Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Rise of Victorian Caricature
Book SynopsisThis book serves as a retrieval and reevaluation of a rich haul of comic caricatures from the turbulent years between the Reform Bill crisis of the early 1830s and the rise and fall of Chartism in the 1840s. With a telling selection of illustrations, this book deploys the techniques of close reading and political contextualization to demonstrate the aesthetic and ideological clout of a neglected tranche of satirical prints and periodicals dismissed as ineffectual by historians or distasteful by contemporaries. The prime exhibits are the work of Robert Seymour and C.J. Grant giving acerbic comic edge to the case for reform against class and state oppression and the excesses of the monarchical regime under the young Queen Victoria.Trade Review“Haywood unpacks the amazingly complicated and inventive imagery, shared by words and pictures in the 1830s and purposed by the radical press to expose the myths of a united nation. … Haywood’s and Maidment’s books are seriously and importantly relevant to any reconsideration of Dickens’s work through the 1830s and 1840s.” (Robert L. Patten, The Dickensian, Vol. 117 (515), Winter, 2021)“Ian Haywood’s The Rise of Victorian Caricature is a book that takes caricature seriously as having played a variety of important cultural and political roles in the 1830s. … A comparison between the visual cultures associated with the three Reform Acts would make for fascinating reading and viewing.” (Dominic Janes, Victorian Studies, Vol. 64 (1), 2021)“In this impressive volume of visual, cultural, and social history, Haywood captures the sense of urgency and emotive responses to the politics of the day, while his carefully chosen illustrations introduce readers to the broader themes of class, antigovernment, and pro-Chartist ideology.” (Rose Roberto, BAVS Newsletter, 2021)“Haywood’s detailed analysis, subtle points regarding social class distinctions, and numerous examples of broadsheets and their caricatures all render this book at once wide-ranging and specific. The Rise of Victorian Caricature represents a valuable contribution to studies of visual and print culture and an indispensable resource for research into the history of political caricature in Victorian periodicals.” (Jo Devereux, Victorian Periodicals Review, Vol. 53 (3), 2020)“Besides illuminating caricature, this book enriches our understanding of so many other key fields that it should be required reading in British history courses. … [Haywood] sheds a volume of new light on the evolving class system. … Along with the highest quality of reproduction and all the work required to gain rights and permissions, this wealth of illustrative material should be applauded.” (Richard Scully, Review19, nbol-19.org, October 17, 2020)Table of Contents1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Value and the Humanities: The Neoliberal
Book SynopsisTracing the shift from liberal to neoliberal education from the nineteenth century to the present day, this open access book provides a rich and previously underdeveloped narrative of value in higher education in England. Value and the Humanities draws upon historical, financial, and critical debates concerning educational and cultural policy. Rather than writing a singular defence of the humanities against economic rationalism, Zoe Hope Bulaitis constructs a nuanced map of the intersections of value in the humanities, encompassing an exploration of policy engagement, scientific discourses, fictional representation, and the humanities in public life. The book articulates a kaleidoscopic range of humanities practices which demonstrate that although recent policy encourages higher education to be entirely motivated by outcomes, fiscal targets, and the acquisition of employability skills, the humanities continue to inspire and aspire beyond these limits. This book is a historically-grounded and theoretically-informed analysis of the value of the humanities within the context of the market. Trade Review“Bulaitis’s analysis of the values conveyed both in higher education speech and policies provides a useful study of how they are perceived, imagined, and put into practice within the British neoliberal context. … Bulaitis has articulated very convincing academic arguments to explain the shift from liberal to neoliberal university values and debates. This book offers accurate, clear, and meaningful food for thought for those interested in the study of the processes of ‘marketisation’ and ‘economisation’ of higher education.” (Catherine Coron, Journal of British Studies, Vol. 60 (4), October, 2021)Table of ContentsChapter One: IntroductionPart I: The State of the DebateCritical University Studies The Public Value of the Humanities Social Impact Studies New Contributions Part II: The Relationship with the Past: From Liberal to Neoliberal EducationDescribing 2008-18 as the Present Moment in Higher EducationEconomic Value as a Monoculture under Neoliberalism The Dominance of Economic Value within Higher Education Arguing Against Crisis in the HumanitiesPart III: From Liberal to Neoliberal Education Articulating the Values of a Liberal Education Speaking of Liberal Values in the Neoliberal University Part IV: Chapter Synopses Chapter Two: A History of Payment by Results: Lowe’s Code (1862) and the Browne Report (2010)Introduction Part I: Lowe’s CodeThe Newcastle Commission Robert Lowe and Economic Motivations Critical Responses to Payment by Results Part II: The Browne Report Contextualising the Browne Report: The Move towards Minimal Government Involvement in Higher Education National Economic Motivations National Gains: The Debate Concerning Tangible Knowledge The Rise of Individualism and the Student as Consumer ConclusionChapter Three: Controversy and Conversation: The Relationship Between the Humanities and the SciencesIntroductionPart I: Policy and the Relationship between the DisciplinesPresent Policy PreferencesA Brief History of an Age-Old ArgumentPart II: The “Two Cultures Controversy”, Then and NowThe Birth of a Controversy The Form of the Debate The Two Cultures Today Part III: A Liberal Valuation: Arnold and Huxley’s Exchange The Start of a Conversation “Darwin’s Bulldog” and “Our Chief Apostle of Culture” Articulating the Value of a Liberal Education Conclusion Chapter Four: The Relationship between Academic Fiction and Academic LifeIntroduction Part I: Using Academic Fiction as a Discursive Tool Part II: Defining Academic Fiction Understanding the Appeal of Academic Fiction Situation and Settings for the Academic Novel Subject Matter and Style in Academic Fiction Part III: Investigation One: The Qualities of a Liberal Education The Qualities of an Education in Tom Brown at Oxford The Secret History: A Classical Education Out of Time Assessing the Value of the Humanities in Novels that Engage with Educational Principles from the Past Part IV: Investigation Two: Representing the Processes of Humanities Research Middlemarch and the Pursuit of the Key to All Mythologies Possession and the Processes of Scholarship Assessing the Value of the Humanities in Novels that Explore the Process of Writing and Research Part V: Investigation Three: Pressures of Economics in Education Jude the Obscure and Barriers to Education Frank Parkin’s The Mind and Body Shop: Everything for Sale The Future of a Liberal Education in Zadie Smith’s On Beauty ConclusionChapter Five: Impact and the Humanities: The Rise of Accountability in Public Cultural LifeIntroduction Part I: Debates in Public Access, Use, and Accountability in the Victorian Museum Defining Foucauldian Governmentality National Interests in the Public Museum: Governance and Powers of Display The British Museum: The Rise of Debates in Public Accountability and Access The Rise of Accountability: Quantification as Justification in the Victorian MuseumConclusions, Regarding the Victorian Public Museum Part II: Public Expenditure and Public Values“There is No Alternative”: The Rise of Economic Models of Valuation in the Cultural Sector New Public Management Responses from the Cultural Sector The Arts and the Economy Embroiled: The Rise of the Creative Industries Part III: REF-lections for the Academic Humanities Reinforcing National Interests within the Impact Agenda The Focus on Outputs and Impacts Misrepresents the Value of the Humanities “The System Does Not Speak for Me” The Humanities and the Creative Industries Part IV: A Response from the Humanities Conclusion Chapter Six: Conclusion Part I: Reflections on Questions of Value Part II: Future Directions for ResearchPart III: Voices of the Humanities, and a Call to ArmsPart IV: The Need for the Humanities in an Age of Populism

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Working-Class Writing: Theory and Practice
Book SynopsisThis book updates our understanding of working-class fiction by focusing on its continued relevance to the social and intellectual contexts of the age of Trump and Brexit. The volume draws together new and established scholars in the field, whose intersectional analyses use postcolonial and feminist ideas, amongst others, to explore key theoretical approaches to working-class writing and discuss works by a range of authors, including Ethel Carnie Holdsworth, Jack Hilton, Mulk Raj Anand, Simon Blumenfeld, Pat Barker, Gordon Burn, and Zadie Smith. A key informing argument is not only that working-class writing shows ‘working class’ to be a diverse and dynamic rather than monolithic category, but also that a greater critical attention to class, and the working class in particular, extends both the methods and objects of literary studies. This collection will appeal to students, scholars and academics interested in working-class writing and the need to diversify the curriculum.Table of Contents1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Palgrave Advances in John Clare Studies
Book SynopsisThis collection gathers together an exciting new series of critical essays on the Romantic- and Victorian-period poet John Clare, which each take a rigorous approach to both persistent and emergent themes in his life and work. Designed to mark the 200th anniversary of the publication of Clare’s first volume of poetry, Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery, the scholarship collected here both affirms Clare’s importance as a major nineteenth-century poet and reveals how his verse continually provokes fresh areas of enquiry. Offering new archival, theoretical, and sometimes corrective insights into Clare’s world and work, the essays in this volume cover a multitude of topics, including Clare’s immersion in song and print culture, his formal ingenuity, his environmental and ecological imagination, his mental and physical health, and his experience of asylums. This book gives students a range of imaginative avenues into Clare’s work, and offers both new readers and experienced Clare scholars a vital set of contributions to ongoing critical debates.Table of Contents1.
