Pan Macmillan A Curious Invitation
Book SynopsisSince ancient times human beings have gathered together for social purposes. And since not very long after that writers have written about these occasions. The party is a useful literary device, not only for social comment and satire, but as an occasion where characters can meet, fall in love, fall out or even get murdered. A Curious Invitation features forty of the greatest fictional festivities. Some of these parties are depictions of real events, like the Duchess of Richmond’s Ball on the eve of battle with Napoleon in Thackeray’s Vanity Fair; others draw on the author’s experience of the society they lived in, such as Lady Metroland’s party in Evelyn Waugh’s Vile Bodies; while yet others come straight from the writer’s bizarre imagination, like Douglas Adams’ flying party above an unknown planet from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

McFarland & Co Inc The Spark of Modernism
Book Synopsis Between the years of 1886 and 1939, the world saw the first automobiles, rapid urbanization, the decay of empires, vast economic inequality, the first airplanes and the terrifying secrets of the atom. It was a time of cataclysmic cultural and technological transformation, and spawned the rise of the literary genres of science fiction, fantasy and horror. This work assembles gems of late nineteenth and early twentieth century genre literature, including stories by such literary giants as H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, C. L. Moore, A. Merritt and E. M. Forster, as well as smaller authors like Clare Winger Harris, Marie Corelli, William Hope Hodgson and others. An array of incisive nonfiction pieces on cultural and scientific advances of the time period provides a context for the anthology''s stories.Trade ReviewAn excellent anthology for a number of reasons: the spread of stories and authors draws from seemingly disparate backgrounds, but in a way that cuts across generic markers which have become a bit too pat. Here we have science fiction, horror, and fantasy presented together, rather than rolled back into their now conventional stalls; the arbitrary divides between 'popular' and 'literary' fiction are questioned by way of the editors' discussion of the work in terms of Modernism. For course use, this anthology would be great in both genre and general fiction contexts. But most importantly, it is a great collection of stories, some fairly common, but many less well known."—Jamie Williamson, author of The Evolution of Modern Fantasy: From Antiquarianism to the Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series"The Spark of Modernism explores how turn-of-the-century American and British speculative authors used tales of other worlds and times as funhouse mirrors to engage some of the most pressing scientific and social issues of their day—many of which are still with us in the contemporary moment. Editors Bill Gillard, James Reitter, and Robert Stauffer have curated a lively and comprehensive volume that features science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories by genre luminaries alongside pieces from writers more often thought of as scientists, philosophers, political activists, and journalists. Complete with detailed biographies that make the authors and their works come alive for modern audiences, this book is a must-read for science fiction scholars and fans alike. Highly Recommended!"—Lisa Yaszek, Regents Professor of Science Fiction Studies at Georgia Tech"A wonderful, indeed sense-of-wonder-full, collection of classic speculative fiction: some famous pieces, some less well known to day, but all brilliantly readable and illuminating. There's not a dud in the whole. Not only is this anthology a delight to read, it also establishes a fascinating and original throughline into Modernism as such, reframing how we think about that movement. Highly recommended."—Adam Roberts, author of The History of Science Fiction"Editors Gillard, Reitter, and Stauffer should be commended for assembling an anthology that offers a fresh look at an important era in the history of science fiction and fantasy. In addition to classic stories by W. E. B. Du Bois, E. M. Forster, and Rudyard Kipling...their collection is both enlightening and entertaining"—Gary Westfahl, author of The Rise and Fall of American Science Fiction, from the 1920s to the 1960sTable of Contents Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction"The Comet" by W.E.B.

Open Road Media The Thing in the Stone: And Other Stories
Book SynopsisA mind-opening collection of short science fiction from one of the genre’s most revered Grand Masters. Legendary author Robert A. Heinlein proclaimed, “To read science fiction is to read Simak. A reader who does not like Simak stories does not like science fiction at all.” The remarkably talented Clifford D. Simak was able to ground his vast imagination in reality, and then introduce readers to fantastical worlds and concepts they could instantly and completely dig into, comprehend, and enjoy. In the title story, a man’s newfound ability to walk in the past allows him to dwell among dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers . . . and something even more timeless. In “Construction Shack,” the first manned expedition to Pluto reveals that no matter how advanced aliens may be, even they don’t always get everything right. And in “Univac 2200,” the thin line between humans creating technology and humans becoming technology is about to be crossed—and there may be no going back. Each story includes an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor of the Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this ebook. Trade ReviewPraise for Clifford D. Simak “Like Olaf Stapledon and SF’s later mystics, Simak could dream on a grand scale. . . . Thoreau or Wordsworth would feel at home in his isolated houses rooted in natural landscapes.” —Locus “Simak is the most underrated great science fiction writer alive, and has never written a bad book.” —Theodore Sturgeon “I read [Simak’s] stories with particular attention, and I couldn’t help but notice the simplicity and directness of the writing—the utter clarity of it. I made up my mind to imitate it, and I labored over the years to make my writing simpler, clearer, more uncluttered, to present my scenes on a bare stage.” —Isaac Asimov “Without Simak, science fiction would have been without its most humane element, its most humane spokesman for the wisdom of the ordinary person and the value of life lived close to the land.” —James Gunn

Hodder & Stoughton Gifts of Gravity and Light
Book Synopsis 'A generous book, offering the small stories - of childhood, family, place, of growth and falling away and regrowth - that enable the big connections with the flow of the world.' - Mark Goldthorpe, Climate Cultures'A meander through the seasons that is filled with lyrical gifts and new ways of seeing the world. This is new nature writing - as diverse, original and ceaselessly surprising as the wild world it celebrates.' Patrick Barkham, Natural History correspondent for The Guardian and author of Islander, Badgerlands, The Butterfly Isles and Wild Child: Coming Home to Nature.'A wonderfully diverse collection of poetry and long-form prose, celebrating the four seasons of the year in a fresh and ultimately life-affirming way.' Stephen Moss'These essays urgently reimagine what nature writing can be-and whose stories belong in that canon. Gifts of Gravity and Light is generous, unsentimental, and bursting with talented voices that will shape this genre for decades to come.' Jessica J. Lee, author of Two Trees Make a Forest and Turning, and editor of The Willowherb Review***'I learned something new from each enjoyable essay and by the end realised that nature is integral to how we live on this planet, not a subsidiary to life, but at the heart of it.' - Bernardine EvaristoThe changing seasons of the year are an endless source of strangeness and wonder. Gifts of Gravity and Light invites you to experience Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter through fourteen different voices. Greet the arrival of spring in East London with a Cambodian new year's dance; watch sea otters at play in the summer sun; gather armfuls of hops in a Romany song to the autumn; yield to the icy stillness of winter in the Cairngorms or pine for 'sun drunk' days of a Jamaican childhood.With a foreword by Bernardine Evaristo and contributions from Jackie Kay, Kaliane Bradley, Pippa Marland, Testament, Michael Malay, Tishani Doshi, Jay Griffiths, Luke Turner, Anita Roy, Raine Geoghegan, Zakiya McKenzie, Alys Fowler, Amanda Thomson and Simon Armitage, this almanac reflects not only the diversity of the writers featured, but the endlessly changing natural world itself.Trade ReviewThis is a generous book, offering the small stories - of childhood, family, place, of growth and falling away and regrowth - that enable the big connections with the flow of the world. * Climate Cultures *

Broadview Press Ltd The Broadview Anthology of Literature of the
Book SynopsisThe selections from 132 authors in this anthology represent gender, social class, and racial and national origin as inclusively as possible, providing both greater context for canonical works and a sense of the era's richness and diversity. In terms of genre, poetry, non-fiction prose, philosophy, educational writing, and prose fiction are included. Geographically, America, Canada, Australia, India, and Africa are represented along with Britain, emphasizing Romantic literature as a world literature. Biographical headnotes, explanatory footnotes, and an extensive bibliography clarify and illuminate the texts for readers.Trade Review“This is a massive, impressive collection that both challenges and guides us to see the literature of the period in its most vital, revolutionary context. By featuring and appropriately balancing the canonical and the obscure and much in between, this anthology reminds us that it is the diversity of the writers of the age that, more than anything else, stirs and astounds us.” — G. Kim Blank, University of Victoria“This anthology provides an exciting, innovative, global approach to the study of what has been called the “Romantic” period. Poetry, prose, and criticism by canonical writers are presented along with texts by labouring-class women, journalists, slaves, and political thinkers from Britain, America, Canada, Africa, India, and Australia. Focusing on revolution and politics, editors D.L. MacDonald and Anne McWhir provide teachers and students with rich, historicized and intertextual contexts with which to study familiar and lesser-known authors. Intelligently conceived, containing a diverse range of works and a useful bibliography, The Broadview Anthology of Literature of the Revolutionary Period is a welcome addition to this often contested and fascinating field.” — Eleanor Ty, Wilfrid Laurier UniversityTable of ContentsEDITORIAL PREFACEBENJAMIN FRANKLIN (1706 — 1790) from Two Tracts: Information to Those Who Would Remove to America.

Broadview Press Ltd Secret Commissions: An Anthology of Victorian
Book SynopsisLurid, controversial, and vulnerable to accusations of titillation or rabble-rousing, the works of Victorian investigative journalism collected here nonetheless brought unseen suffering into the light of day. Even today their exposure has the power to shock. As one investigator promised, “The Report of our Secret Commission will be read to-day with a shuddering horror that will thrill throughout the world.”Secret Commissions brings together nineteen key documents of Victorian investigative journalism. Their authors range from well-known writers such as Charles Dickens, Henry Mayhew, and W.T. Stead to now-forgotten names such as Hugh Shimmin, Elizabeth Banks, and Olive Malvery. Collectively, they show how unsparing descriptions of social injustice became regular features of English journalism long before the advent of American-style “muckraking.” The reports address topics as varied as child abuse, animal cruelty, juvenile prostitution, sweat-shops, slums, gypsies, abortion, infanticide, and other controversial social issues. The collection features detailed chapter introductions, original illustrations, a historical overview of investigative reporting in the nineteenth-century press, and suggestions for further reading.Trade Review“This is a book full of amazing stuff—Victorian in its facts, but contemporary in its themes. Great reporters doing great stories.” — Nick Davies, investigative reporter, The Guardian“A superbly annotated anthology that establishes without doubt the origins of modern investigative journalism in the mid- to late-nineteenth-century press. Stephen Donovan and Matthew Rubery’s selection of articles from the late 1840s to the turn of the century makes compelling reading, demonstrating the innovative techniques of the journalists and the shocking nature of their exposés.” — Joanne Shattock, Emeritus Professor of Victorian Literature, University of Leicester“As this collection of specimens of investigative journalism convincingly illustrates, ‘More is required of the Investigative reporter than sightseeing’! Donovan and Rubery’s thoughtful and provocative introduction is full of fresh perspectives and links to provide an historical and critical context for what follows: a rich cornucopia of examples from across the period and press—dailies, popular weeklies, and monthly reviews, in which a developing definition of fact-based and witness-based journalism may be gleaned.” — Laurel Brake, Professor Emerita of Literature and Print Culture, Birkbeck, University of LondonTable of ContentsList of IllustrationsAcknowledgementsIntroductionA Note on Money ANGUS REACH, “Labour and the Poor: The Manufacturing Districts” (1849) HENRY MAYHEW, “Labour and the Poor: The Metropolitan Districts” (1849) CHARLES DICKENS, “A Sleep to Startle Us” (1852) HUGH SHIMMIN, “Liverpool Life” (1856) JOHN HOLLINGSHEAD, “London Horrors” (1861) MARY CARPENTER, “On the Treatment of Female Convicts” (1863) JAMES GREENWOOD, “A Night in a Workhouse” (1866) “A.B.,” “Baby Farming” (1870) HENRY LABOUCHERE, “Inside Newgate” (1872) J.

Broadview Press Ltd Glances Backward: An Anthology of American
Book SynopsisGlances Backward brings together in one volume a broad selection of nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century American writings about gay male love, including love stories, Westerns, ghostly tales, poetry, drama, essays, letters, and memoirs.Many of these works, such as The Cult of the Purple Rose, the story of a gay alliance at 1890s Harvard, are reprinted here for the first time since their original publication. Henry Blake Fuller’s “Allisonian Classical Academy” has until now been available only in manuscript form.In addition to works by lesser-known authors, selections by Henry James, Herman Melville, Walt Whitman, Horatio Alger, Jr., Jack London, and Willa Cather are included.Trade Review“Glances Backward breaks new ground in gay studies. The anthology explores the full range of writing about gay males from before the Civil War to just after the First World War. In its treatment of largely unknown and inaccessible texts—from overwrought expressions of romantic friendship to modern diatribes against homosexuals as poor insurance risks—it offers the best scholarly introduction to the period when homosexuality was just finding its voice. It is a landmark text, necessary not only for queer scholars but for any student of American literature.” — David Van Leer, University of California, Davis“This is an astonishing array of writing about same-sex relations. James Gifford is a scholar who leaves no archival page unturned, and he has put together an anthology that all readers can turn to for discovery, delight, and a deeper appreciation of American history and culture.” — David Bergman, Towson University“A recognizably ‘gay’ American culture is a lot older, and a lot richer, than we thought—and here is the archive to prove it! This anthology brings together for the first time the major and minor voices of queer American literature, who together represent an astonishing range of experience, hope, and desire.” — Eric Savoy, Universite de MontrealTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionPart I: THE INTERSEXESEdward Prime-StevensonFrom “Out of the Sun” (1913)From The Intersexes (1908)Part II: Two-Spirit PeopleSlim CurlyFrom “The Mothway Myth” (recorded 1930)John TannerFrom A Narrative of the Captivity and Adventures of John Tanner (1830)George Catlin“Dance to the Berdashe” (1844)Part III: Luck, Pluck, and a Kindly MentorWalt Whitman“The Child’s Champion” (1841)Selected PoemsHoratio Alger, Jr.From Charlie Codman’s Cruise (1866)Harry EntonFrom Young Sleuth, the Keen Detective (1877)Howard PyleFrom The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (1883)Part IV: SchooldaysFrederick Wadsworth LoringFrom Two College Friends (1871)Henry Blake FullerFrom The Allisonian Classical Academy (1876)Charles Macomb FlandrauFrom Harvard Episodes (1897)Shirley Everton JohnsonFrom The Cult of the Purple Rose (1902)Part V: The Oscar ModelAnonymous“Wilde in Utica” (1882)Earl Lind“The Case of Oscar Wilde” (1918)Part VI: ArcadiaBayard TaylorFrom Poems of the Orient (1855)From The Poet’s Journal (1863)From Joseph and His Friend (1870)Charles Warren Stoddard“Pearl-Hunting in the Pomotous” (1873)Henry James“The Great Good Place” (1909)Part VII: The Domestic HomosexualHoward Overing-SturgisFrom Belchamber (1905)George SantayanaFrom Persons and Places (1986)Part VIII: HauntedHenry Blake FullerAt St. Judas’s (1896)Gertrude Atherton“The Striding Place” (1896)George Sylvester ViereckFrom Nineveh and Other Poems (1908)From The Candle and the Flame (1912)Part IX: Purloined Popular FictionBret Harte“Tennessee’s Partner” (1869)“Jim” (1870)Thomas Bailey Aldrich“Marjorie Daw” (1873)Henry Cuyler Bunner“Our Aromatic Uncle” (1895)Edward Prime-StevensonFrom Mrs. Dee’s Encore (1896)Jack London“The White Silence” (1899)James Weldon JohnsonFrom The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man (1912)Edward Prime-Stevenson“Aquae Multae Non—” (1913)Part X: Of Hearts Thrown OpenFitz-Greene HalleckSelected PoemsJames Whitcomb Riley“Good-Bye, Jim” (1893)Bliss Carman and Richard HoveyFrom Songs from Vagabondia (1894)Edward Perry WarrenFrom Itamos (1903)George Edward WoodberryFrom Selected PoemsTrumbull StickneySelected PoemsGeorge Cabot LodgeFrom Poems and Dramas (1911)George SantayanaSelected PoemsPart XI: Doctors, Case Studies, and ErotopathsJames Mills PeirceFrom Sexual Inversion “Letter from ‘Professor X’” (1897)Claude HartlandFrom The Story of a Life (1901)Willa Cather“Paul’s Case: A Study in Temperament” (1905)William Lee Howard“Effeminate Men and Masculine Women” (1900)“The Sexual Pervert in Life Insurance” (1906)Earl LindFrom The Autobiography of an Androgyne (1918)Part XII: Men in GroupsJosiah Flynt WillardHomosexuality Among Tramps (1897)Morris SchaffFrom The Spirit of Old West Point (1907)Alexander BerkmanFrom Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist (1912)Part XIII: To You AloneHerman MelvilleTwo Letters to Nathaniel Hawthorne (1851)Francis Davis MilletLetters to Charles Warren Stoddard (1875)Bernard X.“A Merry Christmas” (1887)Clyde FitchLetter to DeWitt Miller (1891)George Sylvester ViereckLetter to George E.

Broadview Press Ltd Popular Plays by Women in the Restoration and
Book SynopsisThis anthology offers a selection of popular dramatic works by female playwrights from Aphra Behn in the 1670s through Hannah Cowley in the later eighteenth century. These plays were successful as plays of their time, not just as plays by women, together providing evidence that women dramatists often managed better than their male counterparts to please diverse audiences, who were notoriously fickle as well as predisposed to oppose them. Accessible to both graduates and undergraduates, Popular Plays by Women shows how these playwrights captured audiences through wit, social awareness, and dramatic dexterity.As well as including the prologues and epilogues of the four plays presented, this anthology provides additional materials in which female playwrights discuss the prejudices and special difficulties they face. Trade Review“Showcasing the diverse talents of Restoration and eighteenth-century women playwrights, Popular Plays by Women makes available to modern readers works that held the stage for decades. The collection is unique in including afterpieces and satirical farces as well as comedies, works rarely read today but essential elements in theater as experienced during this time. Popular Plays by Women helps us see these writers as successful professionals in the world of the theater. Racy, funny, and sometimes downright bizarre, these plays are a delight to read and represent an exciting new resource for teachers of eighteenth-century drama and women’s literature.” — Jean I. Marsden, University of Connecticut“Many classes in drama, gender studies, and seventeenth-and eighteenth-century literature need intelligently-selected modern collections such as this edition of plays and dramatic commentary by women. Tanya Caldwell is an excellent guide to these works: her introduction and editorial apparatus locate the plays precisely in their theatrical contexts and connect the women’s struggles as writers and as subjects in their times. Her focus on popular plays by women reminds us not only that women were important innovators as performers but also that—against all odds—they helped influence generic change.” — Cheryl Wanko, West Chester University of PennsylvaniaTable of ContentsCONTENTSACKNOWLEDGEMENTSINTRODUCTIONAphra Behn, The Emperor of the Moon (1687)Susanna Centlivre, The Gamester (1705)Catherine Clive, The Rehearsal; or, Bays in Petticoats (1753)by Noel ChevalierHannah Cowley, The Runaway (1776)THE EMPEROR OF THE MOONTHE GAMESTERTHE REHEARSAL; OR, BAYS IN PETTICOATS.EDITED BY NOEL CHEVALIERTHE RUNAWAYA MISCELLANY OF CRITICISM BY WOMENDRAMATISTS Aphra Behn, Epistle to the Reader,The Dutch Lover: A Comedy (1673) Aphra Behn, Prologue, The Forced Marriage;Or, The Jealous Bridegroom (1670) Aphra Behn, Preface, The Luckey Chance;Or, An Alderman’s Bargain (1686) Aphra Behn, “To the Reader,” Sir Patient Fancy (1678) Aphra Behn, Epilogue, Sir Patient Fancy (1678) Delariviere Manley, Preface, The Lost Lover;Or, The Jealous Husband: A Comedy (1696) Delariviere Manley, “To the Author of Agnes de Castro” (1696) Catharine Trotter, Prologue, Agnes de Castro: A Tragedy (1696) Susanna Centlivre, Dedication,The Platonick Lady: A Comedy (1707) Mary Leapor, “Upon Her Play being returned to her,stained with Claret” (1751) Select Bibliography

Broadview Press Ltd Concert of Voices: An Anthology of World Writing
Book SynopsisConcert of Voices combines poetry, fiction, drama, and essays in an anthology of world literature in English. This second edition preserves the first edition’s breadth and its balance of established and less widely known authors, while including a large selection of exciting new material. Biographical information and explanatory notes have been updated and expanded, and new pieces by Cyril Dabydeen, Vikram Seth, Wole Soyinka, Pauline Johnson, Rudy Wiebe, and many other authors have been added.Trade Review“A significant improvement to the original 1995 edition, the updated and expanded version of Victor J. Ramraj’s Concert of Voices remains my favorite collection of this kind. Few critics have a better grasp of the vast and quickly evolving field for whose mapping—Ramraj was so right in the introduction to the first edition and is even more right today—‘postcolonial’ and the concepts and paradigms usually swirling around it have become largely insufficient. Concert of Voices is no longer an ‘alternative’ to other volumes of this sort but the anthology of world writing in English for the global-age, transnational, twenty-first century. Comprehensive, eminently teachable, and a great pedagogical resource overall, the volume really lives up to its title.” — Christian Moraru, University of North Carolina, Greensboro“This second edition takes the most classroom-friendly anthology of world writing in English and makes it even more so by adding more essays and memoirs, extending biographical notes and explanatory footnotes, and underscoring familiar postcolonial themes such as in-betweenness, writing back, and mimicry. A good blend of human commonalities and, in Northrop Frye’s words, ‘loyalty to one’s place in the class structure,’ this book is vital for contemporary literature studies.” — John C. Hawley, Santa Clara University; editor of Postcolonial, Queer: Theoretical Intersections (SUNY Press)“Concert of Voices is an impressively varied selection of first-rate writing from around the colonized and postcolonial world. Encouraging readers to see the shared commonalities of human experience across diverse literary and cultural traditions—from Maori to Guyanese, Nigerian to Sri Lankan—Victor J. Ramraj deftly juxtaposes works on similar themes and suggests rewarding comparative analyses. This concert features the frisson of dissonance as well as the pleasures of harmony; it will get students tuning in to the voices of the world and wanting to hear more.” — John Clement Ball, University of New BrunswickTable of ContentsChinua Achebe (Nigeria) Girls at War (story)Ama Ata Aidoo (Ghana) No Sweetness Here (story)Meena Alexander (India-USA) Port Sudan (poem)Agha Shahid Ali (India-USA) Snowmen (poem)Lillian Allen (Jamaica-Canada) Rub A Dub Style Inna Regent Park (poem)Mulk Raj Anand (India) Duty (story) Jean Arasanayagam (Sri Lanka) I Have No Country (poem) Louise Bennett (Jamaica) Anancy an Ticks (folk tale) Neil Bissoondath (Trinidad-Canada) Man as Plaything, Life as Mockery (story)Dionne Brand (Trinidad-Canada) Return (poem) Amelia (poem)Edward Kamau Brathwaite (Barbados) Red Rising (poem)Dennis Brutus (South Africa) By the Waters of Babylon (poem)Buhkwujjenene (Canada) Nanaboozhoo Creates the World (folk tale)Willi Chen (Trinidad) Assam's Iron Chest (story)Marlyn Chin (Hong Kong-USA) Elegy for Chloe Nguyen (1955-1988) (poem)Austin Clarke (Barbados-Canada) The Man (story)Wilkie Collins (UK) A Sermon for Sepoys (essay)Saros Cowasjee (India-Canada) His Father's Medals (story)Rienzi Crusz (Sri Lanka-Canada) Roots (poem) In the Idiom of the Sun (poem)Fred D'Aguiar (Guyana-UK) Home (poem) A Son in Shadow (Memoir/Essay)Cyril Dabydeen (Guyana-Canada) Mother (poem)David Dabydeen (Guyana-UK) Catching Crabs (poem) The New Poetry (poem)Kamala Das (India) An Introduction (poem) The Looking Glass (poem)Jack Davis (Australia) White Fantasy—Black Fact (story) Pay Back (story)Anita Desai (India) Surface Textures (story)Eunice de Souza (India) Catholic Mother (poem) Return (poem)Nissim Ezekiel (India) In India (poem)Lorna Goodison (Jamaica) Survivor (poem) Lesson Learned from the Royal Primer (poem)Nadine Gordimer (South Africa) Is There Nowhere Else Where We Can Meet?

Broadview Press Ltd Gothic Evolutions: Poetry, Tales, Context, Theory
Book SynopsisThe texts in this unique collection range from the Gothic Revival of the late eighteenth century through to the late Victorian gothic, and from the poetry of Wordsworth and Coleridge to the short fiction of H.G. Wells and Henry James. Genres represented include medievalist poetry, psychological thrillers, dark political dystopias, sinister tales of social corruption, and popular ghost tales.In addition to a wide selection of classic and lesser-known texts from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Gothic Evolutions includes key examples of the aesthetic, scientific, and cultural theory related to the Gothic, from John Locke and David Hume to Sigmund Freud and Julia Kristeva.Trade Review“Corinna Wagner’s capacious anthology brings together, like no other competing volume, a fresh and truly invigorating selection of Gothic tales, poetry, short stories, fragments, and dramas. Across its exciting range of primary texts, the anthology attests to the richness, diversity, longevity, and adaptability of the Gothic mode. Each of the collection’s featured writers is carefully introduced, glossed, and contextualized, while the anthology as a whole is supported by a rigorous and scholarly editorial framework, including a thematic guide, a detailed chronology, illustrations, suggestions for further reading, and several invaluable appendices of relevant historical and theoretical material. Wagner’s anthology contributes powerfully to existing scholarly debates while also providing an accessible introduction to Gothic studies. As important a resource for the student as for the established researcher, Gothic Evolutions is set to become a benchmark volume in the field.” — Dale Townshend, University of Stirling“Corinna Wagner’s wonderfully rich compendium of poems and tales could easily serve as the single textbook for a survey of the Gothic. Familiar poems and tales are freshly contextualized, both historically and thematically, and the collection also includes a number of unexpected pleasures from lesser-known authors. The appendices provide generous excerpts from the later-modern political philosophy, aesthetic theory, and social medicine that influenced the Gothic, as well as more recent theoretical approaches to the genre. Wagner’s lucid introduction examines the origins of Gothic literature in medievalism and faux-medievalism, and tracks its evolving but always ambivalent relationship to its own times. Gothic Evolutions is an exciting new resource for teachers and scholars of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Gothic, and indeed for all who love the genre.” — Kelly Hurley, University of Colorado at BoulderTable of ContentsIllustrationsA Thematic Guide to the AnthologyAcknowledgementsIntroductionA Chronology of Major Social, Political, Literary, and Cultural Events, 1742–1918A Note on the TextsThomas Gray“Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” (1751)Charlotte Smith“Sonnet XII” (1784)“Sonnet XLIV” (1784–97)“Sonnet LXVII” (1784–97)“Sonnet LXX” (1784–97)Marquis de Sade“The Pimp Well Served” (c. 1787)William Wordsworth“The Thorn” (1798)Samuel Taylor Coleridge“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” (1798; 1800 version)“Christabel” (1816)Sir Walter Scott“The Fire-King” (1801)“Ancient Gaelic Melody” (1819)George Gordon, Lord Byron“The Giaour: A Fragment of a Turkish Tale” (1813)E.T.A.

Broadview Press Ltd The Broadview Anthology of British Literature:
Book SynopsisIn all six of its volumes The Broadview Anthology of British Literature presents British literature in a truly distinctive light. Fully grounded in sound literary and historical scholarship, the anthology takes a fresh approach to many canonical authors, and includes a wide selection of work by lesser-known writers. The anthology also provides wide-ranging coverage of the worldwide connections of British literature, and it pays attention throughout to issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. It includes comprehensive introductions to each period, providing in each case an overview of the historical and cultural as well as the literary background. It features accessible and engaging headnotes for all authors, extensive explanatory annotations, and an unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials. Innovative, authoritative and comprehensive, The Broadview Anthology of British Literature has established itself as a leader in the field.The full anthology comprises six bound volumes, together with an extensive website component; the latter has been edited, annotated, and designed according to the same high standards as the bound book component of the anthology, and is accessible by using the passcode obtained with the purchase of one or more of the bound volumes.For the second edition of this volume a considerable number of changes have been made. Henry Fielding’s Tragedy of Tragedies has been added, as has a new section of material from eighteenth-century periodicals. A new Contexts section entitled “Transatlantic Currents” includes writings by such figures as Paine, Franklin, and Price, as well as material on the slave trade. The Contexts sections on “Town and Country” and on “Mind and God, Faith and Science” have also been expanded; a variety of writings on the Royal Society and other scientific matters have been added to the latter. Additional chapters from Equiano’s Interesting Narrative have been added, and there are new selections by Samuel Johnson (including his “Letter to Lord Chesterfield” and facsimile pages from the Dictionary). Book 3 from Gulliver’s Travels has been added; that work now appears in its entirety. There are also additional selections by Pope, Pepys, and Astell.The Castle of Otranto and The Witlings have been moved from the bound book to the website component of the anthology. (Both are available as volumes in the Broadview Editions series, and may be added at a very modest additional cost in a shrink-wrapped combination package.)Trade ReviewPraise for The Restoration and the Eighteenth Century:“I will certainly order volume 3 for my Literature of the Restoration and the Eighteenth century survey. … The plain fact is that [the Broadview] has no serious or up-to-date competition. And you can quote me!” — John Rempel, University of Manitoba“After years of cobbling together [materials] for my one-semester Restoration and Eighteenth-Century British Literature course, I have been prompted by the availability of this new volume to return to using an anthology. The volume balances the urge for comprehensiveness with a judicious selectivity. … The introduction is lucid, smart, and current. … Headnotes are deft … [and] annotations are unobtrusive but extensive and helpful.” — Brian Connery, Oakland University“Volume 3 of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature looks really great! I like the use of the website to include more material, and the choices of themes for the ‘Contexts’ sections, which are very much in line with my interests and my sense of the current state of eighteenth-century studies. I appreciate the decision not to segregate women writers, which is also in line with my thinking. The selections are interesting and thoughtful.” — Elizabeth Bohls, University of OregonComments on The Broadview Anthology of British Literature:“ … sets a new standard by which all other anthologies of British Literature will now have to be measured.” — Graham Hammill, SUNY Buffalo“With the publication of the Broadview Anthology of British Literature, teachers and students in survey and upper-level undergraduate courses have a compelling alternative to the established anthologies by Norton and Longman. … This is a very real intellectual, as well as pedagogical, achievement.” — Nicholas Watson, Harvard University“ … an excellent anthology. Good selections for my purposes (including some nice surprises), just the right level of annotation, affordable—and a hit with my students. I will definitely use it again.” — Ira Nadel, University of British Columbia“After twenty years of teaching British literature from the Norton anthologies, I’m ready to switch to the Broadview. The introductions to each period are key to teaching a survey course, and those in the Broadview seem to me to be both more accessible to students and more detailed in their portraits of each era than are those of the Norton. And Broadview’s selection of authors and texts includes everything I like to teach from the Norton, plus a good deal else that’s of real interest.” — Neil R. Davison, Oregon State University “Norton’s intros are good; Broadview’s are better, with greater clarity and comprehension, as well as emphasis upon how the language and literature develop, both reacting or responding to and influencing or modifying the cultural, religious/philosophical, political, and socio-economic developments of Britain. The historian and the linguist in me thoroughly enjoyed the flow and word-craftsmanship. If you have not considered the anthology for your courses, I recommend that you do so.” — Robert J.

Broadview Press Ltd The Broadview Anthology of Medieval Drama
Book SynopsisThe past generation has been an extraordinarily active one in medieval drama scholarship; our appreciation of the range of medieval drama has been significantly broadened, and our understanding of certain medieval genres—most notably, biblical drama—has been fundamentally altered. The Broadview Anthology of British Literature has been widely praised for the degree to which it has taken this scholarship into account in its selection of and presentation of medieval plays. Now Broadview launches a new anthology that takes those plays as its base while expanding very substantially beyond them to represent the full range of drama in English (and, where strong connections exist, in French, Latin, Cornish, and Welsh as well) through to 1576. In all, over forty plays are included. Each work has been fully annotated and is prefaced by a substantial introduction. In many cases the language is to some extent modernised in order to make the plays more accessible to readers today.Trade Review“Fitzgerald and Sebastian, with their team of editors, have made a landmark contribution. The Broadview Anthology gives instructors a wealth of material to choose from, all excellently edited and presented. It is both solid and up-to-date in scholarship, and friendly and accessible to students. Its new approach to the presentation of texts and its thought-provoking selection of materials make it a most welcome addition to the field; it ought to remain the standard undergraduate text for many years to come.” — Chester N. Scoville, University of Toronto, reviewed in Early Theatre 16.1 (2013)“The Broadview Anthology of Medieval Drama is an accessible, multi-lingual, and historical-boundary-crossing anthology that is remarkably well-informed by current Early English drama scholarship. Its emphasis on contexts and regional cultures, its inclusion of a wide range of translated and helpfully-modernized dramatic texts and sources (from early continental plays such as the German nun Hrosvitha’s Abraham, to the York Mercers’ Indenture document, to John Lydgate’s household mummings, to Tudor interludes such as Fulgens and Lucres), and, especially, its lively and engaging introductory comments on this trove of texts and their manuscript, print, and performance lives make it the ideal undergraduate text for demonstrating the teeming richness of the earliest British theatre.” — Gail McMurray Gibson, William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of English, Davidson College“The Broadview Anthology of Medieval Drama is a worthy and welcome successor to the magisterial [work] by David Bevington that for nearly four decades has guided teachers and students of medieval English drama. Broadview’s major anthology by editors Fitzgerald and Sebastian combines Bevington’s wide-ranging approach to medieval English drama with informed commentary on current issues in medieval English drama scholarship. Impressively attentive to developments in the field and appreciative of the practical challenges of investigating medieval English drama, this anthology makes a major contribution to the study and teaching of early English drama.” — Theresa Coletti, Professor and Distinguished Scholar-Teacher, Department of English, University of Maryland College ParkTable of ContentsPREFACEHROSVITHA OF GANDERSHEIMAbrahamBabioQuem Quaeritis The Quem Quaeritis Ceremony from the Regularis Concordia of St. ÆthelwoldThe Play of Adam (Ordo representacionis Ade)THE FLEURY Play of Herod (Ordo ad representandum Herodem)THE YORK CORPUS CHRISTI PLAY The Ordo PaginarumThe CreationThe Nativity The ShepherdsThe Slaughter of the InnocentsThe CrucifixionThe Harrowing of HellThe ResurrectionThe Last JudgmentThe York Mercers’ Indenture THE TOWNELEY PLAYS The Creation The “Wakefield Master” The First Shepherds’ PlayThe Second Shepherds’ Play IN CONTEXT: Biblical Source Materialfrom the Douay-Rheims Bible, Luke 2.8–21 Herod the Great IN CONTEXT: Biblical Source Material from the Douay-Rheims Bible, Matthew 2.1–23 The Buffeting (sites.broadviewpress.com/medievaldrama/) The Judgment Digby Candlemas Day and the Killing of the Children of Israel (sites.broadviewpress.com/medievaldrama/)The Digby Play of Mary Magdalene (sites.broadviewpress.com/medievaldrama/)The Conversation of St. Paul (sites.broadviewpress.com/medievaldrama/)THE CHESTER PLAYS Play of Adam and EvePlay of Noah’s Flood IN CONTEXT: Biblical Source Material from the Douay-Rheims Bible, Genesis 6–9 Play of the Shepherds THE N-TOWN PLAYS Mary PlayThe Nativity THE CORNISH Ordinalia Noah and the Ark Origo Mundi, lines 917–1258 The Crucifixion Passio Christi, lines 2504–3030 The Death of Pilate Resurrexio Domini, lines 1587–2044 THE WELSH BIBLICAL PLAYSThe Three Kings of CologneJOHN LYDGATE A Disguising at Hertford CastleA Disguising at LondonMumming at ElthamMumming at WindsorMumming for the Mercers of LondonMumming for the Goldsmiths of LondonMumming at Bishopswood THE CROXTON Play of the SacramentMankind IN CONTEXT: Stage Plan for The Castle of Perseverance EverymanHENRY MEDWALLFulgens and LucresThe Interlude of YouthJOHN HEYWOODThe Play of the WeatherJOHN REDFORDThe Play of Wit and ScienceGammer Gurton’s NeedleULPIAN FULWELLLike Will to LikePERMISSIONS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Broadview Press Ltd The Age of Authors: An Anthology of
Book SynopsisEighteenth-century critics differed about almost everything, but if there was one point on which they almost universally agreed, it was that they were living through an age of extraordinary change. The texts in this collection respond to a series of fundamental questions about the changing nature of the literary field during a tumultuous age: What types of writing mattered in a thriving commercial nation? What kinds of knowledge ought literature to offer, if it was to continue to be relevant? What did it mean to be an author in this busy modern world, and what sorts of social distinction should authors expect to enjoy?The Age of Authors explores the complexity, sophistication, and creativity with which the eighteenth century literary community (or “republic of letters”) responded to the challenges of the time.Trade Review“The Age of Authors fills a real gap in eighteenth-century literary studies. It provides an engaging, splendidly edited, and far-ranging anthology of the opinions of the variegated and expanding authorial community as it faced a world of profound change in the status, meaning, and process of literary production. Including a rich selection of essays by both important and freshly discovered writers, with a lively introduction setting out the cultural context of the period, the book is an essential guide for any reader interested in eighteenth-century literature and print and book history.” — Barbara Benedict, Trinity CollegeTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionA Timeline of Major Political and Legal EventsA Note on the TextsJonathan Swift (1667–1745)A Tale of a Tub (1704)Section 10: “A Tale of a Tub”Daniel Defoe (1660–1731)Essays upon Several Projects: Or, Effectual Ways for Advancing the Interest of the Nation (1702)IntroductionThe History of ProjectsOf ProjectorsOf AcademiesAn Academy for WomenRichard Steele (1672–1729) and Joseph Addison (1672–1719)The Spectator (1711–14)Numb. 1 1 March 1711 [Introduction of Mr. Spectator]Numb. 3 3 March 1711 [Dream Vision of Public Credit]Numb. 10 12 March 1711 [Role of Periodical Writers]Numb. 37 12 April 1711 [A Lady’s Library]Numb. 85 7 June 1711 [Accidental Readings]Numb. 124 23 July 1711 [Publishing in Volumes versus Loose Pages]Numb. 411 21 June 1712 [The Pleasures of Imagination]Numb. 529 6 November 1712 [Ranks in Literature]Numb. 582 18 August 1714 [On the Itch of Writing]Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689–1762)Letters of the Right Honourable Lady M —y W —y M —e; Written, During Her Travels in Europe, Asia and Africa, to Persons of Distinction (1724)Preface, by a LadyLetter XXVI [From Adrianople, April 1, 1717]Letter XXIX [From Adrianople, April 1, 1717]Letter XXXIII [From Adrianople, April 18, 1717]Letter XXXVII [From Belgrade-Village, June 17, 1717]Ephraim Chambers (1680–1740)Cyclopædia: Or, an Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences (1728)The PrefaceThe Grub-Street Journal (1730–37)Numb. 4 29 January 1730 [Letter from a Bookseller]Numb. 33 20 August 1730 [Proposal for a College]Numb. 47 26 November 1730 [Letter from a Skeptical Reader]Numb. 112 24 February 1731 [On Modern Theatre]Numb. 115 16 March 1731 [On Modern Theatre]Henry Fielding (1707–54)The Author’s Farce (1730)Alexander Pope (1688–1744)An Epistle from Mr. Pope, to Dr. Arbuthnot (1735)David Hume (1711–76)Essays, Moral and Political (1742)“Of Essay-Writing”Essays and Treatises on Several Subjects (1760)“Of Refinement in the Arts”Eliza Haywood (c. 1693–1756)The Female Spectator (1744–46)Book I [Introduction]Book II [Method of Proceeding]Book XXIV [Farewell to Readers]Sarah Fielding (1710–68)The Governess (1749)DedicationPrefaceThe History of Mistress Teachum, and Her Nine Scholars.Samuel Johnson (1709–84)The Rambler (1750–52)Numb. 16 12 May 1750 [Letter from a Young Author]Numb. 21 29 May 1750 [Literary Success]Numb. 60 13 October 1750 [On Biography]Numb. 83 1 January 1751 [The Reciprocity of all Learning]Numb. 136 6 July 1751 [On the Promiscuous Use of Dedications]Numb. 137 9 July 1751 [The Heroes of Literature]Numb. 145 6 August 1751 [Manufacturers of Literature]Numb. 146 10 August 1751 [The Delusions of Authors]Numb. 173 12 November 1751 [Against Pedantry]The Adventurer (1752–54)Numb. 115 11 December 1753 [The Age of Authors]The World.

Broadview Press Ltd Miracles of the Virgin in Middle English
Book SynopsisDuring the Middle Ages, Mary was the most powerful of saints, and the combination of her humanity and her proximity to the divine captured the medieval imagination. Her importance is nowhere more clearly reflected than in the genre of “Miracles of the Virgin,” short narrative accounts of Mary’s miraculous intercessory powers. These stories tend to fit a basic narrative pattern in which Mary saves a devoted believer from spiritual or physical danger—but beneath this surface simplicity, the Miracles frequently evoke fine or revealing theological, social, and cultural distinctions. They are remarkably various in tone, ranging from the darkly serious to the comically scandalous, and many display anti-Semitism to a greater degree or with greater punch than do other medieval genres. Mary herself takes on a variety of characteristics, appearing as dominant and persuasive more often than she appears as gentle and maternal.This volume offers a small but representative sampling of what survives of this literature in the English language. The Middle English has been helpfully glossed and annotated, and is lightly modernized for ease of reading; one particularly challenging story is translated in facing-page format. The “In Context” sections provide relevant biblical passages and medieval versions of the Christian prayers frequently evoked in the miracles; additional samples of Marian poetry and medieval illustrations of Marian miracles are also included.Trade Review“The texts are well-chosen, sensitively modernized, and either translated or appropriately glossed, making the volume useful both for research and teaching. Boyarin’s strategic inclusion of Biblical passages, extra poems, prayers, and illustrations very helpfully put the miracle stories ‘In Context.’ A reliable resource [offering] fascinating material!” — Laura Saetveit Miles, University of Bergen“Reading through the selections Williams Boyarin has chosen from the vast array of Middle English Marian literature is like going on a tour with a very experienced guide—one who knows what will surprise and delight the most, and what information must be provided to help the visitor make the most of what they are seeing. As a reader familiar with Marian devotion and its literature, I found the texts included to be engaging and telling examples of the rich tradition and range of roles Mary fills … For students or other newcomers to the field, this book can serve as an enticing and efficient introduction to study of the English Marian cult over time and across genres … I can easily imagine using this collection as a textbook in an undergraduate or graduate course on medieval spirituality or Middle English literature … [T]here is no doubt that this collection will spark new interest in a very rich area of medieval religious literature and experience.” — Wendy Larson, The Medieval ReviewTable of ContentsIntroductionMiracles of the Virgin in Middle English from The South English Legendary, “St Theophilus” (c. 1280) from the Vernon Manuscript, “Miracles of Ure Lady” (c. 1390) from John Mirk’s Festial, Sermon for Candlemas (c. 1390) from British Library MS 37049, Marian Praise and Miracles (c. 1460–70) from a Late-Medieval Sermon Book, A Marian Incest Tale (c.1460–1500) In Context Mary in the Bible The Gospel According to Matthew 1.18–25 and 2.7–21 The Gospel According to Luke 1.26–56 and 2.1–51 Prayers Evoked in the Miracles Two Versions of the Ave Maria (Hail Mary) Paternoster (Our Father) Credo (I Believe, or the Creed) Alma redemptoris mater (Kind Mother of the Redeemer) Salve sancta parens (Hail Holy Parent) Confiteor (I Confess) Marian Prayer-Poems in Related Manuscripts Three Poems from the Vernon Manuscript Two Poems from British Library MS Additional 37049 Illustrations of Marian Miracles from Medieval English Books

Broadview Press Ltd Selected Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson
Book SynopsisEssayist, lecturer, poet, and America’s first “public intellectual,” Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–82) is the central figure in nineteenth-century American letters and the leader (albeit reluctantly) of the Transcendental group. A literary mover and shaker, Emerson directed his unpopular early radicalism toward social institutions (the Church, education, literary conventions); by his death in 1882, however, his reputation was already solidifying as a national icon. Somewhere between the iconic sage and the speculative idealist lies an Emerson that students don’t often encounter, a flesh-and-blood figure whose writings testify to his continuing exploration of the individual’s place in an increasingly conformist and crowded world. In its selections and its apparatus, this Broadview edition bridges the gap between Emerson and students by stressing his real-world engagements.The collection contains a range of prose and poetry addressing some of Emerson’s major concerns—nature and the self, imagination and the poet, religion and social reform—as he explores the enduring question “How shall I live?” Historical appendices include primary materials on Transcendentalism; the contemporary debate about the nature of biblical miracles; other authors’ responses to Emerson as a writer and thinker; and the development of his complex reputation as a representative American.Copy-texts in this edition are the first published versions of each text, restored here as Emerson’s initial audience would have read them.Trade Review“Not only has Robert Habich assembled a representative collection of Emerson’s prose and poetry, but he has also contextualized them in a biographical, historical, and critical introduction and in appendices containing documents on the major controversies of the day and important comments on Emerson by contemporaries. Habich’s selections challenge readers to throw off their conception of Emerson as a mild-mannered and somewhat ethereal philosopher and to come to grips with the personal and intellectual tests that he himself faced. This is a focused work that all readers will appreciate.” — Joel Myerson, Carolina Distinguished Professor of American Literature, Emeritus, University of South Carolina, and co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Transcendentalism“A fresh, carefully chosen collection of the writings of Emerson, young America’s still compelling—yet ever elusive—Thinking Man! Broadview delivers, in this edition, a select compilation of Emerson’s best published writings, supplemented by a rich appendix of contextual matter. In his introduction, distinguished Emerson editor Robert Habich distills into a seamless and well-balanced narrative the analyses of Emerson biographers and editors and places them in the context of the long saga of Emerson criticism. He concludes by shining a new light, for these times, on ‘how to think’ about Emerson: the man, the idealist, the poet, the activist, the eventual pragmatist, and, all along, the provocateur—the quintessential American ‘disrupter.’ All told, this work is a stunning new course-in-itself on Ralph Waldo Emerson.” — Margaret Emerson Bancroft, President, Ralph Waldo Emerson Memorial Association“Selected Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson is a fresh and welcome collection of Emerson’s works carefully contextualized not only by Habich’s biographical and critical introduction, but also by well-chosen selections from Emerson’s contemporaries. It is especially well-suited for teaching, framed as it is in within Emerson’s own vision of education as best serving us when it ‘aim[s] not to drill, but to create,’ when it ignites thinking rather than encourages bookworms (CW 1:58). … Habich is a restrained editor, deliberately keeping editorial ‘intrusions’ minimal with succinct headnotes and footnotes. I particularly like his footnoted cross-references which not only link texts for readers, but also model participatory reading.” — Susan Dunston, Emerson Society PapersTable of Contents Selected Prose Nature (1836) Phi Beta Kappa Address (“The American Scholar,” 1837) Divinity School Address (1838) From “Thoughts on Modern Literature” (Dial, October 1840) “Circles” (1841, Essays: First Series) “Self-Reliance” (1841, Essays: First Series) “Experience” (1844, Essays: Second Series) “The Poet” (1844, Essays: Second Series) “The Uses of Great Men” (1850, Representative Men) From Memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli (1852) “Land” (1856, English Traits) “Illusions” (Atlantic Monthly, November 1857) “Fate” (1860, Conduct of Life) “Old Age” (Atlantic Monthly, January 1862) “Thoreau” (Atlantic Monthly, August 1862) From “Immortality” (1876, Letters and Social Aims) Selected Poetry “Concord Hymn” (1837)“Each and All” (1839) “The Rhodora” (1839) “Ode, Inscribed to W.
