The Work of Words
Rather than focus on the well-known 'dignity of literature' debate, whereby authors such as Dickens sought to establish authorship as a middle-class profession, The Work of Words considers the alternative path of middle-class writers who re-presented literature as a manual craft. Unlike many works in the field, it extends beyond the mid-Victorian novel as a generic and historical focus, to address its aesthetic and political afterlife right up to the periods of Guild Socialism, modernism and European fascism. Given the tilt of world trade towards China, and more recent supply chain shocks, it is not just writers who are haunted by a lost world of material production, but much of the de-industrialised West. By studying the Victorian attempt to make composition (and related mental processes) palpable, this book takes the long view on questions that still trouble us, and responds to recent concerns, whether as manifested through the revival of craft and workshop culture, or debates about the visibility, weight and worth of the humanities.
Timeless Turmoil
Timeless Turmoil offers a comprehensive historical and comparative analysis of recent conflicts in Kosovo, Abkhazia, and the Tskhinvali region, examining their geopolitical dynamics from ancient times to the present. With a focus on post-Soviet transitions, noted Georgian international relations scholar Kakhaber Kalichava explores Russia's role in shaping these conflicts, particularly how Russia has strategically exploited them to maintain influence in post-Soviet space. The book also assesses Western recognition of Kosovo's declaration of independence in 2008 and how it has been leveraged by Russia to support its narrative of the recent Georgian conflicts. As the first book to locate comparisons of Kosovo and Georgia's breakaway regions, Timeless Turmoil reveals both shared and distinct characteristics of those conflicts, fresh insights into the geopolitical landscape of the Balkans and the Caucasus, and a balanced and scholarly perspective on some of the most significant conflicts of our era.
The Provost
Just out of earshot, in countless nineteenth-century novels, runs the hum of daily labour by house servants, the upward striving of local worthies. The background of many a Jane Austen novel roils with war; Walter Scott writes in the time of radical weavers. It was John Galt, living between the prosperous Royal Borough of Ivrine, the intensity of technological Greenock, and the politics of London who brought this background into the foreground. Provost Pawkie's memoir of his life loops through the personal and political frustrations of small town life lived in an increasingly global context. Full of incident, and leavened with a large dose of self-interest, the provost's memoirs offer a clear eyed, and often funny context for our own time. Through his self-revealing narrator, Galt accomplishes a trenchant critique of the intrigue that is a global politics, when lived personally and locally.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

It also reproduces a selection of the 104 illustrations by Sidney Paget which appeared in the first British edition.
Nature of Images in Novels
The need to reflect the biographical information of the creator in his work, to identify the factors manifested in the individual style, to show that the style is a unique poetic category, to research a number of problems such as the image, the language of the work as a whole system has always been urgent. During the years of independence, many achievements were made in the field of research of fiction from the point of view of creative-individual style in Uzbekistan. In current Uzbek literary studies, the analysis of the artistic work and the illumination of the poetic skill of the creator are approached on the basis of various research methods of world literary studies. A monographic study of the creative heritage of the well-known representative of Uzbek literature, Nodir Normatov, the unique qualities of his works, and the artistic skills of the writer are among the important tasks of literary studies. In Khuriyat Khudoymurodova's book, Nodir Normatov's laboratory have been studied in a monographic plan. The scientific views and conclusions reflected in this research may help to assess the issues of artistic skill of Nodir Normatov.
Romeo and Juliet
This is Romeo and Juliet as you've never experienced it before...By the time William Shakespeare penned the first words of the most famous romantic tragedy of our time, another storyteller had already written Romeo and Juliet. In fact, Matteo Bandello's stories had been translated into multiple languages across Europe before the doomed lovers inspired Shakespeare to create his world-famous play.In this edition, Bandello's original tale has been translated and formatted for the modern reader. In contrast to Shakespearean English, Bandello's beautiful writing has a clarity and directness through which we hear, as never before, the words a real Romeo and Juliet might have said to each other. The star-crossed lovers we know are there, just as in the play, but their troubles are set in a real Verona, that Bandello knew personally.As the tragedy unfolds to its bitter end, Bandello's heartrending story offers readers a more intimate experience of the anguish and joys that captured Shakespeare and an entire continent. Hidden for years in the ivory towers of scholarly study, Bandello's influential tale finds new life in Michael Curtotti's translation for students and lovers of literature alike.(In addition to the translation this edition includes (in parallel-language layout) an extensive introduction and afterword, a table of scene by scene comparisons between the Bandello and Shakespeare versions and a table of characters).

E. Gontarski, the Companion draws on the most vital, ground-breaking research to outline the nature of Beckett studies for the next generation.
Morbidities and ”The Concept of the New Literature”
Ram籀n G籀mez de la Serna (1888-1963) was one of Spain's most gifted avant-gardists. Oftentimes remembered as the inventor of the greguer穩a--a type of witty and humorous epigram that recasts the commonplace and absurdities of everyday reality--he was a prolific writer and published dozens of novels, essays, short stories, articles, editorials, and biographies throughout his life. Two of his major works--the autobiography Morbidities (1908), and the manifesto "The Concept of the New Literature" (1909)--belong to his earliest period of experimentation. These two early works are of singular importance not only in understanding his development as an avant-gardist, but also in analyzing Spanish literature within the broader framework of European avant-garde culture. With prescient clarity, they highlight many of the aesthetic notions that would revolutionize experimental literature throughout the modernist period. This book offers the first complete English translation of Morbidities and "The Concept of the New Literature," and it introduces anglophone readers to some of G籀mez de la Serna's most passionate ideas about modernity and "new literature."
The Epic Worlds of Alfred D繹blin
Of the three great German word-artists of the first half of the 20th century, Alfred D繹blin remains the least known. The other two are Thomas Mann, whose attitude towards D繹blin ranged from cautious admiration to violent rage; and Berthold Brecht, who learned much from the ideas of his friend D繹blin. Anglophone readers have almost no source of information about D繹blin, or about the few works already translated into English (Berlin Alexanderplatz perhaps excepted). In Germany, reliable editions of D繹blin trickled out between the 1980s (decades after his death in 1957!) and the 2010s. Academic lit. crit. scholars enjoy tackling aspects of his life and output in ways attractive to other scholars. But little has been done to promote D繹blin to a wider pool of readers. For the first time, Adventurous Reader's Guide provides the inquisitive reader with a map, compass and rations to sustain them as they proceed through the vividly imagined exotic landscapes of his epic novels. D繹blin famously declared: 'If a novel can't be cut up into ten pieces like a worm, and each piece lives by itself, it is worthless'. The seventy-two excerpts presented in this book show how he put this maxim into practice. Each deserves close reading, for each brings to life its own vivid world. The excerpts were chosen (from many possible candidates) for their power to entertain, provoke, amuse, cause shudders, and showcase D繹blin's mastery of styles, moods, and expressive possibilities. After reading through the selection, or even just dipping in, you should be well prepared to tackle a whole epic novel.
