    Slavery is a recurring subject in works by the contemporary black writers in Britain Caryl Phillips, David Dabydeen and Fred D?Aguiar, yet their return to this past arises from an urgent need to understand the racial anxieties of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Britain. This book examines the ways in which their literary explorations of slavery may shed light on current issues in Britain today, or what might be thought of as the continuing legacies of the UK?s largely forgotten slave past.

    "Eve Tavor Bannet explores some of the remarkable stories about the Atlantic world that shaped Britons' and Americans' perceptions of that world. These stories about women, servants, the poor and the dispossessed were frequently rewritten or reframed by editors and printers in America and Britain for changing audiences, times and circumstances. Bannet shows how they were read by examining what contemporaries said about them and did with them; in doing so, she reveals the creatively dynamic and unstable character of transatlantic print culture. Stories include the 'other' Robinson Crusoe and works by Penelope Aubin, Rowlandson, Chetwood, Tyler, Kimber, Richardson, Gronniosaw, Equiano, Cugoano Marrant, Samson Occom, Mackenzie and Pratt"--Provided by publisher 1.

    "While some literary critics have traced the origins of the novel back to ancient Greece, the modern novel as an access to the narratives of bourgeois modernity emerged into Western culture in the late seventeenth century. The struggle of that class toward definition and the striving to articulate its character is central to the novel and the stories it tells. Its novelty is found in a formlessness that nonetheless aspires to some idea of order and unity. Indeed, the energies of the early modern novel form can be discerned in its constant assertion of narratives that enact that search for completeness while also allowing for a kind of mourning for the security that older, traditional forms and stories allowed. Thus, novelists, then as now, revel in the possibilities that formal innovation permits while their characters find themselves forced to acknowledge the newness of their world and their experiences in that world"-- Introduction: a history of the Irish novel: 1665-2010 -- Interchapter: Virtue Rewarded, or The Irish Princess: burgeoning silence and the new novel form in Ireland -- 1.

    "N War and Peace (1865-9), Nikolai Rostov responds enthusiastically to a request from Boris Drubetskoy to describe how and where he got his wound: He described the Scho·n Graben affair exactly as men who have taken part in battles always do describe them - that is, as they would like them to have been, as they have heard them described by others, and as sounds well, but not in the least as they really had been. Rostov was a truthful young man and would never have told a deliberate lie. He began his story with the intention of telling everything exactly as it happened, but imperceptibly, unconsciously and inevitably he passed into falsehood. If he had told the truth to his listeners who, like himself, had heard numerous descriptions of cavalry charges and had formed a definite idea of what a charge was like and were expecting a precisely similar account from him, either they would not have believed him or, worse still, would have thought Rostov himself to blame if what generally happens to those who describe cavalry charges had not happened to him"-- "Kate McLoughlin's Authoring War is an ambitious and pioneering study of war writing across all literary genres from earliest times to the present day. Examining a range of cultures, she brings wide reading and close rhetorical analysis to illuminate how writers have met the challenge of representing violence, chaos and loss. War gives rise to problems of epistemology, scale, space, time, language and logic. She emphasises the importance of form to an understanding of war literature and establishes connections across periods and cultures from Homer to the 'War on Terror'. Exciting new critical groupings arise in consequence, as Byron's Don Juan is read alongside Heller's Catch-22 and English Civil War poetry alongside Second World War letters. Innovative in its approach and inventive in its encyclopedic range, Authoring War will be indispensable to any discussion of war representation"-- Introduction: authoring war -- 1. Credentials -- 2. Details -- 3. Zones -- 4. Duration -- 5. Diversions -- 6. Laughter -- Conclusion: to perpetual peace.

    "The 'transnational' turn has transformed modernist studies, challenging Western authority over modernism and positioning race and racial theories at the very centre of how we now understand modern literature. Modernism and Race examines relationships between racial typologies and literature in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, drawing on fin de sie;cle versions of anthropology, sociology, political science, linguistics and biology. Collectively, these essays interrogate the anxieties and desires that are expressed in, or projected onto, racialized figures. They include new outlines of how the critical field has developed, revaluations of canonical modernist figures like James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, Ford Madox Ford and Wyndham Lewis, and accounts of writers often positioned at the margins of modernism, such as Zora Neale Hurston, Claude McKay and the Holocaust writers Solomon Perel and Gisella Perl. This timely collection by leading scholars of modernism will make an important contribution to a growing field"-- 1.Germanism, the modern and 'England': 1880-1930: a literary overview /Len Platt --2.'All these fellows are ourselves': Ford Madox Ford, race, and Europe /Max Saunders --3.'Tis optophone which ontophanes': race, the modern and Irish revivalism /Kaori Nagai --4.Generating modernism and ew Criticism from anti-Semitism: Laura Riding and Robert Graves read T.S.

    "This book is about the ways in which certain medieval literary texts use death, dying and the dead to think about problems relating to life - problems political, social, ethical, philosophical or existential. More specifically, it is about the dynamic interface between life and death and about figures caught at that interface, hence 'living death'. There are ghosts and revenants who, although dead, actively speak and will, disturbing the properly living. And there are those who while alive exist under a deathly shadow that forecloses their engagement with life and isolates them from their fellows. Vampires, ghosts and zombies are currently fashionable in popular culture; in literary criticism, tropes of the interstitial, the intermediary or the 'third' are in vogue. What I have attempted to do in this book is to use some of the latter - in particular, Lacan's notion of l'entre-deux-morts - to think through some medieval examples of phenomena related to the former: dead who return to place demands on the living; living who foresee, organize or desire their own deaths"-- "Medieval literature contains many figures caught at the interface between life and death - the dead return to place demands on the living, while the living foresee, organize or desire their own deaths. Jane Gilbert's original study examines the ways in which certain medieval literary texts, both English and French, use these 'living dead' to think about existential, ethical and political issues. In doing so, she shows powerful connections between works otherwise seen as quite disparate, including Chaucer's Book of the Duchess and Legend of Good Women, the Chanson de Roland and the poems of Francois Villon. Written for researchers and advanced students of medieval French and English literature, this book provides original, provocative interpretations of canonical medieval texts in the light of influential modern theories, especially Lacanian psychoanalysis, presented in an accessible and lively way"-- Cover -- Half-title -- Series-title -- Title -- Copyright -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- Note on translations -- Introduction: living death -- Life and death -- Entre-deux-morts -- Death and the work of art -- Lacanian ethics and politics -- Antigone -- Antigone's drive -- Antigone's desire -- A medieval antigone? -- The structure of this book -- Chapter 1 Roland and the second death -- Death drive and life cycle -- Roland between two deaths: the assonanced chanson de roland -- Assonance and rhyme -- The sublime object of ideology -- Chapter 2 The knight as Thing: courtly love in the non-cyclic prose Lancelot -- The non-cyclic prose lancelot -- 'Courtly love and its discontents -- Lancelot and guinevere: lacanian courtly lovers? -- Courtly love ethics -- Galehot -- The knight as thing -- Lamour chevaleresque en anamorphose -- Chapter 3 The ubi sunt topos in Middle French: sad stories of the death of kings -- Imagining sovereignty -- 'Je suis mort -- Dead man talking: villon's 'ballades du temps jadis -- The 'ballade des dames -- The 'ballade des seigneurs -- The 'ballade en vieil langage fran231;ois -- Chapter 4 Ceci nest pas une marguerite: anamorphosis in Pearl -- The narrative -- Anamorphosis -- Pearl as anamorphosis -- Looking awry: heaven versus earth -- Heavenly reason: heaven plus earth -- Pearls and daisies -- Arts of mourning -- Marguerites -- Desiring marguerites -- Full circle? -- Chapter 5 Becoming woman in Chaucer: on ne nat pas femme, on le devient en mourant -- Double obsequies -- Book of the duchess -- Legend of good women -- The revenant -- Repetition -- Conclusion: living dead or dead-in-life? -- Notes -- Introduction: living death -- 1.

    "Charles Dickens, a man so representative of his age as to have become considered synonymous with it, demands to be read in context. This book illuminates the worlds - social, political, economic and artistic - in which Dickens worked. Dickens's professional life encompassed work as a novelist, journalist, editor, public reader and passionate advocate of social reform. This volume offers a detailed treatment of Dickens in each of these roles, exploring the central features of Dickens's age, work and legacy, and uncovering sometimes surprising faces of the man and of the range of Dickens industries. Through 45 digestible short chapters written by a leading expert on each topic, a rounded picture emerges of Dickens's engagement with his time, the influence of his works and the ways he has been read, adapted and re-imagined from the nineteenth century to the present"-- Part I : Life and after life.

    "Reconstructing the literary and philosophical reaction to Adam Smith's dictum that man is a labouring animal above and before all else, this study explores the many ways in which Romantic writers presented idle contemplation as the central activity in human life. By contrasting the British response to Smith's political economy with that of contemporary German Idealists, Richard Adelman also uses this consideration of the importance of idleness to Romantic aesthetics to chart the development of a distinctly British idealism in the last decades of the eighteenth century. Exploring the work of Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, Friedrich Schiller, William Cowper, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Mary Wollstonecraft and many of their contemporaries, this study pinpoints a debate over human activity and capability taking place between 1750 and 1830, and considers its social and political consequences for the cultural theory of the early nineteenth century"-- Introduction -- 1. The division of labour -- 2. Utilitarian education and aesthetic education -- 3. Cowper, Coleridge and Wollstonecraft -- 4. Coleridge's pantisocracy, biographia and Church and state -- Conclusion -- Epilogue: Wordsworth and Kingsley.

    "Imagination and the Contemporary Novel examines the global preoccupation with the imagination among literary authors with ties to former colonies of the British Empire since the 1960s. John Su draws on a wide range of authors including Peter Ackroyd, Monica Ali, Julian Barnes, Andre; Brink, J.M. Coetzee, John Fowles, Amitav Ghosh, Nadine Gordimer, Hanif Kureishi, Salman Rushdie and Zadie Smith. This study rehabilitates the category of imagination in order to understand a broad range of contemporary Anglophone literature. The responses of such literature to shifts in global capitalism have often been misunderstood by the dominant categories of literary studies, the postmodern and the postcolonial. As both an insightful critique into the themes that drive a range of today's best novelists and a bold restatement of what the imagination is and what it means for contemporary culture, this book breaks new ground in the study of twenty-first-century literature"-- Introduction: globalization, imagination and the novel -- Aesthetic revolutions: white South African writing and the state of emergency -- The pastoral and the postmodern -- Hybridity, enterprise culture, and the fiction of multicultural Britain -- Ghosts of essentialism: racial memory as epistemological claim -- Amitav Ghosh and the aesthetic turn in postcolonial studies.

    "Edmund Burke ranks among the most accomplished orators ever to debate in the British Parliament. But often his eloquence has been seen to compromise his achievements as a political thinker. In the first full-length account of Burke's rhetoric, Bullard argues that Burke's ideas about civil society, and particularly about the process of political deliberation, are, for better or worse, shaped by the expressiveness of his language. Above all, Burke's eloquence is designed to express ethos or character. This rhetorical imperative is itself informed by Burke's argument that the competency of every political system can be judged by the ethical knowledge that the governors have of both the people that they govern and of themselves. Bullard finds the intellectual roots of Burke's 'rhetoric of character' in early modern moral and aesthetic philosophy, and traces its development through Burke's parliamentary career to its culmination in his masterpiece, Reflections on the Revolution in France"-- Introduction: Burke, rhetoric and ethics -- 1. The ethical turn in early modern rhetoric, 1600-1760 -- 2. Rhetoric in Ireland, 1693-1765 -- 3. The Epicurean aesthetics of Burke's Philosophical Enquiry -- 4. Episodes in the evolution of Burke's eloquence -- 5. Reflections on the Revolution in France and the rhetoric of character -- 6. Burke, Rousseau and the purchase of eloquence -- Conclusion.

    "Shelley's drafts and notebooks, which have recently been published for the first time, are very revealing about the creative processes behind his poems, and show - through illustrations and doodles - an unexpectedly vivid visual imagination which contributed greatly to the effect of his poetry. Shelley's Visual Imagination analyzes both verbal script and visual sketches in his manuscripts to interpret the lively personifications of concepts such as 'Liberty', 'Anarchy', or 'Life' in his completed poems. Challenging the persistent assumption that Shelley's poetry in particular, and Romantic poetry more generally, reject the visual for expressive voice or music, this first full-length study of the drafts and notebooks combines criticism with a focus upon bibliographic codes and iconic pages. The product of years of close examination of these remarkable texts, this much-anticipated book will be of great value for all students of Shelley and all those interested in the Romantic process of creation"-- Introduction: text and figure -- Mab's metamorphoses -- "Hymn to intellectual beauty': visual texts, invisible figure -- 'Clear elemental shapes': communicating Greek liberty in the Laon and Cythna -- Anarchy's textual progress: representing liberty -- Refiguring gentre in Shelley's 'Ode to Liberty' -- Dispersoning Emily: drafting as plot in Epipsychidion -- 'Compelling/All new successions': death and the poet's figurations in Adonais -- The Triumph of Life: figure, history, and inscription.

    However disconnected the essays in the volume might appear to be at first glance, the unifying factor is the very notion of ambiguity-which is one of the essential features of the postmodern age: how it can be defined as opposed to what it means or is, where it can be found, to what purposes it can be put, including questions of whether it is a positive or negative factor. But this, of course, is not a new phenomenon. Writers have always depended on equivocation, multiplicity of meaning, uncertainty of meaning-deliberate mystification one might say. Language itself is the base of ambiguity not pt. 1. Medieval literature -- pt. 2. British literature -- pt. 3. American literature -- pt. 4. Theoretical applications.

The essays of this volume show how Joyce¿́¿s work engaged with the many upheavals and revolutions within the French nineteenth-century novel and its contexts. They delve into the complexities of this engagement, tracing its twists and turns, and reemerge with fascinating and rich discoveries. The contributors explore Joyce¿́¿s explicit and implicit responses to Alexandre Dumas, Honore¿¿ de Balzac, Victor Hugo and E¿¿mile Zola and, of course, Flaubert. Drawing from the wide range of Joyce¿́¿s writings - Dubliners, A Portrait ..., Ulysses, Finnegans Wake, and his life, letters, and essays - they resituate Joyce¿́¿s relation to France, the novel, and the nineteenth century

    This book presents a new interpretation of Joseph Conrad's novel Lord Jim based on readings from not only its published text but also its principal manuscript text. Extensive use of the manuscript text has not been a feature of any other work on Lord Jim, and such use helps bring into focus a fixed pattern of meaning and an implicit unity that Conrad said the novel has. This result controverts not only postmodern critics, who say that the novel lacks any fixed pattern of meaning, but almost a

    Luke Seaber is the first author to study the influence of G.K. Chesterton on George Orwell. The book analyzes how Chesteron influenced Orwell's novels and how Orwell misrepresented Chesterton because he was embarrassed by this fact. Seaber takes the Orwell-Chesterton relationship one step further by looking at the similarities found within each author's use political language, war-time propaganda, and the symbolism of Dickens. However, Seaber concludes by taking a different direction. Rather than solely illustrating their similarities, Seaber juxtaposes Orwell and Chesterton's literary techniq
