T. S. Eliot and Salvador Espriu
Aquest llibre estudia detalladament les obres de dos poetes moderns prototípics: T. S. Eliot i Salvador Espriu. El seu imaginari és comparable, ja que es projectava des de la seua experiència i cosmovisió personal així com des del seu profund coneixement de la tradició literària. Tots dos revelen els paral?lelismes entre els contextos històrics i culturals en els què es van crear els seus poemes i exemplifiquen el seu propòsit com a poetes a l'hora de preservar la tradició formada pels seus predecessors i a l'hora de subscriure's d'una manera significativa a ella. L'estudi de Dídac Llorens Cubedo porta al lector a través d'un viatge des de l'àrid desert o la sòrdida ciutat moderna fins a la pau imprecisa d'un jardí ideal, des de les restriccions del secular fins al tot sense traves i intemporal imaginat per Eliot i Espriu, dos gegants de la poesia.

New Literatures of Old
Artistic creativity is fuelled by the permanent interaction among artistic forms, cultures, societies, and eventually different individuals, in the form of an all-inclusive intertextuality. The dialogues between the past and the present help the artist examine his own art, making him conscious of his position in the field, whether through self-evaluation, renewal or experiment with new textualities. This book explores how the strategies reflecting the exchanges between past and present modes of artistic production become active agents of intervention in creating the various spaces of dialogue and confrontation when establishing the identities and cultural specificity of a certain society or community.
Acculturating Age: Approaches to Cultural Gerontology
Acculturating refers to the interchange of patterns of behaviour, perceptions and ideas between groups of individuals who have different cultural backgrounds. This book, which is the result of collaboration between specialists from different disciplines from around the world, allows the comparison of systems of dependency, mediation skills, empathy and social understanding and cultural attitudes towards people who experience the stages of aging.

Su imaginario es comparable, puesto que se proyectaba desde su experiencia y cosmovisión personal así como desde su profundo conocimiento de la tradición literaria. Ambos revelan los paralelismos entre los contextos históricos y culturales en los que se crearon sus poemas y ejemplifican su propósito como poetas a la hora de preservar la tradición formada por sus predecesores y a la hora de suscribirse de un modo significativo a ella.

Detoxing Masculinity in Anglophone Literature and Culture
This edited volume rethinks Masculinity Studies by breaking away from the notion of the perpetual crisis of masculinity. It argues that not enough has been done to distinguish patriarchy from masculinity and proposes to detox masculinity by offering a collection of positive representations of men in fictional and non-fictional texts. The editors show how ideas of hegemonic and toxic masculinity have been too fixed on the exploration of dominance and subservience, and too little on the men (and the male characters in fiction) who behave following other ethical, personal and socially accepted patterns. Bringing together research from different periods and genres, this collection provides broad, multidisciplinary insights into alternative representations of masculinity.
Emerson in Iran
Emerson in Iran is the first full-length study of Persian influence in the work of the seminal American poet, philosopher, and translator, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Extending the current trend in transnational studies back to the figural origins of both the United States and Iran, Roger Sedarat's insightful comparative readings of Platonism and Sufi mysticism reveal how Emerson managed to reconcile through verse two countries so seemingly different in religion and philosophy. By tracking various rhetorical strategies through a close interrogation of Emerson's own writings on language and literary appropriation, Sedarat exposes the development of a latent but considerable translation theory in the American literary tradition. He further shows how generative Persian poetry becomes during Emerson's nineteenth century, and how such formative effects continue to influence contemporary American poetry and verse translation.
The Silenced Muse
The Silenced Muse is the first full-length biography of Emily Hale, the longtime secret love of celebrated poet T. S. Eliot. This compelling story of the amateur actress and university professor finally explores Hale's side of the relationship, drawing on the 1,131 letters Eliot sent Hale that were only recently made available to the public.
Contemporary Reconfigurations of American Literary Classics
The number and popularity of novels that have overtly reconfigured aspects of classic American texts suggests a curious trend for both readers and writers, an impulse to retell and reread books that have come to define American culture. This book argues that by revising canonical American literature, contemporary American writers are (re)writing an American myth of origins, creating one that corresponds to the contemporary writer’s understanding of self and society. Informed by cognitive psychology, evolutionary literary criticism, and poststructuralism, Entzminger reads texts by canonical authors Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, Alcott, Twain, Chopin, and Faulkner, and by the contemporary writer...
