June 2009: 234x156: 192pp Hb: 978-0-415-44533-7: £60.00 Transnationalism in Southern African Literature Modernists, Realists, and the Inequality of Print Culture 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. 2008: 234x156: 176pp Hb: 978-0-415-46239-6: £60.00 eBook: 978-0-203-43151-1 ORDER NOW!

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.
