    This book is the first to analyse how BBC radio presented Anglophone Caribbean literature and in turn aided and influenced the shape of imaginative writing in the region. Glyne A. Griffith examines Caribbean Voices broadcasts to the region over a fifteen-year period and reveals that though the program’s funding was colonial in orientation, the content and form were antithetical to the very colonial enterprise that had brought the program into existence. Part literary history and part literary biography, this study fills a gap in the narrative of the region’s literary history Introduction -- The Genesis of Caribbean Voices: People and Policies -- The Critics’ Circle -- Caribbean Voices and Competing Visions of Post-Colonial Community -- A Sustaining Epistolarly Community -- The Naipaul / Mittelholzer Years: 1954-58 -- Afterword

    This book elucidates the ways the pained and suffering body has been registered and mobilized in specifically Irish contexts across more than four hundred years of literature and culture. There is no singular approach to what pain means: the material addressed in this collection covers diverse cultural forms, from reports of battles and executions to stage and screen representations of sexual violence, produced in response to different historical circumstances in terms that confirm our understanding of how pain - whether endured or inflicted, witnessed or remediated - is culturally coded. Pain is as open to ongoing redefinition as the Ireland that features in all of the essays gathered here. This collection offers new paradigms for understanding Ireland’s literary and cultural history Introduction -- Introduction: The Body in Pain in Irish Literature and Culture; Fionnuala Dillane, Naomi McAreavey and Emilie Pine -- 1. Where Does It Hurt? How Pain Makes History in Early Modern Ireland; Patricia Palmer -- 2. 'Most barbarously and inhumaine maner butchered’: Masculinity, Trauma and Memory in Early Modern Ireland; Dianne Hall -- 3. ‘Those Savage Days of Memory’: John Temple and his Narrative of the 1641 Uprising; Sarah Covington -- 4. Severed Heads and Floggings: The Undermining of Oblivion in Ulster in the Aftermath of 1798; Guy Beiner -- 5. ‘Tá mé ag imeacht’: The Execution of Myles Joyce and its Afterlives; Margaret Kelleher -- 6. Pain, Trauma and Memory in the Irish War of Independence: Remembering and Contextualizing Irish Suffering; Ian Miller -- 7. Pain, Pleasure and Revolution: The Body in Roger Casement’s Writings; Michael G. Cronin -- 8. ‘Targets of Shame’: Negotiating the Irish Female Migrant Experience in Kathleen Nevin’s You’ll Never Go Back (1946) and Kate O’Brien’s Mary Lavelle (1936); Sinéad Wall -- 9. ‘Intertextual quotation’: Troubled Irish Bodies and Jewish Intertextual Memory in Colum McCann’s ‘Cathal’s Lake’ and ‘Hunger Strike’; Alison Garden -- 10.

Recovery and Forgetting: Haunting Remains in Northern Irish Culture; Shane Alcobia Murphy -- 12. ‘That’s not so comfortable for you, is it?’: The Spectre of Misogyny in The Fall; Caroline Magennis -- 13. ‘The Art of Grief’: Irish Women’s Poetry of Loss and Healing; Catriona Clutterbuck -- Bibliography -- Index

    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.

Autonomist Narratives of Disability in Modern Scottish Writing: Crip Enchantments explores the intersection between imaginaries of disability and representations of work, welfare and the nation in twentieth and twenty-first century Scottish literature. Disorienting effects erupt when non-normative bodies and minds clash with the structures of capitalist normalcy. This book brings into conversation Scottish studies, disability studies and Marxist autonomist theory to trace the ways in which these “crip enchantments” are imagined in modern Scottish writing, and the “autonomist” narratives of disability by which they are evoked.

    Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Elements of Continuity: Youth and the Oxford Years -- Chapter 3: The War Years: Surprising Continuities -- Chapter 4: Crampton Hodnet: The Continuous Cycle -- Chapter 5: Some Tame Gazelle: Continuity and Contentment -- Chapter 6: Excellent Women: A Continuous Role -- Chapter 7: Jane and Prudence: The End of Austerity. “It is always a treat to welcome a new book about Barbara Pym, especially one that is written so well: free of what Henry James referred to as the 'shackles of theory,' aimed at the general literate reader, and above all, delivered passionately in the author’s own voice. A generous helping of extracts from Pym’s notebooks and commonplace book, heretofore unpublished, along with new insights into the early years of the developing writer, offer a fresh perspective from which Prof. Stockard explores 'change' as an important developing theme. The Making of Barbara Pym: Oxford, the War Years, and Post-War Austerity is a fine book on many levels.” --Dale Salwak, Professor of English, Citrus College, USA and editor of The Life and Work of Barbara Pym The Making of Barbara Pym offers new insights into Pym’s formative years as a writer, during which she honed a complex view of the necessity of change on individual and cultural levels. Supported by newly published archival material, this comprehensive study of Pym’s early work explores her personal and fictional pre-war and wartime writing, including unpublished and posthumously published works, before looking closely at Some Tame Gazelle and Excellent Women, published during Britain’s post-war austerity period. Of central importance is a new recognition of Pym’s use of social roles, particularly those of women, as proper avenues for change. The book traces how Pym came to devise characters whose individual development can be seen as analogous to or representative of larger cultural movements. Pym uses the spinster figure to embody the forward-looking cultural perspectives that she endorsed and then, finally, in Jane and Prudence, to figure the end of Britain’s austerity period. Emily Stockard is Associate Professor of English at Florida Atlantic University, USA. A graduate of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, she has taught classes in British literature, from Chaucer to the 18th century. She has published on 16th and 17th-century poetry and drama and, most recently, on Denton Welch and Barbara Pym.

    Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: The age of cultural Iberisms (1870-1890) -- Chapter 3: The age of symbolism and modernismo -- Chapter 4: The first Portuguese modernism and the first avant-garde -- Chapter 5: The second Portuguese modernism and the generation of 1927: some open-ended reflections. This book explores a key historical moment for literary and cultural relations between Spain and Portugal. Focusing on the period between 1870 and 1930, it analyses the contacts between Portuguese and Spanish writers and artists of this period, showing that, at least among the cultural elites, there were intense and fruitful dialogues across political and linguistic borders. The book presents the Iberian Peninsula as a complex and multilingual cultural polysystem in which diverse literary cultures coexist and are mutually dependent upon each other. It offers a panoramic view of Iberian literary and cultural history, encompassing not just Portuguese and Spanish literary productions, but also Catalan, Galician and Basque works. Combining a clear theoretical foundation with deep historical knowledge and references to specific texts and works, the book offers a thorough introduction to Iberian literature in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Antonio Sáez Delgado is Associate Professor at the University of Évora, Portugal, an integrated researcher at the Interdisciplinary Center of History, Cultures and Societies, and a collaborator researcher at the Centre for Comparative Studies in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Lisbon. Santiago Pérez Isasi is Principal Researcher at the Center for Comparative Studies at the University of Lisbon, Portugal, with a research contract offered by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) from the Portuguese Ministry of Science.

Die (historischen) Avantgarden und der Anarchismus -- „Je n’y vois guère, moi, que des conformistes, des gens asservis à une foi sans générosité, à une discipline sans amour.“ Georges Bernanos oder die Reaktion eines Christen gegen die ‚Wohlanständigen’ -- Proletarische Authentizität gegen bürgerliche Literatur: Legitimierungsstrategien der proletarischen Literatur bei Henri Barbusse, Henry Poulaille und Antonio Gramsci -- Im Bann des leeren Zentrums der Demokratie: von der antibürgerlichen Komik in Jules Romains’ Les Copains zur Tragödie der Hommes de bonne volonté -- Caillois, lecteur de Balzac: Zum Mythos männlicher Energie -- Louis-Ferdinand Célines Überbietung der Antibürgerlichkeit als Roman und Pamphlet: Mort à crédit und Bagatelles pour un massacre. Der Band untersucht ästhetische und diskursive Formen, die in der Moderne in Frankreich, Italien, Spanien und Lateinamerika an die Kritik des Bürgerlichen geknüpft sind. Das Spektrum reicht von anarchistischen Reformdiskursen und reaktionären Gesellschaftsentwürfen bis hin zu Modellen einer christlichen Kapitalismuskritik und den revolutionären Programmen der Avantgarden. Vor dem Hintergrund eines Wiedererstarkens antibürgerlicher Formationen in der Gegenwart bietet der Band eine historisch-kritische Diskussion alternativer Sozialimaginationen jenseits der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft.

    Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: The Deep Dead: Detective Fiction and Archaeology -- Chapter 3: The tongue is a fire: Patricia Wentworth’s Miss Silver Novels -- Chapter 4: The Body in the Library: Georgette Heyer, Dorothy Dunnett, Sarah Caudwell -- Chapter 5: Cover Her Face: Elizabethan and Jacobean Drama -- Chapter 6: Historic Scotland: Val McDermid’s Cold Cases -- Chapter 7: Crime at Christmas -- Chapter 8: Detecting the Dead -- Chapter 9: Conclusion. Burial Plots in British Detective Fiction offers an overview of the ways in which the past is brought back to the surface and influences the present in British detective fiction written between 1920 and 2020. Exploring a range of authors including Agatha Christie, Patricia Wentworth, Val McDermid, Sarah Caudwell, Georgette Heyer, Dorothy Dunnett, Jonathan Stroud and Ben Aaronovitch, Lisa Hopkins argues that both the literal and literary disinterment of the past use elements of the national past to interrogate the present. As such, in the texts discussed, uncovering the truth about an individual crime is also typically an uncovering of a more general connection between the present and the past. Whether detective novels explore murders on archaeological digs, hauntings, cold crimes or killings at Christmas, Hopkins explores the underlying message that you cannot understand the present unless you understand the past.

    Introduction: The Humanities in a Utilitarian Age -- Chapter 1: Interventions -- Chapter 2: Accommodations -- Chapter 3: Institutions -- Chapter 4: The Idea of a University. - Conclusion. This book explores the ways that critics writing in the early nineteenth century developed arguments in favour of the humanities in the face of utilitarian pressures. Its focus reflects the ways that similar pressures today have renewed the question of how to make the case for the public value of the humanities. The good news is that in many ways, this self-reflexive challenge is precisely what the humanities have always done best: highlight the nature and the force of the narratives that have helped to define how we understand our society – its various pasts and its possible futures – and to suggest the larger contexts within which these issues must ultimately be situated. .

    1. Introduction: Provincializing the Rise of the British Novel in the Transatlantic Public Sphere -- 2. Foundations: Defoe and Equiano -- 3. Digressions: Sancho and Sterne -- 3. Resistances: Austen and Wedderburn -- 4. Consolidations: Dickens and Seacole -- 5. Conclusion: Queering the Remembrance of Slavery Today. 'The key idea of this book is to reevaluate the rise of the British novel from Defoe to Dickens by reading it alongside early Black Atlantic writings from Equiano to Seacole. Elahe Haschemi Yekani profoundly argues that the rise of bourgeois regimes of affect – from 18th century sentimentalism all the way to the heteronormative model of the Victorian family which still haunts us today – was neither a national, nor a white project, but deeply invested and entangled in transatlantic slavery and its aftermath. Compellingly argued, and beautifully written.' - Lars Eckstein, Professor of Anglophone Literatures and Cultures, University of Potsdam, Germany. 'Familial Feeling provides a necessary corrective to the narrowly defined canon of great British Literature. Haschemi Yekani makes us rethink the structures that gird British literary epistemologies and opens our eyes to changes long past due. Familial Feeling is not only required reading for everyone who reads in the British literary tradition, it is also a compelling, nuanced inquiry into the construction of knowledge itself.' - Michelle M. Wright, Longstreet Professor of English, Emory University, USA This open access book discusses British literature as part of a network of global entangled modernities and shared aesthetic concerns, departing from the retrospective model of a postcolonial “writing back” to the centre. Accordingly, the narrative strategies in the texts of early Black Atlantic authors, like Equiano, Sancho, Wedderburn, and Seacole, and British canonical novelists, such as Defoe, Sterne, Austen, and Dickens, are framed as entangled tonalities. Via their engagement with discourses on slavery, abolition, and imperialism, these texts shaped an understanding of national belonging as a form of familial feeling. This study thus complicates the “rise of the novel” framework and British middle-class identity formation from a transnational perspective combining approaches in narrative studies with postcolonial and queer theory.

Johns, Biggles, and T. E. Lawrence’s Flight into the Air Force -- Chapter 15: ‘Watch the Skies!’: Guernica, Dresden and the Age of the Bomber in George Orwell and Rex Warner . Aviation in the Literature and Culture of Interwar Britain looks at the impact of aviation in Britain and beyond through the 1920s and 1930s. This book considers how in this period flying went from a weapon of war to an extensive industry that included civilian air travel, air mail delivery, flying shows and campaigns to create ‘airmindedness’. Essays look at these developments through the work of writers, filmmakers and flyers and examines the airminded modernism that marked this radical period. Its fourteen chapters include studies of texts by Virginia Woolf, George Orwell, Elizabeth Bowen, W.H. Auden, T.H. White and John Masefield; accounts of the annual RAF Display at Hendon and the Schneider Trophy; and the achievements of celebrity flyers such as Amy Johnson. This collection provides a fresh perspective on the interwar period by bringing analysis of aviation and airmindedness to the study of British literature, history, modernism, mobilities and the history of technology and transportation.

    Chapter 1/ Infinite London: the London-ness of London -- Chapter 2/ The Disintegration of London in Alan Moore’s Psychogeography -- Chapter 3/ Peter Ackroyd’s Sensuous Detective Method in Hawksmoor -- Chapter 4/ Writing Psychogeography, Writing London through a Screen Darkly: White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings -- Chapter 5/ London-ness: a Marriage of the Literary and the Psychogeographical. This Pivot book examines literary elements of urban topography that have animated Alan Moore, Peter Ackroyd, and Iain Sinclair’s respective representations of London-ness. Ann Tso argues these authors write London “psychogeographically” to deconstruct popular visions of London with colonial and neoliberal undertones. Moore’s psychogeography consists of bird’s-eye views that reveal the brute force threatening to unravel Londonscape from within; Ackroyd’s aims to detect London sensuously, since every new awareness recalls an otherworldly London; Sinclair’s conjures up a narrative consciousness made erratic by London’s disunified landscape. Drawing together the dystopian, the phenomenological, and the postcolonial, Tso explores how these texts characterize “London-ness” as estranging.

    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/ Infinite London: the London-ness of London -- Chapter 2/ The Disintegration of London in Alan Moore’s Psychogeography -- Chapter 3/ Peter Ackroyd’s Sensuous Detective Method in Hawksmoor -- Chapter 4/ Writing Psychogeography, Writing London through a Screen Darkly: White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings -- Chapter 5/ London-ness: a Marriage of the Literary and the Psychogeographical. This Pivot book examines literary elements of urban topography that have animated Alan Moore, Peter Ackroyd, and Iain Sinclair’s respective representations of London-ness. Ann Tso argues these authors write London “psychogeographically” to deconstruct popular visions of London with colonial and neoliberal undertones. Moore’s psychogeography consists of bird’s-eye views that reveal the brute force threatening to unravel Londonscape from within; Ackroyd’s aims to detect London sensuously, since every new awareness recalls an otherworldly London; Sinclair’s conjures up a narrative consciousness made erratic by London’s disunified landscape. Drawing together the dystopian, the phenomenological, and the postcolonial, Tso explores how these texts characterize “London-ness” as estranging.

    Chapter 1: ‘Define Your Terms’ -- Chapter 2: Language and Addiction -- Chapter 3: Morality and Addiction -- Chapter 4: Philosophy and Addiction -- Chapter 5: The Streets and Addiction -- Chapter 6: Prostitution and Addiction -- Chapter 7: Rehabilitation Clinics and Addiction -- Chapter 8: The Rooms: Alcoholics Anonymous -- Chapter 9: Works Cited -- Index. Narratives of Addiction: Savage Usury is the first book to argue, in the face of more than a century’s received wisdom, that drug addiction and alcoholism are undoubtedly evidence of individual moral flaws. However, the sense of morality that underlies this book is completely severed from Christianity. Instead, it is influenced in particular by the writings of the nineteenth-century German philosophers Arthur Schopenhauer and Frederick Nietzsche, both of whom insisted that a genuine morality was actually incompatible with Christianity. The sequence of chapters moves from addictions on the streets, into rehab clinics, and finally into the meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. This is the first book to argue that the search for pleasure drives alcoholism and drug addiction and not the “numbing of pain”. Throughout the book I reject the claims of the medical profession, as embodied by the American Medical Association, that drug addiction and alcoholism are diseases, and further argue that they do not have the authority to tell hundreds of millions of Americans that addiction is not a moral failing. I also query throughout the book the claims of neuroscience, psychology, and the social sciences that addictions to alcohol and drugs are attributable to causes that their specific disciplines are best suited to understand. I argue that there is nothing complex about addiction: it is a simple behavioural disorder. It is the language routinely employed to discuss addiction that is not complex, just confused, and so it is also the rhetoric of addiction discourse, especially its use of simile, metaphor and euphemism, that this book evaluates. Dr Kevin McCarron is the author of two previous monographs: William Golding, and The Coincidence of Opposites, and a co-author of Frightening Fiction. He worked as a stand-up comedian for many years. He has published forty chapters in edited collections and nineteen peer-reviewed journal articles on a range of subjects including The Dead Sea Scrolls, university teaching and stand-up comedy, blasphemy, prison narratives, tattooing, prostitution, alcoholism and heroin addiction, begging and homelessness, and the Marquis de Sade.

    Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Reverse Discourse Tramp Memoirs -- Chapter 3. Reverse Discourse Tramp Fiction -- Chapter 4. Conclusion./. ‘The first comprehensive survey of trampdom over the last 600 years. Uniquely informative and readable.’ —John Sutherland, Emeritus Lord Northcliffe Professor of English, University College London ‘Davies’ remarkable monograph is the most comprehensive text available on tramp fiction, biography and autobiography.’ —Ian Cutler, author of The Lives And Extraordinary Adventures Of Fifteen Tramp Writers ‘Essential reading for anyone interested in the wider currents of working-class life writing and fiction.’ —Nick Hubble, Professor of English, Brunel University London ‘With its abundance of arresting examples and careful theoretical analyses, this book will interest all who ponder proletarian literature’s radical political possibilities.’ —Florence Boos, Professor of English, University of Iowa ‘An absorbing study, meticulously detailed and contextualised, on an important topic.’ —John Goodridge, Emeritus Professor of English, Nottingham Trent University ‘A remarkable service for scholars and students alike, raising pressing, timely questions about the ideology of productiveness.’ —Matthew Beaumont, Professor of English, University College London The Tramp in British Literature, 1850–1950 offers an account of the emergence of a new conception of homelessness in the mid-nineteenth century, which it argues reflects the evolution of capitalism and disciplinary society in this period. In the process it uncovers a neglected body of literature on the subject of the tramp written by thirty-three memoir writers and eighteen fiction writers, most of whom were themselves homeless. In analysing these works, The Tramp in British Literature presents select texts as a unique and ignored contribution to a wider radical discourse defined by its opposition to a societal fixation upon the need to be productive. Luke Lewin Davies teaches at the University of Tübingen, Germany.

Vor dem Hintergrund eines Wiedererstarkens antibürgerlicher Formationen in der Gegenwart bietet der Band eine historisch-kritische Diskussion alternativer Sozialimaginationen jenseits der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft.

    Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Elements of Continuity: Youth and the Oxford Years -- Chapter 3: The War Years: Surprising Continuities -- Chapter 4: Crampton Hodnet: The Continuous Cycle -- Chapter 5: Some Tame Gazelle: Continuity and Contentment -- Chapter 6: Excellent Women: A Continuous Role -- Chapter 7: Jane and Prudence: The End of Austerity. “It is always a treat to welcome a new book about Barbara Pym, especially one that is written so well: free of what Henry James referred to as the 'shackles of theory,' aimed at the general literate reader, and above all, delivered passionately in the author’s own voice. A generous helping of extracts from Pym’s notebooks and commonplace book, heretofore unpublished, along with new insights into the early years of the developing writer, offer a fresh perspective from which Prof. Stockard explores 'change' as an important developing theme. The Making of Barbara Pym: Oxford, the War Years, and Post-War Austerity is a fine book on many levels.” --Dale Salwak, Professor of English, Citrus College, USA and editor of The Life and Work of Barbara Pym The Making of Barbara Pym offers new insights into Pym’s formative years as a writer, during which she honed a complex view of the necessity of change on individual and cultural levels. Supported by newly published archival material, this comprehensive study of Pym’s early work explores her personal and fictional pre-war and wartime writing, including unpublished and posthumously published works, before looking closely at Some Tame Gazelle and Excellent Women, published during Britain’s post-war austerity period. Of central importance is a new recognition of Pym’s use of social roles, particularly those of women, as proper avenues for change. The book traces how Pym came to devise characters whose individual development can be seen as analogous to or representative of larger cultural movements. Pym uses the spinster figure to embody the forward-looking cultural perspectives that she endorsed and then, finally, in Jane and Prudence, to figure the end of Britain’s austerity period. Emily Stockard is Associate Professor of English at Florida Atlantic University, USA. A graduate of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, she has taught classes in British literature, from Chaucer to the 18th century. She has published on 16th and 17th-century poetry and drama and, most recently, on Denton Welch and Barbara Pym.
