A detailed assessment of D. H. Lawrence's wide-ranging engagements across the verbal, visual and performance arts This book includes twenty-eight innovative chapters by specialists from across the arts, reassessing Lawrence's relationship to aesthetic categories and specific art forms in their historical and critical contexts. A new picture of Lawrence as an artist emerges, expanding from traditional areas of enquiry in prose and poetry into the fields of drama, painting, sculpture, music, architecture, dance, historiography, life writing and queer aesthetics. The Companion presents original research on topics such as Lawrence's politics in his art, his representations of technology, his practice of revising and rewriting, and the relationship between his criticism and creation of prose, poetry and painting. This interdisciplinary Companion also makes a strong case for Lawrence's continuing relevance and aesthetic power, as represented by case studies of his afterlives in biofiction, cinema, musical settings and portraiture. Catherine Brown is Head of English and Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the New College of the Humanities, London. She is the author of The Art of Comparison: How Novels and Critics Compare (2011), articles on Lawrence, George Eliot, Henry James and Tolstoy, and is the co-editor of The Reception of George Eliot in Europe (2016). Susan Reid is the Editor of the Journal of D. H. Lawrence Studies. She is the author of D. H. Lawrence, Music and Modernism (2019) and many articles and book chapters on Lawrence and other modernist writers, and the co-editor of Katherine Mansfield and Literary Modernism (2011) and Katherine Mansfield Studies (2010-12).
Provides a pioneering interdisciplinary overview of the literature and music of nine centuries Bringing together sixty-five newly commissioned original chapters by literary specialists and musicologists, this book presents the most recent interdisciplinary research into literature and music. In five parts, the chapters cover the Middle Ages to the present. The volume introduction and methodology chapters define key concepts for investigating the interdependence of these two art forms and a concluding chapter looks to the future of this interdisciplinary field. An editorial introduction to each historical part explains the main features of the relationships between literature and music in the period and outlines recent developments in scholarship. Contributions represent a multiplicity of approaches: theoretical, contextual and close reading. Case studies reach beyond literature and music to engage with related fields including philosophy, history of science, theatre, broadcast media and popular culture. This trailblazing companion charts and extends the work in this expanding interdisciplinary field and is an essential resource for researchers with an interest in literature and other media. Delia da Sousa Correa is Senior Lecturer in English at the Open University.
Presents the first extended collection of new William Morris essays in several decades William Morris's socialist essays remain uncannily relevant for our time, as he addresses issues of inequality, precarity, and the need for pleasure and creative fulfilment in work and life. This scholarly edition traces Morris's opinions from his early insistence that all must have access to art in its broadest sense, through his years as a leader and theorist of the nascent British socialist movement. Finally, as Morris became the elder statesman of the socialist/labour cause, these writings demonstrate his efforts to reconcile competing factions in the service of common aims. Gathered from manuscripts, newspapers and elsewhere, these hitherto less-available writings illuminate Morris's skill and tact in appealing to differing audiences in the interests of an egalitarian red-green creative future. Florence S. Boos is Professor of English at the University of Iowa and the founder and general editor of the William Morris Archive.

Argues that contemporary slasher films embody a turn towards the metamodern sensibility
Walcott's lifelong concern with painting and painters deeply inflected his aesthetics and politics. Walcott's interventions on the relationship between Caribbean and colonial history have been thoroughly scrutinised, but, arguably, Walcott was also keen to address and (re)write an art history "of which," paraphrasing a line from Omeros, the Caribbean "too" was/is "capable". Contextualising and putting in conversation Walcott's published and unpublished writings (poems, plays, essays, journalism) and his drawings or paintings (privately owned and publicly disseminated) with specific artists from the Caribbean, Europe, South and North America, Derek Walcott's Painters recalibrates and sharpens our understanding of Walcott's articulation of his own politics and poetics and of the Caribbean's contributions to Atlantic and global culture.
