GRAZIA DELEDDA'S ETERNAL ADOLESCENTS: THE PATHOLOGY OF ARRESTED MATURATION, Jan Kozma. Deledda, the Nobel Prize winner of 1926, a century ago identified a psychosociological pathology: the arrested maturation of her male characters. Throughout her prose, truncated maturity functions as a psychological undertow, sucking down its suffers and the women who love them into the depths of fictive drama. 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.

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

She contends that in identifying the language of excess as feminine, Joyce is not forging an écriture féminine, but is exploiting a concept of the feminine as irrational, discursive, and flowing to describe a new and other writing practice.

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. Providing means of analysis, psychoanalytic theorist Julia Kristeva broadens the definition of "mother," with her theory of subject formation. 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.

THE MENTAL ANATOMIES OF WILLIAM GODWIN AND MARY SHELLEY, William D. Brewer. This book explores the influence of Enlightenment and Romantic-era theories of the mind on the writings of Godwin and Shelley and examines the ways in which these writers use their fiction to explore such psychological phenomena as ruling passions, madness, the therapeutic value of confessions (both spoken and written), and the significance of dreams. Unlike most studies of Godwin and Shelley, it does not privilege their masterworks-for the most part, it focuses on their lesser-known writings. Brewer also considers the works of other Romantic-era writers, as well as the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century philosophical and medical theories that informed Godwin's and Shelley's presentations of mental states and types of behavior.

THE METAMORPHOSIS OF APULEIUS: CUPID AND PSYCHE, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, KING KONG, Pasquale Accardo. The Metamorphosis of Apuleius traces two millennia of changes in the tale of "Cupid and Psyche," the major inserted tale in Lucius Apuleius's second-century Latin novel Metamorphoses (or The Golden Ass). 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.

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.

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.

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.

THE POWER OF TAUTOLOGY: THE ROOTS OF LITERARY THEORY, Allen Thiher. Much literary theory is based on tautological reasoning, and circular definitions are often the springboard to theorizing about causal connections. Five chapters of this book pursue this argument by studying dominant theoretical models. The culminating point of theorizing through tautologies is reached finally in the poststructuralist theories of Lacan and Derrida, antitheoretical theorists who define literature as the play of linguistic difference.

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.

Wilkins Freeman, the book incorporates relevant comparisons between middle-class white women's stories and "other" women's relationship stories such as African-American and working-class women's tales, presenting a way for today's reader to approach these sometimes puzzling works of short fiction.

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.

"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.
