    George Eliot to Zadie Smith

    The novel of ideas is an important form that is both under-theorised and largely neglected in accounts of the development of the novel in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This book sets out the history of this critical hostility, which took hold as the aesthetic protocols of literary modernism became established among key literary tastemakers in Britain. It then proposes a revaluation and ... Read more

  • The Collective Voice

    Modern Literature and the Politics of Speech

    While collective speech can seem a disparate set of practices—from prayers to protest chants, and from football songs to oaths of allegiance and national anthems—Matthew Taunton argues that we can think of these together. Speaking in unison is often considered to be in decline in an individualistic modernity, and associated with earlier, more ritualistic, and even 'primitive' states of being. In ... Read more

  • A History of 1930s British Literature

    This History offers a new and comprehensive picture of 1930s British literature. The '30s have often been cast as a literary-historical anomaly, either as a 'low, dishonest decade', a doomed experiment in combining art and politics, or as a 'late modernist' afterthought to the intense period of artistic experimentation in the 1920s. By contrast, the contributors to this volume explore the contours ... Read more

    by Nina Taunton ...
    1590s Drama and Militarism is a fascinating interdisciplinary study of various textual interventions into the military realities of the late Elizabethan period.
