The Girl from Guildford Street describes a working class childhood, growing up in Lozells, Birmingham, 1957-1968. The author and her sister and cousins were the last generation to grow up in the back to backs: Birmingham council houses, two up, one down; no bathroom, inside toilet, central heating or hot running water; centred around a back yard with outside toilets, sheds and a brew'us or wash house. The author looks at family life in the back to backs, and how whole families lived on one street. The author's parents both worked in local factories at a time when manufacturing was booming in Birmingham. This is not a misery memoir - it is the story of a happy childhood in one of Birmingham's poorest areas. It also looks at the Sixties - the fashions, the politics, the music, the hairstyles, the World Cup - as a golden age.

Most contemporary digital studies are interested in distant-reading paradigms for large-scale literary history. This book asks what happens when such telescopic techniques function as a microscope instead. The first monograph to bring a range of computational methods to bear on a single novel in a sustained fashion, it focuses on the award-winning and genre-bending Cloud Atlas (2004). Published in two very different versions worldwide without anyone taking much notice, David Mitchell's novel is ideal fodder for a textual-genetic publishing history, reflections on micro-tectonic shifts in language by authors who move between genres, and explorations of how we imagine people wrote in bygone eras. Though Close Reading with Computers focuses on but one novel, it has a crucial exemplary function: author Martin Paul Eve demonstrates a set of methods and provides open-source software tools that others can use in their own literary-critical practices. In this way, the project serves as a bridge between users of digital methods and those engaged in more traditional literary-critical endeavors.

Los mejores libros jamás escritos.Ay de la humana naturaleza! Ya lo habéis comprendido antes de que os lo dijera.Desde que empezaron a publicarse en 1836, las aventuras de Samuel Pickwick y Sam Weller se convirtieron en un éxito arrollador y supusieron la metamorfosis de un joven periodista mal pagado en el gran novelista del siglo XIX inglés. Los inolvidables miembros del absurdo Club Pickwick protagonizan aquí, según la generosa tradición de Cervantes, una infinita sucesión de aventuras disparatadas, cómicas, tristes, transidas siempre de una amabilidad quizá nunca igualada.La presente edición recoge la traducción del ensayista e historiador de las ideas José María Valverde, sin duda la más preciosamente vertida a nuestra lengua. La acompaña, además, a modo de introducción, el brillante estudio del crítico literario y filósofo Jordi Llovet, que presenta así al lector una obra que es uno de los grandes hitos de la literatura universal.

Un libro imprescindible para conocer los entresijos de ese mundo financiero que domina la economía y el discurso político. Más de cuatro años después del inicio de la crisis financiera, se han recuperado con dinero de los contribuyentes los negocios lucrativos de la banca, pero las consecuencias socioeconómicas (cierres de empresas, desempleo, ahorros evaporados, rebajas salariales.) se dejan sentir sobre los ciudadanos, amedrentados o indignados. En este libro, Juan Hdez. Vigueras, del Consejo científico de Attac, aporta respuestas con una mirada crítica al interior de las finanzas globalizadas y nos desvela los mecanismos de la especulación: los jugadores (la banca financiera, los fondos de inversiones, la gran empresa, las agencias de calificación); las fichas con las que juegan (las hipotecas, los derivados, los alimentos básicos, el petróleo, el armamento, la contaminación.); y también los reguladores en la sombra.

Katharine Cleland's Irregular Unions provides the first sustained literary history of clandestine marriage in early modern England and reveals its controversial nature in the wake of the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, which standardized the marriage ritual for the first time. Cleland examines many examples of clandestine marriage across genres. Discussing such classic works as The Faerie Queene, Othello, and The Merchant of Venice, she argues that early modern authors used clandestine marriage to explore the intersection between the self and the marriage ritual in post-Reformation England. The ways in which authors grappled with the political and social complexities of clandestine marriage, Cleland finds, suggest that these narratives were far more than interesting plot devices or scandalous stories ripped from the headlines. Instead, after the Reformation, fictions of clandestine marriage allowed early modern authors to explore topics of identity formation in new and different ways. Thanks to generous funding from Virginia Tech and its participation in TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem), the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other repositories.
