Holland Merlin: After Oscar

After Oscar

The Legacy of a Scandal

Oxford English Monographs

Modernism After the Ballets Russes examines the philosophical conditions of early twentieth-century Britain's theatrical landscape, marked by growing interest in Nietzschean interpretations of classical drama and Wagnerian notions of the Gesamtkunstwerk, to illuminate the allure of the Ballets Russes's re-centring of dance.

Global Textualities: Multicultural and Transcultural Narratives

'Mirza's theorization of resistance is a substantive addition to feminist and postcolonial scholarship, and her rich readings of different literary texts make a valuable contribution to feminist literary studies.' &gt;'Resistance and its discontents in South Asian women's fiction is a rigorous and impassioned exploration of the concept of resistance in postcolonial literature. It is an essential contribution to the field of postcolonial studies and a compelling excavation of resistance in South Asian women's writing.' &gt;'Mirza's comprehensive take on what counts as "resistance" in Anglophone fiction by women writers from South Asia and its diaspora--not just its heroic manifestations but also its limits, its contradictions, its marginality and even its absence in the reality of women's lives--makes this a provocative theoretical inquiry into female agency. Resistance and its Discontents in South Asian Women's Fiction makes a major contribution to postcolonial criticism as well as feminist theory.' &gt;'Maryam Mirza's new book is sure to become a major work of reference in the field of South Asian literary studies and of literature by (and on) women. Its breadth, depth, and level of detail are astonishing, and it offers a thoroughly new reboot of the genre of "resistance literature", by enlarging and complexifying the semantic reach of the term "resistance" beyond its current remit within contemporary fictional narratives.' &gt;This book examines how English-language fiction by women writers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka has grappled with the idea and practice of resistance. A valuable, original and timely contribution to the field of South Asian literary and cultural studies, the monograph extends and complicates existing debates about the meaning(s) of resistance and, by extension, 'the political'. It brings to the fore not only the emancipatory potential of resistance, but also the contradictions that it can encompass as well as the anxieties that it can generate, particularly for women. Focusing on novels and short stories, the book explores fiction by Arundhati Roy, Kamila Shamsie, Tahmima Anam, Jhumpa Lahiri, Manju Kapur, and Ru Freeman, amongst others. Over six chapters, it engages with a range of manifestations as well as omissions of resistance including, but not limited to, public defiance against military dictatorships, imperial rule and patriarchal oppression sanctioned by the state, the fight for better working conditions, and the multiplicity of battles waged in the home, as well as the choice of expressing one's creative, linguistic, sexual or sexed identity. The book will be an important resource for undergraduate and graduate students of postcolonial literature, South Asian cultural studies, and gender studies. It will also be of considerable interest to members of the general public who are fascinated by the literary and social landscape of the Indian subcontinent today.

Resistance and its Discontents in South Asian Women's Fiction

Oxford World's Classics

The Guermantes Way

Examining the rise of Irish crime novels in the twenty-first century, Maureen Reddy argues that writers such as Ken Bruen, Benjamin Black, Tana French, Niamh O¿Connor, Cormac Millar, Stuart Neville, Brian McGilloway, Declan Hughes, and Declan Burke are collectively working through the problem of defining Irishness and grappling with deep anxieties about a society that is rapidly changing in the face of a globalized, late capitalist culture.

Although several Irish writers produced crime novels before 2000, most of these books were set outside Ireland and brought out by non-Irish publishing houses. This situation changed radically in the early years of the twenty-first century when numerous novels and series set in Ireland and written by Irish authors were published and began generating strong sales at home and abroad. Maureen Reddy examines this phenomenon, analyzing the conditions that gave rise to it and the commonalities among the novels. Reddy places what she calls Hibernian Noir in the context of the social and economic conditions in Ireland from 1998 to 2012 and relates that period to the post-World War I United States that gave rise to hardboiled detective fiction. As Reddy shows, Irish hardboiled fiction participates in the genre’s tradition of placing previously marginalized individuals in positions of narrative authority. At the same time, Reddy argues that writers such as Ken Bruen, Benjamin Black, Tana French, Niamh O’Connor, Cormac Millar, Stuart Neville, Brian McGilloway, Declan Hughes, and Declan Burke are collectively working through the problem of defining Irishness and grappling with deep anxieties about a society that is rapidly changing in the face of a globalized, late capitalist culture.

Noir and the Irish Nation

From the best-selling author of The End of Your Life Book Club comes a warm, funny, irresistible book that follows an improbable and life-changing friendship over the course of forty years. 'Moving. Salted with intelligence and empathy' New York Times Book Review 'A page-turner' New Yorker 'Really shines' San Francisco Chronicle 'Gorgeous' Sebastian Junger ------------- Imagine a secret society which pairs you with your polar opposite. You meet regularly. What would you talk about? Could you become friends? Will is bookish, quiet, gay, manning AIDS helplines. Maxey is loud, a wrestler, a Jock, intent on a military life. But paired together - over dinner, beers, pool games - they forge an extraordinary and resilient bond. We Should Not Be Friends is an account of their odd-couple relationship, its ups and downs, twists and turns, the misunderstandings and the trust built over forty turbulent years. ------------- 'A rare view of male friendship . . . succeeds because Maxey comes across as a great character, a warm and devoted friend' NPR 'Schwalbe has an uncanny ability to use his personal experience as a springboard for universal truths' Los Angeles Times 'A charming read with plenty of surprises. Celebrates not only an unlikely friendship, but the strange turns a life can take' Wall Street Journal 'Schwalbe's memoir shines. Written like a true friend' Daily Mail

PRE-ORDER THE PAPERBACK NOW From the best-selling author of The End of Your Life Book Club comes a warm, funny, irresistible book that follows an improbable and life-changing friendship over the course of forty years. 'Moving' NEW YORK TIMES ''Schwalbe's memoir shines...Written like a true friend' DAILY MAIL ------------- in his last year of university, Will thought he knew everyone he cared to know. A per-haired, out gay young man, working at an AIDS helpline in the early days of the crisis, Will found community amongst the theatre students, artists and writers. He also knew who he wanted to avoid: the jocks. Wearing sporty clothes and moving in boisterous packs, the jocks seemed to be a different species entirely, one Will might encounter only at his own peril. All this changed dramatically when Will was brought into a secret society at Yale, aimed to bring together a group of opposites. On his first day, he was faced with Chris Maxey - a physically imposing, loud, star wrestler who seemed to be uncomfortable around Will and embodied everything he disliked and feared. But through months of mandated dinners, and many beers, the two swapped life-stories and forged an unexpected bond that became a ballast in each other's lives for forty years. A real-life The Breakfast Club story, We Should Not Be Friends is a testament to the miracle of human connection, if only we see past our differences.

Bloomsbury Studies in Critical Poetics

Poetry and Emergent Worlds explores how some of the most innovative strategies, forms and themes in postwar American poetry are concerned with ideas of the child and with childishness. The book offers a survey of the relationship between poetry, childhood and sexuality in a range of 20th and 21st-century American poets. Drawing upon the latest perspectives from psychoanalytic and queer theories of the child, the book demonstrates the extent to which the child stands as a central figure in our thinking about American culture and to its poetic traditions in particular. The book examines work by a range of postwar American poets, from Elizabeth Bishop, John Ashbery, James Schuyler and Joe Brainard to Claudia Rankine, micha cárdenas and Andrea Brady.

A History of France in 21 Women

From Virginia Woolf to David Foster Wallace and beyond, 'redemptive hybridism' – a new way of reading texts full of possibility and genre blending – emerges as a key trajectory for post-postmodernity.

Tasha Haines investigates what she calls 'redemptive hybridism' a tendency in post-postmodern writing characterized by possibility. She suggests that near the 21st century, postmodern élitisme gives way to a reparative blending of high-low forms and genre collaborations for challenging and extending the relationship between writer, written material, and reader.
 
 By combining an innovative literary investigation with creative and auto-theoretical strategies, Haines offers valuable new interpretations for texts of ‘the modernisms continuum’. Her conversational survey moves among the hybridity of Virginia Woolf, the paratextuality of David Foster Wallace, with Nathalie Sarraute, Édouard Levé, Maggie Nelson and more. In reference to Deleuze and Guattari, Hassan, and others, writers are curated for their approach to form, method, and content, evoking and invoking textual hybridity. 

Haines articulates a new way of viewing works via comparisons and close-ups that exemplify the possibility and genre-blending that is Redemptive Hybridism in Post-Postmodern Writing.

Routledge Introductions to American Literature

In this latest addition to the Routledge Studies in American Literature series, Frederick Luis Aldama, shows the rich, evolving tapestry that makes up Latino/a literature across time as well as geographical and institutional spaces, touching on fundamental backdrops like political issues surrounding migration/immigration to the US as well as Central American, South American, and Caribbean political, social and cultural influences that have each added considerable depth, contrast, and variation to this tapestry.

The topic of Latino/a Literature is not as easily identifiable as it may seem. The definition itself of Latino can change depending on who you are talking to—so, what do we mean in this case, and what will this book explore? In this latest addition to the Routledge Studies in American Literature series, Frederick Luis Aldama, shows the rich, evolving tapestry that makes up "Latino/a literature" across time as well as geographical and institutional spaces, touching on fundamental backdrops like political issues surrounding migration/immigration to the US as well as Central American, South American, and Caribbean political, social and cultural influences that have each added considerable depth, contrast, and variation to the tapestry. This impressive and increasingly influential body of literature that continues to transform the US in countless ways has been underrepresented in the academic community. With the majority minority of the country quickly becoming the majority in some states, Latino/a literature needs more to be given more attention which is exactly what Aldama brilliantly achieves with this new study that covers well know and lesser known works by Latino/a writes of the last few centuries and gives context to the times and environment in which they were written. Offering readers an exceptionally comprehensive review of this vital and under-explored subject, Aldama’s Introduction to Latino/a Literature promises to be an indispensable text.
