'A wide-ranging collection of some of the best critics in English on Britain's preeminent political novelist. I particularly appreciate the international dimension, Trollope in and on Asia, Australasia, Latin America and Russia.' Regenia Gagnier, author of Literatures of Liberalization: Global Circulation and the Long Nineteenth Century Explores the many ways in which Anthony Trollope is being read in the twenty-first century Since the turn of the century, the Victorian novelist Anthony Trollope has become a central figure in the critical understanding of Victorian literature. By bringing together leading Victorianists with a wide range of interests, this innovative collection of essays involves the reader in new approaches to Trollope's work. The contributors to this volume highlight dimensions that have hitherto received only scant attention and in doing so they aim to draw on the aesthetic capabilities of Trollope's twenty-first-century readers. Instead of reading Trollope's novels as manifestations of social theory, they aim to foster an engagement with a far more broadly theorised literary culture. Key Features - The most innovative collection of original essays on Anthony Trollope to date - Enables the reader to see the direction of Trollope studies and Victorian studies in the twenty-first century - Situates Trollope's work in newly emerging critical contexts, such as media networks and economics - Makes use of pioneering developments in stylistics, ethics, epistemology, and reception history Frederik Van Dam is Assistant Professor of European Literature at Radboud University Nijmegen. David Skilton is Emeritus Professor of English at Cardiff University. Ortwin de Graef is Professor of English Literature at the University of Leuven and director of the Paul Druwé Fund for Trollope Studies.

*APPROVED* 'This book is essential and exciting reading for all interested in the history of women in the inter-war period; an inter-disciplinary collection which explores a wide range of women's magazines including some like Eve, Britannia and Labour Women which are all too often neglected.' Maggie Andrews, University of Worcester Provides new perspectives on women's print media in interwar Britain This collection of 30 new essays recovers and explores a neglected archive of women's print media and dispels the myth of the interwar decades as a retreat to 'home and duty' for women. The volume demonstrates that women produced magazines and periodicals ranging in forms and appeal from highbrow to popular, private circulation to mass-market, and radical to reactionary. It shows that the 1920s and 1930s gave rise to a plurality of new challenges and opportunities for women as consumers, workers and citizens, as well as wives and mothers. Featuring interdisciplinary research by recognised specialists in the fields of literary and periodical studies as well as women's and cultural history, this volume recovers overlooked or marginalised media and archival sources, as well as reassessing well-known commercial titles. Designed as a 'go-to' resource both for readers new to the field and for specialists seeking the latest developments in this area of research, it opens up new directions and methodologies for modern periodical studies and cultural history. Organised by sections devoted to the arts, modern style, domestic and service magazines, and feminist and organisationally-based media, this volume foregrounds connections between different genres of women's periodical publishing and makes a major contribution to revisionist scholarship on the interwar period. The detailed appendix provides a valuable resource to facilitate new research on interwar women's magazines. Catherine Clay is Senior Lecturer in English at Nottingham Trent University.

'This book comprehensively overturns assumptions about women's exclusion from the business of eighteenth-century periodical print. From fan fiction to fashion design, from literary reviewing to pedagogic theory, female creativity is evident everywhere. Batchelor and Powell's collection is as visually and verbally rich as their subject.' Ros Ballaster, Mansfield College, University of Oxford Provides new perspectives on women's print media in the long eighteenth century This innovative volume presents for the first time collective expertise on women's magazines and periodicals of the long eighteenth century. While this period witnessed the birth of modern periodical culture and its ability to shape aspects of society from the popular to the political, most studies have traditionally obscured the very active role women's voices and women readers played in shaping the periodicals that in turn shaped Britain. The 30 essays here demonstrate the importance of periodicals to women, the importance of women to periodicals, and, crucially, they correct the destructive misconception that the more canonised periodicals and popular magazines were rival or discontinuous forms. This collection shows how both periodicals and women drove debates on politics, education, theatre, celebrity, social practice, popular reading and everyday life itself. Divided into 6 thematic parts, the book uses innovative methodologies for historical periodical studies, mapping new directions in eighteenth-century and Romantic studies, women's writing as well as media and cultural history. Jennie Batchelor is Professor of Eighteenth-Century Studies at the University of Kent. She is the author of Women's Work: Labour, Gender, Authorship, 1750-1830 (2014) as well as a number of publications on eighteenth-century periodicals and the histories of gender, sexuality and writing.

New perspectives on women's contributions to periodical culture in the era of modernism This collection highlights the contributions of women writers, editors and critics to periodical culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It explores women's role in shaping conversations about modernism and modernity across varied aesthetic and ideological registers, and foregrounds how such participation was shaped by a wide range of periodical genres. The essays focus on well-known publications and introduce those as yet obscure and understudied -- including middlebrow and popular magazines, movement-based, radical papers, avant-garde titles and classic little magazines. Examining neglected figures and shining new light on familiar ones, the collection enriches our understanding of the role women played in the print culture of this transformative period.

Foregrounds the diversity of periodicals, fiction and other printed matter targeted at women in the postwar period Women's Periodicals and Print Culture in Britain, 1940s-2000s draws attention to the wide range of postwar print cultures for women. The collection spans domestic, cultural and feminist magazines and extends to ephemera, novels and other printed matter as well as digital magazine formats. The essays examine both mainstream and independent publishing for women. They consider the history of publishing for women, the social contexts, and the ways in which the publications were used and understood by their readers over this long postwar period. The collection reflects in detail the important ways in which ways magazines and printed matter contributed to, challenged or informed British women's culture. A range of approaches, including interview, textual analysis and industry commentary, is employed in order to demonstrate the variety of ways in which the impact of postwar print media may be understood.

Showcases Ezra Pound's close involvement with the arts throughout his career This volume of new, interdisciplinary scholarship investigates the arts with which Pound had a lifelong interaction including architecture, ballet, cinema, music, painting, photography and sculpture. Divided into 5 historically and thematically arranged sections, the 28 chapters foreground the shifting significance of art forms throughout Pound's life, which he spent in London, Paris, Rapallo and Washington. The Companion maps Pound's practices of engagement with the arts, deepening areas of study that have recently emerged, such as his musical compositions. At the same time, it opens up new fields, particularly Pound's interaction with the performing arts: opera, dance, and cinema. The book demonstrates overall that Ezra Pound was no mere spectator of the modernist revolution in the arts; rather he was an agent of change, a doer and promoter who also had a deep emotional response to the arts.

'An exciting and adventurous collection which sets out to challenge established interpretations of this complex period.' Valerie Sanders, University of Hull Explores the significance of the British fin de siècle in Scotland and Ireland, as well as some regional cities in England The late nineteenth-century fin de siècle has proved an enduringly fascinating moment in literary and cultural history. It is associated with the emergence of intriguing figures such as the 'new woman' and 'uranian'; with contradictory impulses, of decadence and decay on the one hand and of experiment and renewal on the other; and with unprecedented intercultural exchange, especially between Britain and France. The twenty-two newly-commissioned essays collected here re-examine some of the key concepts taken to define the fin de siècle, while also introducing hitherto overlooked cultural phenomena into the frame, such as the importance of humanitarianism. The impact of recent research in material culture is explored, particularly how the history of the book and the history of performance culture is changing our understanding of this period. A wide range of cultural activities is discussed: from participation in avant-garde theatre to interior decoration and from the writing of poetry to political and religious activism. Together, the essays provide new scholarly insights into British fin de siècle and enrich our understanding of this complex period, while paying particular attention to the importance of regionalism.

*APPROVED* A new exploration of literary and artistic responses to WW1 from 1914 to the present This authoritative reference work examines literary and artistic responses to the war's upheavals across a wide range of media and genres, from poetry to pamphlets, sculpture to television documentary, and requiems to war reporting. Rather than looking at particular forms of artistic expression in isolation and focusing only on the war and inter-war period, the 26 essays collected in this volume approach artistic responses to the war from a wide variety of angles and, where appropriate, pursue their inquiry into the present day. In 6 sections, covering Literature, the Visual Arts, Music, Periodicals and Journalism, Film and Broadcasting, and Publishing and Material Culture, a wide range of experts across literature and the arts examine what means and approaches were employed to respond to the shock of war. How and why have literary and artistic responses to the war changed over time? How far are later works of art responses not only to the war itself, but to earlier cultural production? These are key questions that this volume seeks to answer. Ann-Marie Einhaus is Senior Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Literature at Northumbria University.
