That or Which, and Why
A Usage Guide for Thoughtful Writers and Editors
Evan Jenkins, Columbia Journalism Review, USA
’A brilliant and entertaining
romp through difficult
questions of English usage. As
authoritative as it is witty, it
belongs on the desk of every
editor, writer, and student of
the language.’ – Gene Roberts,
former Managing Editor, The
New York Times
That or Which, and Why is an
insightful and witty guide to
writing. Based on Evan Jenkins’
long-running column ‘Language
Corner’ in Columbia Journalism Review, the book is
compiled of brief, alphabetically arranged entries on
approximately 200 major writing stumbling blocks,
from the wonderful world of ‘that’ and ‘which’ to
trickier terrain like the correct usage of common
idiomatic expressions.
Working from his experiences as a newsroom editor and
teacher, Jenkins’ humorous tone puts the reader at ease,
unlike many of the writing and usage guides out there
that are off-putting in their rigidity and dogmatism.
He takes the ‘we’re-all-in-this-together’ approach to
teaching better writing – maintaining a light tone
throughout the book and emphasizing flexibility and
easy-to-use guidelines rather than delivering orders from
Grammar-on-high.

Myth
Laurence Coupe, Manchester Metropolitan
University, UK
From Shakespeare’s The Tempest
to Atwood’s The Handmaid’s
Tale, from Coppola’s Apocalypse
Now to the Wachowski
brothers’ The Matrix, writers and
film directors have made and
remade ‘Myth’.
Laurence Coupe not only offers
students a comprehensive
overview of the way that the
concept of ‘Myth’ has
developed, but also shows how
mythic themes, structures and
symbols have persisted into literature and entertainment
of the present day. This introductory volume:
• illustrates the relation between myth, culture and
literature with discussions of poetry, fiction, film and
popular song
• explores uses made of the term ‘Myth’ within the
fields of literary criticism, anthropology, cultural
studies, feminism, Marxism and psychoanalysis
• discusses the association between modernism,
postmodernism, myth and history
• familiarizes the reader with themes such as the dying
god, the quest for the grail, the relation between ‘chaos’
and ‘cosmos’, and the vision of the end of time
• demonstrates the growing importance of the green
dimension of myth.
Fully updated and revised in this new edition, Myth is a
comprehensive introduction to one of the most important
and fascinating aspects of cultural narrative, offering both
a useful tool to students first approaching the topic and a
valuable contribution to the study of myth itself.

The Historical Novel
Jerome de Groot, University of Manchester, UK
The historical novel is not only an immensely popular
genre, but also one that raises fascinating questions
about the nature of key foundational concepts such as
fact and fiction, history, reading and writing. This
wide-ranging guide offers an accessible introduction to
both the genre and the critical debates around it.
In this volume, Jerome de Groot:
• traces the development of the genre, from early
eighteenth-century novels concerned with history through
to postmodern and contemporary historical fiction
• looks at different styles of historical novel, from
sensational or ‘low’ genre through to literary fiction,
and examines related issues of audience, reception,
‘value’ and ‘authenticity’
• examines the many functions of historical fiction,
particularly the challenges it might pose to accepted
histories and the postmodern questioning of ‘grand
narratives’
• relates the form to the wider cultural sphere, with
reference to historical or historiographical theory, the
Internet, television and film.

Lyric
Scott Brewster, University of Salford, UK
The term ‘lyric’ has evolved,
been revised, redefined and
even contested over the
centuries. This fascinating
volume traces the history of the
term from its classical origins
through the early modern,
Romantic and Victorian periods
and up to the twentieth century.
Offering clarity and structure to
this often intense and emotive
field, Scott Brewster uses as a
focal point the three aspects of:
• the lyric ‘self’
• love and desire in the lyric
• the relationship between lyric, poetry and performance.
Demonstrating the influence of various definitions of
lyric on poetic practice, literature, music and other
popular cultural forms, this book is an essential resource
for students of literature, performance, music and
cultural studies.

Edward Said is perhaps best

• exile, identity and the plight of Palestine
• a new chapter looking at Said’s later work and style.

2ND EDITION
Critical Theory Today
A User-Friendly Guide
Lois Tyson, Grand Valley State University, USA
This second edition of the classic
guide offers a thorough and
accessible introduction to
contemporary critical theory. It
provides in-depth coverage of
the most common approaches
to literary analysis today:
feminism, psychoanalysis,
Marxism, reader-response theory,
new criticism, structuralism and
semiotics, deconstruction, new
historicism, cultural criticism,
lesbian/gay/queer theory,
African-American criticism, and postcolonial criticism.
The chapters provide an extended explanation of each
theory, using examples from everyday life, popular
culture, and literary texts; a list of specific questions
critics who use that theory ask about literary texts; an
interpretation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby
through the lens of each theory; a list of questions for
further practice to guide readers in applying each theory
to different literary works; and a bibliography of primary
and secondary works for further reading. This book can
be used as the only text in a course or as a precursor to
the study of primary theoretical works. It motivates
readers by showing them what critical theory can offer
in terms of their practical understanding of literary texts
and in terms of their personal understanding of
themselves and the world in which they live.
Both engaging and rigorous, it is a ‘how-to’ book for
undergraduate and graduate students new to critical
theory and for college professors who want to broaden
their repertoire of critical approaches to literature.

Continuing Theory
Peter Barry, Aberystwyth University, UK
Literary theory has changed and evolved in recent years,
with some even claiming it is dead. Peter Barry picks up
on these shifts and engages with current debates to
emphasize the continuing significance of theory today.
In a lucid and engaging style, this guide introduces
readers to:
• the dominant debates involving the life, death and
future of theory
• the way that existing theories have evolved, such as
the move from ‘Historicism’ to a ‘New Formalism’
• the relevance of new theories such as ‘Presentism’,
‘Deep’ narratology and the move toward
performativity and performance in gender studies
• the ‘spiritual’ in literature, along with the rise of
theology and the turn to god as a focus for interpretation
• the move from postcolonial to transnational or global
literatures.
Offering a lively and up-to-date introduction to the
ever-changing and contentious field of literary theory,
this guide shows the lasting relevance and even
necessity of continuing theory.

Modernism and Theory
A Critical Debate
Edited by Stephen Ross, University of Victoria,
Canada
Modernism and Theory boldly
asks what – if any – role theory
has to play in the new modernist
studies. Separated into three
sections, each with a clear
introduction, this collection of
new essays from leading critics
outlines ongoing debates on the
nature of modernist culture.
This collection:
• examines aesthetic and
methodological links between
modernist literature and theory
• addresses questions of the importance of theory to
our understanding of ‘modernism’ and modernism
as a literary category
• considers intersections of modernism and theory
within ethics, ecocriticism and the avant-garde.
Concluding with an afterword from Fredric Jameson,
the book makes use of an innovative dialogic format,
offering a direct and engaging experience of the current
debate in modernist studies.

The Trauma Question
Roger Luckhurst, Birkbeck, University of London,
UK
In this book, Roger Luckhurst
both introduces and advances
the fields of cultural memory
and trauma studies, tracing the
ways in which ideas of trauma
have become a major element in
contemporary Western
conceptions of the self.
The Trauma Question outlines
the origins of the concept of
trauma across psychiatric, legal
and cultural-political sources
from the 1860s to the coining
of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in 1980. It further
explores the nature and extent of ‘trauma culture’ from
1980 to the present, drawing upon a range of cultural
practices from literature, memoirs and confessional
journalism through to photography and film. The study
covers a diverse range of cultural works, including
writers such as Toni Morrison, Stephen King and W.G.
Sebald, artists Tracey Emin, Christian Boltanski and
Tracey Moffatt, and film-makers David Lynch and Atom
Egoyan.
The Trauma Question offers a significant and fascinating
step forward for those seeking a greater understanding
of the controversial and ever-expanding field of trauma
research.

Reading Sexualities
Hermeneutic Theory and the Future of
Queer Studies
Donald Hall, West Virginia University, USA
Reading Sexualities attempts to
invigorate and revitalize the field
of radical sexuality studies.
Drawing widely on the field of
hermeneutic theory and the
works of the German
philosopher Hans-Georg
Gadamer, Donald E. Hall:
• urges readers to embrace a
far-reaching dialogic practice
as a mechanism for furthering
radical social change
• examines the vexed ethical,
critical, and political questions arising from modern
sexual practices and possibilities
• reads the changing landscape of sexual identity,
finding great cause for optimism and enthusiastic
political engagement.
Reading Sexualities shows how our sexual desires and
bases for identification are being challenged and
changed, and argues that by approaching the reading
of sexualities responsibly, we become active participants
in the political, empowering process of reading the self
through the perspective of the other.

Escaping Texts
Hélène Cixous
A ‘wilful extremist’ according to
the London Times, Hélène
Cixous is hailed as one of the
most formidable writers and
thinkers of our time. Acclaimed
by luminaries such as Jacques
Derrida, her writing has
nonetheless been misunderstood

Stigmata, one of her greatest
works into the Routledge
Classics series, this is about to
change. Questions that have long concerned her – the
self and the other, autobiographies of writing, sexual
difference, literary theory, post-colonial theory, death
and life – are explored here, woven into a stunning
narrative. Displaying a remarkable virtuosity, the work
of Cixous is heady stuff indeed: exciting, powerful,
moving, and dangerous.

The Location of Culture
Homi Bhabha, Harvard University, USA
Rethinking questions of identity,
social agency and national
affiliation, Homi Bhabha provides
a working, if controversial,
theory of cultural hybridity – one
that goes far beyond previous
attempts by others. In The
Location of Culture, he uses
concepts such as mimicry,
interstice, hybridity, and liminality
to argue that cultural production
is always most productive where
it is most ambivalent. Speaking
in a voice that combines intellectual ease with the belief
that theory itself can contribute to practical political
change, Bhabha has become one of the leading
post-colonial theorists of this era.

’What is at stake in this

Pierre Macherey’s first and most
famous work, A Theory of Literary Production dared to
challenge perceived wisdom, and quickly established
him as a pivotal figure in literary theory. The reissue of

The Genesis of the Chicago

Theodore Dreiser, Langston Hughes, Richard

This study examines the genesis of Chicago’s two
identified literary renaissance periods (1890-1920 and
1930-1950) through the writings of Dreiser, Hughes,
Wright, and Farrell. Although Dreiser, Wright, and Farrell
are more commonly thought of as Chicago writers, this
study argues that Langston Hughes is a transitional,
pivotal figure between the two periods. Through close
readings and contextualization, the influence of Chicago
writing on American literature – in such areas as realism
and naturalism, as well as proletarian and ethnic fiction
– becomes apparent.

Looking at texts including Jean Toomer’s Cane, Toni

Parham describes the phenomena of haunting,

memory – conscious and unconscious, individual and
collective – often drive African American cultural
production, but such memory often arrives to artists from
elsewhere, from other times, spaces, and experiences.

Modern American Counter Writing
Beats, Outriders, Ethnics
A. Robert Lee, Nihon University, Japan
The dissident voice in US culture might almost be said
to have been born with the territory. Its span runs from
Roger Williams to Thoreau, Anne Bradstreet to Gertrude
Stein, Ambrose Bierce to the New Journalism, The Beats
to the recent Bad Subjects cyber-crowd. This new study
analyzes three recent literary tranches in the tradition: a
re-envisioning of the whole Beat web or circuit; a
consortium of postwar ‘outrider’ voices – Hunter
Thompson to Frank Chin, Joan Didion to Kathy Acker;
and a latest purview of what, all too casually, has been
designated ‘ethnic’ writing. The aim is to set up and
explore these different counter-seams of modern
American writing, those which sit outside, or at least
awkwardly within, agreed literary canons.

The Politics of Identity in Irish Drama
W.B. Yeats, Augusta Gregory and J.M. Synge
George Cusack, University of Oklahoma, USA
This study examines the early dramatic works of Yeats,
Synge, and Gregory in the context of late colonial
Ireland’s unique socio-political landscape. By
contextualizing each author’s work within the artistic
and political discourses of their time, Cusack
demonstrates the complex negotiation of nationalism,
class, and gender identities undertaken by these three
authors in the years leading up to Ireland’s revolution
against England. Furthermore, by focusing on a few
plays written by each author in the context of the
ongoing debates over Irish national identity which were
taking place throughout Irish public life in this period,
Cusack examines in more depth than previous studies
the ways Yeats, Gregory, and Synge adapted
conventional dramatic and linguistic forms to
accommodate the conflicting claims of Irish nationalism.
In so doing, he demonstrates the contribution these
authors made not only to the development of Irish
nationalism but also to modern and postcolonial
literature as we understand them today.

‘Inger Brodey has written a book of remarkable
vitality about the fascination with ruins across
eighteenth-century Europe. The book is both
interdisciplinary and international. Instead of
focusing on a single field like poetry, painting, or
garden design in isolation, she uncovers their
shared penchant for fragmentation which defines
the culture of sensibility. Few authors writing on
the fashion of ruins have penetrated this
well-known phenomenon so deeply and
intelligently.’ – Wu Hung, Harrie A. Vanderstappen
Distinguished Professor, University of Chicago, USA
By examining the motif of ruination in a variety of
late-eighteenth-century domains, this book portrays the
moral aesthetic of the culture of sensibility in Europe,
particularly its negotiation of the demands of tradition
and pragmatism alongside utopian longings for
authenticity, natural goodness, self-governance, mutual
transparency, and instantaneous kinship.

’Imperial Eyes is a seminal
work in the study of travel
writing, demonstrating an
inventive use of canonical

from the archive of European
travel writing, and from the
colonial ‘contact zone’. Its
critical insights are drawn
eclectically from discourse
analysis, gender criticism,
postcolonialism,
anthropology, and literary

Book History Through
Postcolonial Eyes
Re-writing the Script
Robert Fraser, The Open University, UK
This surprising study draws
together the disparate fields of
postcolonial theory and book
history in a challenging and
illuminating way.
Robert Fraser proposes that we
now look beyond the traditional
methods of the Anglo-European
bibliographic paradigm, and
learn to appreciate instead the
diversity of shapes that verbal
expression has assumed across
different societies. This change
of attitude will encourage students and researchers to
question developmentally conceived models of
communication, and move instead to a re-formulation
of just what is meant by a book, an author, a text.
Fraser illustrates his combined approach with
comparative case studies of print, script and speech
cultures in South Asia and Africa, before panning out to
examine conflicts and paradoxes arising in parallel
contexts. The re-orientation of approach and the
freshness of view offered by this volume will foster
understanding and creative collaboration between
scholars of different outlooks, while offering a radical
critique to those identified in its concluding section as
purveyors of global literary power.

Postcolonial Ecocriticism
Helen Tiffin, Queen’s University, Ontario, Canada

In Postcolonial Ecocriticism Graham Huggan and Helen
Tiffin examine relationships between humans, animals
and the environment in postcolonial texts. Making use of
the work of authors as diverse as J.M. Coetzee, Joseph
Conrad, Daniel Defoe, Jamaica Kincaid and V.S. Naipaul,
the authors argue that human liberation will never be
fully achieved without challenging how human societies
have constructed themselves in hierarchical relation to
other human and nonhuman communities, and without
imagining new ways in which these ecologically
connected groupings can be creatively transformed.

Caliban’s Voice
The Transformation of English in Post-Colonial
Literatures
Bill Ashcroft, University of Hong Kong
In Shakespeare’s Tempest,
Caliban says to Miranda and
Prospero:
‘...you taught me language, and
my profit on’t
Is, I know how to curse.’
With this statement, he gives
voice to an issue that lies at the
centre of post-colonial studies.
Can Caliban own Prospero’s
language? Can he use it to do
more than curse?
Caliban’s Voice examines the ways in which post-colonial
literatures have transformed English to redefine what we
understand to be ‘English Literature’.
Using the figure of Caliban, Bill Ashcroft weaves a
consistent and resonant thread through his discussion
of the post-colonial experience of life in the English
language, and the power of its transformation into new
and creative forms.

Postcolonial Life-Writing
Bart Moore-Gilbert, University of London, UK
At a time when concepts of identity and self-representation
are abundant in both literary and cultural studies,
Postcolonial Life-Writing, brings together the two
increasingly popular and important fields of postcolonial
studies and life-writing.
In this study, Bart Moore-Gilbert:
• identifies the ways in which conceptions of Self in
canonical western autobiography are inflected by
engagements with the figure of the non-western Other
• defines colonial autobiography as a sub-genre which
lies between metropolitan western autobiography and
postcolonial life-writing in terms of its handling of the
dialectic between Self and (non-western) Other
• specifies some of the key characteristics of
postcolonial autobiography which differentiate it from
its western equivalents, notably in terms of its styles of
writing and conceptions of the Self
• promotes greater inter-disciplinary links between the
critical sub-fields of Autobiography Studies and
Postcolonial Studies.

Land and Nationalism in Fictions

Culture, Politics, and Self-Representation
James Graham, University of Warwick, UK
In this volume, James Graham investigates the relation
between land and nationalism in South African and
Zimbabwean fiction from the 1960s to the present. This
comparative study, the first of its kind, discusses a wide
range of writing against a backdrop of regional
decolonization, including novels by the prize-winning
authors J.M. Coetzee, Nadine Gordimer, Bessie Head,
Chenjerai Hove, and Yvonne Vera. By employing a range
of critical perspectives – cultural materialist, feminist and
ecocritical – Graham offers new ways of thinking about
the relationship between land, nation and politics in
Southern Africa.

Paradise Discourse, Imperialism,

Exploiting Eden
Sharae Deckard, University of Warwick, UK
In this ambitious volume, Sharae Deckard analyzes
authors such as Malcolm Lowry, Leonard Woolf, Juan
Rulfo, Wilson Harris, Abdulrazak Gurnah, and Romesh
Gunesekera in order to make a materialist study of the
relation between paradise myths and the ideologies and
economies of colonialism and neo-imperialism in literature
from Mexico, Zanzibar and Sri Lanka. Deckard argues
that literary myths of paradise are the products of a
value-laden discourse related to profit, labor, and the
exploitation of resources, both human and environmental,
which evolves according to the differing material
conditions and discursive agendas of its employers.

Transnationalism in Southern

Stefan Helgesson, Upsala University, Sweden
Considering the growing interest in South African
Literature at the moment, this study looks at both the
Anglophone literature of South Africa and the
lusophone literature of Angola and Mozambique.
Stefan Helgesson suggests that the prevalence of
‘colonial’ languages such as English and Portuguese in
‘anticolonial’ or ‘postcolonial’ African Literature is
primarily an effect of the print network. Helgesson aims
to demystify the authority of English and Portuguese by
stressing the materiality of the print medium and
emphasizing the strong transnational and
transcontinental vectors of southern African literature
after the Second World War.

Marjorie Garber, Harvard University, USA
The title of this collection,
Profiling Shakespeare, is meant
strongly in its double sense.
These essays show the outline of
a Shakespeare rather different
from the man sought by
biographers from his time to our
own. They also show the effects,
the ephemera, the clues and
cues, welcome and unwelcome,
out of which Shakespeare’s
admirers and dedicated scholars
have pieced together a vision of
the playwright, whether as sage, psychologist, lover,
theatrical entrepreneur, or moral authority. This collection
brings together classic pieces, hard-to-find chapters, and
two new essays. Here, Marjorie Garber has produced a
book at once serious and highly readable, ranging
broadly across time periods (early modern to postmodern)
and touching upon both high and popular culture.

Shakespeare and the Problem
of Adaptation
Margaret Jane Kidnie, University of Western
Ontario, Canada
Shakespeare and the Problem
of Adaptation presents an
engaging exploration of the
distinction between the
Shakespearean work and its
apparent other, the adaptation.
Margaret Jane Kidnie brings
performance criticism into
contact with textual studies to
show that the mutually defining
categories of work and
adaptation are unfixed; the
products of ongoing debates,
arguments, and desires.
Kidnie pursues her argument in relation to instances as
diverse as theatrical productions by the Royal Shakespeare
Company to Djanet Sears’ prequel to Othello, and from
Robert Lepage’s one-man Hamlet to recent print editions
of the complete works. These new readings of key
productions are accessible as independent analyses,
and build up a persuasive picture of the cultural and
intellectual processes that currently determine how the
authentically Shakespearean is distinguished from the
fraudulent and adaptive.

Gothic Shakespeares
Edited by John Drakakis and Dale Townshend,
University of Stirling, UK
Series: Accents on Shakespeare
Shakespeare was both
influenced by and influential in
the rise of Gothic forms in
literature and culture from the
late eighteenth century onwards.
Shakespeare’s plays are full of
ghosts, suspense, fear-inducing
moments and cultural anxieties
which many writers in the Gothic
mode have since emulated,
adapted and appropriated.
The contributors to this volume
consider:
• Shakespeare’s relationship with popular Gothic fiction
of the eighteenth century
• how, without Shakespeare as a point of reference, the
Gothic mode in fiction and drama may not have
developed and evolved in quite the way it did
• the ways in which the Gothic engages in a complex
dialogue with Shakespeare, often through the use of
quotation, citation and analogy
• the extent to which the relationship between
Shakespeare and the Gothic requires a radical
reappraisal in the light of contemporary literary theory,
as well as the popular extensions of the Gothic into
many modern modes of representation.
In Gothic Shakespeares, Shakespeare is considered
alongside major Gothic texts and writers – from Horace
Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, Matthew Lewis and Mary Shelley,
up to and including contemporary Gothic fiction and
horror film. This volume offers a highly original and truly
provocative account of Gothic reformulations of
Shakespeare, and Shakespeare’s significance to the Gothic.

Alternative Shakespeares 3
Edited by Diana E. Henderson, MIT, Massachusetts,
USA
Series: New Accents
This volume takes up the
challenge embodied in its
predecessors, Alternative
Shakespeares and Alternative
Shakespeares 2, to identify and
explore the new, the changing
and the radically ‘other’
possibilities for Shakespeare
Studies at our particular
historical moment.
Alternative Shakespeares 3
introduces the strongest and
most innovative of the new
directions emerging in Shakespearean scholarship –
ranging across performance studies, multimedia and
textual criticism, concerns of economics, science,
religion and ethics – as well as the ‘next step’ work in
areas such as postcolonial and queer studies that
continue to push the boundaries of the field. The
contributors approach each topic with clarity and
accessibility in mind, enabling student readers to
engage with serious ‘alternatives’ to established ways of
interpreting Shakespeare’s plays and their roles in
contemporary culture.
The expertise, commitment and daring of this volume’s
contributors shine through each essay, maintaining the
progressive edge and real-world urgency that are the
hallmark of Alternative Shakespeares. This volume is
essential reading for students and scholars of
Shakespeare who seek an understanding of current
and future directions in this ever-changing field.

Dramatists and their Manuscripts in

Authorship, Authority and the Playhouse
Grace Ioppolo, University of Reading, UK
‘To say that Ioppolo’s book will, or should,
completely alter the way the texts by the
playwrights of the period are edited and therefore
performed is to put it entirely too mildly. And, of
course, she most definitely brings the author back
from the dead.’ – Notes and Queries
This book presents new evidence about the ways in
which English Renaissance dramatists such as William
Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Thomas Heywood, John
Fletcher and Thomas Middleton composed their plays
and the degree to which they participated in the
dissemination of their texts to theatrical audiences.
Grace Ioppolo argues that the path of the transmission
of the text was not linear, from author to censor to
playhouse to audience – as has been universally argued
by scholars – but circular.

Pratima Prasad, University of Massachusetts, USA
This book investigates how French Romanticism was
shaped by and contributed to colonial discourses of
race. It studies the ways in which metropolitan
Romantic novels – that is, novels by French authors such
as Victor Hugo, George Sand, Bernardin de Saint-Pierre,
François René de Chateaubriand, Claire de Duras, and
Prosper Mérimée – comprehend and construct colonized
peoples, fashion French identity in the context of
colonialism, and record the encounter between
Europeans and non-Europeans. While the primary texts
that come under investigation in the book are novels,
close attention is paid to Romantic fiction’s
interdependence with naturalist treatises, travel writing,
abolitionist texts, and ethnographies.

range from Goethe’s writing on metamorphosis to

from the Estate of a Young Physicist, Holland proposes
that each author contributes to a scientifically-informed
poetics of procreation. Rather than subscribing to a

preformation), these authors take their inspiration from
a wide inventory of procreative motifs and imagery.

Gothic Romanced
Consumption, Gender and Technology in
Contemporary Fictions
Fred Botting, Lancaster University, UK
The dark, destructive and
monstrous elements of gothic
fiction have traditionally been seen
in opposition to the rose-tinted
idealism of Romanticism. In this
ground-breaking study, Fred
Botting re-evaluates the
relationship between the two
genres in order to plot the shifting
alignments of popular and literary
fictions with cultural theories,
consumption and representations
of science.
Gothic Romanced traces the history of gothic and
romantic writings from the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries to the present day. It examines the ways in
which these genres were aligned with the historical
process of modernity – with the Gothic representing the
negative aspects of vice and barbarism that
accompanied the changing parameters of civilization,
while Romance clung on to traditional values, manners
and feelings. The book demonstrates how these genres
have evolved together alongside cultural shifts and
postmodern theories, blurring the binary between the
sacred and the profane.
Botting considers Romance and the Gothic from Mary
Shelley, Anne Rice and Alasdair Gray through to
Alien and Star Trek. He manages a fluid and extensive
exploration of generic boundaries, including gothic
fiction, romantic poetry, literary pastiches, popular
horror fiction, cyberpunk and science fiction.

What Animals Mean in the
Fiction of Modernity argues that
nonhuman animals, and stories
about them, have always been
closely bound up with the
conceptual and material work
of modernity.
In the first half of the book,
Philip Armstrong examines the
function of animals and animal
representations in four classic
narratives: Robinson Crusoe,
Gulliver’s Travels, Frankenstein
and Moby-Dick. He then goes on to explore how these
stories have been re-worked, in ways that reflect
shifting social and environmental forces, by later
novelists, including H.G. Wells, Upton Sinclair, D.H.
Lawrence, Ernest Hemingway, Franz Kafka, Brigid
Brophy, Bernard Malamud, Timothy Findley, Will Self,
Margaret Atwood, Yann Martel and J.M. Coetzee.
What Animals Mean in the Fiction of Modernity also
introduces readers to new developments in the study of
human-animal relations. It does so by attending both to
the significance of animals to humans, and to animals’
own purposes or designs; to what animals mean to us,
and to what they mean to do, and how they mean to live.

Travel and Drugs in
Twentieth-Century Literature
Lindsey Banco, Nipissing University, Canada
The study of travel literature and the study of literary
representations of and philosophical inquiries into drugs
and intoxication have grown increasingly prominent as
independent fields of inquiry, but neither field has
produced any sustained examination of the relationships
between the two. In this volume, Lindsey Banco
examines interlocking representations of travel and
drugs in†the fiction of Burroughs, Huxley and others in
order to assesses how and why metaphors of mobility
help conceptualize the experience of intoxication as well
as how and why drugs enable us to think about the
pleasures and the pains of travel. He discovers that the
juxtaposition of traveling and tripping – which he
argues is often a process of ‘spatializing intoxication’ –
raises important questions about identity, alterity,
utopia, and capitalism.

Asian American Fiction, History,
and Life Writing
International Encounters
Helena Grice, University of Wales, UK
The last ten years have witnessed an enormous growth
in American interest in Asia and Asian/American history.
In particular, a set of key Asian historical moments have
recently become the subject of intense American
cultural scrutiny, namely China’s Cultural Revolution and
its aftermath; the Korean American war and its legacy;
the era of Japanese geisha culture and its subsequent
decline; and China’s one-child policy and the rise of
transracial, international adoption in its wake. Grice
examines and accounts for this cultural and literary
preoccupation with all things Asian, exploring the
corresponding historical-political situations that have
both circumscribed and enabled greater cultural and
political contact between Asia and America.

American Fiction of the 1990s
Reflections of History and Culture
Edited by Jay Prosser, University of Leeds, UK
American Fiction of the 1990s
brings together essays from
international experts to examine
one of the most vital and
energized decades in American
literature. This volume reads the
rich body of 1990s American
fiction in the context of key
cultural concerns of the period.
The issues that the contributors
identify as especially productive
include:
• immigration and America’s
geographical borders,
particularly those with Latin America
• racial tensions, race relations and racial exchanges
• historical memory and the recording of history
• sex, scandal and the politicization of sexuality
• postmodern technologies, terrorism and paranoia.
This title examines texts by established authors such as
Don DeLillo, Toni Morrison, Philip Roth and Thomas
Pynchon, but also by emergent writers, such as
Sherman Alexie, Chang-Rae Lee, E. Annie Proulx, David
Foster Wallace, and Jonathan Franzen. American Fiction
of the 1990s offers new insight into both the literature
and the culture of the period, as well as the interaction
between the two in a way that furthers the New

‘In this book, Colleen Glenney Boggs makes a
startlingly powerful and original case … While
other critics consider transnationalism primarily as
a spatial or political phenomenon, Glenney Boggs
focuses our attention on evidence of linguistic
variety in the pages of American works
themselves: a significant angle so far overlooked
by those who habitually equate national print
culture with monolingualism. She persuasively
argues that American texts have always been
multilingual and that ‘the practice of linguistic
translation’ actually helped rather than hindered
American authors in their quest for artistic
innovation.’ – Leslie Eckel, ‘The Comparatist’

Relentless Progress
The Reconfiguration of Children’s Literature,
Fairy Tales, and Storytelling
Jack Zipes, University of Minnesota, USA
Can fairy tales subvert
consumerism? Can fantasy and
children’s literature counter the
homogenizing influence of
globalization? Can storytellers
retain their authenticity in the
age of consumerism? These are
some of the critical questions
raised by Jack Zipes, the
celebrated scholar of fairy tales
and children’s literature. In this
book, Zipes argues that, despite
a dangerous reconfiguration of
children as consumers in the civilizing process, children’s
literature, fairy tales, and storytelling possess a uniquely
powerful (even fantastic) capacity to resist the ‘relentless
progress’ of negative trends in culture. He also argues
that these tales and stories may lose their power if they
are too diluted by commercialism and merchandising.
Stories have been used for centuries as a way to teach
children (and adults) how to see the world, as well as
their place within it. In Relentless Progress, Zipes looks
at the surprising ways that stories have influenced
people within contemporary culture and vice versa.
Among the many topics explored here are the dumbing
down of books for children, the marketing of
childhood, the changing shape of feminist fairy tales,
and why American and British children aren’t exposed
to more non-western fairy tales. From picture books to
graphic novels, from children’s films to video games,
from Grimm’s fairy tales to the multimedia Harry Potter
phenomenon, Zipes demonstrates that while children’s
stories have changed greatly in recent years, much
about these stories have remained the same – despite
their contemporary, high-tech repackaging.
Relentless Progress offers remarkable insight into why
classic folklore and fairy tales should remain an important
part of the lives of children in today’s digital culture.

2-VOLUME SET
The Collected Sicilian Folk and
Fairy Tales of Giuseppe Pitré
Giuseppe Pitré
Edited by Jack Zipes, University of Minnesota, USA
and Joseph Russo
Giuseppe Pitré, a nineteenth-century Sicilian physician,
gathered an enormous wealth of folk and fairy tales as
he traveled and treated the poor throughout Palermo.
He also received tales from friends and scholars
throughout the island of Sicily. A dedicated folklorist,
whose significance ranks alongside the Brothers Grimm,
he published a 25-volume collection of Sicilian folk
tales, legends, songs, and customs between 1871 and
1914. Though first published in their original Sicilian
dialect, these tales have never before been translated,
collected, and published in English until now.
This historic two-volume set collects 300 and 100
variants of his most entertaining and most important
folk and fairy tales, along with lively, vivid illustrations
by Carmelo Lettere. In stark contrast to the more literary
ambitions of the Grimms‘ tales, Pitré’s possess a
charming, earthy quality that reflect the customs,
beliefs, and superstitions of the common people more
clearly than any other European folklore collection of
the nineteenth century.
Edited, translated, and with a critical introduction by
world-renowned folk and fairy tale experts Jack Zipes
and Joseph Russo, this collection will firmly establish
Pitré’s importance as a folklorist.

When Dreams Came True
Classical Fairy Tales and Their Tradition
Jack Zipes, University of Minnesota, USA

Charles Perrault or the Brothers
Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen
or The Thousand and One
Nights, The Happy Prince or
Pinocchio, L. Frank Baum or
Hermann Hesse, Zipes shows
how the authors of our beloved
fairy tales used the genre to
articulate personal desires, political views, and aesthetic
preferences within particular social contexts. Above all,
he demonstrates the role that the fairy tale has assumed
in the civilizing process – the way it imparts values,
norms, and aesthetic taste to children and adults.
This second edition of one of Jack Zipes’s best-loved

Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion
Jack Zipes, University of Minnesota, USA
The fairy tale may be one of the most important cultural
and social influences on children’s lives. But until Fairy
Tales and the Art of Subversion, little attention had
been paid to the ways in which the writers and
collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in
order to shape children’s lives – their behavior, values,
and relationship to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly
shows, fairy tales have always been a powerful
discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize
attitudes and behavior within culture.
For this second edition, the author has revised the work
throughout and added a new introduction bringing this
classic title up to date.

“Juvenile” Literature and British
Society, 1850-1950
The Age of Adolescence
Charles Ferrall and Anna Jackson, both at Victoria
University of Wellington, New Zealand
This study argues that the Victorians and Edwardians
created a cult of adolescence as significant as the
Romantic cult of childhood, positing adolescence as a
liminal period between childhood and adulthood, a time
that adults could remember nostalgically but which for
children leaving home represented a potentially
terrifying immersion into a strictly hierarchical and
authoritarian world.

Neo-Imperialism in Children’s
Literature About Africa
A Study of Contemporary Fiction
Yulisa Amadu Maddy and Donnarae MacCann
In the spirit of their last collaboration, Apartheid and
Racism in South African Children’s Literature,
1985-1995, Yulisa Amadu Maddy and Donnarae
MacCann once again come together to expose the
neo-imperialist overtones of contemporary children’s
fiction about Africa. Examining the portrayal of African
social customs, religious philosophies, and political
structures in fiction for young people, Maddy and
MacCann reveal the Western biases that often infuse
stories by well-known Western authors.

Representations of Technology in
Science Fiction for Young People
Control Shift
Noga Applebaum, Roehampton University, UK
In this study about the representations of modern
technology in contemporary science fiction for children
and young adults, Noga Applebaum exposes the
anti-technological bias existing within a genre usually
associated with celebrating technology, and suggests
that at the heart of this bias is adults’ fear that children,
perceived as being more comfortable and skilled with
certain technologies, will use them to upset the existing
adult-child power hierarchy. Although focusing on the
popular genre of science fiction as a useful case study,
Applebaum demonstrates that negative attitudes to
technology exist within children’s literature in general.

Dickens, Journalism, and Nationhood
Mapping the World in Household Words
Sabine Clemm, University of Southampton, UK
Dickens, Journalism, and Nationhood examines Charles
Dickens’ weekly family magazine Household Words in
order to develop a detailed picture of how the journal
negotiated, asserted and simultaneously deconstructed
Englishness as a unified (and sometimes unifying) mode
of expression. It offers close readings of a wide range of
materials that self-consciously focus on the nature of
England as well as the relationship between Britain and
the European continent, Ireland, and the British colonies.

Pound and Eliot, Djuna Barnes and other modernist
women-writers have received detailed critical attention
in recent years. The study looks at the origins of the
modernist movement, linking gender, modernism and

Frontier/Grotesque in the Novels
of William Faulker
Peter Alan Froehlich, Southeast Missouri State
University, USA
This book locates Faulkner’s historical vision in his use of
‘frontier/grotesque’, a cultural rhetoric associated with
colonization, which appears in the tension between the
regional mythology of plantation and the national
mythology of frontier. The book identifies Absalom,
Absalom!, The Hamlet, and Go Down, Moses as a
‘mythic trilogy’, novels less concerned with portraying
the harsh realities of the Depression than the author’s
vision of a South caught in the tension between the
regional mythology of plantation and the national
mythology of frontier.

Gertrude Stein and the Making of
an American Celebrity
Karen Leick, Ohio State University, USA
By examining not the ways that Stein portrayed the
popular in her work, but the ways the popular
portrayed her, this study shows that there was an
intimate relationship between literary modernism and
mainstream culture and that modernist writers and texts
were much more well-known than has been previously
acknowledged. Specifically, Karen Leick reveals through
the case study of Stein that the relationship between
mass culture and modernism in America was less
antagonistic, more productive and integrated than
previous studies have suggested.

Waugh, and Marshall McLuhan, Joseph R. McCleary
contends that Chesterton’s recurring use of the themes of

Narrative Conventions and Race in

Jennifer Lee Jordan Heinert, University of

This study analyzes the relationship between race and
genre in four of Toni Morrison’s novels: The Bluest Eye,
Tar Baby, Jazz, and Beloved. Heinert argues how
Morrison’s novels revise conventional generic forms such
as bildungsroman, folktales, slave narratives, and the
formal realism of the novel itself. This study goes
beyond formalist analyses to show how these revisions
expose the relationship between race, conventional
generic forms, and the dominant culture.

The Politics of Humiliation in the
Novels of J.M. Coetzee
Hania Nashef
In this volume, Hania Nashef looks at J.M. Coetzee’s
concern with universal suffering and the inevitable
humiliation of the human being as manifest in his
novels. Though several theorists have referred to the
theme of human degradation in Coetzee’s work, no
detailed study has been made of this area of concern
especially with respect to how pervasive it is across
Coetzee’s literary output to date. This study examines
what J.M. Coetzee’s novels portray as the circumstances
that contribute to the humiliation of the individual –
namely the abuse of language, master and slave
interplay, aging and senseless waiting – and how these
conditions, singularly or in unison can lead to the
alienation and marginalization of the individual.

Chris Louttit reshapes our understanding of Dickens by

of Victorian earnestness of the sort attributed also to
Thomas Carlyle, John Ruskin, and even more
simplistically, Samuel Smiles.

Forbidden Sex, Forbidden Texts
New India’s Gay Poets
Hoshang Merchant
The book argues that there is no monolithic
homosexuality; there are only homosexualities, that is,
there are as many reasons for being gay as there are
gays. Some people are born gay, some have gayness
thrust upon them, and some do, indeed, achieve to great
gayness. Representation of homosexuality/homoeroticism,
as it is understood today, is thus a western import.
The act and public/social discourses on same-sex love are
still illegal; it is, according to many, against the Indian
‘tradition’; and a sense of ‘history’ is seriously problematic
when we dig out for a past tradition of homoerotic love
and desire.

A Short Etymological Dictionary of Modern English
Eric Partridge
This dictionary gives the origins
of some 20,000 items from the
modern English vocabulary,
discussing them in groups that
make clear the connections
between words derived by a
variety of routes from originally
common stock. As well as giving
the answers to questions about
the derivation of individual
words, it is a fascinating book to
browse through, since every
page points out links with other
entries. It is easy to pursue such trails as the longer
articles are written as continuous prose clearly divided
up by means of numbered paragraphs and subheadings,
and there is a careful system of cross-references.
In addition to the main A-Z listing, there are extensive
lists of prefixes, suffixes, and elements used in the
creation of new vocabulary.

Critical Concepts

as a period designation, a manifestation of formal

its inception been marked, consciously or unconsciously,
by gender.
