This book explores core issues in the emerging field of World Anglophone Studies. It shows that traditional frameworks based on the colonial and imperial legacies of English need to be revised and extended to understand the complex adaptations, iterations, and incarnations of English in the contemporary world.

Rena Jackson's 'The Imperial World-System and Cultures of Dissent in Thomas Hardy’s Fiction' is an academic analysis of Thomas Hardy's literary work within the context of world literature and historical capitalist modernity. The book explores how Hardy's fiction reflects the global expansion of modern social forms and the distinct modes of existence that arise from this historical process. It emphasizes the intersection of imperialism and cultural dissent, examining Hardy's novels and short stories for their registration of these themes. This work, originally developed as a doctoral thesis, is expanded to include a comparative analysis with other metropolitan writers, integrating recent findings from world literature studies and world-systems analysis. The book is intended for scholars and students interested in literary criticism, postcolonial studies, and Thomas Hardy’s contributions to literature.

This cross-disciplinary study combines postcolonial, mountain, and tourism studies to explore how meaning about mountains is articulated, generated, asserted and contested within the global circuits of mountain tourism. Rewriting Alpine Orientalism is an open access book that explores how meaning about mountains is articulated, generated, asserted and contested within the global circuits of mountain tourism. Tracing Orientalist and colonial legacies in the project of mountain travel across times, genres and geographies, this book presents a framework capable of analysing and critiquing both particular colonial codifications written onto mountains and the interventions that rewrite mountain tourism. This comparative study bridges the gap between literary and cultural studies and the social and natural sciences with interdisciplinary research across fields such as travel writing, mountain literature, mountaineering history, and ecocriticism, and postcolonial, tourism and gender studies. Eva-Maria M ller examines Orientalist discourse through a wide range of historical and contemporary mountain texts such as exploration reports, newspaper articles, guidebooks, diaries, letters and contemporary works of fiction from Angie Abdou, Thomas Wharton, Elfriede Jelinek and Felix Mitterer in a study that enhances our understanding of the role of representation in changing the social real of alpine spaces.
