Sandscapes: Writing the British Seaside reflects on the unique topography of sand, sandscapes, and the seaside in British culture and beyond. This book brings together creative and critical writings that explore the ways sand speaks to us of holidays and respite, but also of time and mortality, of plenitude and eternity. Drawing together writers from a range of backgrounds, the volume explores the environmental, social, personal, cultural, and political significance of sand and the seaside towns that have built up around it. The contributions take a variety of forms including fiction and nonfiction and cover topics ranging from sand dunes to sand mining, from seaside stories to shoreline architecture, from sand grains to global sand movements, from narratives of the setting up of bed and breakfasts to stories of seaside decline. Often a symbol of aridity, sand is revealed in this book to be an astonishingly fertile site for cultural meaning.

“Anticipatory Materialisms is a timely interdisciplinary collection that draws together ethics, politics and poetics to reimagine and interrogate human precedence in the material world. It presents both a profound and provocative engagement with literature and philosophy to assert the general interdependence of all matter in the natural world.” —Lesa Scholl, author of Hunger Movements in Early Victorian Literature Anticipatory Materialisms explores nineteenth and early twentieth-century literature that pre-empts the recent philosophical ‘turn’ to materiality and affect. Critical volumes that approach literature via the prism of new materialism are in the ascendence. This collection stakes a different claim: by engaging with neglected theories of materiality in literary and philosophical works that antedate the twentyfirst century ‘turn’ to new materialism and theories of affect, the project aims to establish a dialogue between recent and earlier conceptualisations of people-world relations. The essays collected here demonstrate the particular and meaningful ways in which interactions between people and the physical world were being considered in literature between the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book does not propose an air of finality; indeed, it is our hope that by offering provocative and challenging chapters, which approach the subject from various critical and thematic perspectives, the collection will establish a broader dialogue regarding the ways philosophy and literature have intersected and informed each other over the course of the long nineteenth century. Jo Carruthers teaches English Literature at Lancaster University and has published widely in the areas of literary studies, aesthetics, and religious and national identities.

Rebecca Spence is an AHRC-funded PhD candidate and associate lecturer in the Department of English and Creative Writing at Lancaster University.
