    Chapter 1: Introduction: Objects in Prose, from Actants to Things -- Chapter 2: A Pin, A Mirror, and a Pen: Everyday It-Narrators, Conspicuous Tools -- Chapter 3: “Very conspicuous on one of his fingers”: Generative Things in Austen’s Juvenilia, Sense and Sensibility and Emma -- Chapter 4: Unwieldy Objects in De Quincey’s Confessions (1821): Things that Undermine Subjectivity -- Chapter 5: Performing Authorship in the Silver Fork Novel: Managing a Thing Filled with Objects -- Chapter 6: Conclusion: All Those “tables and chairs”—Productive Objects and Chaotic Things? The Agency of Objects in English Prose, 1789–1832: Conspicuous Things engages with new materialist methodologies to examine shifting perceptions of nonhuman agency in English prose at the turn of the nineteenth century. Examining texts as diverse as it-narratives, the juvenile writings and novels of Jane Austen, De Quincey’s autobiographical writings, and silver fork novels, Nikolina Hatton demonstrates how object agency is viewed in this period as constitutive—not just in regard to human subjectivity but also in aesthetic creation. Objects appear in these novels and short prose works as aids, intermediaries, adversaries, and obstructions, as well as both intimately connected to humans and strangely alien. Through close readings, the book traces how object agency, while sometimes perceived as a threat by authors and characters, also continues to be understood as a source of the delightfully unexpected—in everyday life as well as in narrative.

    Chapter 1 - Introduction: America and Northern Ireland -- Chapter 2 - Belfast: Heaney in the 1960s -- Chapter 3 - California 1970-71 -- Chapter 4 - Together and Apart: Heaney and Lowell -- Chapter 5 - The Walk on Air: Heaney and Bishop -- Chapter 6 - American Poetry and Heaney’s Final Works -- Chapter 7 - Conclusion. This book examines the influence of American poetry on Seamus Heaney’s achievement by close attention to the themes, style, and resonances of his poetry at different stages of his career, including his appointments in Berkeley and Harvard. Beginning with an examination of Heaney’s education at Queen’s University, this study presents comparative close readings which explore the influence of five American poets he read during this period: Robert Frost, John Crowe Ransom, Theodore Roethke, Robert Lowell, and Elizabeth Bishop. Laverty demonstrates how Heaney returned to several of these poets in response to difficulty and to consolidate later aesthetic developments. Heaney’s ambivalent critical treatment of Sylvia Plath is investigated, as is his partial misreading of Bishop, who is understood today more sensitively than in her lifetime. This study also probes the reasons for his elision of other prominent American writers, making this the first comprehensive assessment of American influence on Heaney’s poetry. Dr Christopher Laverty is an academic researcher based at Queen’s University, Belfast, where he completed his PhD in 2019. His work has been published in Twentieth-century Literature, Irish Studies Review, and Estudios Irlandeses. .

    1. Introduction -- PART I. “Emperors, kings and princes desired this science”. Elizabethan and Jacobean England -- 2. Alchemy in Elizabethan England -- 3. Alchemy and Paracelsianism at the Jacobean Court -- PART II. The Alchemical Performance of The Winter’s Tale. A Reading of the Play -- 4. Leontes’s tale of winter -- 5. Water and Time -- 6. Art and Nature -- 7. The Statue Scene -- PART III. Jacobean Politics and Religion in the Play -- 8. The Winter’s Tale and James I -- 9. Conclusions. . This book explores the role of alchemy, Paracelsianism, and Hermetic philosophy in one of Shakespeare’s last plays, The Winter’s Tale. A perusal of the vast literary and iconographic repertory of Renaissance alchemy reveals that this late play is imbued with topoi, myths, and emblematic imagery coming from coeval alchemical, Paracelsian, and Hermetic sources. All the major symbols of alchemy are present in Shakespeare’s play: the intertwined serpents of the caduceus, the chemical wedding, the filius philosophorum, and the so-called rex chymicus. This book also provides an in-depth survey of late Renaissance alchemy, Paracelsian medicine, and Hermetic culture in the Elizabethan and Jacobean ages. Importantly, it contends that The Winter’s Tale, in symbolically retracing the healing pattern of the rota alchemica and in emphasising the Hermetic principles of unity and concord, glorifies King James’s conciliatory attitude.

    Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 The value of diary writing -- Chapter 3 Changes over time.-Chapter 4 Location matters -- Chapter 5 Constraints of the life course -- Chapter 6 Gender -- Chapter 7 Money matters -- Chapter 8 The significance of journey purpose -- Chapter 9 Immobility -- Chapter 10 Conclusions. This book uses diaries written by ordinary British people over the past two centuries to examine and explain the nature and extent of everyday mobilities, such as travel to school, to work, to shop or to visit friends, and to explore the meanings attached to these mobilities. After a critical evaluation of diary writing, the ways in which mobility changed over time, interacted with new forms of transport technology, and varied from place to place are examined. Further chapters focus on the roles of family and life course, gender, income and class, and journey purpose in shaping mobilities, including immobility. It is argued that easy and frequent everyday mobilities were experienced by most of the diarists studied, that travellers could exercise their own agency to adapt easily to new forms of transport technology, but that factors such as gender, class, and location also created significant mobility inequalities. Colin G. Pooley is Emeritus Professor of Social and Historical Geography in the Environment Centre and the Centre for Mobilities Studies (CeMoRe), Lancaster University, UK. His research focuses on the social geography of Britain and continental Europe since circa 1800, with recent projects focused on residential migration, travel to work, everyday mobilities and sustainable transport. Marilyn E. Pooley is an Historical Geographer. She was formerly a Teaching Associate in the Environment Centre at Lancaster University, UK, and in retirement is researching (with Colin Pooley) everyday mobility in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain using life writing. .

The Portraits of the English in the Work of Dion Boucicault, Bram Stoker, and Erskine Childers -- 4. Charlotte Brooke’s Impact on Ascendancy Women Writers from Maria Edgeworth to Lady Gregory -- 5. C.S. Lewis and the Irish Literary Canon -- 6. Gradations of Class Among Irish Anglicans in Leland Bardwell’s Girl on a Bicycle. “This is both an authoritative handbook to the particular hybrid culture of Irish Anglicans, and an illuminating series of case studies of often overlooked Irish writers from the 18th to 20th centuries. With a refreshing emphasis on women writers, Clare examines the intertwined influences of nation and religion, and gives new insight into writers whose work is central to any canon of Irish literature.” -Emilie Pine, University College Dublin “The introduction to David Clare’s lively and accessible study makes the case that a nuanced and sympathetic view of Irish Anglican writers such as Lady Gregory and Leland Bardwell (whose political and ethnic affiliations have often been suspiciously scrutinized from a nationalist perspective) can contribute to shaping an inclusive society increasingly made up of hybrid subjects. The book as a whole offers thought-provoking insights, for both general and specialist readers, into the work of a wide range of well-known writers (Gregory, C. S. Lewis, Shaw), as well as enabling readers to discover almost forgotten figures such as the 18th-century playwright Elizabeth Griffith.” -Clíona Ó Gallchoir, University College Cork This book discusses key works by important writers from Church of Ireland backgrounds (from Farquhar and Swift to Beckett and Bardwell), in order to demonstrate that writers from this Irish subculture have a unique socio-political viewpoint which is imperfectly understood. The Anglican Ascendancy was historically referred to as a “middle nation” between Ireland and Britain, and this book is an examination of the various ways in which Irish Anglican writers have signalled their Irish/British hybridity. “British” elements in their work are pointed out, but so are manifestations of their proud Irishness and what Elizabeth Bowen called her community’s “subtle … anti-Englishness.” Crucially, this book discusses several writers often excluded from the “truly” Irish canon, including (among others) Laurence Sterne, Elizabeth Griffith, and C.S. Lewis. David Clare is Lecturer in Drama and Theatre Studies at Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, Ireland. He previously held two IRC-funded postdoctoral fellowships at NUI Galway, Ireland. His books include the monograph Bernard Shaw’s Irish Outlook (2016) and the edited collection The Gate Theatre, Dublin: Inspiration and Craft (2018).

    This book is about the relationship of food and food practices to discourses and depictions of domestic and political governance in early modern women’s writing. It examines the texts of four elite women spanning approximately forty years: the Psalmes of Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke; the maternal nursing pamphlet of Elizabeth Clinton, Dowager Countess of Lincoln; the diary of Margaret, Lady Hoby; and Mary Sidney, Lady Wroth’s prose romance, Urania. It argues that we cannot gain a full picture of what food meant to the early modern English without looking at the works of women, who were the primary managers of household foodways. In examining food practices such as hospitality, gift exchange, and charity, this monograph demonstrates that women, no less than men, engaged with vital social, cultural and political processes 1.

    Introduction: Preservation of the Other in Contemporary Irish Poetry -- Chapter 1. Between Detection and Deception: Paul Muldoon’s Why Brownlee Left. - Chapter 2. Framing Potentiality: Vona Groarke’s Four Sides Full and X -- Chapter 3. ‘Lady Other, Lady Mine’: Freedom of the Materialist self in Sinéad Morrissey’s Parallax -- Chapter 4. Poetry as Endurance: Caitríona O’Reilly’s Geis. - Chapter 5. “Flurred and Flummoxed but Unbleared”: The restoration of the self and the experience of language in Alan Gillis’s Scapegoat -- Chapter 6. ‘The Miraculous Flesh’ of the Everyday Giants: Nick Laird’s Go Giants. Constitutions of Self in Contemporary Irish Poetry explores the figure of the lyrical self in the work of six contemporary Irish poets: Paul Muldoon, Vona Groarke, Sinéad Morrissey, Caitríona O’Reilly, Alan Gillis and Nick Laird. By focusing on the self, this study offers the first sustained exploration of what is arguably one of the most distinctive features of Irish poetry. Readings utilise the latest theories of the lyric filtered through the work of such philosophers as Jacques Derrida, Umberto Eco, Slavoj Žižek, Giorgio Agamben and Zygmunt Bauman, and connect an interdisciplinary approach with attention to the operations of the poetic text to bring out aspects of the self in Irish writing that have been given only cursory critical attention so far. Wit Pietrzak is a Professor of British and Irish Literature at the Institute of English Studies, University of Łódź, Poland. His main areas of interest are modernist and contemporary Anglophone poetry as well as theory and philosophy of literature. He has published The Critical Thought of W. B. Yeats (2017), and numerous essays on contemporary British and Irish poetry.

The Dictionary of National Biography -- 9. Conclusions: Overview Through Immersion. This book shows how in nineteenth-century Britain, confronted with the newly industrialized and urbanized modern world, writers, artists, journalists and impresarios tried to gain an overview of contemporary history. They drew on two successive but competing conceptual models of overview: the panorama and the compilation. Both models claimed to offer a holistic picture of the present moment, but took very different approaches. This book shows that panoramas (360° views previously associated with the Romantic period) and compilations (big data projects previously associated with the Victorian fin de siècle) are intertwined, relevant across the entire century, and often remediated, making them crucial lenses through which to view a broad range of genre and forms. It brings together interdisciplinary research materials belonging to different period silos to create new understandings of how nineteenth-century audiences dealt with information overload. It argues for a new politics of distance: one that recognizes the value of immersing oneself in a situation, event or phenomenon, but which also does not chastise us for trying to see the big picture. This book is essential reading for students and scholars of nineteenth-century literature, history, visual culture and information studies. Helen Kingstone is a Lecturer in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Visual Culture at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK. Her first book, Victorian Narratives of the Recent Past: Memory, History, Fiction, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2017.

    1.Introduction -- 2.1921–1950 -- 3.950–1969 -- 4.1969–1980 -- 5.1980–1990 -- 6.1990–2001 -- 7. 2001–2021 -- 8. Conclusion. This monograph provides the first sustained, chronological account of Northern Irish police officers’ representation in theatre. Importantly, its scope comprises a critical period of national and organisational development, beginning with the Partition of Ireland in 1921 and the founding of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) one year later in 1922. It progresses through the relevant theatrical and historical events of the century, through the period after the RUC’s dissolution and replacement with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) in 2001, and concludes in 2021 to coincide with the centenary of Partition. As such, this project is distinctive in its ability to trace paradigm shifts in perceptions of the police over time, as they intersect with relevant historical events and milestones of political conflict in the province. T. W. Saunders received his PhD from the Queen’s University of Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 2018. He then travelled extensively—to locations including Cyprus, Spain, Chile, Canada, Gibraltar, and the Falkland Islands—while adapting his dissertation into a scholarly monograph and working on various other adjacent projects. He lives in Colorado.

    Introduction: Societies in Crisis -- A Journal of the Plague Year in the Twenty-First Century -- Narrating the Pandemic: A Journal of the Plague Year -- Narrating the Pandemic: Covid-19 -- Pandemics in Perspective. “A useful, original, and timely book, written with rigour, passion, and emotion. It deserves a wide readership among those who believe classic literature can tell us about our own circumstances and help us to work towards solutions to problems of the present.” ─Prof. Nicholas Seager Head of the School of Humanities, Keele University, Staffordshire, UK Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year has taken on a new relevance with the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic. Through an exploration of two chronologically distant societies in crisis, this study compares the attitudes, beliefs, and conduct of the public portrayed in the book and those in our own embattled Covid era. There are interesting similarities to note, with equivalents to the Covid-deniers and the anti-vaxxers to be found in Defoe's bleak vision of London in the 1660s as it descends into a state of chaos. JPY offers us some uncomfortable truths about human nature that resonate strongly in our own times, revealing how responding to a pandemic can bring out both the best and the worst in our character as we face up to a world where the old certainties no longer seem to apply. Pandemics expose the fault-lines in ideology, putting the social contract at risk - the question they pose is whether we can continue to rely on our current socio-political set-up or whether it requires a radical rethink. There is a pressing need for more debate on this issue, and this project is designed to make a case for that. Stuart Sim is a retired Professor of Critical Theory at Northumbria University, UK, having previously worked for the Open University and the University of Sunderland. He is widely published in the fields of critical theory, literary studies and philosophy, and is a Fellow of the English Association.

    Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 The value of diary writing -- Chapter 3 Changes over time.-Chapter 4 Location matters -- Chapter 5 Constraints of the life course -- Chapter 6 Gender -- Chapter 7 Money matters -- Chapter 8 The significance of journey purpose -- Chapter 9 Immobility -- Chapter 10 Conclusions. This book uses diaries written by ordinary British people over the past two centuries to examine and explain the nature and extent of everyday mobilities, such as travel to school, to work, to shop or to visit friends, and to explore the meanings attached to these mobilities. After a critical evaluation of diary writing, the ways in which mobility changed over time, interacted with new forms of transport technology, and varied from place to place are examined. Further chapters focus on the roles of family and life course, gender, income and class, and journey purpose in shaping mobilities, including immobility. It is argued that easy and frequent everyday mobilities were experienced by most of the diarists studied, that travellers could exercise their own agency to adapt easily to new forms of transport technology, but that factors such as gender, class, and location also created significant mobility inequalities. Colin G. Pooley is Emeritus Professor of Social and Historical Geography in the Environment Centre and the Centre for Mobilities Studies (CeMoRe), Lancaster University, UK. His research focuses on the social geography of Britain and continental Europe since circa 1800, with recent projects focused on residential migration, travel to work, everyday mobilities and sustainable transport. Marilyn E. Pooley is an Historical Geographer. She was formerly a Teaching Associate in the Environment Centre at Lancaster University, UK, and in retirement is researching (with Colin Pooley) everyday mobility in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain using life writing. .

Alchemy and Paracelsianism at the Jacobean Court -- PART II. The Alchemical Performance of The Winter’s Tale. A Reading of the Play -- 4. Leontes’s tale of winter -- 5. Water and Time -- 6. Art and Nature -- 7. The Statue Scene -- PART III. Jacobean Politics and Religion in the Play -- 8. The Winter’s Tale and James I -- 9. Conclusions. . This book explores the role of alchemy, Paracelsianism, and Hermetic philosophy in one of Shakespeare’s last plays, The Winter’s Tale. A perusal of the vast literary and iconographic repertory of Renaissance alchemy reveals that this late play is imbued with topoi, myths, and emblematic imagery coming from coeval alchemical, Paracelsian, and Hermetic sources. All the major symbols of alchemy are present in Shakespeare’s play: the intertwined serpents of the caduceus, the chemical wedding, the filius philosophorum, and the so-called rex chymicus. This book also provides an in-depth survey of late Renaissance alchemy, Paracelsian medicine, and Hermetic culture in the Elizabethan and Jacobean ages. Importantly, it contends that The Winter’s Tale, in symbolically retracing the healing pattern of the rota alchemica and in emphasising the Hermetic principles of unity and concord, glorifies King James’s conciliatory attitude.

    Chapter 1 - Introduction: America and Northern Ireland -- Chapter 2 - Belfast: Heaney in the 1960s -- Chapter 3 - California 1970-71 -- Chapter 4 - Together and Apart: Heaney and Lowell -- Chapter 5 - The Walk on Air: Heaney and Bishop -- Chapter 6 - American Poetry and Heaney’s Final Works -- Chapter 7 - Conclusion. This book examines the influence of American poetry on Seamus Heaney’s achievement by close attention to the themes, style, and resonances of his poetry at different stages of his career, including his appointments in Berkeley and Harvard. Beginning with an examination of Heaney’s education at Queen’s University, this study presents comparative close readings which explore the influence of five American poets he read during this period: Robert Frost, John Crowe Ransom, Theodore Roethke, Robert Lowell, and Elizabeth Bishop. Laverty demonstrates how Heaney returned to several of these poets in response to difficulty and to consolidate later aesthetic developments. Heaney’s ambivalent critical treatment of Sylvia Plath is investigated, as is his partial misreading of Bishop, who is understood today more sensitively than in her lifetime. This study also probes the reasons for his elision of other prominent American writers, making this the first comprehensive assessment of American influence on Heaney’s poetry. Dr Christopher Laverty is an academic researcher based at Queen’s University, Belfast, where he completed his PhD in 2019. His work has been published in Twentieth-century Literature, Irish Studies Review, and Estudios Irlandeses. .

    Chapter One: Introduction -- Part One: Mystical Excess -- Chapter Two: Excess as Spiritual Ecstasy: Yeats and Joyce -- Chapter Three: Oriental Excess: Wilde, Yeats, MacNeice -- Chapter Four: Transgressive Sacrifice: Pearse, Yeats, Carr -- Part Two: Material Excess -- Chapter Five: Money and Melodrama: Boucicault, Wilde, Shaw -- Chapter Six: Disposable Living: O’Casey, Beckett, Doyle -- Chapter Seven: Trashing Ulster: Patterson and Reid -- Part Three: Mythic and Linguistic Excess -- Chapter Eight: Mythic Excess: Finnegans Wake -- Chapter Nine: A-voiding the Subject: Bowen and Beckett -- Chapter Ten: Rhyming Away: Heaney, Longley, Muldoon, McGuckian. This book examines the topic of excess in modern Irish writing in terms of mysticism, materialism, myth and language. The study engages ideas of excess as they appear in works by major thinkers from Hegel, Kierkegaard and Marx through to Nietzsche, Bataille, Derrida and, more recently, Badiou. Poems, plays and fiction by a wide range of Irish authors are considered. These include works by Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, G. B. Shaw, Patrick Pearse, James Joyce, Sean O’Casey, Louis MacNeice, Samuel Beckett, Elizabeth Bowen, Roddy Doyle, Seamus Heaney, Marina Carr and Medbh McGuckian. The readings presented illustrate how Matthew Arnold’s nineteenth-century idea of the excessive character of the Celt is itself exceeded within the modernity of twentieth-century Irish writing.

The Agency of Objects in English Prose, 1789–1832: Conspicuous Things engages with new materialist methodologies to examine shifting perceptions of nonhuman agency in English prose at the turn of the nineteenth century. Examining texts as diverse as it-narratives, the juvenile writings and novels of Jane Austen, De Quincey’s autobiographical writings, and silver fork novels, Nikolina Hatton demonstrates how object agency is viewed in this period as constitutive—not just in regard to human subjectivity but also in aesthetic creation. Objects appear in these novels and short prose works as aids, intermediaries, adversaries, and obstructions, as well as both intimately connected to humans and strangely alien. Through close readings, the book traces how object agency, while sometimes perceived as a threat by authors and characters, also continues to be understood as a source of the delightfully unexpected—in everyday life as well as in narrative.

    Through close readings of texts by playwright Anne Devlin, poet Medbh McGuckian, and novelist Anna Burns, this book examines the ways Irish cultural production has been disturbed by partition. Ruprecht Fadem argues that literary texts address this tension through spectral, bordered metaphors and juxtapositions of the ancient and the contemporary.

    Chapter One: Introduction -- Part One: Mystical Excess -- Chapter Two: Excess as Spiritual Ecstasy: Yeats and Joyce -- Chapter Three: Oriental Excess: Wilde, Yeats, MacNeice -- Chapter Four: Transgressive Sacrifice: Pearse, Yeats, Carr -- Part Two: Material Excess -- Chapter Five: Money and Melodrama: Boucicault, Wilde, Shaw -- Chapter Six: Disposable Living: O’Casey, Beckett, Doyle -- Chapter Seven: Trashing Ulster: Patterson and Reid -- Part Three: Mythic and Linguistic Excess -- Chapter Eight: Mythic Excess: Finnegans Wake -- Chapter Nine: A-voiding the Subject: Bowen and Beckett -- Chapter Ten: Rhyming Away: Heaney, Longley, Muldoon, McGuckian. This book examines the topic of excess in modern Irish writing in terms of mysticism, materialism, myth and language. The study engages ideas of excess as they appear in works by major thinkers from Hegel, Kierkegaard and Marx through to Nietzsche, Bataille, Derrida and, more recently, Badiou. Poems, plays and fiction by a wide range of Irish authors are considered. These include works by Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, G. B. Shaw, Patrick Pearse, James Joyce, Sean O’Casey, Louis MacNeice, Samuel Beckett, Elizabeth Bowen, Roddy Doyle, Seamus Heaney, Marina Carr and Medbh McGuckian. The readings presented illustrate how Matthew Arnold’s nineteenth-century idea of the excessive character of the Celt is itself exceeded within the modernity of twentieth-century Irish writing.
