ref. B9781501378973Paperback / softback. New. This book invites readers to think of Mediterranean cultures as interconnected worlds seen in light of how they evolve disappear are reborn and perpetually transform. This perspective intends to build bridges between the Northern and Southern coasts of the sea in order to broaden and deepen our understanding of current evolutions in Mediterranean worlds at the cultural literary artistic and geopolitical levels. As Paul Valéry suggested we can consider this plural space from the perspective of the intense cultural economic and human exchanges which have always characterized the Mare Nostrum. We can also consider Mediterranean worlds within an open enactive process deeply exploring their evolution between nature and culture examining the natural environment and the transforming relationships between humans and non-humans. The writers and researchers in Re-storying Mediterranean Worlds call for a dialog between the two coasts in order to connect what has been broken. In this volume they highlight an intercultural and creolized conscience traversing the Mediterranean worlds – including Italian French and Tunisian cultures but also migrations from to and within the region – and transcending any idea of communitarian withdrawal. These essays express the urgent need to shift from an understanding of migration as suffering to the notion that mobility is an unalienable right building foundations for a new idea of global citizenship. paperback
ref. B9781501377051Paperback / softback. New. Beyond Safety argues that concerns about the ethical impossibility of individual safety in the face of risks with increasingly obvious global consequences alters representations of neoliberal contemporary life. As the climate crises in the Caribbean and Australia ongoing European refugee and American border crises and most recently anxieties about Coronavirus illustrate contemporary life is characterized by global connections that produce and reflect precarious outcomes and dangers. The ability to ignore risk or shift it to others underscores the fact that it is mitigable for particular segments of society while inescapable for others. Emily Johansen investigates depictions of global danger and safety in contemporary transnational fictional and popular texts—those characterized by a narrative or representational emphasis on border crossing and global interdependences. She demonstrates how these texts use risk to question and re-imagine the norms and practices of contemporary global citizenship. Beyond Safety thus brings together three of the central keywords of contemporary literary criticism of the last ten years cosmopolitanism precarity neoliberalism and shows how their intersection allows for a fuller conception of contemporary life and imagines a new global future. paperback

The Presidents of American Fiction brings together American literature history and political science to explore the most influential fictionalized accounts of the presidency from the early 19th century to the time of Trump. Of late popular understandings of the presidency are being radically re-written—consider for example the distinctive myths that accompanied the ascent of the Obama and Trump administrations—and many readers of all stripes are radically reimagining the office and its holder. Placing these changes within a broader cultural context Michael J. Blouin investigates narratives involving fictional presidents from the supposedly factual to the outright fantastical within their distinct literary and historical moments. The author considers representative texts including works penned by James Fenimore Cooper from the Jacksonian moment Gore Vidal in the age of Nixon and Vietnam and Philip Roth in the neoliberal period. Through detailed readings that question how American presidents function as characters within the popular imagination this book examines the presidency as a complex ever-evolving trope and in so doing enhances our appreciation of American literature’s inextricable link with American politics. hardcover
ref. B9781501374913Paperback / softback. New. Studies that connect the Spanish 17th and 20th centuries usually do so through a conservative lens assuming that the blunt imperialism of the early modern age endlessly glorified by Franco’s dictatorship was a constant in the Spanish imaginary. This book by contrast recuperates the thriving humanistic vision of the Golden Age celebrated by Spanish progressive thinkers writers and artists in the decades prior to 1939 and the Francoist Regime. The hybrid modern stance of the country in the 1920s and early 1930s would uniquely incorporate the literary and political legacies of the Spanish Renaissance into the ambitious design of a forward democratic future. In exploring the complex understanding of the multifaceted event that is modernity the life story and literary opus of Miguel de Cervantes 1547-1616 acquires a new significance given the weight of the author in the poetic and political endeavors of those Spanish left-wing reformists who believed they could shape a new Spanish society. By recovering their progressive dream buried for almost a century of incipient and full Spanish modernities Ana María G. Laguna establishes a more balanced understanding of both the modern and early modern periods and casts doubt on the idea of a persistent conservatism in Golden Age literature and studies. This book ultimately serves as a vigorous defense of the canonical as well as the neglected critical traditions that promoted Cervantes’s humanism in the 20th century. paperback

ref. B9781501374142Paperback / softback. New. This open access book explores literary works and practices – always existing in the dynamic relation between locations and orientations – in a series of carefully designed case studies. Explicitly expressed or implied manifesting itself sometimes as dislocation and disorientation the claiming of space by any symbolic means necessary is revealed as a constant effect of literary endeavors. In dialogue with geopolitics of culture sociology and anthropology attention to literary locations and orientations brings spatial particularity into the study of world literatures. These case studies demonstrate that four key terms cosmopolitan vernacular location orientation can frame analyses of very different types of literary acts and texts in the contemporary period allowing for distinctions that are not captured within the grids of other conceptual pairs like centre-periphery local-global postcolonial-metropolitan North-South. With this framing expressive practices in a wide range of regions – including Europe Africa the Middle East and the Pacific – are analysed in ways that bring out how spatiality is at stake in the cosmopolitan-vernacular dynamic.

Phillips 5199. Moreland & Bannister. In 1667 the Dutch sailed up the Thames & destroyed a great part of the British Navy in the Medway & bombarded Chatham. and the Government was shaken. by the realisation that the Dutch new more about the coastline of England than the English themselves & their confidence was not increased when it was found that John Seller in producing the first volume of his marine atlas the English Pilot in 1671 was still using Dutch plates & often very old ones at that. As now government was tardy in action & it was not until 1681 that Samuel Pepys as Secretary of the Navy instructed Captain Greenville Collins to carry out a survey of British coasts & harbours. In due course after a seven year survey Captain Collins issued in 1693 the Great Britain's Coasting Pilot an outstanding work consisting of 48 charts the first complete Pilot Book in English of all the coasts of Great Britain & the surrounding islands with special attention of course to the ports Moreland & Bannister. In 1693 he finally published his results in a folio volume of two parts Great Britain's Coasting Pilot containing sailing directions tide tables coastal views & about forty-nine charts. The charts were not completely accurate but with all their shortcomings they were an enormous advance on anything before them & entitle Collins to rank not only with the earliest but with the best of English hydrographers. The work covered England and Scotland & though Collins proposed a further study to cover Ireland the plan came to nothing. Collins recorded that he had spent £40 on instruments & charged £80 for the 120 manuscript maps he delivered. With his claim for expenses set at £200 per annum & his wages of £394 10s. he claimed a total of £1914 10s. for his work which was eventually paid in arrears. The cost was more than three times the original estimate. His cousin Freeman Collins printed the Coasting Pilot which Richard Mount sold. Mount's subsequent firm then went on to publish twenty-one further editions of the pilot throughout the nineteenth century. William Mount and Thomas Page hardcover
