The Journey Abandoned
This unfinished work was unearthed among his papers by City College professor Murphy, along with Trilling's own preface and commentary on the work as it stands: 24 short chapters. The novel is based on the late-life of poet Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864), who got into some unpleasant business surrounding his Bath landlady and her 16-year-old ward. Trilling details the true-life incident in his preface, then moves his own story to 1930s New England.

The Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 1857
An overdue study of a groundbreaking event, this is the first book-length examination of the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 1857. Intended to rehabilitate Manchester's image at a heady time of economic prosperity, the Exhibition became a touchstone for aesthetic, social, and economic issues of the mid-nineteenth century. Reverberations of this moment can be followed to the present day in the discipline of art history and its practice in public museums of Europe and America. Highlighting the tension between art and commerce, philanthropy and profit, the book examines the Exhibition's organization and the presentation of the works of art in the purpose-built Art Treasures Palace.

Walter Besant
In the 1880s and 1890s, Walter Besant was one of Britain’s most lionized living novelists.Today he is comparatively unknown.Bringing together literary critics and book historians, as well as social and cultural historians, this volume provides a major reassessment of Besant.
Fo'c's'le Yarns
FO'C'S'LE YARNS presents four of T. E. Brown's best Yarns uncensored for the first time. These narrative poems were originally published in 1881 in an edition Brown called an "emasculation" of his best work. George Eliot, Max Müller, Francis Thompson, and W.H. Henley admired his work, yet he was eventually dismissed as too Victorian. These original texts demonstrate the inaccuracy of this characterization with their bold treatment of sex, and their dramatic inclusion of the rough give-and-take between the yarnspinner and his shipmates in the forecastle. The frankness of the Yarns makes them a significant expression of Manx experience and culture, as does their close imitation of the dialect. The interplay offers a vivid picture of men trying to understand women in terms of their own stereotypes, limited experience, and remoteness from domestic life while sailing the sea. The editors provide a brief introduction, and copious explanatory notes identifying allusions and Manx customs and places.
In the Classic Mode
In this study Dr. Stanford surveys and evaluates the major achievements of Robert Bridges (1844-1930), an important poet, dramatist, scholar, and man of letters whose work has been unjustifiably neglected in recent years. Making use of Bridge's letters, Dr. Stanford has written a volume of criticism that reflects both the poet and the man.
