1 y separately published work icon Olive Schreiner : Writing Networks and Global Contexts Jade Munslow Ong (editor), Andrew Van Der Vlies (editor), Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press , 2023 27644681 2023 anthology criticism 'This collection of essays considers the significance of South African-born writer, activist and thinker Olive Schreiner in international and multidisciplinary contexts in her time – and the ongoing relevance of her work to our own. A leading writer of New Woman Fiction at the fin de siècle, Schreiner influenced generations of readers, not to mention other writers. Taken together, these essays make the argument for a ‘new’ Schreiner Studies drawing on recent developments in scholarship on global and peripheral modernisms, activist networks and intersectionality, posthumanism, memory studies and intermediality. They position Schreiner’s work and legacy as significant for understanding literary and social archives, race and gender performance, and the rise of literary modernism in the global Anglosphere.' (Publication summary)
1 y separately published work icon Beastly Modernisms : The Figure of the Animal in Modernist Literature and Culture Saskia McCracken (editor), Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press , 2023 26206343 2023 anthology criticism

'The intersection of modernist studies and critical animal studies is a new, progressive field that raises crucial questions about what it means to live with animals in modernity. Beastly Modernisms gathers essays from leading figures in the field alongside emerging scholars who, together, revisit canonical figures and decentre the canons and geographies of modernism. Grounded in interdisciplinary approaches, the contributions work with cultural history and theoretical frameworks to unearth the multispecies dynamics of twentieth-century literature and culture.

'The chapters in Beastly Modernisms present a diverse range of approaches and topics, exploring dogs in Virginia Woolf to Republican China, animals and gender in surrealism to African-American texts, Sámi reindeer to rat propaganda, modernist jellyfish to metamodernist beasts, 1940s poetry to Indian Partition stories, charting the current and future state of modernist animal studies.' (Publication summary)

Or might the literary simply be elsewhere?' (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon Victoriographies 2011 Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press , 2011- 28223279 2011 periodical (1 issues)

'Victoriographies: A Journal of the Long Nineteenth Century invites articles from authors working in burgeoning areas of Victorian Studies and encourages transhistorical, transcontinental, and transmedial approaches. The journal seeks contributions that interrogate afresh ideas, images, texts, objects, spaces, performances, themes, and authors that seem familiar, as well as those which address understudied aspects of the long nineteenth century. Our aim is to emphasize connections and ligatures beyond the temporalities, national locations, and objects of inquiry that have traditionally constrained nineteenth-century and Neo-Victorian scholarship. Articles from researchers of all career stages are welcome, and we especially encourage submissions from scholars around the globe.'  (Publication summary)

1 3 y separately published work icon A Historical Companion to Postcolonial Literatures in English David Johnson (editor), Prem Poddar (editor), Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press , 2005 Z1527879 2005 reference essay 'This is the first reference guide to the political, cultural and economic histories that form the subject-matter of postcolonial literatures written in English. The focus of the Companion is principally on the histories of postcolonial literatures in the Anglophone world - Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the Pacific, the Caribbean and Canada. There are long entries discussing the literatures and histories of those further areas that have also claimed the title 'postcolonial', notably Britain, East Asia, Ireland, Latin America and the United States. By outlining the historical contexts of postcolonial literatures, the Companion provides an important key to understanding complex contemporary debates about globalisation and neo-colonialism; gender inequality; racism and nationalism; and ethnic, cultural and religious conflict. Its coverage of events, figures and movements along with political, social, and economic developments makes this indispensable reading for students, teachers and general readers alike.'
