UEA Publishing Project Archive Fevers
Book SynopsisArchive Fevers offers a new generation of psychologically-engaged readers a playful queer/feminist interpretation of Jaques Derrida’s Archive Fever (1995). Through its creative critical form, the book demonstrates the unconscious life of research while interrogating the often misunderstood, overlooked or misrepresented landscape of individual gender-queer experiences of therapy. Utilising the framework of experimental narrative fiction, Blake elucidates Derrida’s concept of archive fever, Freud’s seminal concept of the death drive and Avita Ronell’s concept of haunted writing. The relationship between anthropology, psychoanalysis and surrealism during the early 20th century is examined throughout. Surrealism, though shunned by anthropology and psychotherapy, asserts an urgent contemporary usefulness. The role of technology in psychotherapy comes under necessary scrutiny, the ever-chainging backdrop of a global pandemic adding yet another layer of relevance to current phsychotherapy practice. The resulting narrative brings to the fore the bizarre, messy, disturbing, sometimes gruesome aspects of archival and ethnographic research that are usually left out of formal accounts.

Wave Books Guard The Mysteries
Book SynopsisGuard the Mysteries is a compendium of five talks that the poet Cedar Sigo presented for the Bagley Wright Lecture series. Retracing the ways in which he first encountered the realm of poetry, Sigo plumbs the particulars of modern critique, identity politics, early influences, and poetic form to produce a singular ‘autobiography of voice.’ Across these lectures, Sigo explores his childhood on the Suquamish Reservation, while paying homage to revolutionary artists, teachers, and thinkers whom have shaped his poetic aesthetic. Simultaneously timeless and extremely timely, these talks ponder the presences that California Buddhism, LGBTQ+ experiences, and Native Nations occupy in the poetic world and the world at large.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Mass-Market Fiction and the Crisis of American Liberalism, 1972–2017
Book SynopsisMass-Market Fiction and the Crisis of American Liberalism, 1972–2017 tracks the transformation of liberal thought in the contemporary United States through the unique lens of the popular paperback. The book focuses on cultural shifts as they appear in works written by some of the most widely-read authors of the last fifty years: the idea of love within a New Economy (Danielle Steel), the role of government in scientific inquiry (Michael Crichton), entangled political alliances and legacies in the aftermath of the 1960s (Tom Clancy), the restructured corporation (John Grisham), and the blurred line between state and personal empowerment (Dean Koontz). To address the current crisis, this book examines how the changed character of American liberalism has been rendered legible for a mass audience.Table of Contents1. Introduction: Popular Paperbacks and the Transformation of American Liberalism Part I. The Neoliberal Turn 2. The Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic of Mass-Market Fiction 3. Danielle Steel and New Home Economics 4. Michael Crichton and the Heritage of Invention Part II: Conjunctures 5. Tom Clancy and the Liberal Family Tree 6. John Grisham and the New Economy Thriller 7.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Elizabeth I in Writing: Language, Power and Representation in Early Modern England
Book SynopsisThis collection investigates Queen Elizabeth I as an accomplished writer in her own right as well as the subject of authors who celebrated her. With innovative essays from Brenda M. Hosington, Carole Levin, and other established and emerging experts, it reappraises Elizabeth’s translations, letters, poems and prayers through a diverse range of approaches to textuality, from linguistic and philological to literary and cultural-historical. The book also considers Elizabeth as “authored,” studying how she is reflected in the writing of her contemporaries and reconstructing a wider web of relations between the public and private use of language in early modern culture. Contributions from Carlo M. Bajetta, Guillaume Coatelen and Giovanni Iamartino bring the Queen’s presence in early modern Italian literary culture to the fore. Together, these essays illuminate the Queen in writing, from the multifaceted linguistic and rhetorical strategies that she employed, to the texts inspired by her power and charisma.Trade Review“This is an essay-collection … with a number of new approaches and some fresh materials to interest the scholar of writing about, and especially by, this remarkable queen. The volume certainly helps to advance the case for Elizabeth to be studied not only as a monarch, but also as an impressive author, translator, and linguist, wielding language skilfully in a multitude of ways in order to manage both political and personal relationships … .” (Helen Hackett, Early Modern Women Journal, Vol. 14 (1), 2019)Table of Contents1.

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. Introduction.- 2. Re-forming caricature: political crisis and the reinvention of the satirical image 1830–1832.- 3. Everybody’s caricature: Charles Jameson Grant.- 4. The Reform Hurricane: radical satirical broadsheets.- 5. The Chartist Carnival.- 6. Laughing at Victoria: A Queen in Caricature.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Living Well with Pessimism in Nineteenth-Century
Book SynopsisThis book traces the emergence of modern pessimism in nineteenth-century France and examines its aesthetic, epistemological, ethical, and political implications. It explores how, since pessimism as a worldview is not empirically verifiable, writers on pessimism shift the discussion to verisimilitude, opening up rich territory for cross-fertilization between philosophy and literature. The book traces debates on pessimism in the nineteenth century among French nonfiction writers who either lauded its promotion of compassion or condemned it for being a sick and unliveable attempt at renunciation. It then examines the way novelists and poets take up and transform these questions by portraying characters in lived situations that serve as testing grounds for the merits or limitations of pessimism. The debate on pessimism that emerged in the nineteenth century is still very much with us, and this book offers an interhistorical argument for embracing pessimism as a way of living well in the world, aesthetically, ethically, and politically.Table of Contents1 Introduction2 Schopenhauer: Resignation, Compassion, and Narrative3 Debates on Pessimism in Late Nineteenth-Century France4 Pessimism and the Novel: Fiction and the “As-If”5 Pessimism and the Poetic Imagination6 Conclusion: Living Well with Pessimism, Then and Now
