Renaissance Tales of Desire
This edition of three Ovidian tales translated and partly rewritten in the 1560s (Thomas Peend’s The Pleasant fable of Hermaphroditus and Salmacis, Thomas Underdowne’s The Excellent Historye of Theseus and Ariadne and William Hubbard’s The Tragicall and lamentable Histoire of two faithfull mates: Ceyx Kynge of Thracine and Alcione his wife) calls attention to the possible literary influence of such minor texts on later poets and playwrights like Marlowe and Shakespeare. Indeed, as narrative poems they deal with the popular themes of metamorphosis and desire. Even though they may well have been used as sources for such works as Hero and Leander, Venus and Adonis or A Midsummer Night’s Dream, they have never been re-edited since the sixteenth century. This volume may thus allow Renaissance scholars to rediscover the “embarrassment of riches” of poems which provide us with new details, developments and perspectives about the original myths, thereby refashioning Ovid’s stories in a typical Renaissance manner.

Making Space in the Works of James Joyce
James Joyce' s preoccupation with space' be it urban, geographic, stellar, geometrical or optical' is a central and idiosyncratic feature of his work. In this volume some of the most esteemed scholars in Joyce studies have come together to evaluate the perception and mental construction of space, as it is evoked through Joyce' s writing. With essays addressing all of Joyce's major works, this volume is a critical contribution to our understanding of modernism, as well as the relationship between space, language, and literature.
Light, Freedom and Song
In this absorbing analysis of modern Irish writing, an acknowledged expert considers the hybrid character of modern Irish writing to show how language, culture, and history have been affected by the colonial encounter between Ireland and Britain. Examining the great themes of loss and struggle, David Pierce traces the impact on Irish writing of the Great Famine and cultural nationalism and considers the way the work of Ireland’s two leading writers, W. B.Yeats and James Joyce, complicate and elucidate our view of "the harp and the crown.” The book draws a contrast between the West of Ireland in the 1930s, when the new Irish State enjoyed its first full independent decade, and the North of Ireland in the 1980s, when the spectre of British imperialism threatened the stability of Ireland. Pierce then surveys contemporary Irish writing and reflects on the legacy of the colonial encounter and on the passage to a postmodern or postnationalist Ireland in the work of such crucial living writers as John Banville, Derek Mahon, and John McGahern.
