Esta monografía se plantea el análisis de los patrones temáticos y poéticos que definen la poesía de Shirley Campbell Barr y Mayra Santos Febres. Los resultados de la investigación permiten destacar los puntos de contacto entre la producción de ambas autoras, pero también delinean los vínculos que la producción de las dos poetas mantiene con la producción literaria del marco afrodescendiente. Al mismo tiempo, el estudio aclara los elementos por los cuales su poesía puede ser incluida en la reciente categoría analítica de 'literatura de la afrodescendencia'.

Shirley Hazzard: New Critical Essays is the first collection of scholarly essays on the work of the acclaimed Australian-born, New York-based author. In the course of the last half century, Hazzard's writing has crossed and re-crossed the terrain of love, war, beauty, politics and ethics. Hazzard's oeuvre effortlessly reflects and represents the author's life and times, encapsulating the prominent feelings, anxieties and questions of the second half of the 20th century. It is these qualities, along with Hazzard's lyrical style that place her among the most noteworthy Australian writers of the 20th century.

Best known for her short story "The Lottery" and her novel The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley Jackson produced a body of work that is more varied and complex than critics have realized. In fact, as Darryl Hattenhauer argues here, Jackson was one of the few writers to anticipate the transition from modernism to postmodernism, and therefore ranks among the most significant writers of her time. The first comprehensive study of all of Jackson's fiction, Shirley Jackson's American Gothic offers readers the chance not only to rediscover her work, but also to see how and why a major American writer was passed over for inclusion in the canon of American literature.

William Gilmore Simms's (1806-1870) body of work, a sweeping fictional portrait of the colonial and antebellum South in all its regional diversity, with its literary and intellectual issues, is probably more comprehensive than any other nineteenth-century southern author. Simms's career began with a short novel, Martin Faber, published in 1833. This Gothic tale is reminiscent of James Hogg's Confessions of a Sinner and was written four years before Edgar Allan Poe's "William Wilson." Narrated in the first person, it is considered a pioneering examination of criminal psychology. Martin seduces

"The Kinsey Collection is one of the preeminent private collections of African American art and history in the world today. The collection spans five-hundred years of African American intellectual and artistic impacts, and shifts the memory of African American history from victimhood to an emphasis of social and cultural achievement. Through selected pieces in The Kinsey Collection, Rethinking America's Past: Voices from the Kinsey African American Art and History Collection explains how African Americans have influenced the course of history and art through aesthetic, intellectual, and political innovation. Together, the contributors exemplify the role of memory and bring to light prominent figures of African American history, not yet fully appreciated for their contributions. These essays encourage a deeper understanding of creative ways of resisting and contributing, which African Americans have shown consistently throughout U.S. history. To date, the collection has exhibited in twenty-four major art and history museums around the country including the Norton Museum of Art, The Smithsonian, The DuSable Museum and the Underground Railroad Museum"
