    par Pamela Regis ...
    The romance novel has the strange distinction of being the most popular but least respected of literary genres.

    Faith and Art in the Post-War Fiction

Marcel DeCoste offers detailed analyses of Waugh's major works from Brideshead Revisited to Unconditional Surrender. Rather than representing an ill-advised departure from his true calling as an iconoclastic satirist, DeCoste suggests, these novels form a cohesive, ... En savoir plus

  • Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Reprinting and the Embodied Book

    par Jessica DeSpain ...
    Collections series Ashgate Series in Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Studies
    Until the Chace Act in 1891, no international copyright law existed between Britain and the United States, which meant publishers were free to edit text, excerpt whole passages, add new illustrations, and substantially redesign a book's appearance. In spite of this ongoing process of transatlantic transformation of texts, the metaphor of the book as a physical embodiment of its author persisted. ... En savoir plus

    Expenditure, Labor, Value

    par Yan Zi-Ling ...

Using the detective as a reference point and enactor of socially based interests, Yan shows that Golden Age texts are distinguished by their ... En savoir plus
