  • On the Way Homeby Marie Bridge

    Karnac Books 2008; US$ 15.95

    'On The Way Home' is a series of public dialogues intended to forge links between psychoanalysis and other disciplines, including the physical and the social sciences, history and literature. They are held at the Institute of Psychoanalysis and attract a wide audience. The book features Rose Tremain in conversation with Margot Waddell, A. S. Byatt... more...

  • Imagining The Realby Robert Grant; David Inshaw

    Palgrave Macmillan 2003; US$ 151.00

    Throughout its ten related essays, Imagining the Real contrasts our abstract imaginings about the human world with the imaginative insights provided by art and experience. It questions, variously, the relevance of game theory and sociobiology to politics; the supposed intrinsic values of liberal freedom, cultural change, and democratic action; and... more...

  • Anglo-Irish Modernism and the Maternalby Dr Diane Stubbings

    Palgrave Macmillan 2000; US$ 148.00

    Anglo-Irish Modernism and the Maternal argues that a focus on the construction of mother-figures in Irish culture illuminates the extraordinary achievement of the Irish modernists. Essentially, the seminal Irish modernists - Moore, Joyce, Synge, Yeats and O'Casey - resisted those mother-figures sanctioned by cultural discourses, re-writing her in... more...

  • Fictions of Female Adultery 1684-1890by Bill Overton

    Palgrave Macmillan 2002; US$ 155.00

    Women's adultery provides many of the plots that run through nineteenth-century European fiction. This book discusses how novels of adultery have been theorized, argues its own theoretical perspective, and analyzes two 'circumtexts' of the fiction of female adultery: its pre-history in eighteenth-century Britain, and its decline during the Naturalist... more...

  • Rhetoric and Violence in Northern Ireland, 1968-98by Patrick Grant

    Palgrave Macmillan 2001; US$ 145.00

    During the Northern Irish Troubles of the past thirty years, a war of words has accompanied and interpenetrated with the actual conduct of violence in highly complex ways. This book considers how literature of the period engages and participates in this war of words. It draws on a range of contemporary authors and on a variety of printed sources, including... more...

  • Modernism and the Post-Colonialby Peter Childs

    Continuum International Publishing 2007; US$ 100.00

    This book considers the shifts in aesthetic representation over the period 1885-1930 that coincide both with the rise of literary Modernism and imperialism's high point. If it is no coincidence that the rise of the novel accompanied the expansion of empire in the eighteenth-century, then the historical conditions of fiction as the empire waned... more...

  • Gothic Historiesby Clive Bloom

    Continuum International Publishing 2010; US$ 110.00

    In the middle of the eighteenth century the Gothic became the universal language of architecture, painting and literature, expressing a love not only of ruins, decay and medieval pageantry, but also the drug-induced monsters of the mind. By explaining the international dimension of Gothicism and dealing in detail with German, French and American authors,... more...

  • A Miscellany of Murderby The Monday Murder Club

    F+W Media 2011; US$ 14.95

    Why do they call Adelaide, Australia the "City of Corpses"? How many people did Agatha Christie kill with her pen? And what did Edgar Allen Poe, America's first murder mystery writer, really die of? There's nothing like a little murder to capture a reader's attention. And in this random shooting of a trivia book, readers find all the gumshoes, guns,... more...

  • When is a Man a Man?by Anja Drautzburg

    Tectum Verlag 2011; US$ 21.56

    Hauptbeschreibung Men are allowed to cry. At least in the novels of Anne Brontė and her sister Charlotte as well as Elizabeth Gaskell. All three surely hold a front-row seat in British literary history. Thus whatever they wrote is still regarded as representative of the Mid-Victorian period. Anja Drautzburg explores Mid-Victorian forms and concepts... more...

  • "The Sound of Truth"by Cornelia Stott

    Tectum Verlag 2011; US$ 30.18

    Hauptbeschreibung Everybody knows what biographies are and many people still turn to them for truth about their subjects. But it is more obvious than ever that we can't completely trust records of the past, just as we can't always trust an eyewitness report to be true and objective. So life-stories, and particularly those with a neat narrative structure,... more...
