Writing the Lost Generation
Members of the Lost Generation, American writers and artists who lived in Paris during the 1920s, continue to occupy an important place in our literary history. Rebelling against increased commercialism and the ebb of cosmopolitan society in early twentieth-century America, they rejected the culture of what Ernest Hemingway called a place of “broad lawns and narrow minds.” Much of what we know about these iconic literary figures comes from their own published letters and essays, revealing how adroitly they developed their own reputations by controlling the reception of their work. Surprisingly the literary world has paid less attention to their autobiographies. In Writing the Lost Genera...
Joyce's Audiences
This book presents for the first time a collective examination of the issue of audience in relation to Joyce’s work and the cultural moments of its reception. While many of the essays gathered in this volume are concerned with particular readers and readings of Joyce’s work, they all, individually and generally, gesture at something broader than a specific act of reception.

The Only Efficient Instrument
Many farsighted women writers in nineteenth-century America made thoughtful and sustained use of newspapers and magazines to effect social and political change. “The Only Efficient Instrument”: American Women Writers and the Periodical, 1837-1916 examines these pioneering efforts and demonstrates that American women had a vital presence in the political and intellectual communities of their day. Women writers and editors of diverse social backgrounds and ethnicities realized very early that the periodical was a powerful tool for education and social reform—it was the only efficient instrument to make themselves and their ideas better known. This collection of critical essays explores A...
Blackmail for Beginners
The Dangers of Glamping... My name is Nikki Lawry and I’m hosting my very first “Who’s the Boss” dog training camp retreat to finance my dream of a dog rescue center. I picked the perfect spot, a private site up on Eagle Mountain. Fresh air, good food, good company, and relaxed dog training demonstrations. I have high hope for my canine getaways. Now I have a campsite full of dog owners who already know one another. And have issues… Did they not get the memo about good company? Yikes! How did I end up in the middle of this? Things settle nicely, until a client turns up dead—with not one single camper heart-broken over it. Is my retreat business finished before it’s even begun? Yup, it’s come to that—me, Nikki Lawry, dog walker extraordinaire—looking for clues...

Multilingualism in Modernist Fiction
This new study argues that modernist literature is characterised by a 'multilingual turn'. Examining the use of different languages in the fiction of a range of writers, including Lawrence, Richardson, Mansfield, Rhys, Joyce and Beckett, Taylor-Batty demonstrates the centrality of linguistic plurality to modernist forms of defamiliarisation.
