    Drawing on narratological and feminist theory, Susan Sniader Lanser explores patterns of narration in a wide range of novels by women of England, France, and the United States from the 1740s to the present. She sheds light on the history of "voice" as a narrative strategy and as a means of attaining social power. She considers the dynamics in personal voice in authors such as Mary Shelley, Charlotte Brontë, Zora Neale Hurston, and Jamaica Kincaid. In writers who attempt a "communal voice"--Including Mary Wollstonecraft, Elizabeth Gaskell, Joan Chase, and Monique Wittig--she finds innovative strategies that challenge the conventions of Western narrative

    "Tactics of the Human: Experimental Technics in American Fiction examines the ways contemporary American fiction develops digital cultures through the creative transposition of digital rhetorics and technological practices, incorporating devices such as the hyperlink, network, and recursive processing into print or in translating a classic print narrative into a digital hypertext fiction. These literary experiments with early digital cultures from the 1990s comparatively retrace and speculate on the digital's transformative influence on prior understandings of the human, of social lives, and of individuals' relations to material lifeworlds, exploring the consequences of the apparent plasticity of the boundaries of the human, particularly for women, subaltern subjects, and others already considered liminally human. As these texts query the digital technics entering into textual practices, subjectivity, spatial practices and social networks, lived space, nation, and economic circulation, they reconceive their own literary print narrative methods and material modes of circulation in order to elaborate on unnoticed potentialities and limits of digital technics, providing a crucial means to reorient digital cultures of the present"--

    This volume explores how postcolonial historical fiction can be a valuable resource for thinking about the prehistory of our present. It examines how novels from, and about, the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds present specific historical and oceanic instances of colonialism and highlights the continuities between the colonial era and our own.

    Schools of Sympathy is a feminist exploration of gender and identification in Samuel Richardson's Clarissa, Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, Henry James's Portrait of a Lady, and Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles.

    In this 1990 book John Limon examines the various ways American authors have approached the writing of fiction (and justified that writing) in an age increasingly dominated by science. He focuses in particular on Charles Brockden Brown, Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne - three highly articulate and highly alarmed witnesses to the professionalisation of science, the great crisis in modern intellectual history. It was, he argues, especially specially difficult for American writers to face this crisis since they could make no appeal to traditional values: America, after all, had never really been a pre-scientific society Part I: Toward a disciplinary intellectual history -- Part II: Brown's epistemology -- Romancing Newton -- The locked closet -- A Cartesian plague -- Hume and repetition -- Kant and madness -- Coda -- Part III: Poe's methodology -- Is science deadly dull? -- Is there a life science? -- Undying literature -- Part IV: Hawthorne's technology -- The anxieties of alienation -- The problems of preemption -- Treachery betrayed -- Part V: After the revolutions: Brown and Dreiser, Poe and Pynchon, Hawthorne and Mailer -- Sister Caries, Brother Arthur -- Polar similarity -- The celestial spacecraft

    This book examines fiction and ethnography as related forms for analysing and exhibiting social life. Focusing on the novels of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, and Edith Wharton, the study argues that novels and ethnographies collaborated to produce an unstable but powerful master discourse of 'culture', a discourse that allowed writers to turn new social energies and fears into particular kinds of authorial expertise. Crossing a range of institutions (anthropology, literature, museums, law) and texts (novels, ethnographies, travel books, social theory), this study allows fiction to take its place in a web of social practices that categorize, display and regulate what Wharton calls 'the customs of the country'

    Literary journalism is a rich field of study that has played an important role in the creation of the English and American literary canons. In this original and engaging study, Doug Underwood focuses on the many notable journalists-turned-novelists found at the margins of fact and fiction since the early eighteenth century, when the novel and the commercial periodical began to emerge as powerful cultural forces. Writers from both sides of the Atlantic are discussed, from Daniel Defoe to Charles Dickens, and from Mark Twain to Joan Didion. Underwood shows how many literary reputations are built on journalistic foundations of research and reporting, and how this impacts on questions of realism and authenticity throughout the work of many canonical authors. This book will be of great interest to researchers and students of British and American literature Journalism and the rise of the novel, 1700-1875 : Daniel Defoe to George Eliot -- Literary realism and the fictions of the industrialized press, 1850-1915 : Mark Twain to Theodore Dreiser -- Reporters as novelists and the making of contemporary journalistic fiction, 1890-today : Rudyard Kipling to Joan Didion -- The taint of journalistic literature and the stigma of the ink-stained wretch : Joel Chandler Harris to Dorothy Parker and beyond -- Epilogue : the future of journalistic fiction and the legacy of the journalist-literary figures : Henry James to Tom Wolfe -- Appendix : the major journalist-literary figures : their writings and positions in journalism
