McFrederick M: Staging Beckett in London

Staging Beckett in London

From seminal actor Lucian Msamati comes a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of working on a major production of one of the most iconic plays ever written - Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.

Behind the Scenes of Beckett's Play

The Godot Diaries

Drawing on theories of everyday life, Tara Thomson explores modernist fiction by women who were afforded new roles and opportunities in a world characterized by social and political change. At the same time the realities of women's everyday lives lagged behind the promises of modernity. Thomson reads the works of Dorothy Richardson, Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, and Elizabeth Bowen to explore the complex position of women with respect to everyday life throughout the interwar years. She focuses particularly on the unique narrative techniques these authors developed to reveal how everyday practices produce and are produced by ideology. Drawing on a substantial body of everyday theory, feminist theory, and the socio-historical contexts of modernism, Thomson's book asks what sustained attention to the everyday can tell us about the feminist aims of modernist fiction.

Faced with a rapidly changing world, modernist authors turned their attention to the mundane details of everyday life, seeking new discourses and techniques to articulate their experiences of modernity.

Modernism, Feminism and Everyday Life

An expert companion to the political and legal issues that led to Brexit, the challenges the UK now faces, possible outcomes of the negotiations, and the implications for the future of the UK and EU.

On 23 June 2016 voters in the United Kingdom voted unexpectedly in favour of departure from the European Union. The United Kingdom left the European Union on 31 January 2020. This book explains these two events, how led to the other, and what may now follow.

Brexit was not inevitable. There may well have not been a referendum in 2016 or at all. The result of the referendum could have gone the other way. The government may have made the exit notification on another date. The European Union and the United Kingdom could have approached the negotiations and withdrawal agreement in other ways. The departure may have been without a deal as early as March 2019 or postponed indefinitely. There was even, at times, the prospect of a further referendum where the Brexit mandate could have perhaps been reversed. It all could have been very different.

The way Brexit did happen was the result of a sequence of events and non-events, any of which could have gone differently. It also took place at a time of significant changes in media and social media, and also in domestic and international politics, all of which shaped the course and manner of the departure. Brexit may not have been inevitable but if Brexit had not happened between 2016 and 2020, it is possible the question of the United Kingdom's place in the European Union could have been forced in other ways.

Brexit also happened against the background of longer-term trends in politics and constitutional arrangements in the UK. Support for membership among mainstream politicians had been wide for fifty years but that consensus turned out to be shallow. The structural changes brought by the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 confined the actions of politicians twenty years later.

On Brexit sets out, in a sequence of interlinked essays, why and how Brexit turned out the way it did and not otherwise, and the text emphasises matters of law, policy and process as much as the course of political events. Brexit cannot be explained by structural and procedural matters but it cannot be fully explained just by politics either. On Brexit also sets out the political, media and constitutional contexts in which Brexit can be better understood.

By understanding how Brexit has so far taken the form it has, one is in a better position for understanding what will happen next, as the United Kingdom and the European negotiate their longer-term relationship.

This book was originally to be published as Brexit: what everyone needs to know

On Brexit

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.

Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature

This book explores the ways in which Latin American writers produced aesthetic and political discourses on World War I as a Latin American literary event. Siskind sheds light on the possibility of understanding World War I not just as a European affair, but also as a privileged symbolic horizon against which some of the most important Latin American writers of that period worked through collective and individual anxieties. This corpus sheds light on the interwoven meaning of the nation, modernity, cosmopolitan ethical demands, and the globalization of mass violence. It proposes productive dialogues and polemics with the fields of war literature and global modernisms.

This book explores the ways in which Latin American poets, novelists, journalists, public intellectuals, and a vast number of unknown soldier-memorialists produced aesthetic and political discourses on World War I as a Latin American literary event. Siskind presents a unified Latin American corpus that sheds light on the possibility of understanding World War I not just as a European affair, but also as a privileged symbolic horizon against which some of the most important Latin American writers of that period worked through collective and individual anxieties. This corpus sheds light on the interwoven meaning of the nation, modernity, cosmopolitan ethical demands, and the globalization of mass violence. The book interrogates wars (and world wars in particular) as they break down and rearrange the spatial meaning of particular world mappings, and how Latin American writers anxious about their place in the universalized order of modernity might have perceived these shifts as an opportunity to negotiate symbolic re-inscriptions of their political and aesthetic horizon. Looking at texts on ruins and trenches, on spies and politics, on everyday life and affective engagements with the traumatic core of the war, this book unveils a historical and literary archive that reconceptualizes and expands the globality of World War I, inscribing Latin American writers in its discursive making. It proposes productive dialogues and polemics with the fields of British, French, and German war literature (whether modernist, moralist, or sentimental), as well as with the emerging critical discourses of postcolonial war literature and global modernisms.

Bloomsbury Ancient Comedy Companions

Plautus' Poenulus (or Little Carthaginian) is a staggering work. Performed in the years after Rome's traumatic struggle with Hannibal's Carthage, the comedy stages the restoration of a Carthaginian family divided through enslavement. This book explores the play's many themes such as slavery and war trauma, which resonate especially today, in a series of short thematic chapters followed by a continuous reading of the play. By presenting to a post-war Roman audience a tale of heartbreak and heartache among Carthaginians, and by setting the action in a Greece marked by comedic expectations and the geography of contemporary imperial conquest, Plautus' play stands as perhaps the most powerful surviving meditation on a Mediterranean world changed by Roman expansion. The play is populated by war veterans, enslaved peoples - including sex-workers, domestic slaves, and those who labour in the countryside - and an intersectional cast of Carthaginians and Greeks, a diversity that prompts audience interaction with a wide range of socio-cultural topics relevant to Plautus' Rome. By engaging weighty matters through song, slapstick, puns, and orientalising spectacle, Poenulus appears to defang charged issues, but its bite is deep. The play also includes one of the most metatheatrical prologues of all surviving Roman dramatic works, which thematizes the act of writing comedy and the constitution of the Roman theatrical audience.

Golden Age Spanish on the Jacobean Stage challenges the received wisdom that, although Fletcher, Massinger, and other Jacobean dramatists drew on Spanish material, their engagement with Spanish literature was limited to exploiting Spanish authors for good plots. Instead, Mary Dudy posits that Fletcher's engagement with Spanish culture was vastly more profound than has previously been recognized; and in fact, that it constitutes a vital, integral element in his dramatic achievement.

Golden Age Spanish on the Jacobean Stage challenges the received wisdom that, although Fletcher, Massinger, and other Jacobean dramatists drew on Spanish material, English playwrights' engagement with Spanish literature was limited to exploiting Spanish authors for good plots.  Instead, Mary Dudy posits that Fletcher's engagement with Spanish culture was vastly more profound than has previously been recognized; and in fact, that it constitutes a vital, integral element in his dramatic achievement.  Her analysis shows that Fletcher's acquaintance with Spanish novels led the playwright to experiment with significantly different ways of handling the main themes of his artistry.    This study explores Fletcher's repeated use of Golden Age Spanish literature, especially Cervantes, in the context of political and cultural factors that rendered England's relationship to Spain more complex than ever during the reign of James I.  Golden Age Spanish on the Jacobean Stage leads inexorably to the conclusion that in order to gain the fullest possible understanding of later English Renaissance drama, we must think through the Spanish question.

An interrogation of the poetry of Mazisi Kunene that places his work in the context of African literature and the richness of the oral tradition, as well as his political activism that connects him to the wider African diaspora.
 
As Africa's foremost epic poet, Mazisi Kunene occupies a unique place in history. In this study, Dike Okoro illuminates the penetrating insights found in Kunene's poetry and the reasons why his art has been considered as masterpieces grounded in geography, history, and culture. He situates Kunene as a theorist who embraces African tradition - including his adoption of izibongo, Zulu praise poetry - and the role of the artist as a chronicler of his people's history, committed to art as a catalyst for change, not justd South Africa but for Africans around the globe.
 
 These essays and interviews address the post-apartheid reality of South Africa and draw from a repository of rich images found in Kunene's poetry to provide examples of depictions of colonial exploitation in Africa; the rootedness of traditional African culture; women and children who bring hope; and art as a way to effect change. They demonstrate Kunene's profound influence on and in world literature, interrogating his work for its style and connections with poetry by Native Americans and other Indigenous literary traditions. 
 
The Epic Poetry of Mazisi Kunene argues that Mazisi Kunene's poetry centers non-human beings (animals and plants), the pristine environment of the olden days, and the cosmology of his Zulu ethnicity, asserting the relevance of his art - in this 21st-century moment of climate crisis - as both a form of activism and a political tool to the African creative writer.

Iron Age Lives provides the first integrated academic treatment of the Iron Age of Britain and Ireland. After considering the social changes that marked the end of the Later Bronze Age, it examines the environmental, economic, demographic and cultural factors that underpinned the emergence of the fragmented and regionalised societies of the Early Iron Age. Subsequent chapters trace the development of increasingly complex and distinctive social forms across Britain and Ireland. Central themes that cut across the book's broadly chronological structure include: the creation and expression of individual and collective identities; the social role of art and religion; changing gender roles; technological innovation, including iron-working and rotary technology; the complex and varied treatments of the dead; gift-giving, trade and exchange; and the role of conflict and violence.

Subsequent chapters trace the development of increasingly complex and distinctive social forms across Britain and Ireland including the hillfort societies of southern England and the Welsh Marches; village communities of the Upper Thames Valley; the dense settlement landscapes, cemeteries and chariot burials of East Yorkshire; the hillfort communities of Northumbria and south-east Scotland; the broch-building societies of Atlantic Scotland; and the ritual landscapes of Iron Age IrelandCentral themes that cut across the book’s broadly chronological structure include: the creation and expression of individual and collective identities; the social role of art and religion; changing gender roles; technological innovation, including iron-working and rotary technology; the complex and varied treatments of the dead; gift-giving, trade and exchange; and the role of conflict and violence. The text is supported throughout by box features expanding on individual sites, objects, themes or debates and the book focuses, where appropriate, on fresh and exciting new finds and discoveries from the last few years including, for example, the well-preserved bog bodies from eastern Ireland, recently excavated chariot burials from Newbridge and Ferry Fryston, Iron Age roads from East Anglia, the Midlands and Ireland, musical instruments from High Pasture Cave in Skye and Cnip in Lewis, the shrine containing gold torcs from Stirlingshire, and the impact of AMS dating on the chronologies of Iron Age art and burial.
