John Ruskin's Continental Tour, 1835The Written Records and DrawingsEdited by Caroline S. Hull & Keith Hanley
John Ruskin's training as an interdisciplinary polymath started in childhood. He learnedto memorise the Bible at his mother's knee and published his first poem aged ten. Hislifelong fascination with geology found its earliest expression in journal articles from theage of fifteen, while his considerable talents as a draughtsman were developed by leadingdrawing masters before he was sixteen. Rather than being a prodigy in one particularfield, it was his precocious mix of religion, science and art that laid the foundations forthe fulfilment of his career as a critic of art, architecture and society. The cultural toursthat he made with his family as he grew up provided the crucial focus for thesedeveloping interests, and the second extended tour of the Continent in 1835 at the age ofsixteen in particular established the paradigm for his orchestrated representation and analysis of cultural experience along 'the old road', though France to Chamonix, andthrough the Swiss Alps to northern Italy as far as Venice. His diary of the journey andassociated writings, together with the numerous drawings he made in relation to it, areannotated and fully catalogued for the first time in this edition that includes maps and an introductory essay.
Keith Hanley is Professor of English Literature at Lancaster University. Caroline S. Hullis a freelance academic writer and researcher.

Yvan GollThe Thwarted Pursuit of the Whole By Robert Vilain
The life of the bilingual writer Yvan Goll (1891-1950) was one of perpetualexperimentation and self-renewal. In the first study to treat Goll’s whole literary career,Robert Vilain explores the full range of his poetry, novels, dramas, libretti, essays,translations and editions – from Expressionism in pre-war Berlin and fisticuffs withAndré Breton over Surrealism in post-war Paris, to the dream of a new poetry for theatomic age. Goll’s journey took in satirical Überdramen, extravagantly ironic novels andcollaborations with Kurt Weill in the 1920s, lyrical love poetry for his wife and a lover,and the experiences of his magnificent alter ego Jean sans Terre in the 1930s, and poetryinspired by alchemy, geology and the Kabbalah in the 1940s. In 1945 he wrote the firstpoetic response to the Atom Bomb test, the greatest alchemy of all. Born into a Jewishfamily on the Franco-German border, at home all over Europe until forced into exile, andat his death an American citizen, Goll both suffered and relished his protean identity,living and writing in search of an elusive experience of wholeness

The Art of Ana Clavel Ghosts, Urinals, Dolls, Shadows and Outlaw DesiresBy Jane Elizabeth Lavery
Ana Clavel is a remarkable contemporary Mexican writer whose literary and multimediaoeuvre is marked by its queerness. The queer is evinced in the manner in which shedisturbs conceptions of the normal not only by representing outlaw sexualities and darkdesires but also by incorporating into her fictive and multimedia worlds that which is atodds with normalcy as evinced in the presence of the fantastical, the shadow, ghosts,cyborgs, golems and even urinals. Clavel's literary trajectory follows a queer path in thesense that she has moved from singular modes of creative expression in the form ofliterary writing, a traditional print medium, towards other non-literary forms. Some of Clavel's works have formed the basis of wider multimedia projects involvingcollaboration with various artists, photographers, performers and IT experts. Her works embrace an array of hybrid forms including the audio-visual, internet-enabledtechnology, art installation, (video) performance and photography. By fore-grounding thequeer heterogeneous narrative themes, techniques and multimedia dimension of Clavel'soeuvre, the aim of this monograph is to attest to her particular contribution to Hispanicletters, which arguably is as significant as that of more established Spanish Americanboom femenino women writers.

Books and Periodicals in Brazil 1768-1930Edited by Ana Claudia Suriani Da Silva & Sandra GuardiniVasconcelos
Before the Portuguese Royal Court moved to its South-American colony in 1808, booksand periodicals had a very limited circulation there. It was only when Brazilian portswere opened to foreign trade that the book trade began to flourish, and printed matterbecame more easily available to readers, whether for pleasure, for instruction or forpolitical reasons. This book brings together a collection of original articles on thetransnational relations between Brazil and Europe, especially England and France, in thedomain of literature and print culture from its early stages to the end of the 1920s. Itcovers the time when it was forbidden to print in Brazil, and Portugal strictly controlledwhich books were sent to the colony, through the quick flourishing of a transnationalprinting industry and book market after 1822, to the shift of hegemony in the printingbusiness from foreign to Brazilian hands at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Marie NDiayeInhospitable FictionsBy Shirley Jordan
At stake throughout the fictional writings of Marie NDiaye (1967–) is the issue of thestranger’s welcome. NDiaye’s fascination with a spectrum of outsider figures and withthe multiple, often subtle practices which create and sustain social groups as boundedentities, gives rise to detailed and disquieting portrayals not of hospitality but of themechanisms and rituals of repulsion.
Engaging with critical theory on hospitality across the disciplines, Shirley Jordan’sclosely argued analysis of NDiaye’s novels, theatre and short stories probes the tropes ofinhospitality around which the writer’s work coalesces, exploring the ethical significanceof a corpus in which communities, environments and spaces are persistently tainted byunwelcoming. NDiaye is seen to elaborate a fantastic anthropology: one which, throughsustained attentiveness to non-observance of the rules of hospitality, provides a focus fordebate about belonging in a postcolonial world.

Alejo Carpentier and the Musical TextBy Katia Chornik
Widely known for his novels El reino de este mundo (The Kingdom of this World) andLos pasos perdidos (The Lost Steps), the Swiss-born Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier(1904–1980) incorporated music in his fiction extensively, for instance in titles, inanalogies with musical forms, in scenes depicting performances, recordings andbroadcasts, and in characters’ discussions of musical issues. Chornik’s study focuses onCarpentier’s writings from a musicological perspective, bridging intermediality andintertextuality through an examination of music as formative, as form, and as performed.The emphasis lies on the novels Los pasos perdidos, El acoso (The Chase), Conciertobarroco (Baroque Concerto) and La consagración de la primavera (The Rite of Spring),and on his unknown essay Los orígenes de la música y la música primitiva (The Originsof Music and Primitive Music), the repository of ideas for Los pasos perdidos, includedhere for the first time as facsimile and in English translation. Chornik’s study will appealto scholars and students in literary studies, cultural studies, musicology andethnomusicology, and to a specifically interdisciplinary readership.

Samuel Butler against the ProfessionalsRethinking Lamarckism 1860–1900By David Gillott
In the wake of the 2009 Darwin bicentenary, Samuel Butler (1835-1902) is becoming aswell known for his public attack on Darwin's character and the basis of his scientificauthority as for his novels Erewhon and The Way of All Flesh. In the first monographdevoted to Butler's ideas for over twenty years, David Gillott offers a much-neededreappraisal of Butler's work and shows how Lamarckian ideas pervaded the whole ofButler's wide-ranging ouevre, and not merely his evolutionary theory. In particular, heargues that Lamarckism was the foundation on which Butler's attempt to undermineprofessional authority in a variety of disciplines was based. Samuel Butler against theProfessionals provides new insight into a fascinating but often misunderstood writer, andon the surprisingly broad application of Lamarckian ideas in the decades followingpublication of the Origin of Species.

Crossings in Text and TextileEdited by Daneen Wardrop & Katherine Joslin
A broad interdisciplinary collection highlighting the central place of clothing andtextile in literature
Crossings in Text and Textile explores the diverse range of transatlantic representationsof clothing in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century literature. This collection of essaysdemonstrates that fashion history and literary history, when examined together, promptfresh understandings of the complexities of race, class, and sexual identity. By bridgingmaterial culture and discourse, Crossings establishes the significance of fashion—whileneglecting none of its aesthetic appeal—to offer historicized readings on a variety oftopics, from Jane Austen's nuanced display of social interactions through the economicsof muslin to the 1871 Park and Boulton cross-dressing trial and Jessie Fauset's selectionof apparel to express racial power. The geographic span of textiles from differenteconomic areas around the globe includes Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America. Bymaking use of transatlantic texts to consider the political and social positioning of bothworkers and consumers, the collection further expands upon the emerging cross-disciplinary study of reading dress. A true "state of the field" work, Crossings in Textand Textiles charts new scholarly ground at the nexus between fashion, textiles, andliterature, appealing to a broad interdisciplinary audience of scholars and students.
