    This study of Voss by the Anglo-Australian Patrick White analyses the historical novel, set in the 1850s and concerning Voss’s exploration of the interior of Australia, as a parable of the writer’s exploration of the Australian historical, social and cultural context of the 1950s. The study employs a variety of critical apparatus including a post-structuralist and postcolonial approach, which also encompasses linguistics, sociolinguistics and comparative studies. This multi-level critical aid allows the examination of four levels of exploration utilised by the author. Following an analysis of the protagonist’s geographical movement into the desert and his personal transformation, the study moves on to an exploration of the narrative itself. It explores how the novel becomes subject to change, absorbing and contesting a variety of literary genres ranging from the ‘chronicle’ to the parable. Through this multi-level approach, the study demonstrates the variety of readings the novel stimulates and displays its rich intertextual and subtextual elements and links.

    Tolkien no habría estado de acuerdo con el empleo del término "Occidente" para hablar del espacio legendario y cultural que tenía en mente cuando reconstruyó y re-mitificó el pasado literario en su obra cumbre. El término proviene de la Antigüedad Clásica y no abarca en su origen los territorios del vasto Norte, cuyas tradiciones literarias Tolkien también incorporó en su visión mitificada del Oeste. El Oeste de Tolkien sintetiza leyendas y expresiones literarias del oeste, norte y sur de Europa, y por ello los personajes de El Señor de los Anillos a menudo hunden sus raíces en una multitud de géneros literarios.El presente estudio recorre la evolución de los personajes principales de la obra de Tolkien y explica, entre otras cosas, cómo el diálogo entre diferentes géneros literarios puede dar cuenta de las aparentes incoherencias en el personaje de Aragorn, los diferentes papeles genéricos que desempeña Gandalf a lo largo de la historia, o cómo unos prosaicos hobbits, surgidos de la Inglaterra rural del siglo XIX, son capaces de relacionarse con los antiguos mundos épicos de Rohan y Gondor.

    El objetivo de nuestro estudio es demostrar cómo el concepto culturalmente relevante e interesante de hogar y naturaleza juega un papel activo y central en La Comunidad del Anillo de JRR Tolkien y en Mago y Cristal de Stephen King. Para ello, analizamos la idea de hogar desarrollada en ambas obras desde el punto de vista de la crítica medioambiental, aportando puntos ilustrativos que justifican las implicaciones ecológicas en la obra de Tolkien y, a su vez, contrastando los resultados obtenidos mediante un análisis comparativo con la obra de King. Presentamos la forma en que ambos autores añaden una nueva perspectiva al concepto de hogar, en la que se presenta un enfoque sostenible y ambientalmente integrado en el que la naturaleza no se sitúa en un espacio separado y artificial, sino al mismo nivel que los protagonistas de las historias.

    Since Forster's death in 1970, many British novelists and film directors have acknowledged and even claimed the influence of the novelist of the English soul (in Woolf's terms) and of a renewed faith in both human relationships and a quintessentially British liberal-humanism. After the ethical turn at the end of the twentieth century, British literature today seems to go back even more drastically to the figure of the individual human being, and to turn the narrative space into some laboratory of a new form of empowerment of the other's political autonomy. It is in this context that the references to Forster are more and more frequent, both in British fiction and in academia. This book does not only aim at spotting and theorising this return to Forster today. Rather we endeavour to trace its genealogy and shed light on the successive modes of the legacy, from Forster's first novel, Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905) onwards, to the novelisation of Forster himself by Damon Galgut. How can the principle of connection, of correspondences and echoes, which informed Forster's private life and approach to writing so much, equally characterise the aesthetic and political influence of his œuvre?

    «The book edited by Elsa Cavalié and Laurent Mellet is extremely broad and varied. It unites the works of seasoned Forsterians with those of young scholars embarking on their academic careers, as well as an impressive variety of critical approaches and fields in which Forster's legacies can still be felt. Although apparently addressed primarily to Forsterian scholars, it should be, at least in part, equally interesting for scholars interested e.g. in contemporary gay fiction or adaptation studies, as well as in the writers indebted to Forster.» (Krzysztof Fordoński, Polish Journal of English Studies 3.2/2017)

    Taking as its common thread the overtly theatrical nature of early modern society and its cultural and political manifestations this book studies dramatic texts, dedications, autobiographies, adaptations and performative practices, to prove that the boundaries between on and off stage performances of gender are blurred. Thus, the limits that separate theatre and life are highly permeable and the relations between both are bidirectional: the performativity of gender and identity is an idea that the theatre takes from and transfers to society. This concept is applied to a wide timeframe creating a dialogue between different historical times and cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, the authors explore sexualities as written and performed by both men and women, offering a wider scope to determine whether and to what extent normative gender roles are being questioned, contested or reinforced.

    The portrayal of nature in the genre of fantasy fiction, from the Middle Ages to more modern times, has been conditioned by the diverging social, political and historical contexts. This book seeks to disclose how the natural world has been depicted within this genre during different periods, drawing a comparison between the British tradition of fantasy literature and Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea cycle. Le Guin adheres to the general traits of the genre up to a point, but as a woman of the 20th century living in the American West, her works also deviate from the received tradition in many significant ways.
