Routledge Research in American Literature and Culture

The Rise of Sensationalism in American Literature and Culture: 1620-1860 argues that the rise of the American tradition of sensationalism can be better understood in the transatlantic context.

This book discusses the full sweep of the work of J. Hillis Miller, a great critic and theorist, from his earliest writing to his death in 2021 on poetry, fiction, drama, fiction, non-fiction - and Miller's preference for close and careful reading of individual literary and critical works over abstract theory.

J. Hillis Miller and the Play of Literature

This book offers the analysis of a selection of North American texts that dismantle and resist normative frames through the resignification of concepts such as unhappiness, failure or vulnerability. It highlights how those potentially negative elements can be refigured as ambivalent sites of resistance and social bonding.

This is the first book of its kind to provide an analysis of the representation of Jews in American war novels throughout the long twentieth century.

A literary and, to a lesser degree, socio-political, history of America, from its indigenous past to 2026, the book offers the reader a great deal of information about America, understood not merely as the domain of one nation but as a giant, hemispheric complex, one full of fascinating interactions and relationships.

This first full-length scholarly treatment of award-winning poet Jane Hirshfield's work covers format and structure; three approaches to the poetry; Zen and the problem of desire; Hirshfield's response to the more-than-human world and her warnings to humanity not to ignore the ecological crisis; belonging, loss, and the comfort of poetry.

It explores the manner in which Don DeLillo's characters experience technocultural everyday decade after decade. The changing technoculture is resisted at times by the characters, it points out to a transitional mode of being. This state does not dehumanize DeLillo's characters as much as reveals their humanity in the postmodern world

Humor and Masculinity in U.S. Fiction offers a pragmatic and theoretically informed model for analyzing how humor and gender intersect in key U.S. texts, bringing much needed attention to the complex ways that humor can both support and subvert masculine codes and behaviors in American literature, culture, and thought.

This book interrogates the discontinuous ripples of postmodernism within post-Cold War American literature and culture. The persistence of postmodern aesthetics within this period of succession underpins a reframing of what it means to come 'after' postmodernism, foregrounding an overlooked strand of American writing.

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.

Considering the most recent scholarship on early modern English women writers, memorialisation discourses, and textual evocations of female subjectivity, this study brings together a radical evocation of otherness that serves to challenge the dominant political, religious and social discourses of the day. Focusing especially on writers Mary Sidney Herbert, Elizabeth Cary, Mary Wroth and Aphra Behn, Marion Wynne-Davies offers a new way of understanding female identity in the English Renaissance.

Drawing upon modern theoretical precepts and presenting new research on tombs of English women writers from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, this study investigates the ways in which early modern women writers construct and are constructed by discourses of mortality.  Marion Wynne-Davies analyses how women wrote about mortality, how they 'staged' death, how they were written about when they died and the construction of their tombs as a final statement of public gender roles.  Each chapter focuses upon a key women writer from the period”Mary Sidney Herbert, Elizabeth Cary, Mary Wroth and Aphra Behn”to present a new way of understanding female identity in the English Renaissance.  In each example, Wynne-Davies presents her research on the woman writer's tomb in order to explore the parallels and contrasts between how the writers constructed themselves and how they were constructed after death. Engaging with the theoretical approaches and undertaking research on texts and monuments, this book explores memorialisation in order to demonstrate that death is essential to our understanding of the subjectivity of women writers in early modern England.    Considering the most recent scholarship on early modern English women writers, memorialisation discourses, and textual evocations of female subjectivity, this study brings together a radical evocation of otherness that serves to challenge the dominant political, religious and social discourses of the day.

Looking beyond Don Quixote and the popular theater, this study brings together non-canonical works from Spanish and Spanish American colonial writers in diverse genres, to illustrate the multi-faceted possibilities and the cultural limitations of representations of mothers and mothering in this period.

A provocative letter from a prominent eighteenth-century British noblewoman, Henrietta Howard, to her close friend Mary Hervey is a rare survivor of the informal, collaborative satires created by court women in this period. This particular June 1729 artifact contains a witty and light-hearted list of imaginary portraits, most of which refer to a notable political figure through references to specific paintings, sculptures, engravings, ceramics, textiles and book illustrations. Through a close reading of archival manuscripts, published correspondences and art historical treatises, Eric Weichel explores the cultural milieu and historical legacy of this remarkable text. Constrained by strict standards of moral propriety, the writer's overt discussions of sexuality in this letter are encoded through a system of embedded jokes and mythological references. Weichel argues that through Lady Hervey's mention of popular works of art, such as the Hampton Court tapestry cartoons by Raphael, the 'Jupiter and Ganymede' motif in country house décor, or the illustrated fables of Jean de La Fontaine, she alludes specifically to her wider circle's knowledge of adultery, queerness, sexual violence, and divorce among their peer group. In her imaginary portraits, Hervey also shows an interest in feminist education and literature, political and religious patronage, and contemporary news events.

Focusing on a category of poems from the Modernist and contemporary periods which give agency to nonhuman beings and texts themselves, Sarah Bouttier puts form, often neglected within ecocriticism, at the center of the definition of ecopoetics. Grounding ecopoetics in posthumanist ontologies (new materialism, flat ontology and Latour's work on agency), Bouttier explores how the poems collapse the human/nonhuman divide and re-instil wonder at the natural world. By juxtaposing readings of Modernist poets such as D. H. Lawrence, Wallace Stevens and Marianne Moore with contemporary poets such as Les Murray, Pattiann Rogers, Alice Oswald and Kathleen Jamie, the book provides fresh insight into well-known works and offers a new perspective on contemporary ecopoetry.
