  • Economic Investigations in Twentieth-Century Detective Fiction

    Expenditure, Labor, Value

    de Yan Zi-Ling ...
    In his study of Golden Age and hard-boiled detective fiction from 1890 to 1950, Yan Zi-Ling argues that these two subgenres can be distinguished not only by theme and style, but by the way they structure knowledge, value, and productive labour. Using the detective as a reference point and enactor of socially based interests, Yan shows that Golden Age texts are distinguished by their ... Leer más

  • Sacred Surrealism, Dissidence and International Avant-Garde Prose

    de Vivienne Brough-Evans ...
    Series series Studies in Surrealism
    Vivienne Brough-Evans proposes a compelling new way of reevaluating aspects of international surrealism by means of the category of divin fou, and consequently deploys theories of sacred ecstasy as developed by the Collège de Sociologie (1937–39) as a critical tool in shedding new light on the literary oeuvre of non-French writers who worked both within and against a surrealist framework.The minor ...

  • Space and Narrative in the Nineteenth-Century British Historical Novel

    de Tom Bragg ...
    Demonstrating that nineteenth-century historical novelists played their rational, trustworthy narrators against shifting and untrustworthy depictions of space and place, Tom Bragg argues that the result was a flexible form of fiction that could be modified to reflect both the different historical visions of the authors and the changing aesthetic tastes of the reader. Bragg focuses on Scott, ... Leer más

  • The Vocation of Evelyn Waugh

    Faith and Art in the Post-War Fiction

    de D. Marcel DeCoste ...
    Arguing against the critical commonplace that Evelyn Waugh’s post-war fiction represents a decline in his powers as a writer, D. Marcel DeCoste offers detailed analyses of Waugh's major works from Brideshead Revisited to Unconditional Surrender. Rather than representing an ill-advised departure from his true calling as an iconoclastic satirist, DeCoste suggests, these novels form a cohesive, ... Leer más

  • Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Reprinting and the Embodied Book

    de Jessica DeSpain ...
    Series series Ashgate Series in Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Studies
    Until the Chace Act in 1891, no international copyright law existed between Britain and the United States, which meant publishers were free to edit text, excerpt whole passages, add new illustrations, and substantially redesign a book's appearance. In spite of this ongoing process of transatlantic transformation of texts, the metaphor of the book as a physical embodiment of its author persisted. ... Leer más

  • The Oppositional Aesthetics of Chartist Fiction

    Reading against the Middle-Class Novel

    de Rob Breton ...
    Redressing a gap in Chartism studies, Rob Breton focuses on the fiction that emerged from the movement, placing it in the context of the Victorian novel and reading it against the works aimed at the middle-class. Breton examines works by well-known writers such as Ernest Jones and Thomas Cooper alongside those of obscure or anonymous writers, rejecting the charge that Chartist fiction fails ... Leer más
