My Reading

A book on the experience of reading Shakespeare's 'dark plays'.

As part of the My Reading series, King Lear is a personal meditation on a great literary work. Arthur W. Frank brings a career of studying illness and suffering to consider how King Lear can aid people whose lives need help. Reading King Lear leads Frank to an encounter with his own old age and provides a source of consolation and companionship. This book does not try to minimize vulnerabilities, but it shows what is fully human, and thus shared, in suffering. The book introduces readers to King Lear and it invites those who know the play to a new consideration for its ability to affect people's lives.

A Financial Times Best Book of 2025A Forbes Best Business Book of 2025The US is the source of just about all the technologies that define modern life: personal computers, operating systems, smartphones, e-commerce, web browsers, email, search engines, social networks, electric cars and the rest. And most of the tech companies that created and monetized these technologies are also in the US.
In this book Mehran Gul, the winner of the Financial Times/McKinsey Bracken Bower Prize, asks: is that changing?Less than a decade ago, the sentiment towards Chinese tech compa­nies was often dismissive and complacent. Now the alarm bells are ringing. But as the commentariat pontificates how the US-China tech battle will play out, an equally interesting question to ask is: are there more Chinas out there? Places no one is taking seriously now that might turn out to be massively competitive sooner than we think.Samsung, a South Korean conglomerate, competes with Apple to be the world's largest manufacturer of smartphones. Arm, founded in the UK, develops chip designs that are used in more than 90 per cent of all mobile devices. Spotify, based in Sweden, is the most popular music streaming service in the world.That's not all. The world's most important semiconductor company, TSMC, is in Taiwan. The other most important company in the semiconductor industry, ASML, is in the Netherlands. Some of the world's best-known games like Minecraft, Candy Crushand Angry Birdscame from gaming studios in the Nordics. Nearly all the major electric battery manufacturers like CATL, LG, and SK On are in Asia.This is a story about technology and the places where it finds its way into the world. Silicon Valley has for half a century been unrivalled in spinning out technologies and fast-growing, high-value, billion-dollar-plus tech companies, the Apples, Facebooks, Googles of the world, that made it the centre for the most rapid creation of wealth in human history. Its secrets are spreading to more places.The geography of innovation is shifting. The world has a lot more high-value tech companies than ever before, growing a lot faster than ever before, in a lot more places than ever before. This is a book about these places.

Studies in Contemporary Women’s Writing

"This excellent volume-the first book-length study in English on Despentes's writing-is rich, timely and insightful. Schaal's rigorous analysis contextualises Despentes's work carefully in relation to contemporary writing and thought, highlighting its intersections with gender theory, in particular. The book is the fruit of extensive knowledge of Despentes's work across several media and will be of interest to students and scholars in gender studies, literary studies and contemporary cultural studies." (Professor Natalie Edwards, Head of the School of Modern Languages and Professor of Literature in French, University of Bristol) 

"Schaal's academic treatment of Despentes's work manages to maintain the appealing edge of the author's approach while exercising impressive critical astuteness. The book is thoughtfully considered: from the Reflexivity and Positionality Statement that opens the book to the pedagogically minded vast bibliography at the end. Grrrl Writing will appeal to scholars and students interested in Despentes, French feminisms, political fiction, and women writers in an increasingly self-reflexive literary economy." (Anne Brancky, Associate Professor of French and Francophone Studies, Vassar College)

"Schaal offers us a very exhaustive study of Despentes's novels from Baise-moi to Cher connard. The author engages with all current criticism (in French and English) to demonstrate the evolution of the politics and aesthetics of protest that Despentes's novels perform. Questions of social vulnerability and fragility assigned by (sexual or racial) identities are at the center of Schaal's reflections. This book is a must-read if you want to undertake research on the author Despentes and the French feminist protest novel." (Catherine Mavrikakis, Professor, Département des littératures de langue française, Université de Montreal)

When Virginie Despentes (1969) published her provocative debut novel Baise-moi [Rape Me] in 1994, no one could have anticipated how she would gradually become a literary, feminist, and punk icon. This book is the first to adopt a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to Despentes's novels and evolution as an author. 

Using feminist, queer, literary, and punk theories, the book examines how Despentes has developed and refined her Grrrl writing in Baise-moi, Les Chiennes savantes [The Learned Bitches, 1996], and Les Jolies choses [Pretty Things, 1998]. The study specifically illustrates how her unique authorial politics, infused with punk, genre- and genderbending praxes, have provided an acerbic critique of a still largely heteropatriarchal French society. Despentes's Grrrl writing denounces how heteropatriarchy engenders and thrives on injustice and social inequities, but also how conventions at play in classic or populist literary genres can perpetuate oppression as well.

Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage.She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors. Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy.This edition includes an introduction by Dr Sally Minogue.

As the Pequod sails deeper through the nights and into the sea, the divisions between man and nature begin to blur-so do the lines between good and evil, as the fates of the ship's crewmen become increasingly unclear....Melville's classic tale of obsession and the sea, one of the most important and enduring masterworks of nineteenth-century literature is a riveting drama, exploring rage, hope, destiny, and the deepest questions of moral truth.<ul> <li>A BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE WITH FLAPS: Featuring French flaps and a unique vivid cover design, each book in the collection is published as a deluxe trade paperback that is a part of a stunning series look.</li> <li>HARPER COLLINS AMERICAN CLASSICS: This series includes timeless novels, poetry, children's books, and groundbreaking nonfiction that has shaped American thought, literature, and identity across generations.</li> <li>AMERICA'S PUBLISHER: Since its founding in 1817, no American publisher has been so entwined in the history of American letters.

This volume brings together contributions developed within the scope of the first conference of the International Research Network, "Transfictional &amp; Transgeneric."
The thematic framework explores, for instance, the concept of fictional characters and how they are reshaped across narrative genres, with a particular focus on cinema and literature in the 20th and 21st centuries.
The articles presented examine works from a variety of cultural and linguistic contexts, encouraging intermedial dialogue and intercultural reflection. Together, they emphasise the fluidity of the boundaries that the research group aims to explore.
