Reading Digital Fiction
Reading Digital Fiction offers the first comprehensive and systematic theoretical, methodological, and analytical examination of digital fiction from a cognitive and empirical perspective. Proposing the new concept of "medial reading", it argues for the centrality of an audience's interest in, awareness of and/or attention to the medium in which a text is produced and received, and which we argue should be applied to reader data across media. The book analyses and theorises five generations of digital fiction and their reading including hypertext fiction, hypermedia fiction, narrative video games, app fiction, and virtual reality. It showcases medium- and platform-specific methods of qualitative reader response research across a variety of contexts and settings from screen-based and embodied interaction to gallery installation, and from reading group and individual interview to think-aloud methodologies. The book thus addresses the unique affordances of digital fiction reading by designing and reporting on new empirical studies focusing on hypertextuality, interactivity, immersion, as well as medium-specific forms of textual "you", ontological ambiguity, reader orientation and empathy. In so doing, the book refines, critiques, and expands cognitive, transmedial, and empirical narratology and stylistics by placing the reader of these new narratives front and centre.The Open Access version of this book, available at http: //www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

Subversion and Conformity of Literary Collage
Subversion and Conformity of Literary Collage: Between Cut and Glue fills a gap in the current scholarship on literary collage, by addressing how different the interpretations of the concept are, depending on the author who uses the concept and the material and writers surveyed. The book studies writers who employed literary collage during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, some whose works have been intensely analyzed from this perspective (William S. Burroughs and Walter Benjamin), but also some whose collage-writing style has recently been investigated by writers, being usually placed under the umbrella term of artist books (Stelio Maria Martini).

The Politics of Modern Indian Language Literature
Indian literature is produced in a wealth of languages but there is an asymmetry in the exposure the writing gets, which owes partly to the politics of translation into English. This book represents the first comprehensive political scrutiny of the concerns and attitudes of Indian language literature after 1947 to cover such a wide range, including voices from the cultural margins of the nation like Kashmiri and Manipuri, that of women alongside those of minority and marginalised communities. In examining the politics of the writing especially in relation to concerns like nationhood, caste, tradition and modernity, postcoloniality, gender issues and religious conflict, the book goes beyond the declared ideology of each writer to get at covert significations pointing to widely shared but often unacknowledged biases. The book is deeply analytical but lucid and jargon-free and, to those unfamiliar with the writers, it introduces a new keenness into Indian literary criticism to make its objects exciting.
Wolfhart Heinrichsʼ Essays and Articles on Arabic Literature
Wolfhart Heinrichs' Essays and Articles on Arabic Literature: Authors, Semitic Studies, and Islamic Jurisprudence is the second of two volumes that showcase a great number of Heinrichs' writings on Arabic literature, Semitic Studies, and Islamic jurisprudence.Wolfhart Heinrichs (1941-2014) was James Richard Jewett Professor of Arabic at Harvard University. He is remembered as a significant adviser to Fuat Sezginʼs fundamental Geschichte des arabischen Schrifttums; as an editor of and contributor to the Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second edition; and, most importantly, as an author of many independent studies on Arabic literature, many of which were groundbreaking in the history of Arabic philology. He is also known for his studies on Semitic linguistics and Islamic jurisprudence.This volume collects relevant bibliographical data, offers an introductory essay on the author by his distinguished student Michael Cooperson (UCLA), and presents reprints of his articles and essays. These include the remainder of Heinrichsʼ contributions to Arabic literature, dealing with a number of classical Arabic authors, Semitic studies in general (among them Aramaic and Neo-Aramaic), and Rhetoric as used in Islamic jurisprudence and in the game of scholarly debate (jadal). An index of classical authors, book titles, and technical terms concludes the volume.This volume and its companion will appeal to students and researchers in the fields of Arabic literature, Semitic Studies, and Islamic jurisprudence.
The Theatrical Legacy of Thomas Middleton, 1624-2024
This volume celebrates Thomas Middleton's legacy as a dramatist, marking the 400th anniversary of Middleton's final and most contentious work for the public theatres, A Game at Chess (1624).The collection is divided into three sections: 'Critical and Textual Reception', 'Afterlives and Legacies', and 'Practice and Performance'. This division reflects the book's holistic approach to Middleton's canon, and its emphasis on the continuing significance of Middleton's writing to the study of early modern English drama. Each section offers an assessment of the place of Middleton's drama in culture, criticism, and education today through a range of critical approaches.Featuring work from a range of voices (from early career, independent, and seasoned academics and practitioners), the collection will be appropriate for both specialists in early modern literature and drama who are interested in both theory and practice, and students or scholars researching Middleton's historical significance to the study of early theatre.
Care and Crisis in Chinua Achebe's Novels
This book is a new study of Chinua Achebe's novels in which they are read as works of literary art, as literary works are studied and discussed within the discipline of literary studies and criticism. A central concept, care, which is a humane value, is found to run in the texts, and is the crux of the test that the major characters are subjected to. What challenges them as things to be taken care of through concern may be a human being in a dire circumstance, as with Ikemefuna (Things Fall Apart), the human group itself exposed to famine in what should be harvest time (Arrow of God), or the state which needs to be brought to its proper being, as Heidegger would say (No Longer at Ease and A Man of the People), or human suffering calling to be relieved (Anthills of the Savannah). The novels are all in the tragic mode, because intervention is under some kind of interdiction.

The Earth Intoxicated on Imagination
The aim of this Element is to forge new conceptual tools to give more ecological power to the human imagination. Imagination, both an innovative force and one that distances and blinds, is central to the ecological crisis as well as its potential resolution. Human imagination creates a bubble of denial, fostering the illusion of a smooth, reassuring, controlled, and neatly compartmentalized world. This Element critically contrasts the harmful modern concepts of reality and imagination with a more grounded "earthly" and "animal" imagination. It proposes to overcome the tension between two currents in environmental thought: those advocating imagination for utopian transformation, and proponents of realism, urging confrontation with the material world beyond anthropocentrism. Through analysis of key contemporary environmental work alongside insights from ethology and biosemiotics, the Element underpins the concept of "animal imagination," offering an alternative approach to environmental imagination and activism that fosters deeper engagement with the living world.

We're Alone
A collection of exceptional new essays by one of the most significant contemporary writers on the world stage Tracing a loose arc from Edwidge Danticat's childhood to the COVID-19 pandemic and recent events in Haiti, the essays gathered in We're Alone include personal narrative, reportage, and tributes to mentors and heroes such as Toni Morrison, Paule Marshall, Gabriel Garc穩a M獺rquez, and James Baldwin that explore several abiding themes: environmental catastrophe, the traumas of colonialism, motherhood, and the complexities of resilience. From hurricanes to political violence, from her days as a new student at a Brooklyn elementary school knowing little English to her account of a shooting hoax at a Miami mall, Danticat has an extraordinary ability to move from the personal to the global and back again. Throughout, literature and art prove to be her reliable companions and guides in both tragedies and triumphs. Danticat is an irresistible presence on the page: full of heart, outrage, humor, clear thinking, and moral questioning, while reminding us of the possibilities of community. And so "we're alone" is both a fearsome admission and an intimate invitation--we're alone now, we can talk. We're Alone is a book that asks us to think through some of the world's intractable problems while deepening our understanding of one of the most significant novelists at work today.

Graham Greene in the 1930s
Graham Greene in the 1930s presents a major new reading of Greene's literary works and critical writings from the 1930s, a period of increasing academic interest and importance. Greene's works from this period encompass a wide range of forms, genres and media, capturing the richness and variety of British literary culture between the wars; they also reveal its urgent preoccupations and challenges, such as the era-defining concern with the relationship between politics and art, and a corresponding fascination with modernity and mass culture, as well as the shifting status of literature itself during the first true media age. Graham Greene in the 1930s investigates this major twentieth-century author's less-considered early works in their original literary historical contexts, and in the context of new critical approaches to the decade's literature and culture: from the reconsideration within modernist studies of the kinds of interwar writing - with its characteristic movement between genres and experimentation - typified by early Greene; to the current focus on "the long 1930s" which has seen the decade repositioned at the heart of twentieth-century British literary history. This book establishes the compelling intersections between early Greene and the literature of the 1930s. It puts Greene at the centre of an era of profound and continuous transition, and of a remarkable period in twentieth-century literary history.
Afrofuturism and World Order
In Afrofuturism and World Order, Reynaldo Anderson delves into the evolution of Black speculative thought and Afrofuturism from the early twentieth century to the present day. By locating Afrofuturism within an African geography of reason, he situates the past, present, and future of people of African descent at the intersection of speculative philosophy, science fiction, futurology, artificial intelligence, climate change, and geopolitics. Historically, Afrofuturism theorized futures for Black Americans through merging their lived experiences with science fiction, technology, music, and art. Drawing from adaptations in Black culture and speculative thought during the Cold War, Anderson addresses the shifting focus of the genre from American to transnational, as well as the implications of modern existential threats such as the COVID-19 pandemic. By tracing the Black speculative tradition from its overlaps with Africana esotericism and certain African diaspora regions, to its intersections with astroculture and modernism, to the works of Malcolm X, Amiri Baraka, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Octavia Butler, to the aesthetic politics of the Black Speculative Arts movement, and beyond, Anderson illuminates how Afrofuturism participates in an increasingly multipolar world.
Queer Genealogies in Dominican Literature and Culture
Tracing cultural representations of queerness in the Dominican Republic from the 1950s to the presentIn this book, Maja Horn examines the evolution of queer Dominican literary and cultural production from the 1950s to the present, challenging simplistic developmental narratives of LGBTIQ+ progress. Through an analysis of literature, theater, and activism, Horn traces how same-sex desire and gender nonconformity have been negotiated both tacitly and overtly across the years.Beginning with early forerunners, Horn looks at literary representations in works by Hilma Contreras and Pedro Ren矇 Cont穩n Aybar during the 1930-1961 dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. Horn goes on to explore the emergence of queer nightlife spaces during the Balaguer years through novels by Rita Indiana Hern獺ndez and Rey Emmanuel And繳jar. Horn discusses how the work of playwright Waddys J獺quez challenges reductive mainstream representations of trans subjects and HIV/AIDS in the new democratic era. The book concludes with a discussion of groundbreaking recent texts that have expanded portrayals beyond Santo Domingo and introduced new perspectives.Throughout Queer Genealogies in Dominican Literature and Culture, Horn shows how class, race, and gender have shaped access to public space and strategies for negotiating sexuality. Horn also reveals the coexistence of different ways of expressing queer identities. Recognizing the influence of coloniality and narratives of identity in the global North, Horn celebrates the shifting geographies and multiplicities of a uniquely creole Dominican queerness.
Theatre Closure and the Paradoxical Rise of English Renaissance Drama in the Civil Wars
Focusing on the production and reception of drama during the theatre closures of 1642 to 1660, Heidi Craig shows how the 'death' of contemporary theatre in fact gave birth to English Renaissance drama as a critical field. While the prohibition on playing in many respects killed the English stage, drama thrived in print, with stationers publishing unprecedented numbers of previously unprinted professional plays, vaunting playbooks' ties to the receding theatrical past. Marketed in terms of novelty and nostalgia, plays unprinted before 1642 gained new life. Stationers also anatomized the whole corpus of English drama, printing the first anthologies and comprehensive catalogues of drama. Craig captures this crucial turning-point in English theatre history with chapters on royalist nostalgia, clandestine theatrical revivals, dramatic compendia, and the mysteriously small number of Shakespeare editions issued during the period, as well as a new incisive reading of Beaumont and Fletcher's A King and No King.

Masculinities in Mid-Twentieth-Century Irish Fiction and Culture, 1931-1965
Masculinities in Mid-Twentieth-Century Irish Fiction and Culture, 1931-1965 is a critical analysis of the construction, consolidation, and regulation of post-colonial Irish masculinity as evidenced by Irish fiction published during the mid-twentieth century. Investigating the years of the Irish Free State, ?ire, and the Republic of Ireland, this book uses the years preceding the enactment of Bunreacht na h?ireann (the Irish Constitution) in 1937 and the years following the First Programme for Economic Expansion in 1958 as its span for research. The analysis in this book incorporates contextual work on the masculinities of election rhetoric, Church and State visions of an idealised Irish masculinity, and the role of popular culture and fiction in promoting or rejecting official versions of Irish manhood. Therein, this book crucially analyses both critically acclaimed Irish authors such as Kate O'Brien, John McGahern, and Elizabeth Bowen alongside lesser-known writers who fell victim to the mid-century's rigorous culture of censorship such as M. J. Farrell, Norah Hoult, and John Broderick. Wright's research in this book provides a holistic approach to scrutinising the construction of post-colonial Irish masculinity, including analysis on drinking culture, civil service employment, queer relationships, and the value of violence in masculine currencies.
Post-Monolingual Anglophone Novels
Engaging with recent research in literary multilingualism studies, the global anglophone and comparative studies, this book theorizes the so-called post-monolingual anglophone novels. Inspired by Yasemin Yildiz's Beyond the Mother Tongue: The Postmonolingual Condition (2012), post-monolingual anglophone novels are understood as literary texts that activate multi- and translingual strategies to mount a challenge to the "monolingual norm" and the homogenizing aspirations of English. Post-monolingual anglophone novels employ literary configurations of multi- and translingualism without ignoring the ongoing validity of the monolingual norm in the international book market and the power differentials inherent in English. This corpus of texts is therefore highly self-conscious about the use of language. As post-monolingual novels stage exchange and movement between languages, they also model, in the realm of fiction, new concepts of language. In several case studies of contemporary anglophone post-monolingual novels from different parts of the world, the book demonstrates how the post-monolingual in literature operates within different cultural and political contexts. The readings of Arundhati Roy's The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, Yvonne A. Owuor's The Dragonfly Sea, Marlon James' A Brief History of Seven Killings, J.M. Coetzee's The Childhood of Jesus and Ocean Vuong's On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous propose theoretically and methodologically innovative ways of engaging with literary multi- and translingualism. While the analyses focus on the post-monolingual poetics, they also direct attention to the novels' modes of production and circulation in the anglosphere.

Railway Infrastructure and the Victorian Novel
From 1830 onwards, railway infrastructure and novel infrastructure worked together to set nineteenth-century British society moving in new directions. At the same time, they introduced new periods of relative stasis into everyday life - whether waiting for a train or for the next instalment of a serial - that were keenly felt. Here, Nicola Kirkby maps out the plot mechanisms that drive canonical nineteenth-century fiction by authors including Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Anthony Trollope, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy and E. M. Forster. Her cross-disciplinary approach, as enjoyable to follow as it is thorough, draws logistical challenges of multiplot, serial, and collaborative fiction into dialogue with large-scale public infrastructure. If stations, termini, tracks and tunnels reshaped the way that people moved and met both on and off the rails in the nineteenth century, Kirkby asks, then what new mechanisms did these spaces of encounter, entanglement, and disconnection offer the novel?

Poetry and Bondage
Poetry and Bondage is a groundbreaking and comprehensive study of the history of poetic constraint. For millennia, poets have compared verse to bondage - chains, fetters, cells, or slavery. Tracing this metaphor from Ovid through the present, Andrea Brady reveals the contributions to poetics of people who are actually in bondage. How, the book asks, does our understanding of the lyric - and the political freedoms and forms of human being it is supposed to epitomise - change, if we listen to the voices of enslaved and imprisoned poets? Bringing canonical and contemporary poets into dialogue, from Thomas Wyatt to Rob Halpern, Emily Dickinson to M. NourbeSe Philip, and Phillis Wheatley to Lisa Robertson, the book also examines poetry that emerged from the plantation and the prison. This book is a major intervention in lyric studies and literary criticism, interrogating the whiteness of those disciplines and exploring the possibilities for committed poetry today.
A Literary History of Latin & English Poetry
Victoria Moul's groundbreaking study uncovers one of the most important features of early modern English poetry: its bilingualism. The first guide to a forgotten literary landscape, this book considers the vast quantities of poetry that were written and read in both Latin and English from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. Introducing readers to a host of new authors and drawing on hundreds of manuscript as well as print sources, it also reinterprets a series of landmarks in English poetry within a bilingual literary context. Ranging from Tottel's miscellany to the hymns of Isaac Watts, via Shakespeare, Jonson, Herbert, Marvell, Milton and Cowley, this revelatory survey shows how the forms and fashions of contemporary Latin verse informed key developments in English poetry. As the complex, highly creative interactions between the two languages are revealed, the work reshapes our understanding of what 'English' literary history means.
Epiphanies in the Modernist Short Story
The poetics of epiphany have long been recognised as a broad aesthetic trend of modernism, related to the power of art to reveal the hidden essence of reality. Yet the critical use of the concept is still contested, complicated by the fact that in many modernist works exceptional moments are anything but revealing. This book embraces the blurred nature of epiphanies and sets out to explore their effects in a comparative journey paralleling Anglophone and Italian modernist short fiction. The work of four modernist short story writers - Luigi Pirandello, James Joyce, Federigo Tozzi, and Katherine Mansfield - illuminates epiphanies as complex phenomena, connected to multiple aspects of modernist culture, which appear in artistic experiences developed independently in the same decades. The ideas of Henri Bergson, William James, Martin Heidegger, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, among others, nuance our understanding of the stories and of the author's vision behind them. At least three threads emerge, as a result, as common characteristics of modernist epiphanies. First, they are a result of the 'inward turn' and of the curiosity about the psyche's subconscious processes. Second, they attempt to rediscover lived experience as a source of partial but reliable knowledge. Third, they re-actualise mystical experiences as conduits to a secular insight about life. The main appeal of these modernist moments of enlightenment is precisely that they establish an atmosphere of ambiguity where multiple and sometimes irreconcilable potential meanings can be found. By so doing, they succeed in evoking the undifferentiated creative potential that, according to the widespread vitalist philosophies of the age, constitutes the essence of life. In reframing ambiguity and indeterminacy as spaces of creation and choice, epiphanies thus bring out a lesser known, life-affirming but not na簿ve vein of modernist inspiration.

Nervous
"Nervous takes the focus from the abstract and does what doctors (and historians) failed to do: makes her story, her pain, and her life as real as any history that proceeded. Nervous gives face and weight to those forgotten women whose suffering has become little more than anecdotal collections of stories, not real people. It's seamless and powerful. Nervous is a masterful personal narrative, beautifully written and captivating. It should- and will- be placed alongside some of the best well-crafted and compelling contemporary memoirs of this era."--Bassey Ikpi, New York Times bestselling author of I'm Telling the Truth but I'm LyingActivist Jen Soriano brings to light the lingering impacts of transgenerational trauma and uses science, history, and family stories to flow toward transformation in this powerful collection that brings together the lyric storytelling, cultural exploration, and thoughtful analysis of The Argonauts, The Woman Warrior, What My Bones Know, and Minor Feelings.The power of quiet can haunt us over generations, crystallizing in pain that Jen Soriano views as a form of embodied history. In this searing memoir in essays, Soriano, the daughter of a neurosurgeon, journeys to understand the origins of her chronic pain and mental health struggles. By the end, she finds both the source and the delta of what bodies impacted by trauma might need to thrive. In fourteen essays connected by theme and experience, Soriano traverses centuries and continents, weaving together memory and history, sociology and personal stories, neuroscience and public health, into a vivid tapestry of what it takes to transform trauma not just body by body, but through the body politic and ecosystems at large.Beginning with a shocking timeline juxtaposing Soriano's medical history with the history of hysteria and witch hunts, Nervous navigates the human body--centering neurodiverse, disabled, and genderqueer bodies of color--within larger systems that have harmed and silenced Filipinos for generations. Soriano's wide-ranging essays contemplate the Spanish-American War that ushered in United States colonization in the Philippines; the healing power of an inherited legacy of music; a chosen family of activists from the Bay Area to the Philippines; and how the fluidity of our nervous systems can teach us how to shape a trauma-wise future.With Nervous, Soriano boldly invites us along on a watershed journey toward healing, understanding, and communion.
