    If air travel was once the bold future, it has now settled into a mundane, on-going present.

In The End of Airports, Christopher Schaberg suggests that even as the epoch of flight approaches a threshold of banality, there are still mysteries to be unraveled around our ... Leer más

    Moments of Revelation, Fragments of Modernity

    de Gillian Piggott ...
    Placing the works of Charles Dickens and Walter Benjamin in conversation with one another, Gillian Piggott argues that the two writers display a shared vision of modernity.

  • Swinburne's Apollo

    Myth, Faith, and Victorian Spirituality

    de Yisrael Levin ...
    Focusing on Algernon Charles Swinburne's poems on Apollo, Yisrael Levin calls for a re-examination of the poet's place in Victorian studies in light of his contributions to nineteenth-century intellectual history.

    Music and Individuality in the Work of Thomas Hardy

    de John Hughes ...

  • The University a Place of Slavery

    A Glimpse into the Role of the Academia in the Capitalist Order

    de George Hajjar Ph.D ...
    Over forty years ago, I wrote a memo for the sixties, The University: A Place of Slavery, in the heat of the battle. I did not alter or revise the text so that the reader of the second decade of the twenty-first century can capture the temper and the spirit of the exciting sixties. The memo is self-explanatory; it is hubris and upheavals with a Sparticist touch, and it includes the literature of ... Leer más

    de John Cyril Barton, Kristin N. Huston, a Preface by David S. Reynolds ...
    Series series Ashgate Series in Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Studies
    Bringing together sensation writing and transatlantic studies, this collection makes a convincing case for the symbiotic relationship between literary works on both sides of the Atlantic.
