Abstract

Challenges the myths about apathy and smugness surrounding British literature of the period. Alice Ferrebe's lively study rereads the decade and its literature as crucial in twentieth-century British history for its emergent and increasingly complicated politics of difference, as ideas about identity, authority and belonging were tested and contested. By placing a diverse selection of texts alongside those of the established canon of Movement and 'Angry' writing, a literary culture of true diversity and depth is brought into view. The volume characterises the 1950s as a time of confrontation w

Abstract

Gender is een zeer aanwezige topic in het vak Engelse taal en literatuurwetenschap aan Britse universiteiten. Of het nu gaat over poëzie, teksten van Shakespeare of een cursus creatief schrijven het thema gender komt vroeg of laat op de proppen. In deze bundeling essays schrijven docenten Engelse literatuur over hun ervaringen met het doceren van gender in hun vakgebied. Over gender als theoretisch concept is al veel geschreven maar over de pedagogische implicaties voor het vakgebied Engelse taal en literatuur minder. De bijdragen beperken zich niet alleen tot de Britse universiteiten, met bijdragen over China en Turkije kijken de samenstellers over de grenzen heen.

Abstract

This edited collection provides a critical forum for scholars to examine the evolution of queer kinship—encompassing the wide range of relationships, both biological and nonbiological, that queer individuals choose (or are compelled) to establish—through its representation in literature over time and across cultural contexts. In particular, the ten essays in this collection utilize close readings, philosophy, and theory to address the following question: How can we conceptualize the nature of queer kinship based on its textual representations? To this end, the essays engage with a diverse array of texts, from Buddhist writing to contemporary song lyrics, French literature from the 17th and 18th centuries to contemporary drama and novels from Sweden, Israel, and the Anglosphere. This broad temporal and geographic scope yields new critical insights into the varied ontologies of queer kinship and highlights the inherent paradoxes and fundamental messiness in queer kinship formations across different times, spaces, and contexts. In doing so, the collection makes a significant and timely contribution to the fields of kinship studies, queer studies, and comparative literature. Anchit Sathi retired in 2019, but still keeps himself busy as an independent scholar of comparative literature. Anchit has taught and supervised both undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Potsdam and at the University of Washington in Seattle, and his work has been published in journals such as Textual Practice, German Life and Letters, Monatshefte, Comparative Critical Studies and Sprachkunst. His research interests include world literature, 20th and 21st century writing, trauma studies, and queer theory. Alice Ferrebe has led departments of literature at universities in both the UK and China, and is currently an Associate Professor, and Head of Academic Skills, at the University of Chester, UK. She has published extensively on literary gender and mid-twentieth century British literature and culture, including two monographs, Literature of the 1950s: Good, Brave Causes, Edinburgh History of Twentieth-Century Literature in Britain (2012) and Masculinity in Male-Authored Fiction 1950-2000 (2005). She is working on a study of the British novelist Elizabeth Taylor, subtitled “Art and Labour”.

Abstract

The Edinburgh Companion to Contemporary Scottish Literature examines the ways in which the cultural and political role of Scottish writing has changed since the country's successful referendum on national self-rule in 1997. In doing so, it makes a convincing case for a distinctive post-devolution Scottish criticism. Introducing over forty original essays under four main headings - 'Contexts', 'Genres', 'Authors' and 'Topics' - the volume covers the entire spectrum of current interests and topical concerns in the field of Scottish studies and heralds a new era in Scottish writing, literary crit
