UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO PRESS March 692 pages, 7 x 10” ISBN 0-8263-2813-X paper, $49.95 CRO The Battle of the Sexes in Science Fiction Justine Larbalestier This is a lively account of the role of women and feminism in the development of American science fiction. Beginning in 1926, with the publication of Amazing Stories, Larbalestier examines science fiction’s engagement with femininity, masculinity, sex, and sexuality. She traces the debates over the place of women and feminism in science fiction as it emerged in stories, letters, and articles in science fiction magazines and fanzines. The book ends with the story of James Tiptree, Jr. and the eponymous Award. Tiptree was a successful SF writer of the 1970s who was discovered to be a woman. Her acceptance by the male-dominated SF publishing arena proved that there was no difference in the way men and women wrote, only in the way they were read. Justine Larbalestier is a research fellow in the Department of English, University of Sydney. WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY PRESS UNIVERSITY PRESS OF NEW ENGLAND June 252 pages, 6 x 9”, illus.

Lilley These essays tackle issues in Cormac McCarthy’s writing not previously discussed by critics, such as gender and race. Some of the contributors see racist attitudes in McCarthy’s views of Mexico, whereas others praise his depiction of US-Mexico border culture and contact. Several of the essays approach McCarthy’s work from the perspective of ecocriticism, focusing on his representations of the natural world and the relationships that his characters forge with their geographical environments. By exploring the author’s use of and attitudes toward language, other contributors examine his complex and innovative storytelling techniques. James D. Lilley is a Ph D candidate in English at Princeton University.

Literature WWW.UBCPRESS.CA/LITERATURE Novel Shakespeares Twentieth-century Women Novelists and Appropriation Julie Sanders Much recent fiction by women has appropriated and adapted themes and plot structures found in Shakespearean drama. International in scope, this study looks at a number of these fascinating texts, including novels by authors from the UK, USA, Canada, South Africa, and Australia and set in locations covering the globe. In the process, environmental theory, the Hollywood and Bollywood film industries, detective fiction, children’s literature, and the politics of postcolonialism, amongst other topics, are examined. Angela Carter’s Wise Children, Marina Warner’s Indigo, and Jane Smiley’s A Thousand Acres are discussed alongside less familiar works including Susan Cooper’s King of Shadows, Leslie Forbes’s Bombay Ice, and Kate Atkinson’s Human Croquet. Julie Sanders is Reader in English at Keele University. MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY PRESS March 240 pages, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2" ISBN 0-7190-5816-3 paper, $36.95 CRO Uncovering the Mind Unamuno, the Unknown, and the Vicissitudes of Self Alison Sinclair This revision of the intellectual context of the Spanish philosopher and novelist Miguel de Unamuno offers a psychoanalytic re-reading of some of his key literary works. Sinclair revises our concept of Unamuno’s intellectual parameters and highlights his consistent openness to burning intellectual and scientific issues. In essays on seven major literary texts, she performs a different contextualization. Differing yet complementary psychoanalytic viewpoints, from Freud, Lacan, and Object Relations provide the framework for presenting Unamuno’s view of the self: primitive, beleaguered yet curious, defensive yet exploring, both a part of social relations and constructed by them, and simultaneously resisting and struggling in the process. Alison Sinclair is Reader in Modern Spanish Lierature and Intellectual History, University of Cambridge. MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY PRESS February 256 pages, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2" ISBN 0-7190-6145-8 paper, $38.95 CRO On Spiders, Cyborgs and Being Scared The Feminine and the Sublime Joanne Zylinska An innovative exploration of an important concept in cultural debates – the sublime – this book poses questions for the sublime of earlier theorists and explores the concepts of feminism and its rethinking of sexual difference. Inspired by the spider’s work, Zylinska weaves her text from a web of seemingly heterogeneous discourses in an actual “performance” of her argument. The result is a book that blurs the boundaries between cultural theory and textual practice to produce an ethics of the feminine sublime. Joanna Zylinska is Lecturer in Cultural Studies, Bath Spa University College.
