English Studies in the 21st Century
English Studies in the 21st Century presents the results of recent academic research concerning a wide spectrum of subjects—including politics, psychology, religion, philosophy, history, culture, aesthetics, and education—related to literary, cultural, and language studies. Specifically, this collection includes scholarly reflections, interpretations, criticisms, and experiments that both strengthen and challenge dominant perspectives on the English literary tradition and contribute to a multifaceted discussion of contemporary drama and theater, contemporary theory and fiction, Neo-Victorianism, the Anthropocene, posthumanism, and interdisciplinary studies in English, including linguistics and ELT. The book will be an ideal reference for both academics and students.

The volume also includes a number of informative research articles on comparative and translation studies which will offer assistance to young scholars in their academic studies. In addition to acting as a guide to young academics, the book will also function as a fruitful reference book in a wide range of English literary studies.
謎樣吳爾芙
維吉妮亞‧吳爾芙，她的人生與她的作品，為什麼是謎樣的？ 生長在英國維多利亞時代末期的倫敦，吳爾芙有著一位德高望重的文壇巨星父親。然而，令人驚訝的是，在她的一生當中，吳爾芙從來沒有接受過任何一天正規的學校教育。她父親萊斯利‧史帝芬在家中的圖書室，便是吳爾芙智識的最佳來源。熱愛閱讀，又極富想像力的她，在孩提時代便擅長於觀察週遭的環境。整座倫敦城，不單只是吳爾芙寫作靈感的來源，更進一步的，在文學以及繪畫、電影和攝影創作之中，重生了新的風貌，也將維多利亞時代的文學，過渡到了現代主義的浪潮之中。 作者在本書之中，除探討吳爾芙的人生，與她的寫作，以及與視覺藝術的關係外，更進一步以吳爾芙式的思考方式來探討東方哲人孔子的學說，將東西方對於人文思考的概念作一整合，藉著差異之中來觀照人文的省思。【秀威資訊科技股份有限公司製作】
Henry More. The Immortality of the Soul
The significance of Henry More's vitalist philosophy in the history of ideas has been realized relatively recently, as the bibliography will reveal. The general neglect of the Cambridge Platonist movement may be attributed to the common prejudice that its chief exponents, especially More, were obscure mystics who were neither coherent in their philosophical system nor attractive in their prose style. I hope that this modern edition of More's principal treatise will help to correct this unjust im pression and reveal the keenness and originality of More's intellect, which sought to demonstrate the relevance of classical philosophy in an age of empirical science. The wealth of learning -- rangi...

Henry James: Travel Writings Vol. 2 (LOA #65)
Henry James’s travel writings are at once literary masterpieces, unsurpassed guidebooks and penetrating reflections on the international themes familiar from his fiction. This volume, the second of two, begins with the classic A Little Tour in France (1900), illustrated with Joseph Pennell’s exquisite drawings from the original edition. James begins his tour of the French countryside one rainy morning in mid-September of 1882, when he sets off for the city of Tours as a means of exploring the proposition that “though France might be Paris, Paris was by no means France.” From Tours, Balzac’s birthplace, James travels to the great chateaux of the Loire Valley, visiting Chambord, Ambo...
