Studying English LiteratureA Practical GuideTory YoungAnglia Ruskin University, Cambridge

This essential guide provides the answers every first-year English student wants to know about how to approach the subject. It explains the history of literary criticism in an easily digestible form and offers clear advice on how to read and write effectively, with many interactive features, key tips and examples.

‘An ideal course-book and companion. Full of practical tools and fresh insights, this is a book that not only shows how to read, research and write about English literature, it also explores why. Much more than a ‘study skills’ manual, it encourages a genuinely historical and theoretical grasp of the subject.’Professor Rob Pope, Oxford Brookes University

• The first three chapters cover what to do before you even start to write an essay – puts argument at the centre of the studying and writing process

• Shows students how to dissect a text and create an argument using practical but not patronising techniques and questions, e.g. folded paper dialogue technique. These accessible techniques and strategies relieve anxiety in students, which is half of the problem!

Writing WellThe Essential GuideMark Tredinnick

Writing Well is a guide to expressive creative writing and effective professional prose. The author, a poet, writer, editor and teacher, explains the techniques required for stylish and readable writing. Everyone who wants to write better can benefit from this book, which describes how to: • identify topics that inspire you to write • get into the habit of writing regularly • develop ideas

• construct effective arguments • choose words for maximum effect • use grammar correctly • structure sentences and paragraphs appropriately • write with integrity The book is enriched by examples from great modern writers, and includes a variety of exercises and suggestions for writing activities. Mark Tredinnick practises what he preaches, making his book highly enjoyable as well as technically instructive.

‘Most writing advice is fatuous, coma-inducing, stuffed-shirtish, elephantine, and utterly useless. Mark’s is funny, pointed, lean, friendly, and useful. It matters. It’s fun to read. It made me jump up and run to the typewriter and tell tall tales as fast as my fingers would fly.’Brian Doyle, author of Thirsty for the Joy: Australian & American Voices

The Letters of Samuel BeckettVolume 1: 1929–1940Edited by Martha Dow Fehsenfeldand Lois More OverbeckEmory University, Atlanta

The Letters of Samuel Beckett offers for the first time a comprehensive range of letters of one of the greatest literary figures of the twentieth century. This volume includes letters written between 1929 and 1940. It provides a vivid and personal view of Western Europe in the 1930s, marked by the gradual emergence, against his own hesitations and the indifference or hostility of others, of Beckett’s unique voice and sensibility. Even in the tentativeness of the early writing, the letters show his care for his work as well as what he must share or relinquish to allow it to have a life beyond, even despite, himself. Detailed introductions, translations, explanatory notes, profiles of major correspondents, chronologies, and other contextual information accompany the letters. For anyone interested in twentieth-century literature and theatre this edition offers not only a record of achievements but a powerful literary experience in itself. 2008 228 x 152 mm 600pp 18 half-tones 978-0-521-86793-1 Hardback c. £30.00 Publication October 2008

Culture and SacrificeRitual Death in Literature and OperaDerek HughesUniversity of Aberdeen

Human sacrifice has fascinated Western writers since the beginnings of European literature. It is prominent in Greek epic and tragedy, and returned to haunt writers after the discovery of the Aztec mass sacrifices. It has been treated by some of the greatest creative geniuses, including Shakespeare and Wagner, and was a major topic in the works of many Modernists, such as D. H. Lawrence and Stravinsky. In literature, human sacrifice is often used to express a writer’s reaction to the residue of barbarism in his own culture. The meaning attached to the theme therefore changes profoundly from one period to another, yet it remains as timely an image of cultural collapse as it did over two thousand years ago. Drawing on sources from literature and music, Derek Hughes examines the representation of human

sacrifice in Western culture from the Iliad to the invasion of Iraq.

‘Culture and Sacrifice is an astonishing book. What is most striking is the certainty of the author’s scholarship and the ease with which he commands great areas of knowledge … the material is fascinating and it is presented with great authority by a scholar who writes with extraordinary force and clarity. Few will doubt the scope of this achievement. It is a long time since I myself read so impressive, and so fascinating, a work of scholarship.’Sir Frank Kermode

The Cambridge History of English Romantic LiteratureEdited by James Chandler

The Romantic period was one of the most creative, intense and turbulent periods of English literature, an age marked by revolution, reaction, and reform in politics, and by the invention of imaginative literature in its distinctively modern form. This History presents an engaging account of six decades of literary production around the turn of the nineteenth century. Reflecting the most up-to-date research, the essays are designed both to provide a narrative of Romantic literature, and to offer new and stimulating readings of the key texts. One group of essays addresses the various locations of literary activity – both in England and, as writers developed their interests in travel and foreign cultures, across the world. A second set of essays traces how texts responded to great historical and social change. With a comprehensive bibliography, timeline and index, this volume will be an important resource for research and teaching in the field.Contributors: James Chandler, John Brewer, Susan Manning, Catherine Gallager, Clifford Siskin, John Barrell, Ian Duncan, Luke Gibbons, David Simpson, Esther Schor, W.

The English Poems of George HerbertEdited by Helen WilcoxUniversity of Wales, Bangor

George Herbert (1593-1633) is widely regarded as the greatest devotional poet in the English language. His volume of poems, The Temple, published posthumously in 1633, became one of the most widely read and influential collections of the seventeenth century. Almost 400 years after they were first published in Cambridge by the ‘printers to the Universitie’, Cambridge University Press is pleased to present the definitive scholarly edition of Herbert’s complete English poems, accompanied by extensive explanatory and textual apparatus. The text is meticulously annotated with historical, literary and biblical information, as well as the modern critical contexts which now illuminate the poems. In addition to the lively introduction and notes, this edition includes a glossary of key words, an index of biblical quotations, and the authentic texts of Herbert’s work.2007 228 x 152 mm 786pp 5 half-tones 978-0-521-86821-1 Hardback £90.00

Fitzgerald: The Beautiful and DamnedEdited by James L. W. West IIIPennsylvania State University

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s second novel, The Beautiful and Damned (1922), was a pivotal book in his career. A trenchant satire of the Jazz Age, it is very much a novel of its times. This edition is based on the surviving manuscript, the serialized version from Metropolitan magazine, the Scribners 1922 first American edition, and the Collins 1922 first British edition. The volume includes a detailed account of the composition of the novel, a textual apparatus, a chronology of composition, and, uniquely, three versions of the ending. Explanatory notes identify Fitzgerald’s topical and historical references — to books and authors, Broadway shows and Manhattan cabarets, movie stars and sports heroes, statesmen and criminals, business tycoons and historical figures. These notes situate The Beautiful and Damned in its times and deepen the reader’s understanding of Fitzgerald’s sources for the novel.The Cambridge Edition of the Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald

During the last six years of his life, F. Scott Fitzgerald was an Esquire author. Between 1934 and 1940, Fitzgerald sold some forty-five pieces of writing to the magazine – fiction, nonfiction, and personal essays. This volume of the Cambridge Edition includes thirteen short stories published by Fitzgerald in Esquire, together with the entire Pat Hobby Series -seventeen stories about an aging screenwriter scrambling to make a living in Hollywood during the 1930s. One other story – “Dearly Beloved,” submitted to Esquire but not published there – is included as an appendix. The volume provides restored, accurate texts based on Fitzgerald’s surviving manuscripts, typescripts, and proofs. A textual apparatus records editorial decisions; explanatory notes identify people, places, literary works, historical events, and references to Hollywood actors, directors, and films.

New texts of Joseph Conrad’s modern classic ‘The Secret Sharer’ and of two other tales appear in this edition of ‘Twixt Land and Sea with numerous words, sentences, and entire paragraphs restored from Conrad’s manuscripts and typescripts. Written while he was working on Under Western Eyes, these stories, when collected together in 1912, marked the turning point in Conrad’s professional fortunes that Chance would soon confirm. Published for the first time as Conrad meant them to be, these authoritative texts are accompanied by a new Introduction that discusses their sources, composition, and publication, and their reception up to our time. The Notes explain nautical, geographical, and historical references and are supplemented by diagrams, maps, and other illustrations. A textual essay and apparatus examine the revisions, excisions, divisions, and censorship the tales underwent, which till now have been reflected in editions unduly trusted by countless readers.The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Joseph Conrad

Serialized in Ford Madox Ford’s English Review in 1908–9, A Personal Record (1912) both documents and fictionalizes Conrad’s early life and the opening stages of his careers as a writer and as a seaman. It is also an artistic and political manifesto. This volume provides

the most accurate and scholarly edition available. Mistakes introduced by typists and earlier publishers have been corrected to present the text as Conrad intended it. The introduction traces Conrad’s sources and gives the history of writing and reception. The essay on the text and the apparatus set out the textual history. The notes explain literary and historical references, identify places, and gloss foreign terms. Four maps and a genealogical table supplement this explanatory material. This edition of A Personal Record, established through modern textual scholarship, presents Conrad’s reminiscences and the volume’s two prefaces in forms more authoritative than any so far printed.The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Joseph Conrad

The years 1711 to 1714 saw some of Swift’s most brilliant and powerful political pamphleteering. Writing for the Tory government, he did more to settle the fate of parties and the nation than any literary figure, before or since. This volume collects together major defences of the government’s position, including The Conduct of the Allies and The Publick Spirit of the Whigs, vigorous attacks on his opponents, short satirical broadsides, and brief contributions to periodicals. It also includes some little known work not present in previous editions of Swift. This is the first fully annotated edition of these works. A comprehensive introduction, drawing on contemporary literary and historical scholarship, is supported by detailed explanatory notes on each text. It is also the first edition to identify and collate all relevant contemporary editions and

The Cambridge Introduction to Creative WritingDavid MorleyUniversity of Warwick

Accessible, entertaining and groundbreaking, The Cambridge Introduction to Creative Writing is not only useful textbook for students and teachers of writing, but also an entertaining and inspiring read in its own right. Aspiring authors and teachers of writing will find much to discover and enjoy.

‘No writer-teacher is better qualified than David Morley to lift the veils on the discipline of Creative Writing. He writes with all his feelings and a richness of metaphor that is beguiling for the general reader, the general writer, and the teacher. The exercises are inspired, growing out of the author’s profound understanding of the inviolable connection between good writing and good and various reading. This book will be an inspiration and tool for teachers and writers who, like Morley, understand that the development of writing involves acquiring skills, and that inborn genius benefits from training and understanding.’Professor Michael Schmidt, Professor of Poetry, University of Glasgow

The Martin Marprelate TractsA Modernized and Annotated EditionEdited by Joseph L. BlackUniversity of Massachusetts

The Martin Marprelate tracts are the most famous pamphlets of the English Renaissance; to their contemporaries they were the most notorious. Printed in 1588 and 1589 on a secret press carted across the English countryside from one sympathetic household to another, the seven tracts attack the Church of England, particularly its Bishops (hence the pseudonym, Mar-prelate), and advocate a Presbyterian system of church government. Scandalously witty, racy, and irreverent, the Marprelate tracts are the finest prose satires of their era. Their colloquial style and playfully self-dramatizing manner influenced the fiction and theatre of the Elizabethan Golden Age. This is the first fully annotated edition of the tracts to appear in almost a century. A lightly modernized text makes Martin Marprelate’s famous voice easily accessible, and a full introduction details the background, sources, production, authorship, and

Christopher Plantin and Engraved Book Illustrations in Sixteenth-Century EuropeKaren L. Bowenand Dirk ImhofPlantin-Moretus Museum, Antwerp

This is an interdisciplinary study of Christopher Plantin’s pioneering role in the production and distribution of books with engraved and etched illustrations in sixteenth-century Europe. Using the rich archival sources at the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Belgium, Karen Bowen and Dirk Imhof examine the artists that worked on these illustrations, the types of illustrations that appealed to specific markets, and the technological,

cultural and economic constraints under which Christopher Plantin operated as he ventured into this new area of publishing. They demonstrate how Plantin’s innovations led to a revolutionary change in taste for book illustrations and place his work within the broader context of the European book trade of the late sixteenth-century and Antwerp’s political, economic, cultural and religious history. This is a major contribution to the history of the book, art history and the economic and social history of early modern Europe.2008 246 x 189 mm 480pp 114 half-tones 3 graphs 978-0-521-85276-0 Hardback £70.00 Publication April 2008

Milton and the JewsEdited by Douglas A. BrooksTexas A & M University

The issue of the Jews deeply engaged Milton throughout his career. Well grounded in solid historical and theological research, the essays both collectively and individually offer an important contribution to the debate on Milton and Judaism, and will inspire new directions in Milton studies.

‘The essays in this volume richly document the productive ambivalence of Milton’s thinking about the Jews. On the one hand the suffering Jew who endures the Babylonian captivity and remains faithful to his God is a model for God’s Englishman. On the other, the literalist, surface-loving Jew – the outer Jew – exemplifies the idolatrous materialism that links him with the Turk and with Asian cybarites. Milton’s complex deployment of these two figures of the Jew, the contributors show, is a key to the structure of his thinking about almost every issue that arises in both the poetry and the prose. All this and the incidental pleasure of learning that Sin is Jewish. Who knew.’Stanley Fish

‘Patrick Cheney’s new monograph greatly enriches our sense of Shakespeare’s authorial status in his own time. Cheney’s incisive readings of plays of all genres, from early to late, suggest a playwright who reflected on literary authorship while functioning successfully within an intensely collaborative theatrical environment – a Shakespeare, in short, who could write both to the moment and for all time.’ Lukas Erne, University of Geneva

Anglo Saxon England

ISSN: 0263-6751Editors: Malcolm R. Godden, University of Oxford, UKSimon Keynes, University of Cambridge, UK

Anglo-Saxon England is recognised internationally as the foremost regular publication in its fi eld. In fact it is the only one which consistently embraces all the main aspects of study of Anglo-Saxon history and culture - linguistic, literary, textual, palaeographic, religious, intellectual, historical, archaeological and artistic - and which promotes the more unusual interests - in music or medicine or education, for example. Especially it seeks to exploit the advantages of a broadly based interdisciplinary approach.
