Dramatists and their Manuscripts in
the Age of Shakespeare, Jonson,

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.

Renaissance Futures
Edited by Andrea Brady and Emily Butterworth,
Kings College, London, UK
This collection of interdisciplinary essays from the fields
of literary criticism, cultural studies, politics and
intellectual history offers new answers to these
commonplace questions. These essays explore both
elite and popular culture, women and men’s
experiences, and the encounter between East and West.
They provide a comparative view on the range of
personal, political and social practices with which early
modern people planned for, imagined, manipulated or
even rejected the future.

The Female Reader in the
English Novel
From Burney to Austen
Joe Bray, University of Sheffield, UK
In the second half of the eighteenth century the female
reader was a frequent topic of cultural debate and
moral concern. This book examines the variety of ways
in which women ‘read’ the social world in the late
eighteenth and early nineteenth-century novel.

Gender and the Fictions of the
Public Sphere, 1690-1755
Anthony Pollock, University of Illinois, USA
Gender and the Fictions of the Public Sphere, 1690-
1755, complicates our understanding of eighteenthcentury
English print culture by studying the journalistic
work of women writers who have long been overlooked
by scholars, and by re-interpreting texts by canonical
male authors in the period as responses to these early
feminist models of cultural authority.

Colonialism, Race, and the French
Romantic Imagination
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.

German Romanticism and Science
The Procreative Poetics of Goethe, Novalis,
and Ritter
Jocelyn Holland, University of California, Santa
Barbara, USA
Situated at the intersection of literature and science,
Holland’s study draws upon a diverse corpus of literary
and scientific texts which testify to a cultural fascination
with procreation around 1800. Through readings which
range from Goethe’s writing on metamorphosis to
Novalis’s aphorisms and novels and Ritter’s Fragments
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
single biological theory (such as epigenesis or
preformation), these authors take their inspiration from
a wide inventory of procreative motifs and imagery.
