthology of the writings of immigrants detained at Angel Island serves as a conduit for readers today to connect with the early-20th-

century perspectives on the process of “becoming American.” The Angel Island barracks contain an extraordinary archive: hundreds of poems and prose records in half a dozen languages on the walls, inscribed by immigrant detainees between 1910 and 1940, and by POWs and “enemy aliens” during World War II. Charles Egan draws on over a decade's work deciphering the wall inscriptions to assemble a selection of writings in this book, alongside literary materials from Bay Area ethnic newspapers.

Writing, Authorship and Photography in British Literary Culture, 1880 - 1920Capturing the ImageEmily Ennis, University of Leeds, UKAt the turn of the 20th century, printing and photographic technologies evolved rapidly, leading

to rise of mass media and the amateur photographer. Demonstrating how this development happened symbiotically with great changes in the shape of British literature, this book explores this co-evolution, showing that as both writing and photography became tools of mass dissemination, literary writers were forced to re-evaluate their professional and personal identities. Focusing on Thomas Hardy, Bram Stoker, Joseph Conrad, and Virginia Woolf—each of which had their own private and professional connections to photographs—Emily Ennis offers valuable historical contexts for contemporary cultural developments and anxieties.

with the events of Ireland’s recent economic ‘boom’ and the demise of the Celtic Tiger period, and how they have portrayed the widespread and variated aftermaths. Drawing upon economic literary criticism, affect theory, and the philosophy of debt, this book probes issues such as: indebtedness; temporality and narrative form; the relevance of affect theory to understanding Irish culture and society during austerity; ecocriticism and late capitalism; and the relationship between literary fiction and the mechanics of high finance.

The Politics of Literary PrestigePrizes and Spanish American LiteratureSarah E.L. Bowskill, Queen's University Belfast, UKTaking into account national and international politics and networks of prestige, this book analyses the relationship between literary prizes, politics and the reception of literature from Spanish America.

Covering state-sponsored and publisher-run prizes and major awards such as the Biblioteca Breve Prize, the Premio Cervantes and the Nobel Prize, this book examines how prizes have shaped what we know about Spanish American literature. The author draws on a range of sources – including speeches and interviews by winning authors, judges' statements and prize rules and regulations – to reveal the roles prizes have played in Spanish American politics as well as in the formation of the Spanish American cultural field.


The American Novel After Ideology, 1961–2000Laurie Rodrigues, University of La Verne, USAUsing the intersecting publications of Daniel Bell’s The End of Ideology (1960) and J.D. Salinger’s Franny and Zooey (1961), Laura Rodrigues argues that American novels distort realism in manners similar to ideology’s distortions of reality, history,

and belief. This volume reflects the astonishing cultural variety of this period, featuring analyses of Carlene Hatcher Polite’s The Flagellants (1967), Leslie Marmon Silko’s Almanac of the Dead (1991), and Philip Roth’s The Human Stain (2001), among various discussions around ideology with which they intersect. The American Novel After Ideology, 1961-2000 discusses how each novel’s plotless narratives, dissoliving subjectivities, and cultural codes suggest an aesthetic return of the repressed.

Thomas Bernhard's AfterlivesEdited by Olaf Berwald, Kennesaw State University, USA, Stephen D. Dowden, Brandeis University, USA & Gregor Thuswaldner, Whitworth University, USAIn his prose fiction, memoirs, poetry, and drama, Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989)—one of the 20th century’s most uniquely gifted writers—created

a new and radical style, seemingly out of thin air. His furious prose, seemingly shapeless but composed with unparalleled musicality, and taxing by conventional standards, has been powerfully echoed in many writers since Bernhard’s death in 1989. These explorers have found in Bernhard’s singular accomplishment new paths for the expression of life and truth. Writers in Italian, German, Spanish, Hungarian, English, and French have succeeded in making Bernhard’s Austrian vision an international vision. Thomas Bernhard's Afterlives tells that story.

The Art of Caregiving in Fiction, Film, and MemoirJeffrey Berman, University of Albany, USABringing together the human story of care with its representation in film, fiction and memoir, this book combines an analysis of care narratives to inform and inspire ideas about this major role in life. Examining texts from a diverse range of authors

such as Leo Tolstoy, Edith Wharton and Alice Munro, and filmmakers such as Ingmar Bergman and Michael Haneke, it explores the challenges of reading and writing about caregiving while asking why caregiving is dangerous and yet so important.


Transnational Jean RhysLines of Transmission, Lines of FlightEdited by Juliana Lopoukhine and Frédéric Regard, University of Paris-Sorbonne, France & Kerry-Jane Wallart, University of Orléans, FranceThis volume investigates the frameworks that can be applied to reading Caribbean author Jean Rhys. It argues against the relative isolationism that is

sometimes associated with her writing by demonstrating both how she was influenced by a wide range of foreign authors and how her influence was in turn disseminated in a myriad of directions. Including an interview with novelist Caryl Phillips, this collection charts new territories in the influences on/of an author known for her dislike of literary coteries, but whose literary communality has been underestimated.

Creaturely Forms in Contemporary LiteratureNarrating the War Against AnimalsDominic O'KeyThrough close readings of works by W. G. Sebald, J. M. Coetzee and Mahasweta Devi, this book explores how contemporary authors are rethinking

the relations between humans and other animals in an age of mass extinction and mass over-production. In doing so, it shows how contemporary literature mediates and contests, but also reimagines, the relations between humans and other animals.

Introducing the category of the ‘creaturely’ to denote a shared space between the human and the nonhuman, it draws from theoretical work on the human/animal distinction in Posthumanist and Postcolonial Studies to develop an account of how literature thematically and formally dismantles human exceptionalism. It argues that there are literary texts which turn towards animals in order to imagine less violent ways of being human, calling these texts ‘creaturely forms’ and arguing that the authors it examines - Sebald, Coetzee and Mahasweta - develop creaturely forms of storytelling.

Queer TraversalsPsychoanalytic Queer and Trans TheoriesChris CoffmanWorking at the intersection of psychoanalytic, queer, and transgender theories, this book argues for the need to read Lacanian psychoanalysis through a queer and trans-positive framework. In so doing, challenges the dimensions of fantasy at

play in efforts to insist on the continued validity of the binary gender system. Targeting the Lacanian concept of “sexual difference” - that desire is structured through the difference between masculine and feminine - it argues that this idea is not transhistorical, as orthodox Lacanians claim, but rather a historically contingent fantasy. As such, it argues that psychoanalytic queer theorists need to go beyond this fantasy to register truly the full range of sexualities and modes of embodiment.

Rereading EmpathyEdited by Emily Johansen, Texas A&M University, USA & Alissa G. Karl, SUNY Brockport, USAIf we all had more skill with empathy, so the claim goes, we would all be better citizens. But what does it mean to empathize with others? How do we develop this skill? And what does it offer that older

models of solidarity don’t?

Rereading Empathy takes up these questions, examining the uses to which calls for empathy are put in the face of ever expanding economic and social precarity. The contributors draw on a variety of historical and contemporary literary and cultural archives to illustrate the work that empathy is supposed to enable—and to query alternative models of building collective futures.

Neo-Victorianism, Empathy and ReadingMuren Zhang, East China Normal University, ChinaCalling upon the writings of Margaret Atwood, Julian Barnes, Graeme Macrae Burnet and Sarah Waters this book examines the ethics of the text-reader relationship in neo-Victorian literature,

focusing upon the role played by empathy in this engagement. Bringing together recent cultural and theoretical research on narrative temporality, empathy and affect, Muren Zhang presents neo-Victorian literature as a genre defined by its experimentation with ‘empathetic narrative’.

Broken down into themes such as voyeurism, shame, nausea, space and place, Zhang argues that such literature pushes the reader to critically reflect upon their reading expectations, strategies, and their wider ethical responsibilities.

Marilynne Robinson, Theologian of the OrdinaryAndrew Cunning, Independent Scholar, UKThis book posits that Robinson’s widely celebrated novels and essays are best understood as emerging from a foundational theology that has ‘the Ordinary’ as its source. Providing an analysis of Robinson’s published output, a synthesis of the unstudied

and unpublished notebooks, letters and drafts from Yale University's Robinson archive and an original interview with Robinson, Andrew Cunning constructs an authentically Robinsonian theology that is at once distinctly American and conversant with key continental thinkers, including Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Freud and Levinas. Arguing that ‘the Ordinary’ demands an artistic response, this book reads Robinson’s fiction as her theological response to the surplus of meaning in ordinary experience.


Noir in the NorthGenre, Politics and PlaceEdited by Stacy Gillis, Newcastle University, UK & Gunnthorunn Gudmundsdottir, University of Iceland, IcelandWhat is often termed 'Nordic Noir' has dominated detective fiction, film and television internationally for over two decades. But what are the parameters

of this genre, both historically and geographically? What is noirish and what is northern about Nordic noir? Divided into 4 sections – Gender and Sexuality, Space and Place, Politics and Crime, and Genre and Genealogy – the essays in this book deepen our critical understanding of noir by demonstrating, for example, Nordic noir's connection to fin-de-siècle literatures and to mid-century interior design by considering the function of landscape and aesthetics, and by investigating the function of the state in crime fiction.

Ezra Pound and his Classical Sources'The Cantos' and the Primal Matter of TroyJonathan UllyotThis book looks at how Homer’s Odyssey plays a unique methodological and structural role in The

Cantos and, more broadly, recalibrates the reader’s sense of Pound’s deployment of classical sources in them.

Pound’s unique understanding of medieval literature and The Cantos is, in fact, Pound’s own modernist vision of the Matter of Troy, a term used by medieval authors to designate the cycle of texts based on the Trojan war and its aftereffects, including the nostoi (returns) of the Greek heroes. Specifically, The Cantos presents itself as a modernist translatio of Homer’s Odyssey.

James Joyce and PhotographyGeorgina Binnie-Wright, Independent ScholarJames Joyce and Photography is the first book to explore in-depth James Joyce’s engagement with the art of photography. Photography is evident throughout Joyce’s texts, from his narrator’s furtive photographic framing in Silhouettes (c. 1897), to the aggressively-minded snapshots captured by the

‘Tulloch-Turnbull girl with her coldblood kodak’ in Finnegans Wake. Through an exploration of Joyce’s manuscripts and photographic and newspaper archival material, as well as the full range of Joyce’s major works, this book sheds new light on his relationship with the visual medium, both in a personal capacity and as a means of professional promotion.

Modernist Authorship and Transatlantic Periodical Culture1895–1925Amanda Sigler, Baylor University, USAThis book unearths the forgotten stories behind the texts we think we know well, using new evidence to examine the collaborative, consumer-oriented

Modernism that developed out of periodicals.

Sigler traces the serialization and advertisement of Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw in Collier’s (1898), Rudyard Kipling’s Kim in McClure’s and Cassell’s (1900-1901), James Joyce’s Ulysses in the Little Review (1918-1920), and Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street in The Dial (1923). Using previously unpublished material and long-buried editorial correspondence, she sheds light on the role that compromise and chance played in the emergence of Modernism.

Understanding Adorno, Understanding ModernismEdited by Robin Truth Goodman, Florida State University, USAUnderstanding Adorno, Understanding Modernism traces Adorno’s social and aesthetic ideas as they appear and reappear in his corpus. As per other volumes in the series, this book is divided into three

parts. The first, “Adorno’s Keywords,” is organized by the aesthetic terms around which Adorno’s philosophy circulates. The second section is devoted to “Adorno and Aesthetics.” While Adorno’s philosophical viewpoints influenced modernism’s evolution into the twenty-first century, the history of modernist aesthetics also shaped his philosophical approaches. The third and final part, “Adorno’s Constellations,” discusses how aesthetic form in Adorno’s thinking underlies the terms of his social analysis.

Contemporary Fiction and Climate UncertaintyNarrating Unstable FuturesMarco CaraccioloThis book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by

the University of Ghent.

This book argues that storytelling is an important resource in coming to terms with the loss of the feeling of living a grounded existence where the future remains relatively stable and predictable. Faced with the specter of climate catastrophe, we lose confidence in the future—a well-documented response in the environmental movement, for example. Yet stories, and in particular sophisticated fictional stories, can help us negotiate that uncertainty: they offer affective and imaginative tools that channel the instability of our climate future and invite audiences to accept its fundamental uncertainty.

In all, this book represents a serious contribution to the environmental humanities that brings a flexible formal approach to bear on central questions of our time.

Sharon Lattig brings these two schools of criticism together for the first time to consider the ways in which lyric

forms re-enact cognitive processes of the mind and brain. Along the way the book reads anew the long history of the lyric, from Andrew Marvell, through canonical poets such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Emily Dickinson to contemporary writers such as Susan Howe and Charles Olson.

Narrating Medicine in Middle English PoetryPoets, Practitioners, and the PlagueEve SalisburyFilling a gap in what we know about medical writing in England in the 100+ years after the advent of the “Great Mortality”, this book calls attention to

a discourse that privileges illness narratives, strategies of self-care, and the voices of poets, patients, and practitioners. When read in conjunction with medical treatises, plague tractates, and verse remedies, literary narratives disclose an experience of illness that other genres of medical writing lack, thus enabling us to see the kinship between poetry and the healing arts.

literary and filmic works of Ken Follet, Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, Brian de Palma, and David Cronenberg, science fiction literature and television series Orphan Black, King illuminates how twins are employed across a range of disciplines to envision a critical re-conception of the human in times of digital integration and ecological crisis.

The Metaphor of the MonsterInterdisciplinary Approaches to Understanding the Monstrous Other in LiteratureEdited by Keith Moser & Karina Zelaya both of Mississippi State University, USAThe Metaphor of the Monster offers fresh perspectives and a variety of disciplinary

approaches to the ever-broadening field of monster studies. Representing areas of study including world literature, classical studies, philosophy, ecocriticism, animal ethics, and gender studies, this volume recontextualizes the monstrous entities that have always haunted the human imagination in the age of the Anthropocene and invites reflection on new forms of monstrosity in an era of (mis-)information. Uniting researchers from varied academic backgrounds to challenge the monstrous labels that have historically been imposed upon "the Other," this book endeavors to bring the monster out of the shadows and into the light of moral consideration.

AmbitionAn Essay on the Burning Desire to RiseEckart Goebel, University of Tübingen, Germany

Translated by James C. WagnerWhy does ambition continue to drive people even after their safety and livelihood are secured? Is it possible to establish a clear distinction between ‘healthy’ and ‘pathological’ ambition? Whilst

philosophy has touched only occasionally on the problem of burning ambition, sociology, psychoanalysis, and especially world literature, have provided rich and more revealing descriptions and examples of the role of ambition in human history. Drawing on a long and varied tradition of writing on this topic, from Hesiod to Kafka and from Shakespeare to Freud, Eckart Goebel explores our driving passion for recognition—an insatiable hunter in the mirror—and power.

The Origins of NostalgiaMemories and ReflectionsSvetlana Boym, Harvard University, USA

Edited by Ron RobertsThis collection of previously unpublished autobiographical and semi-autobiographical “snippets of experience” written by Svetlana Boym in the final period of her life capture her penchant

for seamlessly melding, poetically and dream-like, the intensively personal with the everyday and the world-historical. They illuminate the formative conditions for the thinking which she was to develop into her majestic work on nostalgia. Importantly, these pieces fill in gaps in understanding the genesis and outlook of her take on the world. For readers both familiar with her work and for those new to it, The Origins of Nostalgia will enable our own cultural past as well as that of the former Soviet Union to be viewed in a different light.


Joseph Brodsky and Collaborative Self-TranslationNatasha Rulyova, University of Birmingham, UKJoseph Brodsky and Collaborative Self-Translation examines how the Nobel Prize winning Russian poet Joseph Brodsky mastered English as his second language and became the fifth Poet Laureate of the United States. Based on the archival

study of Brodsky’s manuscripts and correspondence, held at the Brodsky archive in the Beinecke library at Yale University, Rulyova follows Brodsky’s bilingual journey stage by stage. In doing so, she shows how, as a late bilingual, Brodsky’s success was dependent on collaboration with his network of translators, editors and peer poets whose loyal and relentless support helped him to become a recognized American poet, in addition to being, arguably, the most celebrated Russian poet of the 20th century.

Gender CommodityMarketing Feminist Identities and the Promise of SecurityRobin Truth Goodman, Florida State University, USAGender has become a commodity. Today’s economy trades in symbols and narratives as much as in objects. Gender Commodity argues that

gender is a social relation made into an alienated object. In an era of radical insecurity, people identify with objects that promise quite falsely that they grant stability, duration, and fulfillment, and gender has been made into one of those. An interdisciplinary study that brings literary studies into dialogue with the surrounding mediascape, Gender Commodity asks how the symbolic production of gender commodity at home informs an imagination of gender policy as it reaches out globally.

Literature and Race in the Democracy of GoodsReading Contemporary Black and Asian North American PoetryChristopher Chen, University of California at Santa Cruz, USAProviding a comparative study of post-1960 Asian

American, Asian Canadian and black experimental poetry, this book examines the intersection between race and capitalism through the works of poets including: Myung Mi Kim, Nathaniel Macket, Larissa Lai and Erica Hunt.

Challenging conventional understandings of North American racial formation, it explores experimental poetry's understanding of race as a range of relational configurations of subjects within racial groups and across racial divisions.

Radical ElegiesWhite Violence, Patriarchy, and NecropoeticsEleanor PerryThrough in-depth close readings of elegies by Black women, trans* women, and non-binary writers, this book foregrounds forms of poetic knowledge and poetic practices that trouble - or work against - the

ideals, values, standards and forms of knowledge embodied by the ‘English’ elegy so often privileged within canonical tradition. In doing so, it offers a challenge to the ways in which we currently read elegy, unearthing possibilities for revising our understanding of the elegiac tradition.

GlitterNicole Seymour, California State University, Fullerton, USAGlitter reveals the complexity of an object often dismissed as frivolous. Nicole Seymour describes how glitter’s consumption and status have shifted across centuries—from ancient cosmetic to queer activist tool, environmental pollutant

to biodegradable accessory—along with its composition, which has variously included insects, glass, rocks, salt, sugar, plastic, and cellulose. Through a variety of examples, from glitterbombing to glitter beer, Seymour shows how this substance reflects the entanglements of consumerism, emotion, environmentalism, and gender/sexual identity.

OKMichelle McSweeney, Converseon.AI, USA"OK" as a word accepts proposals, describes the world as satisfactory (but not good), provides conversational momentum, or even agrees (or disagrees). OK as an object, however, tells a story of how technology writes itself into language, permanently altering communication. OK is a young

word, less than 200 years old. Today it is spoken and written by nearly everyone in the world. Drawing on linguistics, history, and new media studies, Michelle McSweeney traces OK from its birth in the Penny Presses through telephone lines, grammar books, and television signals into the digital age.

RecipeLynn Z. Bloom, University of Connecticut, USARecipe reveals the surprising lessons that recipes teach, in addition to the obvious instructions on how to prepare a dish or perform a process. These include lessons in hospitality, friendship, community, family and ethnic heritage, tradition, nutrition, precision and order, invention and improvisation,

feasting and famine, survival and seduction and love. A recipe is a signature, as individual as the cook’s fingerprint; a passport to travel the world without leaving the kitchen; a lifeline for people in hunger and in want; and always a means to expand one’s worldview, if not waistline.

SkateboardJonathan Russell Clark, Freelance Writer, USAHow did the skateboard go from a fad like the hula-hoop to an Olympic sport? Writer and skateboarder Jonathan Russell Clark's Skateboard answers this question by going straight to the sources: the skaters and company owners and manufacturers who made such an unlikely rise

to worldwide juggernaut possible. As the stuntwood (as it’s often referred to) has never had, like other sports and subjects, dedicated historians, the real history of skating exists in a hodgepodge. From California beaches to Tokyo 2020, the skateboard has outlasted its critics to form a global community of innovation, persistence, and camaraderie.

Trench CoatJane Tynan, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, NetherlandsWe all know what a trench coat is but where does it comes from? What began as a sports coat was later adapted for officers fighting in the trenches of the First World War, hence the name. Since then trench coats have adorned soldiers, police detectives,

Nazis, Hollywood stars, Mafiosi, spies and ‘flashers.’ Ernest Hemingway wore one to draw attention to his military service, but the trench coat also turns up in the work of James Joyce, Nancy Mitford, Graham Greene and Virginia Woolf. Trench Coat explores its role in the modern imagination: a product of science and technology, the trench coat quickly took on a tough and seductive image blending easily into literature, music, film and fashion to become the uniform of some of the most attractive and enigmatic characters of the modern world.

scenes of insult, abusive characters and insulting effects in the plays, this volume shifts how readers understand and read Shakespeare’s insults.

Shakespeare and Reception TheoryNigel Wood, Loughborough University, UKHow do playtexts – especially in their Early Modern form – allow us to infer meanings? And if it is down to us to assess ourselves in our reading, is there a secure division between text and self? This study demonstrates how recent emphases on a reader’s

role in the creation of meaning might allow us to contemplate Shakespeare’s work in fresh and often provocative ways, paying close attention to Early Modern modes of interaction in the playhouse alongside more recent assumptions that underlie spectating and performing.

British Black and Asian ShakespeareansIntegrating Shakespeare, 1966–2018Jami Rogers, University of Warwick, UKThis book tells the untold story of the contribution of Black and Asian performers to British Shakespearean productions from the 1960s to

the 21st century. Drawing extensively on empirical evidence from the British Black and Asian Shakespeare Performance Database and interviews with performers, the book is the first to chronicle important productions that led to ground-breaking castings of Black and Asian actors in substantial Shakespearean roles. In doing so, the book paints a comprehensive picture of the challenges performers of colour faced in securing the right to work in classical theatre. It highlights the gains these actors have made and the challenges that are still faced.

Shakespeare in Elizabethan Costume'Period Dress' in Twenty-First-Century PerformanceElla Hawkins, University of Birmingham, UKThis book scrutinizes the popular practice of costuming Shakespeare’s plays in Elizabethan and

Jacobean dress. It considers why this traditional approach to design appeals to contemporary directors, designers and audiences, and how it has shaped the meaning of Shakespeare’s works in specific performance contexts.

Ella Hawkins examines the minutiae of modern design – how seams are sewn, whence fabrics are sourced – as well as the widespread cultural movements that have produced our modern relationship with the period of Shakespeare’s lifetime. Shakespeare in Elizabethan Costume reframes so-called ‘period’ costuming as a dynamic collection of practices capable of refashioning textual meanings, reflecting present-day political and societal shifts and confronting contemporary injustices.

Shakespeare and Geek CultureEdited by Andrew James Hartley, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA & Peter Holland, University of Notre Dame, USAFrom sci-fi to graphic novels, from boy scouts to board games, from cult films to the cult of theatre, Shakespeare is everywhere in popular culture. This is the first edited volume to address both the many

ways in which Shakespeare has entered into popular culture and more particularly the geekiness of Shakespeare scholarship itself. Working at the intersections of a wide range of fields – including fan studies and film analysis, cultural studies and fantasy/sci-fi theory – the authors demonstrate how the particularities of the connection between Shakespeare and geek culture generate new insights into the plays, poems and their larger cultural legacy in the 21st century.
