Romanticism, Self-canonization, and the Business of Poetry
Michael Gamer explodes the myth of the unworldly Romantic poet, showing writers' interest in public presence, and profit and loss.
Romanticism and the Gothic
This is the first full-length study to examine the links between high Romantic literature and what has often been thought of as a merely popular genre - the Gothic. Michael Gamer offers a sharply focused analysis of how and why Romantic writers drew on Gothic conventions whilst, at the same time, denying their influence in order to claim critical respectability. He shows how the reception of Gothic literature, including its institutional and commercial recognition as a form of literature, played a fundamental role in the development of Romanticism as an ideology. In doing so he examines the early history of the Romantic movement and its assumptions about literary value, and the politics of reading, writing and reception at the end of the eighteenth century. As a whole the book makes an original contribution to our understanding of genre, tracing the impact of reception, marketing and audience on its formation.
Gaming Concepts: a Video Gaming Curriculum for Schools
This coil bound version of Gaming Concepts is perfect for those teachers who would like to make copies of the handouts that have been provided in the resources section of the book.Dr. Kristy Custer and Dr. Michael Russell co-wrote Gaming Concepts because they saw a way to take something that students loved and turn it into an educational opportunity that would both motivate and engage both high-level achievers and apathetic learners. In addition, both authors repeatedly asked the question, "Who is teaching these kids how to be safe while playing these games? And, who is teaching these kids what is and what is not appropriate while gaming?" They saw a need to provide structure in the gaming c...
Gamelife
Portrait of the artist as a young gamer. Gamelife is part memoir of childhood in the eighties, part meditation on the imaginative world of computer games—and altogether wonderful, luminous and profound. Michael Clune's first computer game is the text-based adventure 'Suspended' in which the player types commands, directing robots to save the planet from destruction. The game raises deep questions for the boy and provides a framework for his imagination about himself and the world. Seven primitive PC games take on an almost religious significance in Michael's life. Gamelife is one of those books that makes you see things differently, a brilliant memoir of a kid discovering his own mental po...
Gaming Concepts
Dr. Kristy Custer and Dr. Michael Russell co-wrote Gaming Concepts because they saw a way to take something that students loved and turn it into an educational opportunity that would both motivate and engage both high-level achievers and apathetic learners. In addition, both authors repeatedly asked the question, "Who is teaching these kids how to be safe while playing these games? And, who is teaching these kids what is and what is not appropriate while gaming?" They saw a need to provide structure in the gaming community, especially to young gamers who were modeling, not always appropriately, what the more mature gamers were doing.Gaming Concepts was written as a turn-key curriculum that a...

A Cultural History of Tragedy in the Age of Empire
How have ideas of the tragic influenced Western culture? How has tragedy been shaped by its social and cultural conditions? In a work that spans 2,500 years, these ambitious questions are addressed by 55 experts, each contributing their overview of a theme applied to a period in history. Extending far beyond the established aesthetic tradition, the volumes describe the forms tragedy takes to represent human conflict and suffering, and how it engages with matters of philosophy, society, politics, religion and gender. Volume 5 covers the period 1800-1920.
Shakespeare and the Culture of Romanticism
The idea of Shakespearean genius and sublimity is usually understood to be a product of the Romantic period, promulgated by poets such as Coleridge and Byron who promoted Shakespeare as the supreme example of literary genius and creative imagination. However, the picture looks very different when viewed from the perspective of the myriad theater directors, actors, poets, political philosophers, gallery owners, and other professionals in the nineteenth century who turned to Shakespeare to advance their own political, artistic, or commercial interests. Often, as in John Kemble’s staging of The Winter’s Tale at Drury Lane or John Boydell’s marketing of paintings in his Shakespeare Gallery...
Victorian Ethical Optics
Victorian Ethical Optics asks how artists and authors in the Victorian period answer the ethical question of how one should live with others by turning to a more specific one: how should one look at others? Looking would seem to necessarily lead to interpretation and judgment, but this book shows how Victorian artists and authors imagined other ethical and optical relations. In an era in which aberrant, deformed, and disabled bodies proliferated—particularly those bodies ravaged by industrial labor and poverty—the ideological and economic stakes of looking at such bodies peaked; moreover, as work became a gospel and the question of deservingness became central, looking at aberrant bodies...
