Contemporary Adolescent 

Literature and Culture 

The Emergent Adult 

Edited by Mary Hiltoan and Maria Nikolajeva, 

both at University of Cambridge, UK 

Ashgate Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present 

“…a theoretically rich collection of essays that gathers 

together the most compelling and provocative issues 

currently at play in the study of adolescent literature… 

The essays are smart, innovative and sophisticated, 

making the collection one of the most significant 

contributions yet to appear in the field.” 

—Roberta Seelinger Trites, Illinois State University 

Offering a wide range of critical perspectives, this 

volume explores the moral, ideological and literary 

landscapes in fiction and other cultural productions 

aimed at young adults. Examining in depth 

significant contemporary novels, including those 

by Julia Alvarez, Stephenie Meyer, Tamora Pierce, 

Malorie Blackman and Meg Rosoff, among others, 

Contemporary Adolescent Literature and Culture 

illuminates the ways in which the cultural 

constructions “adolescent” and “young adult 

fiction” share some of society’s most painful 

anxieties and contradictions.

Mary Hilton and Maria Nikolajeva; Adolescence 

and the natural world in young adult fiction,

New in Paperback 

The Idea of Nature 

in Disney Animation 

From Snow White to WALL-E 

David Whitley, University of Cambridge, UK 


Second Edition 

“Whitley carefully and expertly preserves both 

the inherent wildness and the human sentiment 

in his attempt to demonstrate how Disney’s animated 

features function to educate mostly young audiences 

on salient environmental issues…Recommended.” 

—Choice 

In the second edition of The Idea of Nature in Disney 

Animation, Whitley updates his 2008 book to reflect 

recent developments in Disney and Disney-Pixar 

animation such as the apocalyptic tale of earth’s 

failed ecosystem, WALL-E. Beginning with his 

examination of Snow White, Whitley’s compelling 

study complicates our understanding of the classic 

Disney canon and demonstrates the crucial role 

the films’ depictions of the natural world play 

in shaping children’s understanding of contested 

environmental issues. 

Contents: Introduction: wild sentiment: the theme 

of nature in Disney animation. Part 1: Fairy Tale 

Adaptations: Domesticating nature: Snow White 

and fairy tale adaptation; Healing the rift: human 

and animal nature in The Little Mermaid and 

Beauty and the Beast. Part 2: The North American 

Wilderness: Bambi and the idea of conservation; 

Wilderness and power: conflicts and contested values 

from Pocahontas to Brother Bear. Part 3: Tropical 

Environments: The Jungle Book: nature and the 

politics of identity; Tropical discourse: unstable 

ecologies in Tarzan, The Lion King and Finding Nemo. 

Part 4: New Developments: WALL•E: nostalgia and 

the apocalypse of trash; Conclusion: new directions?;

Genre, Reception, 

and Adaptation 

in the ‘Twilight’ Series 

Edited by Anne Morey, Texas A&M University 


“…this collection illuminates the complex, ambiguous 

and significant place the Twilight novels have 

assumed in contemporary culture. The contributors 

eschew easy judgments, offering, instead, fresh and 

engaging interdisciplinary perspectives to scholars 

of young adult literature, youth culture, gender 

studies, romance, gothic literature and fan culture.” 

—Annette Wannamaker, Eastern Michigan University 

Avoiding the reductive tendency of some recent 

scholarship to focus on the purported shortcomings 

of the Twilight series with respect to literary merit 

and political correctness, this volume adopts 

a cultural studies framework to explore the range 

of scholarly concerns awakened by the Twilight 

novels and their filmic adaptations. In so doing, 

the contributors show the series’ importance 

for studies of popular culture, gender, reception, 

history and young adult literature. 

Contents: Introduction, Anne Morey; ‘Famine for 

food, expectation for content’: Jane Eyre as intertext 

for the ‘Twilight’ saga, Anne Morey; Fantasy, 

subjectivity, and desire in Twilight and its sequels, 

Jackie C. Horne; Postfeminist fantasies: sexuality 

and femininity in Stephenie Meyer’s ‘Twilight’ series, 

Kristine Moruzi; Narrative intimacy and the question 

of control in the ‘Twilight’ saga, Sara K. Day; 

Bridges, nodes and bare life: race in the ‘Twilight’ 

saga, Alexandra Hidalgo; Girl culture and the 

‘Twilight’ franchise, Catherine Driscoll; ‘Twilight’ 

fans represented in commercial paratexts and 

inter-fandoms: resisting and repurposing negative 

fan stereotypes, Matt Hills; Coming to a violent end: 

narrative closure and the death drive in Stephenie 

Meyer’s ‘Twilight’ series, Rachel DuBois; The 

Giddyshame paradox: why ‘Twilight’s anti-fans 

cannot stop reading a series they (love to) hate, 

Sarah Wagenseller Goletz; Between Twi-hards 

and Twi-haters: the complicated terrain of online 

‘Twilight’ audience communities, Ann Gilbert; ‘I’d 

never given much thought to how I would die’: uses 

(and the decline of) voiceover in the ‘Twilight’ films, 

Katie Kapurch; Traveling in the same boat: adapting 

Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse 

to film, Mark D. Cunningham; Adaptation and

Heroism in the 

Harry Potter Series 

Edited by Katrin Berndt, Bremen 

University, Germany and Lena Steveker, 

Saarland University, Germany 


“…provides a neat cross-section of the conversations 

to date about Rowling’s best-selling series. The lens 

of heroism, as this collection demonstrates, can 

offer new perspectives on earlier ways of reading 

the series—genre, gender, religion, archetype, 

philosophy, psychology and postmodernism— 

and point readers towards new areas of exploration.”

Series 

the nineteenth century series 

Series Editors: Vincent Newey and Joanne Shattock, both at University of Leicester, UK

Dickens and Benjamin 

Moments of Revelation, 

Fragments of Modernity 

Gillian Piggott, Manchester 

Metropolitan University, UK 

The Nineteenth Century Series 

“This is an intelligent, well-researched and 

meticulously argued investigation of parallels 

in outlook between Dickens and Benjamin. 

Avoiding obvious pitfalls of such a project, 

Piggott is scrupulous in establishing her focus: 

not on any supposed influence of the one on the 

other, nor on the development of either writer’s ideas, 

but rather on the similarities and differences between 

the two writers’ vision of modernity, in particular 

as seen in their writings on the city…” 

—Paul Schlicke, University of Aberdeen, general 

editor of the Oxford Companion to Charles Dickens 

Placing the works of Charles Dickens and Walter 

Benjamin in conversation with one another, Piggott 

argues that the two writers display a shared vision 

of modernity. Her analysis of their works shows that 

both writers demonstrate a decreased confidence 

in the capacity to experience truth or religious 

meaning in an increasingly materialist world 

and both occupy similar positions towards 

urban modernity and its effect on experience. 

Contents: Foreword; Introduction. Part 1: ‘Exquisite 

Agony’: Elements of Messianism and the Baroque

British Women’s Travel 

to Greece, 1840–1914 

Travels in the Palimpsest 

Churnjeet Mahn, University of Surrey, UK 


“This thorough, nuanced and elegantly written 

account of women travelers to Greece between 

1840 and 1914 functions both as a genealogy 

of the diverse group of British women travelers 

to Greece and as an astute intervention into wider 

debates about the historical and contemporary role 

of women in the public sphere.” 

—Reina Lewis, London College of Fashion, UK 

and author of Rethinking Orientalism: Women, 

Travel and the Ottoman Harem 

Beginning with the publication of the first Murray 

guidebook to Greece in 1840 and ending with Virginia 

Woolf’s journey to Athens, Mahn offers a genealogy 

of British women’s travel literature about Greece. 

Her fascinating and historically contextualized study 

examines firsthand accounts by archaeologists, 

ethnographers, journalists and tourists as she charts 

women’s renderings of Modern Greece through 

a series of discursive lenses. 

Contents: Introduction; Greek panoramas: Murray 

and Baedeker’s guidebooks to Greece, 1840–1909; 

‘Hellas at Cambridge’: Agnes Smith Lewis and Jane 

Ellen Harrison; Ethnography and British women’s 

travel writing about Greece, 1847–1914; Image

Romantic Presences 

in the Twentieth Century 

Edited by Mark Sandy, University of Durham, UK 


“The recovery of formalism within Romantic Studies 

over the past six or seven years has meant a return 

to literary form and its transmission over time. This 

volume promises to revitalize the debate about how 

Romanticism helped make Modernism, and about 

why Modernism continues to deny its inheritance. 

This is the time for it.” 

—Anne Janowitz, University of London, UK 

Concerned with the intermingled thematic 

and formal preoccupations of romantic thought 

and literary practice in works by twentieth-century 

British, Irish and American artists, this collection 

examines the complicated legacy of Romanticism 

in twentieth-century novels, poetry and film. Essays 

on authors such as Virginia Woolf, F. Scott Fitzgerald, 

Doris Lessing, Seamus Heaney, William Faulkner and 

Don DeLillo, show the persistence and variety of the 

Romantic period’s influence on the twentieth-century. 

Contents: Introduction: the persistence of Romantic 

presences, Mark Sandy; Leigh Hunt, Charles 

Lamb and Virginia Woolf, Nicholas Roe; ‘Strong 

ghosts’: Romantic presences in Yeats’s poetry, 

Madeleine Callaghan; Flexible genealogies 

and Romantic poetics, Lisa M. Steinman; ‘Altered 

forms’: Romanticism and the poetry of Hart Crane, 

Michael O’Neill; The measured chaos of Gary 

Snyder’s post-Romantic poetic form, Paige Tovey; 

Webs of interlocution: interaction with others 

in Wordsworth and Auden, Heidi Thomson;

Edward Larrissy; Romantic presences and 

the latency of a nascent theory of literature 

in Romantic poetry, Michael Mack; Romanticism’s

Mark Sandy; ‘Here, then is a maze to begin,

Sarah Wootton; The ordinary: Wordsworth, Richard 

Ford and the lie of literature, Andrew Bennett;

novel and the science of mind, Stephen J. Burn;

Henry James, Impressionism, 

and the Public 

Daniel Hannah, Lakehead University 

“Focusing on the tendency in Impressionism 

to trouble distinctions between the public and the 

private, Daniel Hannah’s sophisticated and compelling 

book opens up broad new views of much that makes 

Henry James’ writing meaningful and much that 

has yet to be seen in the problem of Impressionism.” 

—Jesse E. Matz, Kenyon College 

Proposing a new approach to Jamesian aesthetics, 

Daniel Hannah examines the complicated 

relationship between Henry James’ impressionism 

and his handling of “the public.” In readings 

of The Art of Fiction, What Maisie Knew, The Wings 

of the Dove and The American Scene, among other 

works, Hannah shows James continually returning 

to the impression as a site for exploiting, resisting 

and re-imagining a perceived breakdown between 

the private and the public. 

Contents: Preface; Introduction; Henry James, 

painterly impressionism, publicity and spectacle; 

Jamesian impressionism and British aestheticism: 

influence and exposure; ‘Taking in’: impressionability, 

Children, and education in What Maisie Knew; 

‘The future of the novel’: impressions and the 

extrarepresentational in The Wings of the Dove;

Argentine Serialised Radio 

Drama in the Infamous 

Decade, 1930–1943 

Transmitting Nationhood 

Lauren Rea, University of Sheffield, UK 

New Hispanisms: Cultural and Literary Studies 

“Lauren Rea’s discussion of three sets of radio serials 

offers an original and convincing perspective from 

which to review Argentina’s nation-building program. 

Intelligently conceived and cogently argued, this 

is a work of the highest merit.” 

—Evelyn Fishburn, University College London, UK 

In her study of key serialized radio dramas broadcast 

from 1930 to 1943, Rea analyzes the work of leading 

exponents of the genre against the wider backdrop 

of nation-building, intellectual movements and 

popular culture in Argentina. Grounded in archival 

work undertaken at the library of Argentores in 

Buenos Aires, Rea’s book recovers the contribution 

that these products of popular culture made 

to the nation-building project as they helped 

to shape current understanding of Argentine 

history and cultural identity. 

Contents: Introduction; Bajo la Santa Federación:

Federación: heroines of the Rosas regime; Juan

Ecology and the Literature 

of the British Left 

The Red and the Green 

Edited by John Rignall, University of Warwick, 

UK, H. Gustav Klaus, University of Rostock, 

Germany and Valentine Cunningham, 

University of Oxford, UK 

“If it is to gain further acceptance, the new discipline 

of ecocriticism must produce sustained and serious 

literary criticism. This collection of richly literarycritical 

essays shows the way by combining 

left-leaning (‘red’) and ecological (‘green’) 

concerns. The relevance of these concerns 

to our present historical situation is repeatedly 

illuminated by penetrating analyses of literary 

reflections upon ecology. This is a compelling read 

for anyone alert to literature and the environment.” 

—Gabriel Egan, De Montfort University, UK 

Premised on the belief that a social and an ecological 

agenda are compatible, this collection offers readings 

in the ecology of left and radical writing from the 

Romantic period to the present. In historicizing and 

connecting environmentally sensitive literature with 

socialist thought, these essays explore the interactive 

vision of nature and society in the work of writers 

ranging from William Wordsworth and John Clare 

to John Berger and John Burnside. 

Contents: Introduction: the Red and 

the Green, H. Gustav Klaus and John Rignall;

Elizabeth Von Arnim 

Beyond the German Garden 

Isobel Maddison, Lucy Cavendish College, 

University of Cambridge, UK 

“This study of Elizabeth von Arnim’s writing is rich 

in its treatment of her intermodern cultural contexts. 

Maddison liberates von Arnim from value judgments 

about popular vs. modernist writing by examining 

the distinct ways she took up concerns shared with 

notable modernists, including her younger cousin, 

Katherine Mansfield, and Virginia Woolf. This study 

will convince many to rediscover and enjoy her novels.” 

—Bonnie Scott Kime, San Diego State University 

Isobel Maddison examines Elizabeth von Arnim’s 

writing in its historical and intellectual contexts, 

establishing her early work as a significant 

contribution to British anti-invasion literature 

and her later writing to the weighty political 

issues of the day. Considered a serious, and satiric, 

author during her own time, von Arnim emerges 

here as a writer whose fine writing and complex 

and compelling narrative style reward close analysis. 

Contents: Biographical preface; Introduction: 

‘artful necklaces’; ‘Scourgers and scavengers 

of society’: Elizabeth von Arnim and the critics; 

The ‘German’ novels: Elizabeth and Her German 

Garden, The Solitary Summer and Christine;

Anxiety and Evil in the Writings 

of Patricia Highsmith 

Fiona Peters, Bath Spa University, UK 

A Yankee Book Peddler US Core Title for 2012 

Drawing extensively on the under-explored Highsmith 

Archive, Peters suggests that the usual generic 

distinctions—crime fiction, mystery, suspense— 

have been largely unhelpful in elucidating Patricia 

Highsmith’s novels. Peters adopts a psychoanalytic 

approach to show that specific disturbances 

within her text have resulted in Highsmith’s writing 

remaining resistant to explication and to the more 

sophisticated interpretative strategies that would 

seek to position her within a specific genre.

Art as Music, Music as Poetry, 

Poetry as Art, from Whistler 

to Stravinsky and Beyond 

Peter Dayan, University of Edinburgh, UK 

An extraordinary fraternity of poets, painters and 

composers in Paris, between 1885 and 1945, built 

our modern notion of “great art” on the principle 

that we must always think about the value of a work 

of art, not within the logic of its own medium, but 

as if it transposed the value of another medium. Peter 

Dayan chronicles the rise of this principle, describes 

its eclipse from the 1960s and shows how, in the 21st 

century, it is fighting back.

Considering Animals 

Contemporary Studies

Edited by Carol Freeman,

“Examining a remarkable range of human-animal 

relations—from extinctions and historical dolphin 

encounters to suburban wildlife control, marching 

penguins, devouring grizzlies, pests, plagues 

and pets—the authors in this collection ask 

us to (re)consider what we think we know about 

animals, what we do based on that knowledge, 

and what, finally, animals think of us. This collection 

provides compelling evidence of the vitality and 

urgency of the field, while it forces us to ask neglected 

questions about our disciplines and practices.”

Baroness Orczy’s 

The Scarlet Pimpernel 

A Publishing History 

Sally Dugan, Birkbeck College, UK 

Ashgate Studies in Publishing History 

“This well-researched and lucidly written study traces 

the origins of the story and its variegated history 

in fiction, drama and film, exploring how the author 

and her publishers adapted the tales to suit various 

markets. The analysis offers particularly valuable 

insights into the mass-reading public of the early 

twentieth century. Sally Dugan creates a convincing 

explication of the staying power of an unlikely 

popular myth…” 

—Judith Fisher, Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas 

Since its publication in 1905, The Scarlet Pimpernel 

has experienced global success, not only as 

a novel but in theatrical and film adaptations. 

Drawing on extensive archival research, Dugan 

charts the history of Baroness Orczy’s elusive hero, 

from the novel’s origins through its continuing 

afterlife. Dugan explores the mystery of this imperialist 

English gentleman, originally conceived by Orczy 

as an anarchist Pole, and traces his durability 

as a worldwide phenomenon.

Orczy,’ Englishness and the Scarlet Pimpernel;

The Labors of Modernism 

Domesticity, Servants, and Authorship 

in Modernist Fiction 

Mary Wilson, Christopher Newport University 

In The Labors of Modernism, Wilson analyzes 

the unrecognized role of domestic servants 

in the experimental forms and narratives 

of Modernist fiction by Virginia Woolf, Gertrude 

Stein, Nella Larsen and Jean Rhys. She shows 

that the liminal position of servants in these texts 

forces the reader to recognize servants not just 

as characters, but as conditions for the production 

of literature and of the homes in which literature 

is created. 

Contents: Introduction: reading, writing, serving: 

the thresholds of modernism; Cooks at the threshold: 

domestic disturbances and modernist rewritings in 

Virginia Woolf; Writing at the margins: Stein’s servant 

protagonists and the modernist form of Three Lives; 

‘Working like a colored person’: race, service, and 

identity in Passing; Women in the attic: domestic 

servants, imperial paranoia, and modernist 

domesticity in Wide Sargasso Sea; Conclusion:

French Crime 

Fiction, 1945–2005 

Investigating World War II 

Margaret-Anne Hutton, University 

of St. Andrews, UK 

“Impressive in its span, this lively, authoritative 

and interesting analysis of crime fiction devoted 

to the Second World War and Occupation in French 

is a valuable addition to the critical literature.” 

—Margaret Atack, University of Leeds, UK 

In the first major study of representations of World 

War II in French crime fiction, Margaret-Anne Hutton 

draws on a corpus of over 150 texts spanning sixty 

years. Filling a gap in the fields of both crime fiction 

and fictional representations of the War, Hutton’s 

book calls into question the way both this popular 

genre and the French theatre of World War II have 

been conceptualized and codified.

Gothic Topographies 

Language, Nation Building and Race 

Edited by P.M. Mehtonen, Academy of Finland 

and University of Tampere and Matti Savolainen, 

University of Tampere, Finland 

“A wonderful collection, impressive in its 

internationalism and its careful attention 

to real and symbolic geographies. I do not 

know of any other collection that considers 

the Gothic as a global phenomenon in such 

detailed and rigorous ways.” 

—Kelly Hurley, University of Colorado, Boulder 

This collection takes up the influence of the Gothic 

mode in literatures that may be geographically 

remote from one another but still share related issues 

of minor languages, nation building, place and race. 

The essays explore the transgressions and confusion 

of borders and limits, whether they be linguistic, 

literary, generic, class-based, gendered or sexual. 

Experts in the Gothic and those new to the field 

will appreciate the book’s commitment to situating 

Gothic sensibilities in an international context.

Anglophone Indian Women 

Writers, 1870–1920 

Ellen Brinks, Colorado State University 

Brinks examines the work of Toru Dutt, Krupabai 

Satthianadhan, Pandita Ramabai, Cornelia Sorabji 

and Sarojini Naidu. These women are deeply rooted 

and connected to both South Asian and Western 

cultures who found large audiences in their public 

roles as writers, reformers, activists and cultural 

translators. Informed by extensive archival work, 

Brinks’ close readings of their literary writings 

suggest new ways of understanding a range 

of issues central to feminist postcolonial studies. 

Contents: Introduction; Translating Hindustan: 

Toru Dutt’s poems and letters; Gendered spaces 

and conjugal reform in Krupabai Satthianadhan’s

on a wide range of European and American 

modernists—including James Joyce, Marcel Proust, 

Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, H.D., 

Ford Madox Ford, Samuel Beckett, Ralph Ellison

The Fox-Hunting 

Controversy, 1781–2004 

Class and Cruelty 

Allyson N. May, The University of Western Ontario 

“This is an engaging book, a fascinating read, which 

combines the social and literary histories of fox 

hunting from the eighteenth century to the present 

day. Scholars as well as the general reader will 

savor the subtle analysis of class and other social 

relationships, of the place of the pony in children’s 

literature and the astute judgments about the 

surprisingly widespread references to the hunt 

in recent as well as older literary works.” 

—Douglas Hay, York University 

Hugely popular in its own day, Peter Beckford’s 

Thoughts on Hunting is often cited as marking the 

birth of modern hunting and continues to be quoted 

from affectionately today by the hunting fraternity. 

This study explores the attacks made on fox hunting 

from 1781 to the legal ban achieved in 2004, as well 

as assessing the reasons for its continued appeal 

and post-ban survival. Chapters cover debates 

in the areas of: class and hunting; concerns over 

cruelty and animal welfare; party politics; the hunt 

in literature; and nostalgia. 

Contents: Introduction; The field; ‘The cricket 

of savages’?: class and cruelty; ‘Come hup! I say, 

you hugly beast!’: the hunt in literature; Labour 

and the fox; The flight from modernity: nostalgia 

and the hunt; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.

Literary Form 

as Postcolonial Critique 

Epic Proportions 

Katharine Burkitt, University of Liège, Belgium 

Focusing on works by Derek Walcott, Les Murray, 

Anne Carson and Bernardine Evaristo, Burkitt 

investigates the relationship between literary form 

and textual politics in postcolonial narrative poems 

and verse-novels. Her book makes a critical 

intervention in the politics of literary form 

as she notes the way works by these authors 

disrupt and undermine the expectations attached 

to particular genres and literary traditions. 

Contents: Introduction; Narrative histories 

and postcolonial perspectives in Les Murray’s Fredy 

Neptune; Post-epic national identities in Bernardine 

Evaristo’s The Emperor’s Babe; Hero versus

Ludics in Surrealist 

Theatre and Beyond 

Vassiliki Rapti, Harvard University 

Ashgate Studies in Surrealism 

This study reconsiders Surrealist theater specifically 

from the perspective of ludics—a poetics of play and 

games—an ideal approach to the Surrealists, whose 

games blur the boundaries between the “playful” 

and the “serious.” Beginning with the Surrealists’ 

“one-into-another” game and its illustration 

of Breton’s ludic dramatic theory, Rapti examines 

the traces of this kind of game in the works of a wide 

variety of Surrealist and Post-Surrealist playwrights 

and stage directors. 

Contents: Introduction: does surrealist theatre 

exist?; The surrealist game ‘one into another’ 

in Nadja and Les Détraquées: reconstructing André 

Breton’s ludic dramatic theory; Staging ‘mad love’ 

in the Théâtre Alfred Jarry: Breton’s ludic dramatic 

theory in practice; Staging child’s play in Roger 

Vitrac’s Victor or Children in Power: between Paida 

and Ludus; Mimicry and post-surrealist ludics 

in Megan Terry’s ‘theatre of transformations’;

Modern Print Activism 

in the United States 

Edited by Rachel Schreiber, The California 

College of the Arts 

“In an era increasingly dominated by digital social 

media and their remarkable potential for today’s 

political activists, this thought-provoking collection 

illuminates the crucial role mass print culture played 

in the birth of modern activism…Essential reading 

for scholars of print culture, modernism, post-WWII 

political and social history, media studies and visual 

culture, and, indeed, for anyone interested in this 

turbulent period of American history.” 

—Mark S. Morrisson, Penn State University, co-editor 

of the Journal of Modern Periodical Studies 

Print media have been used throughout the twentieth 

century to promote social and political activism. 

At a time when the golden age of print appears 

to be ending, Modern Print Activism in the United 

States argues that print activism should be studied 

as a specifically modernist phenomenon and poses 

questions related to the efficacy of print as a vehicle 

for social and political change.

Joyce’s Love Stories 

Christopher DeVault, Mount Mercy University 

In his comprehensive study of love in James Joyce’s 

writings, DeVault shows that Joyce frequently 

ties his characters’ personal and political pursuits 

to their ability to affirm both their loved ones and 

their fellow Dubliners. For Joyce, love for others need 

not compromise one’s personal desires, but rather 

offers the possibility of a broader social compassion 

that creates a more progressive body politic.

Ritual and the Idea of Europe 

in Interwar Writing 

Patrick R. Query, United States Military Academy 

Query examines the ways interwar writers use three 

European ritual forms—verse drama, bullfighting 

and Roman Catholic rite—to articulate ideas 

of European cultural identity. Although these ritual 

forms were frequently associated with the most 

conservative tendencies of the age, Query shows 

that each had a remarkable political flexibility 

in the hands of interwar writers including T.S. Eliot, 

W.B. Yeats, W.H. Auden, D.H. Lawrence, Stephen 

Spender, Cecil Day Lewis, Graham Greene, Evelyn 

Waugh and David Jones. 

Contents: Introduction: making, watching, and

Shell Shock and 

the Modernist Imagination 

The Death Drive in Post-World 

War I British Fiction 

Wyatt Bonikowski, Suffolk University 

Bonikowski examines how the figure of the shellshocked 

soldier and the symptoms of war trauma 

were transformed in novels by Ford Madox Ford, 

Rebecca West and Virginia Woolf. Situating his 

study with respect to Freud’s concept of the death 

drive, Bonikowski shows how these novelists drew 

on the traumatic effects of shell shock to explore 

the link between the public events of history 

and the intimate traumas of the relations 

between self and other.

traces of war; The invisible wound: shell shock 

and psychoanalysis; Transports of a wartime

The Thinking Space 

The Cafe as a Cultural Institution 

in Paris, Italy and Vienna 

Edited by Leona Rittner, W. Scott Haine 

and Jeffrey H. Jackson 

The café as an institutional site has been the subject 

of renewed interest among scholars in the past 

decade, and its role in the development of art, 

ideas and culture has been explored in some detail. 

However, few have investigated the ways in which 

cafés create a cultural and intellectual space which 

brings together multiple influences and intellectual 

practices and shapes the urban settings of which 

they are a part. This volume brings together an 

international group of scholars who consider cafes 

as sites of intellectual discourse from across Europe 

during the long modern period.

and cultural significance, Herbert Lederer;

a noteworthy contribution to the field of postcolonial

W.B. Yeats, Ezra Pound,

Sean Pryor, University of New 

South Wales, Australia 

“…this lively and sensitive book has much 

to commend it. It is learned and to the point 

in situating the problems and solutions of Yeats 

and Pound in the context of the nineteenthcentury 

crisis of faith, and in the process has 

some acute points to make about Wordsworth’s 

Excursion, Coleridge’s ‘Kubla Khan’ and Keats’ 

Endymion…It offers some fascinating insights 

into the composition of some of the finest works 

of each poet by having frequent recourse 

to manuscript dramas.”

The Ekphrastic Encounter 

in Contemporary British 

Poetry and Elsewhere 

David Kennedy, University of Hull, UK 

“Offering authoritative and trenchant readings 

of theoretical and poetic texts, David Kennedy provides 

a new way of understanding the stakes of ekphrasis.” 

—Jane Hedley, Bryn Mawr College, co-editor 

of In the Frame: Women’s Ekphrastic Poetry 

from Marianne Moore to Susan Wheeler 

Examining a wide range of ekphrastic poems, 

Kennedy argues that contemporary British poets 

writing out of both mainstream and avant-garde 

traditions challenge established critical models 

of ekphrasis with work that is more complex than 

representational or counter-representational 

responses to paintings in museums and galleries. 

Contents: Introduction; ‘The shape of time’: 

ekphrasis and the contemporary moment. 

Part 1: The Ekphrastic Encounter: The ekphrastic 

encounter: representation, enquiry and critique; 

Reframing the ekphrastic canon from Keats 

to Ashbery. Part 2: The Contemporary British 

Ekphrastic Poem: Possible scenes: ekphrasis 

and trends in post-war British poetry; Varieties 

of ekphrasis: framing histories, framed narratives. 

Part 3: Ekphrasis and the Female: Shifting mirrors:

traditions, contemporary voices. Part 4: Beyond 

Painting: Meta-pictures and meta-languages: 

philosophy and ekphrasis; Inside the image:

Journalism 1935–1939 

Stephen Broad, Royal Conservatoire 

of Scotland, UK 

A Yankee Book Peddler US Core Title for 2012 

“For those who only know Messiaen’s later writings, 

Olivier Messiaen: Journalism 1935–1939 will be 

a revelation…Broad adroitly assesses Messiaen’s 

written style and the recurrent themes found 

in the journalism, while succinctly providing 

context, and the translations of Messiaen’s 

texts elegantly capture his voice.” 

—Christopher Dingle, Birmingham Conservatoire, 

UK and author of The Life of Messiaen 

This is the first edition of Messiaen’s early 

journalism and provides both the original French 

text and an English translation. Many of the articles 

included in this collection are new to the Messiaen 

bibliography, and others are available here for 

the first time in English. This edition, therefore, 

represents a new source for understanding 

Messiaen and provides a fascinating glimpse 

of the composer in the early part of his career.

The Political in Margaret 

Atwood’s Fiction 

The Writing on the Wall of the Tent 

Theodore F. Sheckels, Randolph-Macon College 

Suggesting that politics and power are at the center 

of Margaret Atwood’s fiction, Sheckels examines 

Atwood’s novels from The Edible Woman to The Year 

of the Flood. Sheckels stresses that Atwood’s work 

should not be viewed as political commentary 

but rather as a creative treatment of the laudable, 

but ultimately only partially successful ways in 

which women and other groups resist the constraints 

placed on them by institutionalized oppression. 

Contents: Preface; Introduction. Part 1: 

(I) Exteriority: The Edible Woman; Surfacing; 

Lady Oracle; Life Before Man. Part 2: Politics

The Postcolonial Eye 

White Australian Desire 

and the Visual Field of Race 

Alison Ravenscroft, La Trobe University, Australia 

“This exquisitely written and important book combines 

the most sophisticated aspects of critical theory with 

the important question of race and vision. In focusing 

on the contemporary Australian scene, Ravenscroft 

demonstrates an acute, tortured and urgent problem 

of race…The Postcolonial Eye will be hailed as a major 

contribution to race theory, postcolonial theory, 

political theory and ethics.” 

—Claire Colebrook, Penn State University 

The Postcolonial Eye is about the “eye” and the 

“I” in the contemporary Australian scene of race, 

specifically the subjectivity of vision and the troubled 

project of knowing one another across the cultural 

divide between white and Indigenous Australia. 

Though located in Australian Studies, Ravenscroft’s 

book, in its interrogation of race and whiteness and 

engagement with European and American literature 

and criticism, has far-reaching implications 

for understanding the important question 

of race and vision. 

Contents: Introduction: scenes of race. Part I: 

‘There Is and Can Be No Brute Vision’: The eye 

and the ‘I.’ Part II: When the Other Disappears from 

My Line of Sight: Coming to matter: the grounds 

of our embodied difference; What falls from view? 

On re-reading Plains of Promise; Dreaming of others: 

Carpentaria and its critics; A postcolonial uncanny. 

Part III: The Image of My Own Desire: White men as 

hidden spectators; White women looking on; ‘Matron 

always carried a small whip’. Part IV: Whiteness 

and Its Veils: Darkness casts its light: Australian 

blackface; Resisting a white spectator’s enjoyment: 

Benang’s aesthetics; Bibliography; Index.

Queer Environmentality 

Ecology, Evolution, and Sexuality 

in American Literature 

Robert Azzarello, Southern University 

at New Orleans 

“In Queer Environmentality, Robert Azzarello 

combines an environmental/evolutionary emphasis 

with selected elements of queer theory to re-situate 

texts by Thoreau, Melville, Cather and Barnes, and 

the resulting readings are dazzling. In a nuanced 

and sophisticated analysis, he demonstrates 

not only the ethical and aesthetic potentials 

of queer environmentality, but also its historical 

roots in texts considered canonical to ecocritical 

and queer scholarship.” 

—Catriona Sandilands, York University 

Offering a model for meaningful dialogue between 

queer and environmental studies, Azzarello’s book 

traces a queer-environmental lineage in American 

Romantic and post-Romantic literature. Azzarello’s 

study treats four American authors—Henry David 

Thoreau, Herman Melville, Willa Cather and Djuna 

Barnes—all of whom problematize conventional 

notions of the matrix between the human, the 

natural and the sexual and challenge the assumption 

that the subject of American environmental literature 

is essentially heterosexual. 

Contents: Nature and its discontents; Thoreau’s 

queer environmentality; Melville’s apples of Sodom; 

Cather’s onto-theology of oikos; Barnes’s queerly 

Nietzschean nature; The philosophical upshot;

Still Songs: Music In 

and Around the Poetry 

of Paul Celan 

Axel Englund, Stockholm University, Sweden 

“…Axel Englund shows with meticulous 

argument and in lucid prose that Celan’s lifelong 

return to figures of music forms a key arena for 

the playing out of his conflicted identity as a modern 

poet, and in particular as a poet whose modernity 

is overdetermined—but far from exhausted— 

by his experience as a survivor of the Holocaust.” 

—Lawrence Kramer, Fordham University 

What does it mean for poetry and music to turn to 

each other in the shadow of the Holocaust, as means 

of aesthetic self-reflection? How can their mutual 

mirroring, of such paramount importance to German 

Romanticism, be reconfigured to retain its validity 

after the Second World War? These are the core 

questions of Axel Englund’s book, which is the first 

to address the topic of Paul Celan and music. 

Contents: Introduction: poetry and music in conflict 

and convergence; Play death sweeter: musicality, 

metaphoricity, murder; Fire in the harp, in her hair: 

the lied and the lullaby; Rises and plays: interruptive 

repetition and the law of musical purity; Into you, 

into you I sing: spasmodic speech and the borders 

of the human body; We resound: music in and 

beyond the first person plural; Shattered the songs: 

dissonances of a German-Jewish musicality; 


Includes 2 b&w illustrations and 30 music examples

Kierkegaard’s Influence 

on Literature, Criticism 

and Art—Sweden and Norway 

Edited by Jon Stewart, University 

of Cophenhagen, Denmark 

Kierkegaard Research: Sources, 

Reception and Resources 

While Kierkegaard is primarily known as 

a philosopher or religious thinker, his writings 

have also been used extensively by literary writers, 

critics and artists. This use can be traced in the work 

of major cultural figures not just in Denmark and 

Scandinavia but also in the wider world. They have 

been attracted to his creative mixing of genres, his 

complex use of pseudonyms, his rhetoric and literary 

style, and his rich images, parables and allegories. 

Tome III investigates the works of Swedish 

and Norwegian writers and artists inspired 

by Kierkegaard.

America in Literature and Film 

Modernist Perceptions, 

Postmodernist Representations 

Ahmed Elbeshlawy 

Utilizing Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory and Žižek’s 

philosophical adaption of it, this book brings into 

dialogue a series of literary works, films and critical 

theory that are concerned with defining America. 

Elbeshlawy demonstrates that texts that particularly 

focus on explaining how other texts about America 

communicate an unreliable message, themselves 

communicate an untrustworthy message. Writers 

and films discussed include Adorno, Kafka, Sontag, 

Said, Hassan, Dogville and Birth of a Nation.
