The Ghazal Eros
The old ghazal, i.e. the poetry of eros in Urdu, Persian and Arabic, has been read as great literature but seldom as a document of history. This book argues that there is one element - the expression of masculine passion (ʽishq) for a masculine object - that has shaped the ghazal historically and across languages. The neglect of this element, which it terms lyric queerness, in mainstream cultural history and even LGBTQ studies, screens from us a lyrical corpus that was historically aware, vernacularizing, and suspicious of other-worldly interpretations and is represented here by the ghazal of the Indian subcontinent.

New Approaches to Transcodification
This collection aims to renew our perspective on adaptation and intermedial processes by thinking of them in terms of codes rather than media. As a result, the notion of transcodification emerges as a crucial tool in order to study the circulation of semiotic and aesthetic resources across disciplines, knowledge systems, and cultures. Defined as the transfer of meaning-making potential from one semiotic domain to another, transcodification both includes and transcends intermediality, thus dramatically expanding the scope and research potential of adaptation and intermedial studies.The essays collected here apply this framework to an incredibly wide variety of objects and issues, from the relationship between art and historiography to the visual culture of finance, from contemporary approaches to ekphrasis to the hidden labor of screenwriters, from modern surveillance to digital comics, from fansubbing to the reception of the classical world in the digital age, from medieval theater to the role of videogames in the "war on terror".By fostering dialogue between radically different disciplines, the book offers a unique approach to the study of semiotic interrelations across the most diverse aspects of human culture.
Translating Petrarch in Early Modern Britain
Translating Petrarch in early modern Britain gathers twelve essays by international scholars focusing on the translation of Petrarch's vernacular verse (Canzoniere and Triumphi) into English, from the Tudor age to the mid-seventeenth century (and beyond). Approaching translation as an interpretive process, but also a mode of literary emulation and cultural engagement with Petrarch's prestigious precedent, the collection explores the complex and interconnected trajectories of both poetic works in English and Scottish literary milieux. While situating each translation in its distinct historical, material, and literary context, the essays trace the reception of Petrarch's works in early modern Britain through the combined processes of linguistic and metric innovation, literary imitation, musical adaptation and cultural and material 'domestication'. The collection sheds light on the origins and development of early modern English Petrarchism as part of wider transnational - and indeed, translational-European literary culture.

Close Reading for the Twenty-First Century
A user's guide to the fundamental practice of literary studies, providing context, examples, and practical exercises Close reading--making an argument based in close attention to a text--is the foundation of literary studies. This book offers a guide to close reading, treating it as a skill that can be taught and practiced. It first explains what close reading is, what it does, and how it has been used across theoretical schools ranging from affect studies to Black studies to queer theory to Marxism. It then presents a series of master classes in the practice, with original contributions by scholars from a range of different institutions. Finally, it provides practical materials, worksheets, and suggested activities for instructors to use in the classroom. The tone throughout is encouraging and accessible, inviting readers of all backgrounds to hone their craft. The book divides the practice of close reading into five steps, coining a term for each step: scene setting, noticing, local claiming, regional argumentation, and global theorizing. It traces the roots of close reading, showing how it has spread far beyond its origins in practical criticism and New Criticism. In twenty-one short chapters, contemporary scholars discuss close readings by such prominent literary critics as Erich Auerbach and Helen Vendler, describing how their arguments work and how to achieve similar results. An essential resource for instructors and students at the undergraduate level and beyond, this book shows how understanding close reading can make us better readers, thinkers, and writers.

Lessing and the Consequences
The history of modern German drama begins with Lessing. However, he is regarded as an author who stands at a threshold, paving the way for Weimar Classicism without walking it himself. Lessing is the 'pre-classicist' of German literature, praised and appropriated as a fighter for the nation and the bourgeoisie, for truth and tolerance. Robert Vellusig traces Lessing's influence on German culture and literature, with all its misunderstandings, in contrast to his multifaceted oeuvre and portrays him as a pastor's son turned poet, a genius of criticism, an intellectual well versed in public debates, and an outstanding representative of Enlightenment in the truest sense of the word. This book is a translation of the original German edition Lessing und die Folgen by Robert Vellusig, published by J.B. Metzler, part of Springer Nature, in 2023. The translation was done by artificial intelligence (machine translation), revised by Sophie Hollw繹ger in collaboration with the author.
