CONTEMPORARY SPANISH POETRY | The Word and the World | Edited by CECILE WEST-SETTLE and SYLVIA SHERNO | The essays in this volume honor the contributions of Andrew P. Debicki to the field of poetry criticism. They are dedicated to various aspects of Spanish lyric poetry from the post-Civil War period to the voices of the most recent Spanish poets. The essays are tied by a unifying principle: poetry's impulse to create a self-contained reality, and the competing impulse to remain vitally connected to the world. Cecile West-Settle teaches in the Department of Romance Languages at Washington and Lee University. Sylvia Sherno is a lecturer in the UCLA Department of Spanish and Portuguese. | PUBLISHED	ISBN 0-8386-4040-0	$47.50
DANCING IN THE DARK | Reflections on the Problem of Theodicy | By ERIC CARLTON | This book examines the vexed problem of theodicy and critically considers the various responses that it has evoked. These range from conventional theological/philosophical responses to those posed by the social and physical sciences. These, in turn, involve arguments about determinism and free will in relation to what is seen as natural and moral evil. Underlying this whole issue is the question of religious belief and how the individual comes to terms with the vicissitudes of life.

EURABIA | The Euro-Arab Axis | By BAT YE'OR | This book is about the transformation of Europe into "Eurabia," a cultural and political appendage of the Arab-Muslim world. Eurabia is fundamentally anti-Christian, anti-Western, anti-American, and antisemitic, while striving for Israel's disappearance and the vilification and isolation of America. It presents a wide range of historical and contemporary documents and facts to tell how the European Union is being subverted by Islamic hostility to the very ethics and values of Europe itself. The institution responsible for this transformation, and that continues to propagate its ideological message, is the Euro-Arab Dialogue, developed by European and Arab politicians and intellectuals over the past thirty years. Readers who seek a fair resolution of the Arab-Israel conflict will be shocked by the evidence produced in these pages of unfair pressures and deliberate distortion. Europe's independence of spirit is shown in the process of being undermined. Bat Ye'or is an independent scholar and author of three best-selling books on relations between Muslims and non-Muslims. | PUBLISHED	ISBN 0-8386-4076-1	$49.50 (cloth) | PUBLISHED	ISBN 0-8386-4077-X	$23.95 (paper)
FRANCIS RAWDON-HASTINGS, MARQUESS OF HASTINGS | Soldier, Peer of the Realm, Governor-General of India | By PAUL DAVID NELSON | Francis Rawdon-Hastings, 1st Marquess of Hastings and 2nd earl of Moira, was an important figure in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British history. Product of an aristocratic background, he led a multifaceted life as a soldier, member of the House of Lords, and governor-general of India. Of the three, he was most interested in the military, and (correctly) felt himself to the most temperamentally and intellectually suited to the profession of arms. He served in the American war from its outbreak in 1775 until illness forced him home in the summer of 1781. During this time he made a distinguished record for himself, both as a young subordinate officer and an independent commander in South Carolina in 1780–81. Later in India, he successfully prosecuted a number of wars to expand and consolidate British power in the subcontinent. After a career of thirty years in the House of Lords, he went to serve for a decade as governor-general of India.

GEORGE ELIOT U.S. | Transatlantic Literary and Cultural Perspectives | By MONIKA MUELLER | George Eliot U.S. demonstrates the complex and reciprocal relationship between George Eliot's fiction and the writings of her major American contemporaries, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The book also traces Eliot's influence on subsequent American fiction. The introductory section raises methodological questions concerning influence and intertextuality and addresses the mutual reception of European and American social and cultural discourses in order to illuminate culturally motivated divergences and convergences in the authors' presentation of gender, race, and national and ethnic alterity. The book's main body discusses Eliot's and the American writers' depiction of domestic social discourses on gender, religion, and community, and analyzes their depiction of the cultural alterity of Italy. It also focuses on Eliot's and Stowe's different attitudes toward race (and nation building), and discusses the parallels between the kabbalistic passages of Daniel Deronda and American transcendentalist thought. The study concludes by tracing Eliot's influence on the conception of gender and social life in works by later writers such as Cynthia Ozick and John Irving.

MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE DRAMA IN ENGLAND | VOLUME 17 | Edited by JOHN PITCHER and S. P. CERASANO | Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England is an international volume published every year in a hardcover edition. Volume 17 is specially commissioned to celebrate the scholarship and career of Leeds Barroll, the journal's founding editor. Its contents mirror Barroll's many contributions to the study of Shakespeare, the drama, and royal and aristocratic patronage in early modern England. The contributors honor Barroll with what they have discovered in the archives (a black African in an English lawsuit, a school for girls in early modern Windsor, the provenance of the play, The Telltale) or found out about individual lives and circumstances (the little known William Appowell, Priest, as well as Henslowe, Daniel, and Lord Chancellor Egerton, together with King James's tastes in tapestries). There are also studies of King Lear, of its progenitor King Leir, of Desdemona's courage, and of Shakespeare's dealings with the Chamberlain's Men in 1598. An account of the English history play at the end of the sixteenth century is complemented by a close examination of the Rose Rage productions of Shakespeare's histories at the end of the twentieth century. John Pitcher is a Fellow and Tutor in English at St John's College, Oxford. S. P. Cerasano is the Edgar W. B.

NARRATIVE FISSURES | Reading and Rhetoric | By NITA SCHECHET | Narrative Fissures: Reading and Rhetoric is a guide to applied rhetorical criticism of narrative in diverse fields such as cultural studies, ethnography, psychotherapy, historiography, critical legal studies, education, communication, and medicine. It offers an interdisciplinary toolbox for reading and writing by mapping textual sites as fissures, points of entry for critical reading. These fissures range from short phrases analyzed in the introduction to the fissures of prefacing, framing, textual voices, and narrative time discussed in relation to individual texts. It then shifts perspective to look at writing, exploring ethnography through the concept of fissures in order to suggest methods and uses for reflectively reflexive writing in diverse fields. The critical reading skills surveyed are then translated into writing strategies rebalancing the narrative hierarchies of traditional author-informant-reader relations. The final section of the book considers the ethical implications of narrative choices through focus on a single key fissure, narrative resolution. In its structure of progressively tentative considerations of reading, writing, and ethics, Narrative Fissures is also rhetorically self-reflexive, enacting, together with its reader, applications and implications of contemporary thought on narrative. Nita Schechet is a lecturer at the David Yellin College of Education and at the Hebrew University. | PUBLISHED	ISBN 0-8386-4057-5	$37.50
REPRESENTING DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES | Cultural Memory and Fairy Tales Revisited | By COLLEEN DENNEY | In this well-illustrated text, Denney asserts that the artists who image Diana, Princess of Wales, have framed her according to a cultural memory based on traditions of royal portraiture and according to twentieth-century reassertions (that is, reframings) of the debate over feminism and femininity in visual culture. Art historians and literary critics have examined the visual culture of Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Elizabeth II, and more recently, images of women in the court of Charles II, but no one has addressed before now the impact of imaging Diana, Princess of Wales at a time in British culture when feminism and femininity collide. Denney critiques art historical traditions of portraiture in order to argue that a princess must perform a constructed role of femininity, one that corresponds to Victorian codes of royal protocol, visual practice, and behavior. The book encompasses themes of marriage, motherhood, philanthropy, royal dress, and autobiography. It contains more than 100 black-and-white photographs, as well as six color photographs. Colleen Denney is an Associate Professor of Art History and Women's Studies at the University of Wyoming. | PUBLISHED	ISBN 0-8386-4023-0	$55.00
RISORGIMENTO IN MODERN ITALIAN CULTURE | Revisiting the Nineteenth-Century Past in History, Narrative, and Cinema | Edited by NORMA BOUCHARD | This volume examines cultural responses to the Risorgimento from the post-World War II era to the present. The first section of the book is devoted to an examination of the current work of Risorgimento historians, while the balance is allocated to describe the use of the nineteenth-century past in modern narratives, including film and especially the novel, since this is a genre that historically has occupied a unique position in defining the Italian nation and its people. The book includes essays on Tomasi de Lampedusa, Vincenzo Consolo, Anna Banti, and Antonio Tabucchi.

SI;aa PERO NO | Fabián Dobles and the Postcolonial Challenge | By ANN B. GONZÁLEZ | This study analyzes the narrative corpus of Costa Rican writer Fabián Dobles (1918–1997) from a postcolonial perspective. Generally considered a realist, Dobles is a foundational writer in terms of Costa Rican literary history and a major participant in the discourse on national self-definition. The goal of Dobles' fiction is to articulate a national identity, to speak about and to "his" people. One of the arguments in this study is that Dobles' language is anything but authentic. He carefully constructs a hybridized Spanish from the Costa Rican vernacular and oral tradition that actively subverts standard Spanish and neocolonial ways of seeing and knowing. In so doing, he offers a unique alternative to the binary opposition of "sÀ1À and no" with the peculiarly Costa Rican concept of "sÀ1À pero no." Both his double-voiced language and his textual representations of the Costa Rican "campesino," the colonized Other, combine to challenge dominant neocolonial and patriarchal structures. Ann B. González is an Associate Professor at the University of North Carolina Charlotte. | PUBLISHED	ISBN 0-8386-4051-6	$42.50
STRUGGLE OVER THE MODERN | Purity and Experience in American Art Criticism, 1900–1960 | By DENNIS RAVERTY | Examination of the primary sources reveals an all but forgotten critical battle between opposing camps in American art criticism that appeared and reappeared throughout the first half of the twentieth century. This is not the familiar war between the academics and the moderns, but was a struggle within the avant-garde. It was a battle for the very soul of modern art. This was a struggle over the very terms and limits appropriate to art, a competition to define art either narrowly as a formalistic self-referential endeavor, or broadly delineating the boundaries between art and experience in a more inclusive manner that has its roots in the philosophy of American Pragmatism. The purpose of this book is to lay bare and deconstruct both the formalist and the experiential strategies as strategies, tracing their development over time and thereby restoring to the era dimensions of its polemics on their own terms.

TRACKING THOREAU | Double-Crossing Nature and Technology | By JOHN DOLIS | Tracking Thoreau explores the constellation of three central issues in Thoreau's oeuvre: nature, culture, and technology. The author reads Thoreau's major works as principally concerned with the composition of the self through writing, through narration, an activity inextricably bound up with the apprehension of structures common to both nature and culture, structures which, in turn, unavoidably implicate style—that is, technique. As did the ancient Greeks, Thoreau understands technology as a defining moment for not only culture, but nature as well, that inaugural act in light of which each is able to appear in the first place. Technology is always already in place at the beginning of "things": it occupies the site of subjectivity. Arguing against the most recent trend in Thoreau studies, Dolis contends that, for Thoreau, nature is primordially a construct; it cannot be understood apart from language, through cultural constructions, techniques by means of which the subject composes the object. Both "nature" and the very "nature of nature" itself are subject to the single configuration. Subjectivity, in turn, entails its own technology, its style. It figures out both nature and the composition of its self as well. John Dolis is Associate Professor of English at Pennsylvania State University, Scranton. | PUBLISHED	ISBN 0-8386-4045-1	$46.50
SADIAN REFLECTIONS | By YOAV RINON | Sadian Reflections offers an interpretation of the oeuvre of the Marquis de Sade. The book discusses diverse aspects of Sade's writing and sketches the connection between Sadian philosophy and Sadian narration in the Marquis's fiction. Topics include the role of the gaze in Sade's works, the function of food in his corpus, the Marquis's attitude toward homosexuality and lesbianism, and the role of women in his world.

SHAKESPEARE ADAPTATIONS FROM THE RESTORATION | Five Plays | Edited by BARBARA A. MURRAY | Between 1660 and 1682 seventeen of Shakespeare's plays were altered for the new Restoration stages and times. Shakespeare Adaptations from the Restoration: Five Plays now publishes five of these plays for the first time in a critical edition. The Introduction begins with an account of the events that led from civil war to the Restoration, the nature of Restoration stages, and the fate of Shakespeare on them, and is designed for those less familiar with these topics. This is followed by a critical account of the plays, setting each in the context of contemporary political events, and (with the notes) offering suggestions about staging. With the texts the broad editorial intention has been to present clear and consistent versions in which spelling and punctuation, as well as contemporary printing conventions, have been interfered with as little as possible. Endnotes gloss unfamiliar words, phrases, and references, and include a brief account of the plays' source materials, critical history, and stage history. Barbara A. Murray is a senior lecturer at St. Andrews in Scotland. | AUGUST 2005	ISBN 0-8386-4056-7	$50.00
MEYERBEER STUDIES | A Series of Lectures, Essays, and Articles | By ROBERT IGNATIUS LETELLIER | Who was Giacomo Meyerbeer? An artist, and one of great abilities, one whose operas were once played around the world. So how could one of the most famous of composers have fallen into obscurity and opprobrium? What was he like? What is his music like? Does it have anything to say to us today? These are a few of the questions this collection of essays seeks to address. Written over a period of thirty years, these studies cover biographical, analytical, and comparative aspects of the composer's life and works, providing on the one hand a basic introduction, endeavoring on the other to see in detail into his life through his private papers. They examine his operas as musical and literary constructs in themselves, his life and works in the wider context of his times, and his personal and artistic relations with some of his immediate composer contemporaries in Paris, the operatic center of the world in the mid-nineteenth century. Illustrated. Robert Ignatius Letellier is a member of Trinity College, the Salzburg Centre for Research in the Early English Novel, the Maryvale Institute, and the Institute for Continuing Education at Madingley Hall. | SEPTEMBER 2005	ISBN 0-8386-4063-X	$47.50
SOUTH JERSEY UNDER THE STARS | Essays on Culture, Agriculture, and Place | By ALLISON HAYES-CONROY | This book examines how culture in South Jersey relates to agriculture and landscape in the region. Recognizing culture as the central force of social, economic, and ecological change, it looks at how communities might push themselves towards cultures that are more reflective of agricultural and ecological rhythms. The writing is best described as a reflection of the humanistic side of the social sciences, in the tradition of works like Robert Bellah's Habits of the Heart. The book is about re-embedding the culture of Southern New Jersey in the agriculture and ecology of the region and stresses that doing so involves not only looking at the lives of family farmers and the work of environmentalists or local naturalists but also at the arts, architecture, history, philosophy, and religion. The book's four main essays, which focus on farms, suburbs, capitals, and celebrations, create an effective model for the local application of the ever-negotiated principles of ecological thought. Together they offer direction as to how we might begin to embed our social systems in the natural systems that surround us. Illustrated.

THE LIFE AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF SIR JOHN POPHAM, 1531–1607 | Leading to the Establishment of the First English Colony in New England | By DOUGLAS WALTHEW RICE | This is the first full-length biography of a pillar of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean state. A devoted servant of the Queen, Popham played a prominent part as her Attorney-General and Lord Chief Justice in the famous trials of Essex and Ralegh. He condemned to death the Gunpowder Plotters, and acquired a reputation as a severe judge. Enterprising and practical, he promoted attempts to settle Englishmen in Ireland and to drain the Fens of Cambridgeshire. Popham's final achievement was to establish the Virginia Company and send out an expedition that set afoot the first English colony in New England. Sir John was not only important but also notorious, becoming a legendary bogeyman in popular imagination. Accounts written hitherto have focused on that aspect, but this book aims to give a balanced account, giving credit to Popham as a visionary statesman and creative entrepreneur at the very center of English government.

LOVE NOTES AND LETTERS and THE LETTER CASE | By MARIE-CATHERINE DESJARDINS (MADAME DE VILLEDIEU) | Translated and Edited by ROXANNE DECKER LALANDE | An anonymous collection of authentic love letters, entitled Lettres et billets galants, was published by Claude Barbin in 1668, sparking public interest in the identity of the author. It soon became known that the writer was the immensely popular novelist Marie-Catherine Desjardins, and that her intimate letters to her lover Antoine de Villedieu, whose name she would later appropriate as her nom de plume, had been sold by him to Barbin and published against her wishes. After 1668 Villedieu's authorial stance shifts markedly, as she attempts to regain control over her literary production through fictionalized "reverse" reenactments of this betrayal. Contemporary feminist critics agree on the pivotal importance of Lettres et billets galants to the interpretation of the author's later writings, including Les Mémoires de la vie de Henriette-Sylvie de Molière (1672-1674) and Les Désordres de l'amour (1675). One of her last works, entitled Le Portefeuille (1674), is an epistolary novella in which she explores many of the aesthetic and ethical facets of letter writing and reception. Its close ties to the publication of her authentic correspondence causes its inclusion in this volume. Roxanne Decker Lalande is Professor of French at Lafayette College. | OCTOBER 2005	ISBN 0-8386-4070-2	$36.00

SEXUALITY, GENDER, AND POWER IN IRIS MURDOCH'S FICTION | By TAMMY GRIMSHAW | This book examines the depiction of the social construction of male homosexuality, lesbianism, and women's role in The Bell, A Fairly Honourable Defeat, An Accidental Man, The Philosopher's Pupil, and The Green Knight. It also explores the representation of power dynamics in the portrayal of homosexuality in Murdoch's fiction and takes a detailed look at the illustration of power-knowledge vis-à-vis incest in A Severed Head and The Time of the Angels. Murdoch's representation of Platonic "bisexuality" in Henry and Cato and The Book and the Brotherhood is examined in depth, and is followed by an analysis of the representation of transvestism in The Philosopher's Pupil, The Green Knight, and The Black Prince. The study finds that it is generally difficult to classify the genders and sexualities to Murdoch's characters, and that Murdoch's narrative style also evades classification under traditional rubrics of gender or artistic achievement. Tammy Grimshaw teaches at the University of Leeds. | NOVEMBER 2005	ISBN 0-8386-4061-3	$47.50
A STUDIO OF ONE'S OWN | Fictional Women Painters and the Art of Fiction | By ROBERTA WHITE | This book traces the portrayal of women artists in nineteenth- and twentieth-century novels in English, including women writers of England, the United States, Ireland, and Canada. It interprets the implied dialogues of the authors with the painters depicted in their novels in order to discover the writers' views of women's creativity in both its aesthetic and feminist dimensions. In particular, it develops a theoretical idea of women's art as liminal and unfinished, positive terms that describe certain remarkable continuities in the ways in which women writers depict their sister artists. The chapter on Virginia Woolf is pivotal because Woolf presents in Lily Briscoe a self-aware, theorizing woman painter. Later writers reveal the pervasive influence of Woolf's portrait of the artist, while giving unique twists and turns to the aesthetic and political questions that Woolf raises. Roberta White is the Charles J. Luellen Professor Emerita of English at Centre College. | NOVEMBER 2005	ISBN 0-8386-4072-9	$46.50
THE PLAYS AND POEMS OF WILLIAM HEMINGE | Edited by CAROL A. MORLEY | This is the first edition of the complete works of William Heminge (1602–c. 1653). It offers a biography of Heminge (son of Shakespeare's colleague John Heminge), texts of his two surviving tragedies, and the small group of poems assigned to him in contemporary manuscripts. The commentaries investigate Heminge's historical sources and theatrical techniques, the stage history and afterlife of the plays, and the provenance of the manuscripts containing his poems. Heminge's literary debt to Shakespeare and reputation as a Shakespearean plagiarist are also investigated. The Jewes Tragedy is examined in the contact of contemporary Roman dramas and representations of Jews on stage. Three early modern analogues to Heminge's narrative of the Fall of the Temple are also discussed. The Fatal Contract is an important addition to our understanding of the revenge tragedy tradition, given its unprecedented focus on a female avenger. Contemporary portrayals of cross-dressed women, Africans, and eunuchs are examined to give context to Heminge's greatest innovation. Carol A. Morley is tutor on the MA in Theatre and Performance Studies at Rose Bruford College, Kent. | DECEMBER 2005	ISBN 0-8386-4039-7	$85.00
APART FROM MODERNISM | Edith Wharton, Politics, and Fiction before World War I | By ROBIN PEEL | Edith Wharton enjoyed a complex relationship with early modernism. Her love of French literature and her close relationship with Henry James made her open to experiment as a writer and committed to the seriousness of novel writing as an art. She enjoyed enormous success with The House of Mirth and the public clearly wanted more from her in this style. The novel's Naturalism and didactic purpose conformed to her own belief in the moral purpose of literature, so that Wharton's reading of politics, culture, and society led her to abandon modernistic experiment for ethical, rather than aesthetic reasons. Apart from Modernism explores the political and cultural influences that helped shape Edith Wharton, and discusses such subjects as her relationship to bohemianism, modernist experiment, her politics, and her idea of the good society through a discussion of her fiction 1900–1915, starting with an exploration of the early novellas and novels such as The Valley of Decision, The House of Mirth, and The Fruit of the Tree, before concentrating in detail on the years that saw the publication of The Reef, Ethan Frome, and The Custom of the Country. Important issues such as Wharton's reading of gender, Empire, and class form a central part of this discussion.

APOSTLE TO THE WILDERNESS | Bishop John Medley and the Evolution of the Anglican Church | By BARRY CRAIG | This book describes the life and work of John Medley, the first member of the Oxford Movement to be consecrated bishop. As an experiment, W. E. Gladstone, future Prime Minister of England and keen churchman, arranged in 1844 to have a member of this controversial group appointed to the Episcopal bench. Because those associated with this movement were suspected of Roman Catholic theological leanings and perhaps even disloyalty to the English Establishment, such a move was politically and ecclesiastically dangerous in England. So Medley was sent to the colonies. Intended to establish High Churchmanship and the British Empire in the soil of the new world, Medley became convinced, over this forty-seven-year episcopate, that the American model of the church was more practical than the British. He eventually forged an identity for his diocese that was, in many ways, to be the pattern for the modern worldwide Anglican Church.

CHAUCER'S AGENTS | Cause and Representation in Chaucerian Narrative | By CAROLYNN VAN DYKE | Critical disagreements about Chaucer arise from divergent assumptions about who or what determines his narratives: lifelike characters, doctrinal principles, the cycles of history, material conditions, the prototypical subject, the reader, even the text itself. Chaucer's Agents shifts our focus from particular kinds of cause to the representation of cause itself—that is, to agency. Using modern theories from various disciplines, Van Dyke analyzes agency with particular reference to narrative. She then argues that Chaucer's career intersects with crises in political, metaphysical, and authorial agency. In successive chapters, she explores various kinds of Chaucerian agents: allegorical Realities, intelligent animals, pagan gods, women (as religious exemplars and as subversive subjects), and the author. Each chapter surveys medieval conceptions of the agency in question and then follows that kind of agent through representative Chaucerian texts, showing how Chaucer's answers to questions about causation shape, and even constitute, his narratives. Carolynn Van Dyke is Francis A. March Professor of English at Lafayette College. | 2006	ISBN 0-8386-4083-4	$55.00
CYTHERA REGAINED? | The Rococo Revival in European Literature and the Arts, 1830–1910 | By KEN IRELAND | This is the first comprehensive study of the Rococo revival in nineteenth-century European literature and the arts, and examines developments in France and Germany, England and Austria, as well as contributions from America and Russia. The first half of the book comprises a thematic account of literary examples of the Rococo revival organized into perceptual modes: theatrical, oriental, pastoral, and musical. The second half is chronological, tracing shifts in cultural ambience between 1830 and 1910 in twenty-year stages, dealing with different types of phenomena: critical perspectives, decorative arts, painting, music, and literature. All readers drawn to the literature, arts, and culture of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, and especially to period styles and interartistic relations, will be engaged by this study, which also includes sixty-nine illustrations.

FROM TELEVISION TO THE INTERNET | Postmodern Visions of American Media Culture in the Twentieth Century | By WILEY LEE UMPHLETT | This book complements and expands on the commentary and conclusions of the author's initial inquiry into the modern era of media-made culture in The Visual Focus of American Media Culture in the Twentieth Century (FDUP, 2004). From the 1890s on to the 1920s and the Depression and World War II years, society's pervasively communal focus demanded idealized images and romanticized interpretations of life. But the communal imperative, as it was impacted on by evolving social change, harbored the seeds of its own disintegration. The sociocultural uprooting of another world war, the anxieties attendant to the Atomic Age, and two later sociopolitically divisive military conflicts culminated in the societal upheavals of the 1960s and an increasingly problematic and socially fragmented nation. As Visual Focus did, this second book also relies on the visual metaphor of the mediated vision to show how the visually oriented communication forms of the media culture have influenced and contributed to the origin of varied subcultural sectors in the postmodern era, extending from the appearance of television in the late 1940s to the advent of the Internet near the end of the twentieth century.

The fierce political stances of this important dramatist have been embodied in plays, screenplays, and his career as a theatrical director. Traditionally associated with absurdism, minimalism, and the dramatization of uncertainty, Pinter's name is now a byword for anti-authoritarian and anti-American politics. This transition has been in evidence from the earliest phases of his writing; all of Pinter's work emerges from his political views. His uniqueness as a political artist is that he is pessimistic about changing his audience or making it see its complicity in the horrors of the modern world. These horrors are dramatized through images of torture and oppression culminating in moments of silence that index the full extent of the destruction unleashed by the forces of power against dissidence. Charles Grimes is Assistant Professor of English and Theater at St. Leo University. | 2006	ISBN 0-8386-4050-8	$49.50
MEMORIOUS DISCOURSE | Reprise and Representation in Postmodernism | By CHRISTIAN MORARU | This book zeroes in on postmodern representation, which the author defines (with a wink at Borges's "Funes the Memorious") as "memorious discourse." This wide-ranging discussion of contemporary writers and theorists from Nabokov and DeLillo to Lévinas and Derrida argues that postmodern representation "remembers" and recyles former representations, and draws a picture that latches onto other pictures to bring its object to life. Memorious Discourse identifies five areas in recent theory and fiction where the problems of postmodern representation come to light forcefully: the postmodern memoir and "personal" literature broadly, the use of names, the "posthuman," the issue of "reality" and the complex bearings of postmodern ontology. and the sublime's "revival." Christian Moraru is Associate Professor of English at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. | 2006	ISBN 0-8386-4086-9	$52.50

RABBIT (UN)REDEEMED | The Drama of Belief in John Updike's Fiction | By PETER J. BAILEY | This book approaches Updike's oeuvre by illuminating its ongoing, pervasive conflict between faith and doubt. Concentrating on a trio of Olinger stories, the Rabbit Angstrom tetralogy, In the Beauty of the Lilies, and "Rabbit Remembered" and dramatizing most emphatically Updike's career-spanning dialogue with his complexly fragile religious beliefs, Bailey interprets the Rabbit saga as fictionalized spiritual autobiography in which, through imposing Harry Angstrom's perceptual limitations upon his own stylistic gifts, Updike set himself the toughest trial of his ethical and aesthetic creed of the spirit-affirming capacities of human perception and expression. Between his aspirations to creating a fiction emulative of patterns of transcendent meaning and his apprehension that Howellsian realism is all that he can achieve in prose, Updike has created, and Bailey has documented, one of the preeminent dramas of contemporary American culture and fiction—a literary engagement of the post-Christian with the postmodern. Peter J. Bailey is Professor of English at St. Lawrence University. | 2006	ISBN 0-8386-4053-2	$52.50
SELFISH GIFTS | The Politics of Exchange and English Courtly Literature, 1580–1628 | By ALISON V. SCOTT | The impact of any gift is heightened when it appears not to expect a counter-gift or a reward. Within the patronage systems of early modern England, the language of altruism, drawing upon Seneca's model of benefits, was a paradoxical but pivotal means of persuasion used by literary clients seeking recompense for their labors and by patrons seeking to present themselves as noble givers. Selfish Gifts investigates the relationship among gift-exchange practices, ideal cultural models of giving, and literary representations of gift giving at the late Elizabethan and early Stuart courts, demonstrating the centrality of gift-theory to the patronage literature and culture of the times. With a particular focus on the interplay between gender politics, power, and giving, the book offers new readings of canonical texts by Shakespeare, Jonson, Donne, and Daniel, and combines these with fresh work on lesser-read texts by canonical and non-canonical writers alike. Alison V. Scott teaches at Macquarie University. | 2006	ISBN 0-8386-4082-6	$48.50
SOCIAL AND VIRTUAL SPACE | Science Fiction, Transnationalism, and the American New Right | By LAURA CHERNAIK | This volume is a material and semiotic study of transnationalsim, analyzed in terms of race, class, gender, and sexuality. The objects of analysis range from the aftermath of the U.S.-led war in Iraq, to science fiction by Pat Cadigan, CJ Cherryh, and Samuel Delaney, to material-semiotic feminist theory by Donna Harraway, to the neo-Marxist historical geography of Mike Davis and David Harvey. The book is centrally concerned with the social and cultural change brought about by the rise of the new social movements in the United States, such as the women's movement and the lesbian, gay, queer, and transgendered movements, and the backlash by the American new right against this change. Ethical and political concerns are central to the arguments, which is framed in terms of Emmanuel Levinas's notion of radical, non-reciprocal responsibility. Laura Chernaik is a free-lance writer. | 2006	ISBN 0-8386-4069-9	$27.50
THE TARGET | Alain Robbe-Grillet, Jasper Johns | By BEN STOLTZFUS | The Target is an interarts study of Pop art and metafiction. It highlights the relationship between Alain Robbe-Grillet, an internationally acclaimed French new novelist and cinematographer, and Jasper Johns, an internationally renowned artist. Robbe-Grillet wrote "The Target," an introduction to the catalog for the Johns 1978 exhibition in Paris—an introduction in the guise of fiction—that was generated by the works in the show. Fifty-six of the works illustrate the translation of Robbe-Grillet's narrative. Eight additional illustrations in color accompany the essay that analyzes Johns's targets and numbers and Robbe-Grillet's "target." The accompanying essay addresses topics such as self-reflexivity, topologies, chaos theory, and the social function of art. The book shows how Johns's targets and Robbe-Grillet's writing subvert social codes and the observer's expectations in order to produce new and unexpected perceptions of reality. Illustrated. Ben Stoltzfus is a retired professor of Comparative Literature and Creative Writing from the University of California, Riverside. | 2006	ISBN 0-8386-4084-2	$45.00
WILLAM BABCOCK HAZEN | The Best Hated Man | By EDWARD S. COOPER | At West Point William Babcock Hazen made a life-long enemy of Custer by arresting him, and during the Civil War he made enemies of Rosecrans and Sheridan. After the war Grant came to hate him. These men accused Hazen of stealing, of cowardice in the face of the enemy, of causing the loss at Chickamauga, of being a dupe of the Indians, and they banished him to Fort Buford in the far northwest. Hazen's life debunks the myth of men who fought side by side bonding together into a brotherhood. Hazen also had running feuds with two secretaries of war. He caused one to be impeached and the other to be publicly disgraced. Even Sherman, after years of friendship, turned against Hazen. This book traces the origins of these feuds and how they played out in magazines, newspapers, congressional hearings, and trials, and how Hazen emerged triumphant. The book uses the unpublished memoir of Hazen's wife and the thirty-year correspondence with his best friend, James Garfield, to provide color and motivation to these feuds. Edward S. Cooper is an independent scholar. | 2006	ISBN 0-8386-4089-3	$52.50
WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE | Contemporary Italian Fictions of Female Aging | By RITA C. CAVIGIOLI | Situated at the crossroads of gender studies, narratology, and cultural studies, this book investigates the impact that the demographic and cultural revolutions of the last century have had on Italian women's life courses and on their literary imaginations.

The second part of the book analyzes several novels, including Di buona famiglia and Ultima luna, for narrative structure, setting, choice of themes and imagery, and asks how and to what degree narrative strategies are affected by age consciousness. Rita Cavigioli is Assistant Professor of Italian at the University of Missouri-Columbia. | 2006	ISBN 0-8386-4065-6	$47.50

CHARACTER AS A SUBVERSIVE FORCE IN SHAKESPEARE: THE HISTORY AND THE ROMAN PLAYS, Bernard J. Paris.

Concomitantly she dissects male-female relationships within the framing leitmotiv of prolonged male adolescence, undergirded by a woman's boundless tolerance for male narcissistic despair. Deledda's literary strategy subverts conventional expectations in surprising ways, as she exposes the inner working of a patronistic world where her women can finally wield a fragment of power. | 3935-6 $41.50

JOYCE'S ABANDONED FEMALE COSTUMES, GRATEFULLY RECEIVED, Elisabeth Sheffield.

LEAVING THE M/OTHER: WHITMAN, KRISTEVA, AND LEAVES OF GRASS, Beth Jensen. This book traces the pivotal role of the "mother" throughout each edition of Leaves of Grass. To limit "mother" to "biological mother" or even to "female," however, is too restrictive.

The "mother" is no longer a biological mother but instead a psychoanalytic m/other, the primal or pre-oedipal m/other, who looms large in the child's earliest phase of development. Kristeva's theory emphasizes patriarchy's suppression of the m/other in subject formation, a process suggested within the evolution of Leaves of Grass. | 3914-3 $33.50

THE MENTAL ANATOMIES OF WILLIAM GODWIN AND MARY SHELLEY, William D. Brewer.

Unlike most studies of Godwin and Shelley, it does not privilege their masterworks—for the most part, it focuses on their lesser-known writings.

THE METAMORPHOSIS OF APULEIUS: CUPID AND PSYCHE, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, KING KONG, Pasquale Accardo.

While folklorists have tended to deprecate the tale's affiliation with the classic French fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast," it would resurface in the horror movie, "King Kong," an epic retelling that is in many ways actually closer to Apuleius's original Latin. The Middle Platonic philosophic-religious allegorical interpretation of "Cupid and Psyche" is used to review the courses of the two later mutations. | 3923-2 $36.50

MONTEVERDI IN VENICE, Denis Stevens.  Monteverdi in Venice tells the story of Monteverdi's arrival in Venice and his thirty years of continuous work there as Director of Music at St. Mark's. Today's fads and fashions produce odd distortions of Monteverdi's musical habits. His vocal works, meant to be performed one voice to a part, are consistently given by massed choirs. For decades conductors and their audiences have swallowed the false theory that his music should be transposed, although there is no need to do so. This book describes and solves these problems, allowing the composer to shine through layers of pseudo-musicological varnish that has obscured a large part of his message. | 3879-1 $39.50

Raphael investigates the development of skepticism in narrative.

PAGAN DREISER: SONGS FROM AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY, Shawn St. Jean. Pagan Dreiser: Songs from American Mythology recontextualizes the eight novels of Theodore Dreiser with regard to his pervasive allusions, both in passing and at deep structural levels, in classical Greek myth, epic, and drama. His so-called naturalism, his elusive social criticism, and his unique approaches to sexuality, gender, and religion are often dictated by Dreiser's self-characterized "pagan" outlook, which itself reflected a larger cultural movement of early-twentieth-century America. Dreiser is reconsidered in the company of his modernist contemporaries, such as Eliot and Joyce, who drew heavily on ordered myth systems in order to dramatize the instability of the World War I era. | 3887-2 $42.50

This study also draws attention to the numerous parallels between Kokoschka's Expressionism and Freudian psychoanalysis, to the ways in which style in Vienna in 1900 could convey political (especially antifeminist and anti-Semitic) meanings. | 3905-4 $59.50

SALMAN RUSHDIE: A POSTMODERN READING OF HIS MAJOR WORKS, Sabrina Hassumani. This is a close textual analysis of Rushdie's five major novels: Midnight's Children, Shame, The Satanic Verses, Haroun and the Sea of Stories, and The Moor's Last Sigh. Rushdie recognizes that practicing identity politics leads to nativism and nationalism, categories he rejects because they merely invert the colonizer/colonized binary, leaving violent hierarchies intact. His impulse is to deconstruct the colonizer/colonized binary and in doing so to clear a "new" postmodern space. This text employs post-structuralist/postmodern theory not only to address the issues of representation that Rushdie raises in his major political novels, but also to facilitate a discussion of the manner in which he pushes the boundaries of the modern novel. | 3934-8 $32.50

TRADITION AND THE RHETORIC OF RIGHT: POPULAR POLITICAL ARGUMENT IN THE AUROBINDO MOVEMENT, David J. Lorenzo.

WHEN THE NORNS HAVE SPOKEN: TIME AND FATE IN GERMANIC PAGANISM, Anthony Winterbourne.

WILKIE COLLINS AND OTHER SENSATION NOVELISTS: WALKING THE MORAL HOSPITAL, Nicholas Rance. This work adopts a fresh approach by relating the vogue in the 1860s for sensation fiction to a specific phase of a crisis of faith in the bourgeois ideology of self-help. The demise of sensation fiction after a mere decade is then associated with a returned sense in the 1870s of the durability of the status quo, and the temporary revival of a moralism, which had seemed in a terminal condition in the 1860s. | 3444-3 $36.50

THE WOND'ROUS ART: WILLIAM BLAKE AND WRITING, John B. Pierce. This volume offers an extended analysis of what writing meant to Blake as a thematic, formal, and theoretical construct.

"THE WORLD MUST BE PEOPLED": SHAKESPEARE'S COMEDIES OF FORGIVENESS, Michael D. Friedman. This performance-oriented study proposes the dramatic subgenre "comedies of forgiveness" to describe four Shakespeare plays that have been traditionally been staged as if they were romantic comedies. The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Much Ado About Nothing, All's Well that Ends Well, and Measure for Measure all feature young heroes who behave badly, apologize weakly, yet quickly earn the complete forgiveness of their societies. This book suggests feminist stagings of the comedies of forgiveness designed to reveal how society deals with masculine fickleness, suspicion, lust, and sexual irresponsibility by channeling male erotic desire toward courtship, marriage, legitimate procreation, and childrearing. | 3941-0 $46.50
WORLD WITHOUT HEROES: THE BROOKLYN NOVELS OF DANIEL FUCHS, Marcelline Krafchick. Until now the three novels written by Daniel Fuchs in the 1930s have received critical attention primarily as Jewish or Depression-period writing.

WRITING BACK: SYLVIA PLATH AND COLD WAR POLITICS, Robin Peel. This volume explores the relationship between Plath's writing and Cold War discourses and argues that the time (1960–1963), the place (England), and the global politics are important factors for us to consider when we consider the rhetoric of Plath's later poetry and fiction.
