Contemporary Critical Perspectives

Rachel Cusk is one of the most critically acclaimed and controversial contemporary British authors. Her diverse body of work offers a striking portrait of trends in 21st-century literature, and the history of Cusk's literary output is one of experimentation and a desire to push against established cultural models. Rachel Cusk: Contemporary Critical Perspectives is the first critical guide to Cusk's work, spanning novels including Saving Agnes, A Country Life, and Second Place, her 'autofictional' Outline trilogy, and her nonfiction A Life's Work, The Last Supper, Aftermath and the Coventry essays. Rigorous and wide-ranging, this book provides an accessible and lucid introduction to Cusk's work, exploring themes of gender relations, class dynamics, maternal identity and creative freedom. The collection concludes with an in-depth interview with Cusk, conducted by Merve Emre, reflecting on her influences, writing and experiences. Mapping the formal and stylistic shift across her career and locating them within their specific contexts, this collection provides a crucial analysis of Cusk's influences, politics, and literary techniques that speak to many of the most pressing issues in contemporary literature.

Visual Cultures and German Contexts

In what ways can erotica chart the story of a nation in transition? What can it reveal about the discontinuities-and uncomfortable parallels-between the periods of political and economic turmoil that characterize modern German history? The rapid modernization of the German Empire in 1871 led to large-scale transformations in the cultural, social, and political spheres. Exploring a rich diversity of erotic visual art-from paintings and photographs, to postcard and graphic folios-this volume reveals the impact of these changes on the erotic interests of the nation. Exploring various forms of artistic production, reception, and circulation, Erotic Art in Modern Germany argues for the cultural value of erotica in modern Germany. It presents work by both highly regarded and lesser-known artists and explores themes such as legal cultures and the impact of censorship, sexuality and sexual reform, and changing political frameworks, from imperialism to fascism. 10 chapters explore diverse topics, from philological and ethnographic approaches to erotic art, to scientific developments, gender and sexuality. With its holistic, cross-disciplinary approach-drawing from the fields of anthropology, film theory, Marxism, feminism, and trans- and queer theories-the book complicates simplistic understandings of 'modern' erotica and powerfully underlines its enduring significance as a site of dissent and experimentation.

Erotic Art in Modern Germany

Oxford World's Classics

'Hans Castorp filled his lungs with the pure mountain air--this fresh, light atmosphere that was so easy to inhale and held no scent of moisture, no content, no memories...' Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain (1924) is a social comedy with tragic overtones, providing a portrait of Europe in the first decades of the twentieth century. The novel recounts how an apparently simple North German engineer, Hans Castorp, comes to a tuberculosis sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland, intending to visit his sick cousin, and ends up staying for seven years. He matures intellectually and emotionally, encountering love and death amid a cast of vivid characters who are portrayed with Dickensian humour and sophisticated irony, until he is jerked out of his torpor by the outbreak of the First World War. This translation is accompanied by an accessible introduction by Ritchie Robertson, and detailed notes explaining the many cultural and historical references in the text. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

"Jodie Marley’s William Blake’s Mysticism takes us on an exuberant journey of spiritualities, ranging from Dorothy Gott, the prophetic writer he encountered in 1789, to “Fiona Macleod,” the visionary identity of W.B. Yeats’s friend, William Sharp". — David Worrall, Nottingham Trent University, UK.
This book examines William Blake as a ‘mystic’ and the movements and authors that contributed to this definition during and after his lifetime, with a particular focus on his influence on late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Celtic Modernist writers. The author W. B. Yeats was one of the first to present this view of Blake in depth, although his concept of the mystic prioritised the lone male practitioner and the occult. This study argues that the mystic and the esoteric in a community context impacted both Blake’s, and Yeats’, critical and cultural reception. It also offers the first extended literary examination of the Romantic prophet Dorothy Gott’s work alongside Blake’s, and the first analysis of Blake’s influence on Celtic Modernist writers George Russell and Fiona Macleod. This book will be of interest to scholars interested in representations of gender and spirituality in Romantic and Modernist literature and art, and in authors so far neglected in Blake studies.
Jodie Marley is a researcher and writer whose work focuses on Romanticism, reception, mysticism, and gender. Her research bridges the Romantic and Modernist periods, with a particular focus on Irish Modernism. She is a 2025 visiting research fellow at the University of Glasgow’s Archives and Special Collections and won a British Association for Romantic Studies (BARS) Stephen Copley Award to fund her research in December 2024.

She has forthcoming book chapters in The Routledge Companion to William Blake&nbsp;(ed. Freeman) and&nbsp;Seán O’Casey in Context&nbsp;(ed. Moran). She has previously been published in&nbsp;the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library,&nbsp;VALA, and&nbsp;Good Horoscope. Two of her talks for the Global Blake initiative are publicly available. In 2019 she co-curated the Romantic Facts and Fantasies exhibition at Lakeside Arts, Nottingham, and helped organise the 2019 BARS conference.
